We have a central vac and the port you put the hose into in the basment is broken. I connected the wires and covered it so the rest of the ports work but I would like to fix it and there was no literature on this perticular option. We also need bags. The bag compartment is mabye 8 inches square with a small tube inside that goes into the bag. Does Home Depo or LowesSell these or where might I try localy?
