55 years is a pretty good lifetime for a chiller. Hopefully those Trane chillers will have another decade of use before being in need of replacement. Unfortunately, I think 30 years is about how long they’re designed to last.

Doug Oh wow!!! That is both a stunning building and system! That is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to see a picture of. I don’t suppose you know how many horsepower that system was or how many “sweepers” (users) it could support? Maybe 25 hp? That is not very far away from me at all…...

Tolivac Very neat! Also very neat to hear about the air conditioning. I love seeing big chillers and large HVAC systems also. It is too bad that nobody knew about the central vacuum.

Owen I have seen your videos on Spencer literature and all of those buildings that at one time were equipped with a Spencer central vacuum system. Those buildings were all so beautiful and grand. It is very sad that the majority of them fell into disuse. Whether that be from the machine...

My apologies Sorry, I do not know why I had read power nozzle, you had just said nozzle. Never mind that then. That is my mistake, I apologize. I still would love to see the pictures if you ever find the booklet though.

Rugsucker That is very cool!!! Oh really? They were using a power nozzle? I have never seen a large installation where they are using a power nozzle. It is usually only a straight suction nozzle or sometimes a turbo brush. It is nice knowing that the carpets there were cleaned well! If you...

Are you talking about the one at the church?

Today, as they were vacuuming a bit of mess with the central vacuum at my mom's church, it got me wondering; what other large buildings have central vacuum systems that are still in use? More specifically, does anyone know of any Spencer vacuum systems still in use? (One where the inlets would...

Rob, I actually have a few Sweep N' Groom nozzles, no PB11's though. That's what people keep telling me, that nothing will beat the CT14DX. If only the modern Centec models were better quality, that would have also been one of my choices. They know how to clean carpets. They do. I find them...

Yes, she does literally vacuum her house every day. She has several kids and pets, it gets messy quick. But only the upstairs is carpeted (Around 800 square feet, I'd say.), plus a couple of rugs on the main floor. And she alternates between the central vac and her Dyson stick vac. Wessel-Werks...

Thank you. Thank you for your recommendations. I think that I'm going to go with the ET-2, as I do love the CT14DX. And I do apologize if I sounded against Wessel-Werk. I'm not, in fact, the EBK 360 seemed perfect for me. I'm just a bit leery because I have a freind who has one for her central...

Thank you very much Alex! Hmm, it’s a hard choice! I suppose that I’ll just have to get both of them one day! After all, one can never have too many powerheads! Do you find the ET-2 comparable to the CT14DX on your grandpa‘s Vacumaid system?

Well, I haven’t really met any collectors, so I can’t say. However, I can tell you that I am gay.

Thank you! I did not realize that it had that many improvements. Well, that most certainly makes it a no-brainer! I do really love Sebo. So, why exactly would you recommend the EBK 360 over the ET-2? How does the EBK 360 compare with the EBK 340?

Why do you think that the ET-2 is better than the ET-C?

Hello, I am considering buying a new power nozzle for my central vacuum, but I really don't know which one to get. I have a mix of carpet from short berber and commercial style carpeting in my basement to more plush (but not actually considered plush) carpeting in the bedrooms. I am currently...

Hello again, I do have a cyclonic dirt canister, the VacuMaid DC1200. Therefore, as Panasonicvac mentioned, changing to a flow thru motor would not be possible, due to the amount of dirt passing htorugh the motor. However, even if I didn't have a cyclonic unit, I would not get a flow thru motor...

Thanks everyone I think I'll just go with the old fashioned way - using earplugs. Madman, I do have a muffler. They're only like $10. Ultralux88, it is vented outside. I would never have a central vacuum and not exhaust it outside, that's one of my favourite features of them! n0oxy, one day...

Hello, and once again, thank you for the replies! As an update, I went ahead and lined the entire compartnment with foam, and made sure that there was no metal to metal contact, with the foam gasket at the top, and the rubber gasket at the bottom. Unfortunately, it really didn't make much of a...

Thank you for the replies! Thank you for your input. I am glad to know that there shouldn't be a problem, prolonging I keep all of the airpaths clear. Rex, I understand that they weren't designed to be quiet, but my unit is currenly in an unfinished basement, which doubles as a work area, and I...
