If you're looking to go with paid vacs, use individual canisters with arches. A company that you can check out for those is Premier. For free vacs go with a large central. There are options for paid stations with a central vac, however, they are MUCH more expensive.

JE Adams also has canister vacs attached to individual arches.

As does Industrial Vacuum Systems. (IMHO, a better vacuum)

The one thing I like about Premier is that it has drops on both sides of a car attached to the same canister.

This is a bit of an old thread but ... it seems like the brand new local "Tommy Wash" has their 10 vacuums set up with "free use". I notice they are not central vacuum run & that they are only using 1-1/2" vacuum hose set up with an arch design??? The franchise gives the impression that they have been around for over 50 years. https://www.kxnet.com/news/business-beat/business-beat-tommys-express-car-wash-opens-in-bismarck/

Quick question I am interested in how dual hoses on a vacuum works suction wise wouldn't that hurt the suction or would it. I love IVS vacs myself very nice quality stainless. Just curious on how the suction would be with duals. Do you have them they look nice

You do it with this:

Dualer Car Wash Hose Adapter | Vacuums | Kleen-Rite

The Dualer allows you to use both a standard vacuum nozzle and a crevice tool on one vacuum at your car wash.

Ya I had tried them 10 years ago and absolutely hated them bc where the customer left the handle halfway and it sucked from both hoses the suction was affected too much for me. There is a operator near me that has them and loves them. Also both hoses use the same holder on vac when I done it. Maybe the newer models are better

Have dualers. Lots of feedback from Customers liking the claw vs crevice tool option. I have them on Islands that have 2 Vacs facing opposite ways and put a hanger on the back of the other vac for the second hose,

The IVS vacs with dual hoses have 3 motors, they are powerful enough to use both hoses at once and still have good suction. We used to use them when we were full service and I just installed 3 of them with the dual booms at one of my locations.

How much were those, before install?

They look really awsome I really wonder what they pull on a 2inch hose each sucking all the time that would be the true test for me. This has me so interested bc I like vacs 80inches or better of suction.
