Recent studies have found that use of a built-in central vacuum system can accom- plish both by removing more dust, dirt and allergens from the living area than typical vacuums. The health impact of a built-in central vacuum system stems from the location of its power unit—typically outside the living area in a garage or basement. The unit’s motor offers up to five times the cleaning power of a typical vacuum without blowing air into the living area that can recirculate dust. And it takes 100 percent of the contacted dust, dirt and allergensoutside the living area. The substantial reduction of airborne dust, dust mites and pet dander can signicantly improve symptoms for many of the estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from indoor allergies. In fact, a recent clinical study of allergy patients at the University of Calornia-Davis, School of Med- icine found symptoms improved 44 percent to 61 percent when the patients used a Beam Central Vacuum System instead of a typical vacuum to clean their homes.
