Vulcan is your electronic anti-scale system that treats hard water without 
the use of salt or chemicals

The eco-friendly alternative to water softeners

Treating hard water can be done in two ways. 
Water  softeners  remove  calcium  and  magnesium  by 
adding salt ions, which drastically increases sodium in your 
drinking water. The problem with softeners are not only that 
they tamper with good water quality by adding salt. They 
also need a lot of maintenance and constant refi lling of the 
salt tablets together with accurate settings.
Instead, Vulcan is maintenance-free and does 

not change 

the water composition. It leaves calcium and magnesium in 
the water which are important minerals for the body.

Benefi ts of using Vulcan

   Secure reduction of scale deposits in the whole 

piping system

   Less time and effort on maintenance in your 

home, and for household appliances 

   Filters, shower heads and basins stay cleaner

   Faster cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms

   Considerable savings on cleaning agents

   Important minerals remain in the water

   Food and beverages keep their natural taste

  Cleaner sprinkler nozzles for garden irrigation 

   Easier swimming pool maintenance

Water  is  a  valuable  resource. 

However,  hard  water  contains 

dissolved scale which will even-

tually  build  deposits  in  your 

pipes  and  appliances.  Every 

house  owner  should  use  an 
eco-friendly water treatment 

in  order  to  ensure  that  the 

piping system stays clean. This 

preserves  the  value  of  your 

home  today  and  for  the  next 

generation to come.

The  Vulcan-Impulse-Technology  treats  the  water 
with  special  electronic  impulses  that  take  away 
the  adhesive  power  of  the  scale  particles.  Scale 
components  are  simply  washed  away  with  the 
water  as  a  fi ne  powder.  Vulcan  also  carefully 
dissolves  already  existing  deposits.  The  build-
up  process  is  reversed  and  the  piping  system 
is  clean  once  again.  In  addition,  pipes  consi-
sting  of  metal  often  suffer  from  corrosion.  The 
electronic  Vulcan  impulses  generate  a  metal-
carbonate  protective  layer  that  prevents  pitting 
corrosion.
