Vulcan S10 Unit
Location: Arta, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Pipe Diameter: 19 mm
Installation Date: October 2022
The Challenge
Small multi-family buildings need the same protection as large complexes, but with appropriately sized equipment. The Santa Margalida residential complex needed a solution that would protect all 6 apartments from mineral scale without over-engineering or unnecessary expense.
The Solution: Right-Sized for 6 Apartments
Cold Water Pipe
Pipe Diameter: 19 mm
Installation: 1 x Vulcan S10 on the cold water pipe
By installing a single Vulcan S10 sized for the 19mm pipe, every apartment receives protected water. Showers, sinks, and water heaters in all 6 units benefit from scale prevention.
Vulcan Model Used
This residential complex installed the Vulcan S10, ideal for smaller multi-family buildings with pipe diameters up to 3 inches and flow rates up to 65 GPM.
