Location: Scottish Highlands, UK
Case Study
Overview
Whilst not in a typically hard water area (Scotland), these holiday lodges get their water from a borehole and are a very good example of why postcode hard water checkers can’t always be relied upon! The owners had been experiencing issues with scale build-up.
Key Issues
A site survey was carried out and the following areas were highlighted by the owners as being affected by scale:
- Significant historical build-up of limescale throughout the system and equipment
- Heating elements in hot tubs
- Showerheads, shower screens, kettles
- Hot water cylinders and boilers in the lodges
- Pumps after the borehole
Our Solution
In June 2021, we installed an Integro 2 v3 in the pump room to protect the entire system which services the main house and three lodges, all with private hot tubs.
Environmental Benefits
As well as benefitting from quantifiable savings such as their energy consumption, there are several additional environmental benefits as a result of installing the Integro technology.
- Reduction in scale and corrosion to critical equipment, meaning less engineer visits and reduction in spare parts which would otherwise carry direct and indirect increases in the hotel's carbon footprint.
- Reduced chemical use.
- Improved water quality and efficiency of hot water equipment.
- Extended life of all water related equipment and improved efficiency.
Results
Since the installation of the Integro in June 2021, it has been shown to be effective in removing existing scale throughout the entire water system and water related equipment and preventing any further build-up.
What the customer had to say?
“After purchasing our home & and holiday let business two years ago we found intense limescale issues. Aer exploring complicated salt softener systems we came across Sidon Water Ltd and the ‘integro’ option. Sidon Water Ltd took time to explain all the advantages of the system and answers any queries or concerns we had.”
“Now a year from when we initially spoke with Sidon Water Ltd we are noticing and benefitting from the ‘integro’ system in many different ways; the main one being our showers are much easier kept clean and in fact the new showers that we replaced at the start of the year show no sign of limescale in the either the new system or its pipework – truly amazing – all done hassle free and with the continued support from all at Sidon Water Ltd.”
“We can highly recommend the ‘integro’ system and Sidon Water Ltd as a company.”
