Increase the efficiency of your heating system
When water is heated in a water heater or with a tank-less water heater,
hard water always leads to deposits on the heating elements. This layer
inevitably causes a great reduction in the capability of the heat to
transfer. A scale deposit of only 2mm (~0.078 inches) can lead to an
energy loss of more than 15%. The increase in heating time leads to a
tremendous rise in your power consumption. |

Protection for your solar water heating
The energy savings you took into consideration when purchasing a solar
water heater may be drastically reduced due to scale deposits. Here, a
scale layer of only 1 mm (~0.04 inches) will result in a decrease of
efficiency of up to 40%. With Vulcan you save on energy, cleaning and
repairs. This loss has to be compensated with regular fossil fuels or
electric power and much of the savings you were planning to achieve
will be obsolete. |

Savings in installation costs
Vulcan saves you installation costs. Most water treatments need to be
built in the piping system and therefore require a professional plumber
to do the installation. Vulcan is installed without any tools, within
only a few minutes by yourself. You save money as you do not need to
hire anyone. |

Throw out those expensive water softeners
Running a water softener is a costly measure. Large amounts of salt are
needed to operate the system. On average, a homeowner faces expenses of
100-200$ per year in salt alone. Needless to say, nobody likes carrying
around bags of salt. Furthermore, 30-80 gallons (115-300l) of water
are wasted each time the softener granule has to be washed. Malfunctions
and repairs are likely with a built-in system. These can easily add up
to hundreds of dollars in repair costs. Possible annual savings: $ US 330 (~ 250€)
Comparison The
purchase and installation of a water softener alone would cost at least
1000 USD to buy and another 50-120 USD for the installation by a
plumber. Add annual operating costs and maintenance on top. |

Increase the value of your home
Installing an eco-friendly maintenance-free water treatment that
conditions all the water running in your home will increase the value of
the house for you, your children or for the potential buyer in case you
want to put it on the market. |
