* Sizing an appropriate mineral descaler model/s is a combination of the building’s primary use, diameter of the water pipes where the mineral descaler will be installed, and the anticipated water flow. Other variables such as building height, square footage and supporting equipment (boilers, heat exchanges, cooling tower, etc.) also play a role in developing a holistic descaling plan to lower energy consumption and extend equipment and piping infrastructure lifespans.
Note: to offer a general mineral descaling model sizing plan for the building classifications below, assumptions were made for pipe diameter, number of floors, building size, etc. A final installation plan for your specific building may require more or fewer installed models.
H1 – Luxury Hotel
(built prior to 1960)
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Cooling Towers: a descaler on the return line near the rooftop cooling stack and another on the supply line near the chiller. Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. |

H2 – Full Service Hotel
(built after 1960)
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. Descalers can be included in other functions and facilities of the hotel such as the kitchen, pool to lower general cleaning intervals, and before water filtration and UV equipment. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • Barcelo Hotel Group |
H3 – Limited Service
(Transient Occupancy/ Chains)
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. Descalers can be included in other functions and facilities of the hotel such as the kitchen, pool to lower general cleaning intervals, and before water filtration and UV equipment. |

H4 – Motel
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: An additional descaler can also be used to provide additional support to the onsite laundry facilities to extend the lifespan of commercial equipment. Pilbara Commercial Laundry Service case study saves $10,000+ every 2 years. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • Habitat Suites |
H5 – Hotel
(Private Club, Luxury Type)
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Mineral descalers are spread out throughout the hotel to continuously reenergize the water supply in strategic locations. This will dramatically lower general maintenance and cleaning by the hotel maintenance staff. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Palm Beach Club Hammamet • Holiday Resort Lombok |
H6 – Apartment Hotel
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. Descalers can be included in other functions and facilities of the hotel such as the kitchen, pool to lower general cleaning intervals, and before water filtration and UV equipment. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • 30 Year Old Apartment |
H7 – Apartment Hotel
Cooperatively Owned
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. Descalers can be included in other functions and facilities of the hotel such as the kitchen, pool to lower general cleaning intervals, and before water filtration and UV equipment. Owners of individual units can use the V5000 model on the apartment’s main water pipe. This 30 year old apartment owner notices improvements within 1 hour. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • Barcelo Hotel Group |
H8 – Dormitory
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: If access to primary water lines and available power outlets is restricted in narrow crawl spaces it would be better to install a significantly larger model (example: S350 / S500) on basement water pipes to support the dormitory building. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • Underground Installation |
H9 – Miscellaneous Hotel
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: This installation approach uses a descaler for a 20” max pipe diameter on a 10” water pipe. The building’s water control equipment and pumps are location on street/ basement level. The additional descaling strength will be required to reach upper levels of the hotel. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Royalton Punta Cana Resort & Casino |
HB – Boutique
10-100 Rooms, Luxury Facilities, Themed, Stylish, Full Service
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Additional descalers may be required on primary cold water lines to ensure adequate descaling on upper levels. Descalers can be included in other functions and facilities of the hotel such as the kitchen, pool to lower general cleaning intervals, and before water filtration and UV equipment. |
| • Hotel Case Studies • Comfort Inn and Suites • Barcelo Hotel Group |
HH – Hostels- Bed Rentals In Dormitory-Like Settings
with shared rooms & bathrooms
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: The motivation for this type of building may be to prevent mineral scaling in boiler equipment and to minimize general cleaning in shared bathroom facilities. If this is a larger building with several floors, ownership may want to consider using additional mineral descalers on primary hot water pipes on higher levels. This will recharge the water as it approaches upper levels to help lower the time and effort s required to keep showering facilities clean. |

HR – Sro- 1 Or 2 People Housed In Individual Rooms
in multiple affordable housing dwellings
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: Although the main water pipes may be 6 inch diameters; using a stronger centralized descaler may be adequate to offer a descaling solution for this type of building (depending on total size) without having to use additional descalers in various parts of the building. This type of installation plan may be centered around providing a simple long-term descaling solution with minimal overall investment. |

HS – Extended Stay Suite
amenities similar to apartments, typically charge weekly rates and less expensive than full-service hotels
|
Mineral Descaling Models: |
| Installation Considerations: If this is a high raised style building, it will be necessary to install a significantly larger descaler on the main water pipe if the intention is to support upper levels without using additional support models. This type of building may want to maximize descaling efforts throughout the building to create a holistic energy saving plan, maximize the lifespan of support equipment and lower general cleaning cycles. |
