What is “Hidden Cost". Most think it is the filters, motors, and all other replacement parts, but they would be wrong, those are "cost of use". Your hidden cost is what you pay unknowingly, like the cost of labor each time you or your employee must stop working to unclog, clean or change filters. Each time you must stop to maintenance the vacuum is a hidden cost you pay in labor, that over time can add up to thousands of dollars a year. If you are working under the EPA RRP rules, your hidden cost are even greater, as each time you go to maintenance a vacuum while on the job, you are risking dust cycling up and out into the air, endangering you and your employees health, and that may be a hidden cost no one company can bare?
These "Hidden Cost" generate and contribute to the "cost of use". The more you maintenance a machine, the more likelihood the filters, motors, and all other parts will break down and need replaced. With our patented Pulse-Bac® Technology, hidden cost is reduced by 99%. We can't guarantee you will have as great of a reduction in "cost of use" but it is safe to assume and our products performance bares this out; that cost too will drop significantly.
To give you an idea of just how these hidden costs can add up, just do the math. Two of the leading vacuum manufactures from Europe use manual shakers to unclog filters. That is better than a machine that has no self-cleaning technology or those that use "wap technology" right? Surely something is better than nothing? You would think so but that is not the facts. If you read the manual they recommended you stop every 15 minutes or so to shake the filters clean or engage the cleaning system. Doesn't sound all that bad, just as long as you’re not the one paying the salary of that worker.
Lets go forward with this and be somewhat liberal with their recommendations and say you only stop three times during each hour of use, and lets say that each time a worker stops to unclog filters he only stops for two minutes, no smoking, no going to the bathroom or getting a drink, just a quick stop to unclog the filters and back to work. In a perfect world, that employee will only spend 48 minutes in a 8 hour day being paid to stop working and unclog or clean filters, or just two hours a week. If you pay that employee $12 an hour, you will have spent $24 dollars that week in "hidden coast", doesn’t seem that much, but that averages out to $1152 a year. So what ever you spent on a vacuum, add that to the coast and every year there after you use it, but remember that cost does not include replacement filters, parts and the time spent to do the maintenance. If your vacuum equipment has no manual or automatic cleaning ability, your "hidden cost" are much higher.
