How does one turn on or off the vacuum using this hose? Does it turn on on insertion? (The one I have has a switch at the base of the metal pipe).

This hose has a contact ring around the end you put into the wall fitting. The contact ring makes contact with two pointers that start the vacuum

It depends on how your vac is wired. It's designed to turn on upon insertion.

The hose has a metal ring around each end. Upon insertion the ring makes contact with 2 buttons inside the central vacuum wall outlet completing a circuit and turning on the central vacuum.

In the box you will find the base which holds the steaming mechanism and its hose and a variety of attachments. Also, the cloth, washable "pockets," to slip on the attachments are enclosed. On my steamer, there is no "on-off" switch, so I plug in my steamer to my own electric strip so I can flip the steamer on and off. When you go to the website, you can find more details about the attachments in the box, if my response doesn't answer your inquiry.

This hose does not attach to the current hose on the vac. You have to remove the shorter hose and then attach the longer one. It is a heavier hose and noticeably so when doing regular floor vacuuming. So you'll probably only want to attach it when you need a longer reach. Hope this helps.

The only way is to rap a ground wire around the hose and ground it at the vacume. It is caused by static charge from the dust particles moving through the plastic hose.

In order to use the hose for attachments, you must push a button to "unlock" it from the base of the vacuum. I found this to be a pain. Personally, I like a hose that I can just lift out and use without any extra steps.

This hose is not the one in the picture. the one you get has the sure lock connector to the vacuum cleaner if your vacuum cleaner uses the sure lock system it may work. what is pictured is the friction connector system. (just pushes in not having a locking button)

First a bit of background -- I am an electrical engineer by training and practice. The switch is rated at 3 amp/125 volt, 1/2 H.P.. If your vacuum is less than this, you are good to go. If it is not, you need to find a bigger switch. If you are not sure, let me know what model vacuum you have and I can probably figure it out.

The on/off switch is located on the rear of the canister. Easily turned on by foot or hand.The power head has a switch on the held handle for easy access to turn on suction.

The cord comes out of the top by on/off switch and wraps around a piece that is on back side of vacuum in picture. That piece has holes in it for some of the attachments. hope this helps,

You have to hold the switch. I think this is the 'perfect' vacuum except it needs a way to lock it on.

If you have the "Automatic" button selected then that would happen. Otherwise press the "Auto" button again to put it in manual and then select the Plus/Minus suction controls to the setting you desire. Mine however only changes the suction power when I use the hose, when in "Auto", but never while using the brush bar. Really doesn't sound like you have a problem.

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

I'm thinking I didn't understand/answer the question correctly. The unit itself doesn't have a vacuum sensor switch...it has a port on the housing that connects via tube to a switch that is mounted on the side wall of the furnace. Sorry about that. If you need an integrated switch-sensor then this probably isn't for you. If you need a standalone switch-sensor I did a search on Amazon for "ruud vacuum air pressure switch" and found one hit.

Hose hooks into where the vacuum goes. This gives u control of where to vacuum.

I'm sorry to say--that it does NOT turn off. To me, that is a problem that Eureka needs to address. If it would be a feature that will create a problem, just lay the unit down to raise the brushes.

Yes...and No. The hose power ON/OFF switch does NOT work, as the electrical connections in the Vacuflo wall outlet do not match the Cen-Tec connection. However, in use, I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not An Issue. On the upside, the hose itself stays securely in the outlet, is lightweight, very kink-resistant and quite reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to repeat the purchase.

It went on and then I couldn't get it off . Which needs to happen it you want to reverse the suction. It did finally come off and had to be rewired to get it to work again. It is working fine and saved me having to buy a new hose.
