ScaleRx® limescale inhibitor helps Texas hotel tackle hard water challenges
Limescale buildup is a persistent problem for businesses in regions with hard water, especially for water heating systems. It leads to costly maintenance, equipment failures, and energy inefficiencies. That’s exactly the situation a national-brand hotel in Texas was facing before they discovered ScaleRx, American Valve‘s powerful limescale inhibitor system. Here’s how ScaleRx helped this hotel combat limescale buildup and reduce maintenance costs while boosting energy efficiency.
The Problem: Hard Water Troubles at a Texas Hotel
Located in central Texas, a 102-room hotel was grappling with a persistent issue: a failing boiler system that required frequent, costly maintenance and repairs. The hotel is situated in an area known for its extremely hard water, with hardness levels ranging from 15 to 19 grains per gallon. This hard water caused significant limescale buildup, reducing the efficiency of the hotel’s water heating system.
Both of the hotel’s existing water softening systems were non-functional, and management struggled with insufficient hot water supply and low water pressure in guest rooms. The situation was dire, so they sought help from a local mechanical contractor.
The Solution: Scalerx Limescale Reduction System
The mechanical contractor, experienced with both single-family and multi-family installations, suggested a solution they knew could address the root cause of the hotel’s water problems: ScaleRx. Known for its effectiveness as a scale inhibitor for tankless water heaters, ScaleRx uses a unique Turbulent Galvanic Polarization system to disrupt the formation of limescale crystals. This technology does not require power, chemicals, batteries, or filters, making it a low-maintenance and highly effective solution.
For this large-scale commercial application, the contractor recommended installing individual Scalerx units on the inlets of five new Navien commercial tankless water heaters. This setup provided the perfect solution, significantly reducing the impact on both the installation time and project cost.
Key Benefits of ScaleRx
- No power supply, batteries, chemicals, or filters required
- Maintenance-free system, saving time and money
- Proven 76% reduction in limescale accumulation, four times more effective than the leading electronic scale reduction devices
- Easy installation, ideal for commercial applications like hotels
The Results: Major Savings and Minimal Downtime
After evaluating multiple bids, the hotel management selected this plumbing solution over others that either required regular maintenance or didn’t effectively address their water challenges. The installation of the five tankless water heaters with ScaleRx units was completed in just four days, with a total of only four hours of hot water downtime.
As a result of this hard water treatment, the hotel expects to save more than $10,000 (24%) in operating expenses over the 12-year lifespan of the new heaters. Not only will they enjoy a more reliable and efficient water heating system, but they’ll also significantly reduce the need for costly maintenance and repairs in the future.
