Star Central Vacuum Q&A

Looking for bags for Star Power Systems Model #99026 Ser# 64027.

Do you know how to get change the bag on the Optima by power star central vac. I can get the clips unlatched but can not get the bottom canister off. Also what is the best attachment to use on tile floors.

Hi, I have a Power Star #99175. It runs for a while then trips breaker on unit. Has good vacuum, no plugged lines. I crossed switch at unit and watched it run. The motor doesn't get hot or smell overheated, and there is very little blue flash from the brush assemblies. I pulled them out and there is lots of length left on the brushes tho they were hot when I took them out but not discolored. Neither the reset switch nor other transformer get hot. Unit is 10 years old but hasn't been used much because cleaning service uses their own vacs. Any ideas? If brushes are bad, do you sell just the brushes? Thanks.. Paul in Wisconsin

The unit will not shut off when I remove the hose. How can I correct it. Jack, Hillsborough, NJ

I have the 99026 model and without owners manual don't know how to check/change filters. thanks for any help.

Our optima plus and utopia models have blinking lights. Can you tell me what they mean? How do you reset them?

The built in vaccum is a Brute, at least 20 years old. The diameter of the canister is 14 inches and is 27 inches high. We have not been able to find replacement filters here in Colorado Springs, CO Thanks, Pat

I HAVE A STAR MODEL 99026 AND I'M IN NEED OF A RELAY DOES ANYONE HAVE A PARTS BREAKDOWN OR KNOW OF ANOTHER RELAY I CAN USE

Another question for you. I checked my unit Brute Power System Model KB12880 in the condo I am purchasing and cannot figure out how to clean the canister. The lid does not come off and it did not look like we could take the bottom off. You mentioned I should purchase filter bags but I have no idea how I would open the unit to put them in. There seems to be a nozzle hole in the unit on the side towards the top. I am not sure what that is for.

Hello: I am purchasing a home that has the Brute Power System Model KB12880. There are not accessories for it. I am assuming I need bags and would like suggestions on the unit that might work best for me. The house has hard wood floors and ceramic tile. I will also have area rugs. The house is about 20 years old and the current owner never used the unit. Am I going to need to get it serviced? It is working. If yes...how do I find someone in my area? Thank you Leslee, Basking Ridge, NJ

I have a Star Power System Central Vacuum Model # 99225. Where do I buy replacement bags for this system.

I need a new hose, but perhaps should look at a new power kit replacement. I want to see what is available. Susan

Do you have a troubleshooter link that I can check to find out why by Brute 12334 won't reset or work. I've check electric power and breakers, they are OK

I have a Star central vacuum system model A4. I need to order replacement bags but am having trouble locating what I need. The bag I will be replacing has a number (TDSAC20) on and is blue. Can you help me locate the bags I need. Thank you Janet,Dade City,FL

Just bought this house with a STAR Model 99026 and two hoses. Looking for accessories for tile - wood floor and filter bags. The existing one is cloth and seems pretty skanky

My customer has a Optima Star Model 99191 with a 4 Gallon Capacity. The bag fits on a #726 Sealed Bag Adaptor. The installer left an 8 Gallon bag,which is way too large for this unit. Can you recommend a better fitting bag for this application? Thanks, Chuck Ritchie

I have a central which is no longer manufactured. The replacement bag for this system that I see advertised on various web sites does not appear to be the one that willfit my system. The one that I see advertised has the top of the bag open so vacuum refuse just falls into it. This type of bag will not work in my system because I have an intake pipe approximately 8" down the front side of the tank. The top of my tank is just a flat (with a lip) removable cover. The replacement bags I have tried so far just end up splitting and making a mess (Nutone which doesn't fit very well). Can you help me out? Mark Acushnet, MA.

I have Star Power #99226 and I need to know what model number to replace the cloth filtration bag. Thanks RMyers
