Key Issues
Laundry services depend on water quality for efficient cleaning and fabric care. Hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium can create significant challenges for these operations, leading to decreased efficiency and increased costs.
Squeaky were encountering a number of persistent issues in their day to day operations:
- Limescale Build-up: Hard water minerals were accumulating in washing machines and pipes, leading to timescale formation that was reducing performance and equipment lifespan
- Equipment Damage: Hard water was causing damage to washing machine components, resulting in more frequent repairs and downtime
- Fabric Quality: Poor water quality affects fabric softness and colour retention whiteness and brightness. It was compromising the quality of laundered items
- Increased Energy Consumption: Limescale build-up in heating elements reduced energy efficiency and temperature, this also lead to higher utility bills in order to achieve temperature
Our Solution
At Squeeky Laundry, a Sidon lntegro™ was installed on the cold main and the results were monitored. A significant increase in temperatures were achieved and during this period timescale was removed from the hot water system completely.
Environmental Benefits
Some of the sustainable and environmentally friendly benefits that installation of the Sidon lntegro are:
- Efficient Cleaning Performance: Keep your washing machines running smoothly with reduced downtime and improved cleaning efficiency. The lntegro™ prevents timescale build-up, ensuring optimal performance
- Cost Savings: Enjoy cost savings on maintenance, repairs, and energy bills with the lntegro™. Our system operates without the need for chemicals or maintenance, saving you time and money
- Environmental Responsibility: Contribute to sustainable laundry practices with the eco-friendly lntegro™ technology. Reduce waste water, chemical usage, and environmental impact
Summary & Results
The initial 3 month trial was a huge success. The trial clearly demonstrated that the Sidon lntegro™ system worked extremely well to remove existing timescale and hold increased water temperature.
