Silent Master Replacements & Upgrades Q&A

As the manufacturer of SilentMaster we look forward to helping you. Yes there is a bag, support bag, and secondary filter that can be changed. You can find them here https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=720HF-5,711,740. You can view the owner's manual here https://builtinvacuum.com/manual.html

SilentMaster is an excellent replacement for Beam vacuums. For your size home we recommend the SilentMaster S5 if you have a 240 volt plug or large 30 amp plug. If not then the S44 is a great replacement.

Thank you for writing in Jennifer. After all these years your vacuum is still working but the tank is rusting, right? It has a life-time warranty that we'd like to honor for you. Let's begin the process with some photos or a return authorization. Please give us a call and we'd be glad to help you.

The door of the inlet is attached by the manufacturer and is not sold seperately. Replacing the inlet is the only option if broken.

Hi, the Mini Electric is a great tool but it does require any 110 volt electrified hose (hoses with a 2-pin connection at the hose handle). If buying an electric hose is too expensive (around $200), we suggest the air powered RugRat. Please call us for more help.

Hi Susan, congratulations on the home and central vac! We made this vacuum here in California. The paper bag is put over a cloth bag and there will be one to three filters at the bottom of the unit. That is all that is needed for the unit. We have a ton of accessories and great enhancements for you. Be sure you have a power nozzle that has an electric cord coming out the back. If not you are really missing out and need one for the best carpet cleaning available. Here are the filtration supplies https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=720HF-5,740,711&title=Bags+and+filters+for+Silent+Master. You can find tons of helpful accessories and electric vacuum kits on our site as well.

The Silent Master has a switch on the back right bottom side. Plug any of the garage kits into the valve at the top front of the can and then toggle the vacuum unit on. Hope that helps and here are the Garage Kits that you can use with your system.

Silent Master is a great choice, but our Air Master Models fit directly in place of any Beam model and are a great choice for all bottom emptying power units.

Upgrading the main power unit in the garage or basement: Use the same electrical wall socket for power and also plug the existing low voltage wire into the SilentMaster. Upgrading the hose and power nozzle: The Stealth Kit plugs directly into all Beam wall inlets. The kit comes with either a direct connect 110 pin hose or a pigtail corded 110 volt version (to plug into a nearby electrical wall outlet).

Congratulations on the new home and owning a SilentMaster. You bought the correct bags, the #721H-5 (now replaced by 720HF-5). Here are some resources for you: Silent Master Manual, accessories, replacement parts and upgrades, replacement lid gasket. If you need anything else please let us know. The system is really easy to take care of - just replace the bag!

Starting off with the Stealth Kit is a great way to go and less expensive than replacing a functioning vacuum. When the Beam dies consider the Silent Master for its filtration, quietness, power, and quality.

Hello, thank you for considering the SilentMaster Central Vacuum! Please call us for list prices on vacuum units. We'd rather not put that here, plus the prices may change but this posting will not so we have to be general. Nevertheless we will answer your questions. You have the choice of voltage, we make the unit in both. For that size home we recommend the model S4 or S2, but lean towards the S4 for it powerful suction over super high air movement. When it comes the kit you need, if you have any carpeting (especially with pets), the best solution is the electric powered kits, and the best one is the Stealth Kit. It sells for around $550 and includes what you need for the items to be cleaned in your home. We do make some specialty items but you have to get these right away. The car, or garage, kit comes in original and ultimate and cost from around $100 to $200.

There will be no major problems replacing any central vacuum with a Silent Master. You will hang the SilentvMaster on its own bracket, use the existing wire and use the pipe (and you may have to add to or take away pipe for it to fit).
