Case Study
Background
Point Loma Sports Club is a world-class, 23,000 sq. ft. fitness facility located on the scenic Point Loma peninsula in San Diego, California. The club offers a comprehensive fitness experience, including a full weight room, a large functional-training arena, yoga studio, black-lit indoor cycling studio, tranquil stretching sanctuary, peaceful lobby with Wi-Fi, and premium locker-room amenities. With a focus on member experience, cleanliness, and operational excellence, water-related hygiene is a priority for both guests and staff.
Challenge
Like many facilities in Southern California, the club faces the challenges associated with hard water. Prior to installation, staff spent considerable labor time removing mineral deposits from:
- Shower doors
- Shower heads and faucets
- The glass door of the commercial washing machine
These deposits were not only unsightly, but also contributed to stress on plumbing components, fixtures, and hot-water systems.
Integro™ Installation
The Sidon Integro™ Technology was installed three and a half years ago in April 2022, to protect water-related equipment and improve member experience. Installation required no chemicals, no consumables, and no lengthy disruption to facility operations.
Summary & Results
Since installation, Point Loma Sports Club has experienced:
- Noticeably improved appearance of water-exposed locker-room fixtures
- Reduced mineral staining on shower glass, taps, and tile surfaces
- Lower maintenance and cleaning effort
- Protection of hot-water systems and on-site laundry equipment
Staff reports that what previously required 5–8 hours per week of cleaning time can now be completed through routine mopping, sanitizing, and light polishing. This has shifted janitorial focus from locker rooms toward higher-value cleanliness goals across the facility.
What the customer had to say?
“We’ve had the Sidon system for about three years now, and are highly impressed with the results! Our janitorial team used to spend 5–8 hours per week scrubbing off the ‘hard water’ stains on our shower glass doors, shower heads, faucets, locker room floors and even on the glass door to our commercial washing machine. We now just mop, sanitize and focus on shining up all areas of the locker room and move on to the remainder of the Club for more deep cleaning. Way more efficient, and way more effective in reaching our goal of creating premier member experiences in all areas of our gym.”
Conclusion
The Integro™ system has helped Point Loma Sports Club maintain a cleaner, more visually appealing locker-room experience while reducing labor hours and extending the life of water-exposed assets.
Congratulations to the owner and management team at Point Loma Sports Club for continuing to deliver an exceptional, high-end fitness experience supported by sustainable water technology.
