About Aura Hotel
Aura Hotel is a modern hotel located in Munkácsy, Hungary. Like all hospitality properties, first impressions matter—from the sparkle of bathroom fixtures to the cleanliness of glassware in the restaurant.
Within just six months of opening, the hotel's management discovered that hard water scale was silently destroying their guest experience and driving up maintenance costs. Faucets were failing, ice machines required constant attention, and housekeeping spent hours scrubbing scale-covered tiles and shower walls. The hotel needed a solution that would protect their investment and restore operational efficiency without introducing chemicals or salts.

The Challenge: Scale Devastates a New Hotel
Just months after opening its doors, the Aura Hotel faced a cascade of scale-related failures:
- Premature Faucet Failure: Within 6 months of opening, faucets were completely blocked with scale and had to be replaced.
- Monthly Ice Machine Maintenance: Staff had to service the ice machine every month to keep it functioning.
- Impossible Cleaning: Tiles and shower walls were so scaly that bathroom cleaning took hours of manual scrubbing.
- Kitchen Equipment: The dishwasher couldn't deliver spotless results, and other kitchen equipment was at risk.
