Split level central vacuum

[centralvacs1928]

Here's a short clip of testing out a 25 year old dual motor Vacu-Maid S3200...technically a split can unit but the canisters are mounted right next to each other (pretty typical).

This unit would not have been this loud when it was new, but thanks to many years of debris passing through the filterless cyclonic separator and into the impellers, it's ear piercing.

"Silent Partner" lol. With that high pitched tone, I wonder if it might benefit from new bearings.

I remember that system! It was from one of your blogs online I've read years ago, should've been called "Not So Silent Partner by VacuMaid".

Vacguy1984, I believe I know what you are asking. You want a video with sound of a central vacuum system where the motor module is separated from the trash tank. These units are extremely rare (except the Vacumaid P325) and thus you will not find much documentation of them. I do not believe you would find any of these at a VacShop display because it is not the normal products they want to sell. From MD (Hide-a-Hose) we build maybe 3-4 per year and they are going into unique applications such as Vet Centers or commercial applications. And they will sound identical to their counterpart where the motor module is attached to the trash tank.

But why are they rare? I understand they are hard to come across to document, I was asking in general if anybody who lives in a home with a split central vac unit if they could video their unit running and I can hear what they sound like. That was all I was asking!

Holy Fuck, woowwwzers you weren’t kidding that sounds horrifying, sounds like it needs a good cleaning and new bearings.
