We don't have much carpeting in our house, but if I did, I would love it if I could use my central vacuum system to clean my carpet. Well, the good news is, you can! We have been selling wet interceptors for central vacuum systems for years. They are just great for spills and plumbing leaks on all surfaces, but you can also use a wet interceptor with your central vacuum system to clean your carpet.
Aqua Air has several carpet cleaning kits to choose from. These kits come with an interceptor and all the accessories you need for extraction style cleaning.
Aqua Air also manufactures a quality complete central vacuum system designed for wet pickup, and I mean really designed for wet pickup. Some units say they are wet pickup, but the wet, soggy gunk goes into your central vacuum unit and you have to dump it! YUCK The Aqua Air central vacuum is a self flushing system so you never have to empty. The dirt and debris is flushed out. You can purchase the carpet cleaning accessory kit for the Aqua Air.
Here's what scares me. I've raised a family (five kids and my baby graduates from college next weekend) so I know kids. If something gets spilled and you are using a wet interceptor, then there it is and you know you have to empty it, On the other hand, if you are using a "wet pickup" central vac that you have to dump, I can just see the kids sucking up something they've spilled, and forgetting to empty the central vacuum canister, and before you know it you have maggots in your central vacuum system. DOUBLE YUCK!
So, if you want a less expensive alternative to the Aqua Air central vacuum system, then I would definitely suggest the Aqua Air interceptor which is attached to your existing central vacuum unit. This way the wet, soggy gunk goes into the interceptor and never reaches your unit. You still have to empty the canister, but it is a much better alternative than letting that stuff sit in your central vacuum unit.
The Aqua Air Interceptor and Accessory Kit includes:
Model AA017 Water Interceptor
Model AA371 Residential Wet Cleaning Kit
