Imperium - When only the best will do

Imperium CV3200 Filtered Cyclonic Central Vacuum Power Unit
MADE IN THE USA

Our Imperium inverted bag unit has a permanent filter. This special Surf-Tex™ filter resists bacteria, mold, and mildew growth. This material can also capture particles as small as .3 microns and has a dust retention of 97% efficiency. The Imperium CV3200 inverted bag unit has a convenient utility valve on the unit. The debris is collected in the bottom canister.

The CV3200 uses an extremely strong 5.7" 2 Stage Flow Thru motor giving you suction power of 561 Air Watts. With the baffling system around the motor it is the quietist 110 voltage system on the market at 58 db.

The Imperium CV3200 also features a patented Air Channel, which allows a plastic can liner to be used inside the dirt canister making emptying the can less hassle and less mess.

Components of a Central Vacuum System

The Central Vacuum Power Unit : The central vacuum motor and dirt canister are one unit that is separated on the bottom for emptying the dirt canister and cleaning the permanent filter. The Imperium CV3200 has a 5.7" two-stage Lamb Ametek motor, one of the best central vacuum motors in the industry today. These units are treated with special non-corrosive paint so they remain rust-free although stored in hot and humid places.

 power unit

Central Vacuum Inlets: Depending on the size of your home and the length hose you choose, these inlets will be installed in your walls at various locations. When the end of the hose is inserted to the inlet, the power unit automatically turns on so you can start vacuuming immediately. Inlets come in a variety of attractive styles to go with the decor of your home like polished brass, etc. We have information on our website to help you plan the number of inlets you need for your home. Check out this article.

Vacu-Maid Inlet

Central Vacuum Piping: Piping can be either standard central vacuum piping or schedule 40 plumbers piping along with special adaptors we sell. Using Schedule 40 piping allows you to purchase the piping for the job at your local hardware store. You can check out our DIY Knowledgebase article that discuss the considerations of which type of piping you choose.

Vacu-Maid Piping

Central Vacuum Sweep Inlets: You can choose to install a special type of inlet in your home that can be used for sweeping dirt directly into the system. These sweep inlets located floor level at the base of a cabinet or wall are great for when you want to do quick cleanups in a highly trafficked area like a kitchen without pulling out the hose and attachments. You can just activate the central vacuum system when you open the inlet to push dirt into it.

Vacu-Maid Sweep Inlets

Central Vacuum Attachments: Choosing the right attachments for your central vacuum system is probably one of the most important things you'll do in the process of selecting your system. There are lots of options these days and your choice depends on your needs. In addition to the hose, tools and powerhead that comes with your attachments, be sure to consider things like; do I want a garage tool kit too? Do I need tools for grooming my pet? Do I want a hand held revolving brush powerhead for cleaning stairs and the cars? Do I want the Holster Vac for cleaning the work bench area? The options are endless so look at what's available under Central Vacuum accessories or give us a call and let us help you choose the right kit for your needs.

Without a doubt the most powerful vacuum system we have ever had while at the same time being the quietest! How ever did they do that?! It makes cleaning quicker and easier because you don't have to go over and over an area to get it clean. Once over and it's done. Also, this may be a girly comment, but the power unit is SO pretty. It's the color of Dorothy's ruby slippers. My old one was gray...ugh. I recommend this vacuum system to everyone.

 Great Garage Vacuum

By Shane Verified Reviewer from Sioux Falls, SD on 11/14/2008

Pros: Powerful, super quiet
Best Uses: automotive detailing
Describe Yourself: Meticulous Cleaner
I Am A: family young kids
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I bought this vacuum to replace my shop vacuum that I was sick of listening too for hours on end. I detail vehicles in my free time and some construction vehicles interiors are basically used as pickups and require hours of vacuuming. I needed more power and noise reduction was a huge issue for me. This exceeds both beyond my wildest dreams. I am 110% satisfied with this purchase, the unit itself is beyond quiet, include the muffler and it's almost funny how quiet it is. I did exhaust it outside, but that didn't reduce the noise any further and I honestly don't know how it could.

This is a great product and so easy to use. My housekeeper left me a note saying "I love your new vacuum." Coming from someone who cleans a large number of houses, I believe that this comment speaks to the quality of the product.

 Great unit, quite, powerful, easy to install, and sharp looking

Pros: Easy to Install, Easy to Use
Best Uses: powerful
Describe Yourself: Professional
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This is a great unit, I choose it based on the low noise rating and it is indeed quite. I still added a muffler and that helps even more for exaust noise. We love this vac as it replaced our shop vac as the only option. The power unit gets hot but so far that hasn't caused any issues for us.
