EasySwitch® Wet-Dry Vac System
EXAIR’s patented EasySwitch® vacuum simplifies the filter change process when switching from vacuuming a dry material to a liquid or vice versa. Utilizing minimal compressed air, the EasySwitch is a powerful pneumatic vacuum that is ideal for any application - wet, dry, light and heavy. The EasySwitch is designed to handle the toughest of industrial cleanup jobs with ease. It rests upon any 55 gallon drum. With EXAIR’s patent pending design, the EasySwitch vacuum uses a standard or HEPA certified filter when vacuuming dry material. The fast and simple conversion to vacuuming liquids is done by releasing one latch and simply removing the filter element. The EasySwitch vacuum creates a powerful vacuum (at a quiet 79 decibels) without the need for electricity. Because the vacuum generator has no moving parts and uses no electricity, there is little concern for failed parts, motor failure or working with liquids associated with electric industrial vacuums. (drum not included, see Premium version if you need a drum)

How the EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac Works |
|
 |
|
|
The EasySwitch vacuum utilizes a filter hatch, secured by one simple latch, for easy installation and replacement of filters. It does not require any additional springs, clips or closures. A rubber handle (1) is connected to the filter hatch (2). Unlatching the handle from the drum lid will allow the hatch to be raised. When the hatch is raised, the filter (3) can be installed or uninstalled easily. The filter simply lifts out of the filter hatch hole, and be can reinstalled by placing the filter on top of edge gasket (4) on the filter hatch hole. For operation, close the latch and secure the rubber handle (1). When the filter is installed, the vacuum will work with dry media; when it is uninstalled, it will work with liquids. When the drum is filled with liquid the vacuum is automatically turned off by a float shutoff. |
