Vulcan S50 Unit
Location: Palma, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Installation Date: March 2023
The Challenge
Multi-family buildings face a unique challenge: scale affects every resident, but individual solutions aren't practical. The Joan Massanet Moragues condominium needed a single, comprehensive solution that would protect all 18 apartments from mineral scale without requiring maintenance or resident cooperation.
The Solution: One Unit Protects All
Main Cold Water Line
Pipe Diameter: 76 mm
Installation: 1 x Vulcan S50 on the main cold water line
By installing a single Vulcan S50 on the main water line entering the building, every apartment downstream receives protected water. Showers, sinks, water heaters, and appliances in all 18 units benefit from scale prevention.
Vulcan Model Used
This condominium installed the Vulcan S50, ideal for main water lines with 5-inch pipe diameters and flow rates up to 300 GPM.
