Vulcan Anti-Scale System - Reference Book (EN)

Vulcan is the salt-free alternative to water softeners. Vulcan is an eco-friendly water treatment system that protects your piping system and appliances against scale deposits and rust - no use of any salt or chemicals. The Vulcan reference book shows a selection of installations and studies of the Vulcan water treatment.

Filter holder of faucets and filters (kitchen and bathroom)<br />

Before: Limestone was strongly stuck on the circumference of the<br />

rings and also visible in the plastic filters (inner side). To remove the<br />

scale by soaking in vinegar is necessary. The outlet holes in the spray<br />

head (kitchen) were frequently blocked by hard-to-remove scale<br />

deposits.<br />

After: No deposit was found inside the filters or on the outside<br />

rings. The water comes out of the shower head without any<br />

obstacle, and no new deposit accumulates in the holes of the<br />

spray head.<br />
