Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Redwood Inn: Six Months With No Hot Water Tank Clean
Key results
6 months with no tank cleaning
94% less scale accumulation
3 suites back in service

Case Study from HydroFLOW Canada

The Challenge

  • Hot water tank limescale built up at around 1 inch every six weeks
  • Two 80-gallon domestic hot-water tanks needed cleaning every six weeks
  • Tank drains clogged and required high-pressure unblocking
  • Deposits repeatedly affected bathroom taps
  • Three suites eventually became unavailable to guests

The Solution

One HydroFLOW® C100 commercial unit was fitted to the hotel’s cold-water feed serving both 80-gallon hot-water tanks. Over the following six months neither tank needed routine draining or cleaning, scale fell to about a sixteenth of an inch, the drains flowed freely without a high-pressure hose, and all three suites returned to use.

Key Outcomes

R

Neither hot-water tank required routine draining or cleaning for six months

R

The drains no longer needed a high-pressure hose to clear blockages

R

Scale fell from around 1 inch every six weeks to about 1/16 inch after six months

R

Scale issues affecting bathroom taps were resolved, returning all three suites to use

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
