All of our bottom emptying power units utilize a permanent cloth filter that has a weighted center, not to be mistaken for trapped dirt. The purpose of the center weight is to make the filter drop down and release some debris when not in use. And just to note, the Flo-Master C650 is no longer produced but is very similar to the Air Master A650t.
The Air Master Central Vacuum units do not have a utility valve on the tank, but using the left or right intake, one can be easily put in place using an elbow and nesting valve. The valve fits into the elbow and can be glued. Just to note, the Flo-Master C650 is no longer produced but is very similar to the Air Master A650t.
This is an excellent question. Many times the waterlift is so strong on a central vacuum it makes vacuuming a plush carpet difficult. There are a few electric power heads on the market that have a tall height adjustment, such as the Ace. The CT23 Response actually lets air into the vacuum when it starts to seal to the carpet. Take a look at all our Carpet Vacuum Heads. Regarding your other motor questions. The number of layers of fans within the motor is the number of stages. Typically the more stages the more water lift and less CFM. Bypass and thru flow refers to how the motor is cooled. Bypass has a cooling fan on the opposite side of the motor's fan stages, whereas a thru flow allows the incoming air to flow right through the entire motor to cool it. In a bypass the incoming air is exhausted out the side of the motor through a horn or small holes.

Take a few minutes to narrow down the issue using the Troubleshooting Central Vacuum Parts Guide. If the problem is the circuit board or relay we suggest replacing both with the Circuit Board for Single Motor Central Vacuums. It is too costly to replace the single relay because you have to also by the compatible transformer, and mounting these larger replacements is not straightforward.
