Vulcan S25 Unit
Location: Palma, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Installation Date: May 2021
The Challenge
Multi-family buildings face a unique challenge: scale affects every resident, but individual solutions aren't practical. The Plaça de Miquel Dolç 5 condominium needed a single, comprehensive solution that would protect all 16 apartments and 32 bathrooms from mineral scale without requiring maintenance or resident cooperation.
The Solution: One Unit Protects All
Main Cold Water Line
Installation: 1 x Vulcan S25 on the main cold water line
By installing a single Vulcan S25 on the main water line entering the building, every apartment and bathroom downstream receives protected water. Showers, sinks, toilets, and water heaters in all 16 units benefit from scale prevention.
Vulcan Model Used
This condominium installed the Vulcan S25, ideal for multi-family buildings with pipe diameters up to 4 inches and flow rates up to 130 GPM.
