Vulcan Residential Line
The Vulcan Residential Line units have been designed to reduce scale in piping systems in private homes. These units can easily be installed within a few minutes.
The Residential Line is designed for small pipe diameters from 1½"to 2".
Each Vulcan is programmable allowing for individual adjustment depending on pipe material and pipe diameter.
Benefits
Increased water pressure
Vulcan sanitizes the pipes from scale deposits and can even restore a pipe's full diameter. Water can flow freely again resulting in normal water pressure.
Vulcan minimizes rust
In most cases whenever there are scale deposits you will find rust shortly thereafter. The rust typically embeds itself in the scale deposits. Because rust oxides are red, the scale deposits in the metal pipes then often appear red in color. When the Vulcan treatment reduces the scale, it also takes the rust away with it.
Vulcan minimizes bacterial growth in pipes
Thick scale deposits with their uneven surfaces are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Where there is no scale, bacteria cannot flourish.
Heating
Water Heaters
Vulcan permanently controls scale build-up in tankless water heaters and reduces constant maintenance as heat exchangers get minimal deposits. Your water heater will generate and maintain heat more efficiently and maintenance intervals can be extended.
Restore full performance to heating systems
When water is heated in a hot water tank, hard water leads to thick deposits on the heating elements. Even a thin layer causes a significant reduction in the heat transfer within the tank to heat the water. With Vulcan, deposits are minimized and water heating requires significantly less energy resulting in a lower energy cost.
Solar water heating
Vulcan prevents scale build-up in the system. It keeps heat exchangers and distributor pipes clean and efficient. Vulcan reduces scale build up in collectors, protects hot water tanks and vacuum tubes and keeps the system from overheating.
Kitchens and kitchen appliances
Kitchen surfaces, sinks, faucets and other fixtures stay cleaner with the aid of Vulcan. You will quickly notice that scale is visible but as fine dust particles which can be easily removed with a damp cloth. Surfaces and tiles will be smoother and shinier and be much easier to keep clean.
Dishwashers
Dishwashers will operate with less detergent and less additives. Detergent use can be reduced by as much as 25%. Typical spotting on glasses and cutlery is reduced or no longer apparent.
Reverse osmosis filters
RO-filters for your tap drinking water last longer. Water filters and RO-filter membranes will work more efficiently as well.
Washing machines
Laundry is more effective as Vulcan-treated water lathers noticeably more. The same amount of detergent will give you cleaner clothes and whiter linens. You can reduce the amount of detergents in daily use and reduce the need for aggressive agents. Vulcan extends the life of the machine's heating elements.
Bathrooms
Easier to clean
You will notice that stains on basins, sinks, toilets or fixtures can be easily wiped away with a cloth. Shower heads do not become clogged. Soap and detergent use can reduced as much as 25%.
Softer water
Vulcan decreases surface tension in water which makes the water feel softer and soap lathers quickly. Skin will feel smoother and hair will be much more manageable because the water is scale-free.
Swimming pools and Jacuzzis
Private swimming pools
Vulcan makes pool cleaning much easier. Scale on the water line is looser and easier to wipe off. Pool covers and tiles will show less stains. Vulcan reduces deposits in the pipes and valves. The all-important circulation pumps last longer, sand filters need fewer media changes and the use of harsh chemicals is reduced.
Jacuzzis
The combination of water, circulating air and pressure in a hot tub tremendously promote scale build-up. Vulcan makes the cleaning of the tub easier and reduces deposits in the pipes and valves. Covers and tiles will remain stain-free longer.
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. Young children and elderly people especially can benefit from the healthy calcium and magnesium content that is naturally found in tap water.
Water tastes better and beverages retain their natural flavor
During the electronic process of modifying scale particles in the piping system Vulcan does not change the chemical composition of the water itself thereby retaining the natural taste and flavor.
