How Central Vacuums Work

A DVS® Central Vacuum System provides better air quality for you and your family. With a portable hose and wand, and an external dust collector located away from the living area, it’s the healthier, easier way to vacuum.

Hose and wand
The lightweight yet sturdy hose and wand hang neatly away. Then, when it’s time to vacuum, you simply connect the hose into one of the inlet valves placed around your home and the vacuum turns on automatically.

Inlet valves
You can move your central vacuum hose from inlet to inlet and even install an automatic dustpan inlet into rooms with hard floor surfaces so you can sweep debris into it using a regular broom.

PVC ducting
Each inlet valve connects into an integrated network of 50mm PVC ducting which is ducted out of sight in your home. The dirt and debris removed by vacuuming is sent through this ducting to a dust collector.

Dust collector and power unit
These are permanently located well away from the living areas – usually in a garage, basement or separate laundry. The remote location of the heavy-duty power unit means vacuuming is not as noisy, and therefore less likely to disturb anyone trying to sleep.

You don’t have to wait until you build your dream home to have a healthy, clean living environment; DVS® can install a Central Vacuum System into most existing New Zealand homes.
