Central vacuum systems are overpriced, is there a way to convert a shop vac to a central vac?
Question: Like put it in a central closet or garage, and run hoses through the walls, and have it so it can be activated from the point of use (turned on). How would you wire it for that? My shop vac is SO powerful, I could build a stand for it up off the ground, and run hoses somehow.
Answer: You would need a way to have covers/plugs for all the unused hose ends and a way to remotely turn on the vacuum unit; you might be able to do it with a replacement radio control set for a garage door opener (they sell the transmitter and reciever/ relay unit together as a kit).
