Why is there a loss or decrease of vacuum in my NuTone Central Vacuum Systems?
If your NuTone Central Vacuum System experiences a loss or decrease of vacuum, it might be due to several reasons. First, check if the debris pail is full and needs emptying. Second, there might be an obstruction in the hose; try inserting the handle end of the hose into the utility valve at the power unit to reverse airflow and dislodge clogs. Third, an obstruction could be present in the tubing system inside the walls; try using suction to clear it, or contact a service center if the blockage persists. Also, ensure all wall inlet covers are properly sealed and check for any clogs in the exhaust tubing or vent.
