Has the installation location been chosen with respect to these factors?Time Factor (water in tanks max. 48 h)
Heat Factor (Temperature peaks on heating element surfaces should not exceed ~203°F)
Distance Factor (max. 2 km / 1.24 mile pipeline length)
Are there unusual high levels of certain substances in the water? If yes, have they ben taken care of?Example: Iron (Fe) and other metals: The content of iron and other metals in the water should not exceed 1 mg/l (1 ppm).
Other metals, for example: copper(Cu), aluminum(Al), lead(Pb), nickel(Ni), Zinc(Zn) can affect the Vulcan treatment.
Mn: The manganese level should not exceed 0.1 mg/l (0.1 ppm)
Have filter and pumps locations of been taken into consideration?As a general rule it is better to install Vulcan after a pump and after a filter, if the setting in your installation area allows it.
Filters: Crude filters (> 50 μ) do not remove the mono-crystals and can be ignored. For more sensitive filters ( < 50 μ). it is recommended to install Vulcan after the filter.
Pumps: If possible, we advise installing Vulcan after any pumps.
WHY? : Pumps with internal plastic wheels may create an electrical field that may affect the electronic impulse results of the descaler. Pumps with internal metal wheels may also cause an effect on the altered hard water molecules. If you know your pump does NOT create a very strong electrical field then install the Vulcan device before the pump on your main water line. If you are uncertain install after your main water pump.
Filters: If possible, we advise installing Vulcan after any pumps.
WHY?: Water filters are manufactured in a very wide variety of membranes and mediums; very small membrane water pathways can potentially filter out the treated hard water crystals. In general, install the Vulcan after your main water filter system.
Have you checked for strong electricity, magnetic fields or electro-motors?Please make sure that there are no strong electric lines running close to the installation area. High voltage electric lines or strong magnetic fields may interfere with the Vulcan impulse-field. Please install Vulcan approximately 1 ½ to 3 feet away from these fields.
Are paint or cover materials on the pipe taken care of?Thin coatings such as pipe protection (e.g. corrosion protection paint) are suitable to place the impulse-bands directly on top.
Insulation material or other thicker protective layers should be dismantled and can be re-installed over the impulse bands after installation.
Is the pipe surface temperature suitable?The pipe’s outside temperature should not exceed ~ 149° F. Above this may harm the isolation of the copper impulse bands.
