The benefits - in Commercial and
Industrial Use
Facility Management
Managing a building, hotel or business demands constant observation of all technical equipment, sanitary stations, outdoor areas, etc. Vulcan helps to improve manageability, sustainability and profitability in many areas. Vulcan helps water-fed appliances to reach their maximum life expectancy and keeps their maintenance to a minimum.

The piping system
|
|
|
Reduction of scale deposits in the piping system
Vulcan takes away the adhesive power of scale particles so that scale
is simply washed away with your water as a fine powder. New
scale-formation is stopped.
Vulcan dismantles already existing deposits
Vulcan carefully dissolves already existing deposits in the piping
system. The scale build-up process is reversed and the pipes gradually
become clean again. This take-out process will not block up your pipes
or drain because the treated crystals are microscopic in size and wash
away in the water.
Corrosion protection
Metal pipes often suffer from pitting corrosion. The electric Vulcan
impulses generate a metal-carbonate protective layer that prevents
pitting corrosion.
Increased water pressure
Vulcan sanitizes the pipes from scale deposits and can even restore a
pipe's full diameter. Water can flow freely again and you regain normal
water pressure. |
|
|
|
|
|
Vulcan minimizes rust In
most cases whenever there are scale deposits you will find rust shortly
thereafter. The rust typically imbeds itself n the scale deposits.
Because rust oxides are red, the scale deposits in metal pipes then
often appear red in color. too. When the Vulcan-treatment reduces scale,
it also takes away rust with it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Vulcan minimizes bacterial growth in pipes
Thick scale deposits with their uneven surfaces are the perfect
breeding ground for bacteria. Once the scale is gone, there are no more
nesting areas where bacteria can grow. |

Technical appliances

|
Water heaters Vulcan
controls scale build-up in tankless water heaters permanently and
reduces maintenance as heat exchangers get fewer deposits. Your water
heater will work much more efficiently once again, and you can extend
the time to your next service maintenance. Typically, the water heating
bills will be substantially reduced. |
|
|
|
|
|
Heating systems regain full performance When
water is heated in a hot water tank or with a tank-less water heater
the hard water always leads to thick deposits on the heating elements.
This layer inevitably causes a great reduction in the capability of the
heat to transfer. With Vulcan, deposits are minimized and your heating
performs at a much higher capacity again. |

|
Solar water heating Vulcan
prevents scale build-up in the system. It keeps heat exchangers and
distributor pipes clean. Furthermore, Vulcan reduces scale build-up in
collectors, it protects hot water tanks and vacuum tubes, and keeps the
system from over-heating. There is no more need to circulate acids. Application Flyer |

Cooling towers Vulcan
significantly reduces scale deposits. Bleed water is no longer toxic
and bacterial contamination is minimized. With Vulcan, the cooling tower
can be operated at higher cycles of scale concentration which minimizes
water usage. Application Flyer |

In your hotel and restaurant

Kitchens and kitchen appliances
|
|
|
Dishwashers Dishwashers
operate with less detergent and less additives. The use of dishwasher
detergent can be reduced by up to 25%. Typical spotting on dishware is
reduced or no longer apparent.
Reverse osmosis filters Reverse
osmosis filters for your tap drinking water last longer. Water filters
and RO-membranes will work more efficiently and the permeate is easier
to handle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grease Traps Vulcan
improves the handling of grease separators in two ways: The grease that
is collected on top forms less clusters and is more homogeneous which
makes it easier to pump it into an external tank. The Vulcan-treatment
also prevents the remaining water from scaling in the tank; pipes,
valves and pumps stay cleaner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Laundry and washing machines Cleaning
is more effective as Vulcan-treated water lathers noticeably more. The
same amount of detergent will give you better cleaning results. You can
often reduce the amount of washing detergents in your daily use or stay
away from very aggressive agents. Furthermore, Vulcan extends the life
of the machine's heating element. |

Cleaner bathrooms Shinier,
smoother surfaces in the bathroom again on baths, sinks, fixtures,
shower heads, etc. You will quickly notice that scale is still visible
but acts like a fine ‘dust’ which can be removed easily with a damp
cloth. Notably less cleaning agents are needed and the use of harsh
detergents can now be avoided. This saves many hours when cleaning the
rooms. |

Gardening Garden
irrigation with sprinklers becomes more reliable as the nozzles stay
free of scale longer. Vulcan-treated water can be absorbed and processed
better by plants. As there are less scale spots on the leaves your
plants take up water and rain water better and look healthier. |

Health issues
|
|
|
Mineral rich drinking water Vulcan
does not interfere with the natural composition of drinking water.
Important minerals remain in the water for a healthy diet. Especially
young children and elderly people benefit from the healthy calcium and
magnesium content that naturally is found in tap water. |
|
|
|
|
|
Water tastes and smells better and gives food and beverages its natural flavor |
|
|
Vulcan
keeps the natural taste of water as it does not change its chemical
composition. This gives you the best tasting water possible. Vulcan
cleans the piping system once again and therefore cleans it from rust
particles. Rust is gone and can no longer add any unwanted flavor any
more. |

Spas, swimming pools and jacuzzis
Swimming pools:
Vulcan makes pool cleaning much easier: scale on the water line is looser and easier to wipe off. Pool covers and tiles on the floor or walls will show less hard scale stains. Vulcan reduces deposits in the pipes and valves. The sensitive circulation pumps last longer, sand filter need less changing and you can cut down on chlorine tablets. Application Flyer
Jacuzzis:
The combination of water, circulating air and pressure in a hot tub tremendously enhances scale build-up. Vulcan makes the cleaning of the tub easier. Vulcan reduces deposits in the pipes and valves. Covers and and tiles on the floor or walls will show less hard scale stains. Application Flyer
Spa Treatment Areas & Wellness
Showerheads stay clean longer. Soap and detergent use can be cut back by up to 25%. The water will feel as if it is "softer" (due to a decrease in water surface tension). Generally, soap will lather up more. Skin will feel smoother and hair will be much more manageable because the scale particles no longer makes it so frizzy. Application Flyer
