Page 8: Hard Water And The Scale And Rust Problem
1. The Scale and Rust Problem Hard Water and the Scale and Rust Problem The Scale and Rust Problem 1.1 What is Limescale? Scale mainly consists of calcium and magnesium - two minerals that by themselves have a healthy effect on the human body. However, what is good for living organisms quickly becomes a scale problem as it deposits in the piping system, in machinery or on surfaces outside the piping system. -

2. Vulcan - Your Electronic Anti-Scale System 2.3 The Vulcan Impulse Bands Vulcan operates with customized isolated copper impulse bands that are designed to firmly connect to the pipe. They are extremely thin and flexible with minimized isolation. This way, they achieve minimal spacing loss and maximize the direct-contact-ratio to 97.5%. -

3. The Vulcan Technology The Vulcan Technology 3.1 Electronic Scale Protection - The 3 Vulcan Effects 3.1.1 1 Vulcan effect Vulcan stops scaling in pipes and appliances Without the Vulcan water treatment, the scale particles in the water form sticky crystals that then build solid deposits. The patented Vulcan-Impulse-Technology modifies the crystallization of calcium and magnesium using the natural process of electrophoresis. -
Page 15: The Removal Of Scale = The Removal Of Rust
3. The Vulcan Technology The removal of scale = the removal of rust As soon as scale deposits have built up, iron particles imbed into it. Thus, the scale and the rust blend into one material that are seen as red-colored deposits in the pipe. -
Page 16: Physical Water Treatment - How It Works
3. The Vulcan Technology 3.2 Physical Water Treatment - How it works Vulcan is a phsyical water treatment system that does NOT use chemicals or salt. It does not change the chemical mixture of the water. Instead, it changes the physical characteristics of the scale crystals in a way that the scale particles loose their adhesive power. -

Page 18: External Factors And Their Influence On The Treatment
4. External Factors and their Influence on the Treatment External Factors and their Influence on the Treatment As the eco-friendly technology of physical water treatment operates within the laws of nature, we have to consider some of these laws. It is important for the Vulcan water treatment to create as many of the mono-crystals as possible. -
Page 19: The Combination Factors
4. Factors influencing the Physical Water Treatment Experience shows that the Vulcan effect will start to diminish after a distance of approximately 2.000 m (~ 1.2 miles) in the pipe. However, long distances of 2 km (~ 1.2 miles) or more are rarely reached within buildings. -
Page 20: The Water Quality Factor
4. Factors influencing the Physical Water Treatment 4.4 The Water Quality Factor The individual composition of water and especially very high concentra- tions of certain substances can influence the Vulcan treatment. 4.4.1 High concentration of iron (Fe) Iron is naturally found in water. Very high iron content is typically found in water wells which then often causes problems with rust. -

Page 44: The Water Capacity
11. Vulcan Installation 11.1.2 The water capacity The maximum water capacity per hour (l/h, m /h, gph or gpm) is the amount of water that Vulcan is capable of treating within one hour. This number is largely determined by the pipe diameter itself: The diameter of the pipe together with the maximal amount of water pressure (usually 20 bar) determines the maximum capacity of each specific pipe size. -
