I have a question if you do not mind answering, being the stupid 16 year old i am, i sucked up a ziploc plastic bag into my family's Dirt Devil Central Vaccum pipes. We tried reverse suctioning it with our shop vac but it wont seem to budge. We also checked all other entracned to the pipes and we had the correct one. Any tips on how we could fix it?

First, we'd like to congratulate you on your honesty. At 16, you're certainly in for many future blunders but seeing the error in your ways is half the battle. Speaking of which, you may find the user name "SirMcBongwater" quite the hindrance. Second, using reverse suction was your best chance at getting the bag loose. Did you use a catalyst to pull through the pipes? A popular trick is to place a light, round object (a ping-pong ball works well) into the pipes in hopes that it dislodges the object and pushes it along as you suction it through the system with the shop vac. It's a gamble because, if the bag is really stubborn, you may end up getting the ball stuck as well. However, your next step is to locate the clog and correct it within the pipes, so you may have to get in there anyway. Best of luck.

Central Vacuum Stores You are welcome for the honesty, and yes. I should probaly change my username since im getting older, it was funny when i was 14 and stuff. But yes, we found a pingpong ball and put it through the vaccum entracne way and forgot it was so clogged that it made it so that the suction was very mild. We eventually tried a tug-o-war type suction where we manually started our Dirt devil and shop vac and it worked. Thank you for the tips and though! Have a good day and summer!!
