Basics
- A Vacuum Cleaner that uses piping and wall hose units rather than portable cleaners
- The non pipe/port hardware is typically housed in a Utility Room or Garage (Room Type)
Pro's
- Is much quieter (as the moving parts outside of a brushroll etc) are elsewhere, larger units are fine and thus building them is easier, and it allows for better filtration (bulkier scrubbers/filters etc)
- Easier to use as only hose weight is there
- Can allow for filtration of heavy particles such as shop sawdust, or cnc milling dust, and keep them in separate bins
- Can also be used with dustbin like wall slots, and Robot Vacuum Emptying Stations
Con's
- Easy to Install (Just PVC Pipe in the walls like wire conduit), and the hardware (motor, filters etc) can be added later
- Near impossible to retrofit
The Takeaway
- For OBI houses and buildings this could be a huge added benefit, and would be cheap to include (Just some Piping, and a bit more labor)
- It would also make quality open source vacuums cleaners much easier to make
- Also it will reduce mess in shops while not having the noise of a Shop VAC
- If the dust pan emptying slots are used when applicable it may reduce run time and thus power consumption as well
