Holiday Resort Lombok

Every 6 months the engineering staff had to manually remove scale from pumps, valves, kitchen equipment and from the 102 individual electric hot water heaters. After installing the Vulcan descalers scale was easily flushed out. After a second inspection the units were found to be almost entirely free of scale.

Model: Vulcan S25
Location: Indonesia
Installation Area: electric hot water heaters

Holiday Resort Lombok:

189 Bungalows / various types of guest rooms / extensive landscaped gardens / 2 Swimming Pools / several Food and Beverage outlets www.holidayresort-lombok.com

Reason for Vulcan installation:

Engineering had to manually remove scale from pumps, valves, kitchen equipment and from the 102 individual electric hot water heaters every 6 months because the property relies entirely on hard ground water which caused significant scale issues year after year.

Result installation of Vulcan S25

The Chief Engineer reported after an initial 6 months following installation of the electronic anti-scale system Vulcan S25 they were able to easily flush out already dislodged scale from each tank heating unit – instead of scraping away hard scale from the elements. After a second inspection the units were found to be almost entirely free of scale. Future inspections have now been reduced to annual, random inspections only – which is felt to be sufficient to ensure overall domestic water piping system cleanliness.

Inspection after 6 months:

One of the water heaters at a Sea View Bungalow (photo) was opened for inspection and showed much dislodged scale particles at the bottom of the tank, with some easily removed soft scale still present on the element only. This water heater unit had not been scheduled for random inspection since installation of the Vulcan unit at the Resort.

Additional benefits reported:

The General Manager and CE reported that shortly after the Vulcan had been installed, the linen being washed at the inhouse Laundry plant was softer and whiter. In addition, Food and Beverage staff reported brighter glass ware with the detergents working much better. Housekeeping staff reported that the usual white spots on bathroom tubs, counters and floors had entirely disappeared and that outlets of showers and taps needed no longer special attention with only basic wiping being sufficient to maintain their shine.
