Central Vacuum Issue
Not my house helping a friend.
If I unplug the central vacuum main suction line in the garage I seem to have good suction right at the unit. Inside the house I would describe the suction as 'anemic'.
Thinking it was clogged I sucked a piece of string through all the lines , then pulled a plastic bottle cap backwards through the outlet. Nothing, all clear.
I did the same with the hose. Not clogged.
Now I am stumped. Possible reasons
a) there is leaking tube somewhere - but I can't hear a leak, and the tubes are all buried in the walls, why would they leak now?
b) an open outlet - but she swears there are only three outlets in the house.
I am stumped now...any ideas?
