Central Vacuum Bags.

If you are considering installing a central vacuum system into your home, you should be aware that some systems collect the accumulated dirt in central vacuum bags, that are located in the base unit, whereas other systems use a canister, or bagless system of collection.

There are advantages to each type of system.  Many people consider that bagging the dirt is a more old fashioned type of system and that it is better to empty the canister when it becomes full in the base unit.  When the canister needs to be emptied, a warning light flashes in the unit and you take the canister out to your compost heap, or trash receptacle and empty it.

However, this system does mean that there is certain amount of dirt and dust floating around while you are taking the canister out of the base unit and disposing of the contents.  If you are someone who suffers from dust allergies, you may be especially indisposed towards having to empty one of these canisters.  For this reason, you may prefer to simply take a full bag of dirt from the base unit and throw the dirt and bag into the trash, thereby having no dust escaping into the air.

Many of the modern makes of central vacuum bags are built to a very high standard and are strong and durable, so there is little chance of them becoming torn or damaged when you are inserting or removing them from the base unit.

Let us give 2 examples of bags for central vacuum systems that are presently on the market. 

· One example comprises a pack of 5 central vacuum bags, each of which holds 8 gallons of waste.  These bags fit many makes of central vacuum cleaners that use bags including Modern Day, Silent-Master, MD and Flo-Master units, once the total unit height is under 34 inches.  This product is called a Hyperflow bag and has a high specification with regard to filtering and air flow.  This product markets at around $18 online.
·  Another Hyperflow product comprises 5 bags which hold 12 gallons of dirt each.  The main difference between this bag and the previous product is the holding capacity of the bag.  This product markets at around $22 online.

Whether you install a central vacuum system that uses central vacuum bags or a canister, it is good to know that most of these systems only need to be emptied infrequently, perhaps once in three months.  When you compare this to a portable vacuum cleaner and think how often you have to empty the cleaner and replace the bag, you will realise that emptying a central vacuum cleaner is a much less labour intensive task.

Central vacuum bags are not to everyone’s taste.  Many customers favour the canister system and many manufacturers offer a larger range of canister models than models which hold bags.  However, for those who rather the bagged system of disposing of the waste from a central vacuum cleaner, there are still plenty of models to choose from.
