EquineVac installation couldn't get much easier. Just four screws are needed to securely mount your EquineVac to the wall.


What is the advantage of an EquineVac?

Our patented design makes EquineVac the most compact, yet powerful horse grooming vacuum cleaner on the market. This model includes a full complement of accessory tools, a 40-foot stretch hose and a convenient hose hanger when not in use. Unlike other hoses, this one has the unique property of retracting to a mere 8-feet. Everything is designed to be compact, yet without compromise to performance and quality.


How powerful is the vacuum cleaner?

It has a 12 amp motor capable of a 100” water-lift. This compares with any top-quality upright or canister vacuum..


How much dust does the bag hold?

8 pounds or 1 gallon, depending on the type of debris. The patented vacuum chamber allows the bag to fill completely without collapsing, thereby utilizing the entire bag.


What type of filtration does EquineVac have?

EquineVac comes standard with a HEPA-type filtration system. No other utility vacuum cleaner offers this high a standard of filtration.


If I have a surface mounted unit, can I use it in other places?

Yes, it is the only utility vacuum that can also be portable. Now you can move your EquineVac between the Tack Room, garage, home, RV, boat or cottage.


Would I need any special tools to install my EquineVac?

Nothing more than basic tools found in almost any household can be used.


What is the warranty?

All EquineVacs come with an unprecedented six year warranty, and extended warranties are available.


Can I vacuum up water?

No. EquineVac’s are not designed to perform as a wet/dry vacuum.


Do I have to install it vertically?

No, EquineVac is the most versatile vacuum cleaner you’ll ever own. It can be mounted horizontally or on its side as well as vertically.


Where does the air discharge?

The air discharges from the bottom of the unit. With EquineVac’s high filtration system you can be assured that dirt will not be returned into your room. Always check the filtration rating on ANY vacuum cleaner you purchase!


I like a standard central vacuum hose. Why do you sell the stretch hose?

Each hose has its own merits. Standard central vacuum hose is lighter weight but it is inconvenient to store. With the stretch hose, it is quick to connect, making it ideal for high traffic areas and quick clean ups, and it shrinks to just 8’, making it very easy to store.


How does your vacuum cleaner compare with a standard upright or canister?

EquineVac units have more suction power than most of the standard vacuums in retail stores.


My vacuum cleaner stopped running. What should I do?

The most common cause is a clogged hose or floor tool, so check that first. The motor is protected so it cannot burn up, and will reset automatically in about an hour.
