Water is a critical component to your business; if you have been involved with the vehicle washing industry for a while, you will understand the negative impacts hard water (lime scale) has on every aspect of your service and equipment.
Hard water scale shortens the lifespan of everything it touches. Calcium and Magnesium is simply a natural part of water and trying to remove it through a water softener system for your industry would be very expensive. Additionally, legislation is moving towards a ban on water softeners due to environmental impacts.
Under a microscope, hard water minerals look like a ‘spiky balls’ that sticks to everything it touches. As water moves through all of your equipment it deposits Billions of ‘spiky balls’ that simply will not wash away under water pressure damaging your equipment, reducing water pressure, and leaves a white chalky film on everything.
Water is a vital component and can be used as a competitive, marketable advantage to where your facilities produces a better clean because of your water quality.
It makes great business sense to be able to extend your equipment lifespan, use less cleaning ingredients and turn a customer into a location insistent client instead of viewing your company as a generic car washing facility.
Installing the Vulcan Electronic Descaler is something you can do yourself without hiring a commercial plumber- wrap the electronic impulse bands around the main water pipe that supplies water to all of your bays and plug the device into an electrical outlet. It works on any pipe material and uses VERY little electricity. It works by changing hard water minerals, on a molecular level, from a sticky ball into a rod shape that cleans out existing scale and prevents hard water minerals from sticking to surfaces.

Before installing the Vulcan S25 on our 100mm (4 inch) water pipes we regularly (2-3 months) had to chemical cleaning the pipes and heat exchangers. Now after 3 months of using the Vulcan treatment we no longer have to physically clean or have to spend money on chemicals. - Toray Group
The Royalton Punta Cana Resort & Casino is a 1000 room resort located on the beachfront in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. A Vulcan S100 is also installed on the resorts main hot water system, in order to remove and prevent scale build up in the heaters/boilers, which provide hot water throughout the entire resort and casino.
The Vulcan S250 unit was installed on the 10 inch diameter line that feeds twin cooling towers. Between the time of the installation on July 16th and August 20th, about a month after installation, the green biofilm had almost completely disappeared from the surfaces in contact with the Vulcan-treated water. - FAMU/FSU College of Engineering
