Most of us tend to get angry when our vac fails. But the reality is: My vac has already out lived me. Just think about it for a moment…
How many jobs per year does your vac do for you?
I don’t know about you, but my vac does more in one year than what a residential vac will do in 30 years.
I’ve been to the doctor once or twice this year… and many, many times in the last 30. When was the last time your vac ended up on your examination table?
Mine tend to break on the lower end where the retaining ledge is.
This is caused by a “folding out” motion while trying to unlatch the cup.
This part can’t take alot of motion, and your actions must keep this in mind.
With direct management of myself and employees, in how we latch and unlatch the cup, we have drastically reduced this down to being an annual maintenance.
I have 2 vacs, and have only replaced 1 clip in the past 12 months.
It is the same as our bodies. Eat right, and exercise.
Then the only reason to see the doctor is for the problems of old age.
Good Luck
