The Vulcan has been a worthwhile purchase
About three weeks after installation, in early January, I heard water running outside. I went to the back of my home and discovered the outside faucet there running at full stream. This faucet did not work at all and now it was running at or near full flow. All because of Vulcan. Just 2 months after installing the Vulcan, I went to take a shower and I noticed the faucet was completely free of calcium and operating like new.

Our well water contains extremely high iron and calcium minerals. We live day-to-day dealing with several issues caused by our well water. The calcium build up requires constant maintenance, replacing faucets annually, shower curtains monthly and a new set of glasses about every 6 - 12 months. In addition to this, our water softener requires 160 pounds of salt every 5 weeks. Over a one month time period, I discovered both shower faucets in our home would require replacing requiring us to remove of shower wall tiles. In addition, two of the outside faucets needed replacement. One of these outside faucets had so much calcium build-up; it would not close and the other one had no flow. This is when I decided to give the Vulcan water conditioner a try. I installed a Vulcan on the PEX inlet water line just before the water softener and before it splits off to outside faucets in December 2012. The Vulcan has now been installed for just over 2 months.

It had been 6 weeks, since I added salt to the softener, so I assumed it would take every bit of the 4 bags I purchased, but when I opened it up, I discovered I was barely able to get three bags in. I estimated I was only using about 50% of the salt quantity I was previously using. All because of Vulcan.
Just 2 months after installing the Vulcan, I went to take a shower and I noticed the faucet was completely free of calcium and operating like new. I went to the second bathroom and noted additional improvement in that one as well, and the shower hoses in both bathrooms are no longer stiff. All because of Vulcan.
The day I installed the Vulcan, I went around and took several photos of corrosion and buildup of calcium scale on the outside of the kitchen and bathroom faucets. While I haven‘t noticed a significant reduction in the buildup in most areas, I did find almost a complete removal of the buildup on drinking glasses.
