Arch Vacuums

[Jon]

I’m looking to install paid vacuums and was going to go with the arch vacs to give it more of a “professional” look

However, after reading a couple of threads, some people said the arch vacuums gets clogged way more frequently than standard vacs.
If that’s so, why do all the big name washes always install vacs

Owners with arch vacs, I would love to hear your opinion!

The demographics my wash is in is middle class to lower middle class income level

Are you talking about central vac systems or solo canister vacs?

 

[Jon]

It’s paid vacs and cannister

I m going to jump in and ask for opinions as well. I want to rid myself of islands ( mine are in front of the ss bays).
Any opinions of the set like the pic I attached.
Pay vacs with scanners for app customers, all the goodies, etc.
Just want the opinions of this style.
Thanks

I have that style vacs, clogging in the hoses is an issue, they need to be checked at least twice a day. It doesn't really matter how often you check somebody will plug it 5 minutes after you checked it and the person after them will be in your office complaining about the vacuum not having any suction. I honestly don't know if I'd install them again.

Definitely stay away from crevice tools if installing arch vacs. Clogs are an issue and they do need checked at least twice daily. I still feel for the look its worth it though.

We have 6 JE Adams V Arches.
