About Hotel Casa Iguana Holbox
Hotel Casa Iguana is a small, charming boutique hotel located on the best beach on Holbox Island, Quintana Roo, Mexico. This tranquil getaway offers guests a limited number of exclusive rooms, two outdoor pools, and a full-service spa with a beauty salon.
In a paradise setting, every detail matters for guest satisfaction. The hotel's management understands that issues like low water pressure, spotted glassware, and stubborn limescale in bathrooms can quickly diminish the luxury experience. With extremely high water hardness on the island, these problems were becoming a significant operational challenge.

The Challenge: Extreme Hard Water on Holbox Island
Due to the naturally high water hardness on Holbox Island, Hotel Casa Iguana faced severe limescale problems throughout its hydraulic system:
- Reduced Water Flow: Scale buildup was decreasing the internal diameter of pipes, restricting water supply to the hotel complex.
- Bathroom Fixtures: Unsightly limescale deposits on faucets, showerheads, and toilets detracted from the guest experience.
- Kitchen & Glassware: White calcium stains on glasses, dishes, and bathroom mirrors required constant re-washing and polishing.
- Increased Maintenance: Staff spent excessive time cleaning scale and dealing with clogged fixtures.
