New Central Vacuum Products from PetVac

PetVac Group LLC -- maker of the well-known ‘PetVac’ vacuum attachment -- announces two new products for central vacuums.

Background
PetVac has been sold on the Web and in direct response TV ads around the world. PetVac is an interceptor and pet grooming system that attaches to any vacuum, and using the vacuum’s suction, picks up water and other moisture, including pet accidents and pet stains. PetVac includes an interceptor container, a long hose, and a pet grooming brush. The long hose allows pet owners to dry and groom pets away from the sight and sound of the vacuum that would otherwise frighten them. Central vacuum industry leaders suggested PetVac Group LLC put a PetVac kit together just for central vacuums.

Two new products for Central Vacuums
Garage Kit Plus is a premium set of garage tools that allows the central vacuum owner to pick up any moisture or mess volumes. It includes a 30-foot hose and a PetVac-style reservoir with handle, a transparent cleaning nozzle for vacuuming moisture, a drain de-blocking rubber, plus a soft dusting brush, crevice nozzle, hose hanger, a 6-foot hose to connect the receptacle to the owner’s vacuum suction, plus other fittings and attachments.

The receptacle captures moisture and large dirt volumes before they can enter the central vacuum piping.

A quick survey found that most central vac customers -- already prepared to pay $40-69 for a garage kit -- would welcome the option to also pick up water, unclog sinks (with the super drain unclogging tool), and clean up cold fireplace ashes (with the super dust bags) for very little extra money. Garage Kit’s MSRP is $79, and it comes in about the same size box as a standard 30’ garage kit.

Garage Kit Plus (GKP) kit is made to use the 30’ hose (and hose hanger) normally with or without the interceptor collector. So they can do their dry vacuuming as a standard 30’ hose or use it with the collector on liquid when needed (without switching or screwing on different hose cuff ends). All the tools are stored inside the collection container when not in use.

Even if the central vacuum customer doesn’t have a garage, this GKP will give them the ability to use the power of their central vac to wet clean spills or stains, unclog sinks and drains, and clean up cold fireplace ashes (with the super dust bags).

Garage Kit Plus is ideal for any central vacuum owner or new purchaser. In addition, pet owners will also want the Garage Kit Plus Pet Accessories.

Garage Kit Plus Pet Accessory Kit will enable people to groom their pets with salon-grade grooming tools, and eliminate the hair, mess, and allergens associated with pet grooming. The key accessory is the ShedEliminator™ , which attaches to suction, and helps remove hair from the pet before it can shed. The hair collects in the Garage Kit receptacle, and is stopped and held so it does not enter the central vacuum system. The Pet Accessory kit also includes PetVac’s original Groowning brush for both wet and dry use, a vacuum lint/hair brush, a large super dust bag, and a 21 grooming tips manual.

The coolest tool in this kit is the “Shed Eliminator” professional suction de-shedding brush. If used regularly it will cut pet shedding in the home by up to 95 percent by taking off loose unwanted undercoat hair in advance, before the pet sheds it all around the home.

Both garage kit hoses have a one of a kind suction relief valve right on the short ring cuff ends (30’ feet away from the pet), this greatly reduces suction on strong central vac’s down to almost nothing, in order to safely groom pets, and makes sure any suction/ whistling noises are 30’ away from the pet… Pets love the feeling and since they don’t see or hear the vacuum they’re not scared.

The Garage Kit Plus and PetVac Upsell kit will be shown in this years 2009 VDTA Convention in Las Vegas along with the Original PetVac, and HoseWizard in Booth 763 by PetVac Group LLC.

Jack Jagpal of Canada will be the exclusive Canadian Representative and will be in the booth all three days. In advance, contact 1-206-225-6099 or e-mail: info@aquajumbo.com.
