The Challenge
Bar FLIP FLOP is a popular spot in Can Pastilla serving drinks and food to locals and tourists. With a busy kitchen, service bar, and guest toilets, they needed a reliable solution to prevent mineral scale throughout their water system. One unit on the cold water main would need to protect everything.
The Solution: One Unit Protects All
Cold Water Main Pipe
Installation: 1 x Vulcan 3000 on the cold water main pipe
By installing a single Vulcan 3000 on the main cold water line entering the bar, every outlet receives protected water. The kitchen dishwasher and prep sinks, the bar glasswasher and ice machine, and the guest toilets all benefit from scale prevention.
Vulcan Model Used
This bar installed the Vulcan 3000, ideal for smaller commercial applications with pipe diameters up to 1.5 inches and flow rates up to 13 GPM.
