Guest Rooms
Agroturismo
Country Hotel
2
Vulcan Units
Location: Bunyola, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Installation Date: March 2023
The Challenge
Agroturismo hotels offer guests a peaceful country experience. Mineral scale in showers, sinks, and kitchen equipment leads to complaints and disrupts the tranquil atmosphere. Alqueria Blanca needed a solution that protected both cold and hot water systems while maintaining the authentic charm of the property.
The Solution
Cold Water Main
Pipe Diameter: 63 mm
Installation: 1 x Vulcan S50 on the cold water main pipe
Protects all cold water lines throughout the hotel, including kitchen prep areas, guest room sinks, and public restrooms.
Hot Water Circuit
Pipe Diameter: 32 mm
Installation: 1 x Vulcan 5000 on the hot water circuit
Protects hot water heaters, recirculation loops, and all hot water fixtures. Ensures consistent hot water delivery and prevents scale buildup in heating elements.
Vulcan Models Used
This hotel installed two different Vulcan models for optimal protection:

Benefits for Agroturismo Hotels
Guest Experience
Scale-free showers and sinks maintain the peaceful, high-quality experience guests expect from a country hotel.
Kitchen Efficiency
Protects dishwashers, coffee equipment, and preparation areas from scale damage, ensuring smooth breakfast service.
Reduced Maintenance
Fewer service calls means more time for staff to focus on guest experience rather than repairs.

Key Takeaway
Alqueria Blanca Hotel demonstrates that different pipe sizes require different Vulcan models. By using the S50 for the larger cold water main (63mm) and the V5000 for the smaller hot water circuit (32mm), they achieved optimal protection for every drop of water.
