First of all, why do I need a Descaler and what size shall I use?
A regular size home with 2-6 bathrooms, normally uses a pipe not larger than 1” in diameter. A Vulcan 5000 with the capacity to treat 2,100 gallons of water per hour will be the right size, to provide complete protection, to pipes, appliances and fixtures. Vulcan units are used on commercial and industrial buildings including hotels and apartment complexes. They have the capacity to effectively treat up to 60 grains of hardness, which is considered a very high amount of hardness, ussually present in properties operating on well water. Vulcan offers protection effectivity up to 1.2 miles from the installation point along your pipe system. Vulcan turns calcium and magnesium particles into crystals with a neutral static charge, making them physically incapable of building up scale. These crystals remain solubilized in the water, and will be washed away with the flow. Depending on ambient temperature this crystalization effect can last up to 7 days after treated water exits your pipe system.
How does it descales?
The aggressive adhesive properties of calcium and magnesium particles makes limestone buildup, an imposible problem to reverse on its own. Vulcan impulse treatment effectively stops limestone from continuing building up, while its powerful dissipating effects softens existing scale, layer by layer. The friction of the water, as it flows trough the pipe takes care of dissolving the presoftened buildup layers, as they are washed away in crystal shape.
The big oilyness feeling after showering using water from a salt water softener.
Allowing minerals to remain in the water is helpful to aid solubilizing soap oils and preventing those oils from sticking to your skin, hair and bathtub floors. The big oiliness feeling, after showering everyone complaints about when they use water from a salt softener, occurs because oil molecules do not bond with water, nor sodium. Oils need the minerals to be present in water to chemically blend-in. A salt water softener will remove all minerals and exchange them for sodium (salts). In the absence of minerals in your water, soap oils will be attacted by the static charge of your hair and body, as well as every other surface in your bathtub. Making bathroom floors unsafe, and creating that unconfortable oily feeling in your body after you shower. It is proven, using water from a salt water softener will double shower time. Wasting twice as much water. Vulcan water not only feels fresher and cleaner, but provides instant soap oil rinsing.
Vulcan Descaler - How does it Works?
