I just had this installed but there is little suction. My electrician tells me this is supposed to work like this. Is this true?

I'm not sure about the level of suction but the exhaust is very quiet so it almost sounds like nothing is happening. This is one of the nicest features that we like about it. We have had it for over 1 year and have been very pleased with its performance. It clears up the mirrors in our bathroom very quickly even when taking a hot shower and it heats up the bathroom quickly & very well in the winter. We have loved it. Hope that helps.

The exhaust fan pulls 110 cm (cubic feet per min) which is better than most fans on the market. It is very quiet. It needs to be properly ducted. Perhaps you are talking about the heater fan which blows air towards you which is heated. MM

The inlet is large so you might not feel any suction. But it should definitely be sucking air. Try putting some steam by it, and serif it pulls the steamy air out.

The suction is not as strong. For that reason I could not give it five stars.

I'm not a professional. I don't understand the question. You do not want more suction than this machine has - I've never used it higher than 60%.

its supposed to slop downwards towards you. just make sure the vents can suck in the air from the thermaltake

Not much help, I installed with some unconventional items fronm the local hardware store. My advice would to get in contact with a place that handles central vacs.

To be honest with you I have not even installed mine yet but as I as long as it went into just the stand by position and not the off position all the inlets should still work. That is what the devise is designed for ,and that's how it saves electricity.

hi, mine was installed by electrician, works perfectly, a balancing kit might help your situation, thanks.

To Carol J. Moore. I noticed the first time I used mine that if the dirty water intake part is not put on perfectly, the machine will not suck out the water. I, too, thought the machine had quit working but fiddle with the fit, make sure it clips own low and tight on the front so you will get a good suction. It is easy once out get the hang of it, but csn be confusing.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

You may have an energy efficient pump motor that operates on a lower RPM to save on your electric bill. If this is the case you need to adjust the program to allow the unit to work at a higher RPM for the time you want the cleaner to work. Who ever installed the pump motor should be able to adjust the RPM to the proper speed to allow for the right amount of suction required by the GW9500.

There might be an air block in your plumbing system.Consult a plumber a get it fixed to get good suction.

I bought it for my grandchild so it's not in front of me to look at. From what I can remember you may be missing a part or something may be wrong. Try to google the vacuum and see if you can find a picture that shows that part of it.

The two I have are very quiet. Get a plumber, maybe you have a air vacuum issue.

Hi I'm Moor concerned That you may have a loss of pressure for a effective cleaning due to lower pressures of electric models. I use a generic gas 3100 psi. and I due notice a bit of a drop in pressure. the wand it self for me is awesome. I'm a painter and power wash every job before painting, no moor ladders for those two story houses.

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

It does have a suction side and I am not sure about the pressure. I do not have a gauge on the outlet.

If you are using a regular shop vacuum, you have too much suction. It's best to use a vac with adjustable power (Bosch, festool, fein, et al) and turn it all the way down. Barring that, you could try drilling holes in the tool end of vac hose until the suction is gentler.
