Vacuum plumbing systems offer substantial benefits to food service facilities, including grocery stores, warehouse clubs, convenience stores and delicatessens. For these facilities, vacuum plumbing systems offer flexibility in installation and ability to change the layout of fixtures; water and cost savings; and a cleaner and more sanitary environment.
Benefits
Flexibility Benefits
- Completely adaptable to last minute merchandising changes and can easily accommodate seasonal display re-locations, even after the store opens.
Water and Cost Saving Benefits
- Requires just one-half gallon of water per flush, reducing the water required to run store restrooms.
- Reduces water usage from store restrooms can help save water and sewage costs.
Construction and Renovation Benefits:
- Saves construction costs by allowing new construction projects to be completed faster.
- Eliminates the need for under slab gravity drainage in both the sales and prep areas.
- Allows for easy conversion of existing buildings with limited drainage.
- Eliminates trenching, making store remodel activities faster, safer, and more sanitary.
Health Benefits
- Creates a cleaner environment and reduces health hazards associated with gravity drains and fixtures.

How is AcornVac training?
What are the positives of an AcornVac system?
When I started off my career with Target I would work a lot with the gravity blackwater. And as I went to my next position where they had vacuum, it was just a night and day difference between how easy it was to make sure that the store was up and running for the guests and the team members.
What Is The One Word that Describes AcornVac?
Is it challenging to learn vacuum plumbing?
When I made requests for different things that were not necessarily standard within their product line, they were ready willing and able to come back with the product modifications or the right product to make it work.
