Car Care System Options & Accessories

When you select a Spencer car care central vacuum system for your operation, we’ll help you round out that system with auxiliary equipment such as valves, gauges, couplings, metallic tubing lines, Energy Watcher ™ controls, tool hangers and other components. A Spencer representative who specializes in this field will work with you, learn your needs and develop a system with all the right features.

Professional Spencer assistance is also available during installation and startup, and whenever you need it during operation. To review the Spencer optional equipment and some typical setups, get a copy of Spencer Car Care Vacuum Systems  or click here to request assistance.
 
Valuable Car Care System Options
Gasoline Island Location
The vacuum unit can be installed on a gasoline island by using an explosion-proof motor, grounded hose, grounded filter bags and a metallic tubing system, all available from Spencer.
 
Island Adapter Kit
Special 90° elbow fits the primary inlet on the separator and “turns the corner” tightly to allow mounting of the vacuum unit on 42" wide island without extending over sides.
 
WaterTrap Liquid Collector
 
WaterTrap® Liquid Collector
This sits on top of a 30-gal. or 55-gal. drum to collect shampoo suds, winter slush and liquid residues before they can make a muddy mess or harden into “concrete” in the dry vacuum system.
 
Island Knockout Separator
Island Knockout Separator intercepts heavy car cleaning trash on gasoline island, connected by Spencer tubing to CarVac central unit at rear.
 
Island Knockout Separator
This short centrifugal separator collects debris near the pickup point, avoids abrasion and possible blockage of vacuum tubing caused by conveying debris back to the main dirt separator.

Side-Saddle™ CarVac with 90° Access

This double-barreled design has two vacuum producers “over and under” for fail-safe operation. One unit operates at a time; the other remains on standby until needed.
 
Engineering Modifications

Energy Watcher™, Electrical Starters and Control Panels
The Spencer Energy Watcher reduces energy costs by controlling your vacuum system's motor speed based on operator use.  When the Energy Watcher is used with a Spencer central vacuum system it will automatically reduce the vacuum producer's speed during slow periods, thus reducing power consumption.  When vacuum operators come back-on-line, the system will automatically ramp up again.  Energy Watcher is a cost effective way to manage your energy use and save on your utility costs.
 
Spencer also has complete capabilities for other electrical components, from a simple motor starter up to a PLC or microprocessor-controlled system with operator interfaces. Control panels and starters are supplied prewired and ready for hookup to your electrical system. UL/CUL Listed units available.
