Hide-A-Hose

Cleaning that leaves nothing to put away

With Hide-A-Hose the hose retracts into the tubing behind your wall when you are done. Nothing gets coiled up, nothing gets stored in a closet, and nothing gets carried from room to room. What changes is not how you clean. It is what your house has to hold.

What Changes

The difference shows up when you finish

How you clean does not change. You open an inlet, plug in, and clean the room. The difference arrives at the end of it, in what there is left to do.

  • Nothing to coil up

    When you have finished, the hose retracts into the tubing behind the wall. There is no length of it left in your hands to gather in.

  • No closet holding a hose

    The hose already has a place, and that place is inside the wall. There is nothing to store between cleanings.

  • Nothing carried room to room

    What travels with you is what is in your hand. Nothing stands in a corner waiting for the next time.

The Length

30 to 60 feet of hose, and all of it lives in the wall

Hide-A-Hose hoses are made in lengths from 30 to 60 feet. Whichever length a home is set up with, the whole of it sits inside the tubing between cleanings, and the only part ever out of the wall is the part you are holding.

A hose long enough to reach comfortably around the room it serves is a real object with a real size. That is the part worth picturing, because in a Hide-A-Hose home it does not have to live anywhere.

Which length suits your home is one of the things we work out with you in person, along with where the inlets belong.

Watch what happens at the wall

How It Works

Why the hose can stay in the wall

None of that is a clever bit of storage. The hose is not put away somewhere out of sight, it is kept inside the same tubing the system already runs through the house.

It lives in the tubing
At the inlet, the hose is stored inside the tubing behind the wall. That is the same tubing the suction travels through.
The unit draws it back
The suction from the power unit is what pulls the hose back into the wall when you are done with it.
You take out what you need
You pull out the length the room in front of you needs, and the rest of it stays where it is.
It fits the tubing, not the machine
Hide-A-Hose connects to the tubing inside your wall rather than to the power unit itself. That is why the name on your unit is not what decides the answer.

Both Ways In

Whichever house you have

The two sides split on one question and nothing else: is there a central vacuum in the house today. Either way it starts with a free walk-through of your home.

You already have a central vacuum

It is an upgrade for a system that is already in your wall, whoever installed it. Whether your existing tubing suits it is one of the things the free estimate answers.

You do not have one yet

Hide-A-Hose is decided as part of the system itself, while the route through the house is still being worked out rather than revisited afterwards.
