Vulcan S25 Unit
Location: Can Picafort, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Installation Date: July 2022
The Challenge
Mixed-use buildings present a unique challenge: residential units, commercial spaces, and restaurants all have different water needs and usage patterns. The Comunidad Costa i Llobera, 26 needed a single solution that would protect all three types of spaces from mineral scale, ensuring smooth operations for residents, diners, and businesses alike.
The Solution: Complete Protection for Mixed Uses
Cold Water Main Pipe
Installation: 1 x Vulcan S25 on the cold water main pipe
By installing a single Vulcan S25 on the main water line entering the building, every area receives protected water:
- 13 residential units: Showers, sinks, toilets, and water heaters
- 1 restaurant: Dishwashers, ice machines, coffee makers, prep sinks
- 2 offices: Kitchenettes, restrooms, drinking water
Vulcan Model Used
This mixed-use building installed the Vulcan S25, ideal for properties with pipe diameters up to 4 inches and flow rates up to 130 GPM.
