Camping Carlos III in Córdoba (Spain) chooses Dropson to combat limescale issues

Camping Carlos III, located in La Carlota (Córdoba – Spain), is a leading destination for those seeking nature and comfort in the heart of Andalusia. Just 25 km from Córdoba city and with direct access to Seville, this tourist complex offers a wide variety of accommodations — from fully equipped bungalows to shaded camping pitches — and family-friendly facilities such as a swimming pool, playground, sports courts, and restaurant.

Why was it necessary to act against limescale at Camping Carlos III?

The campsite faced a recurring issue due to the high water hardness in the area, a common condition in many southern Spanish regions. Limescale build-up was affecting the performance of hydraulic systems, especially in domestic hot water systems, taps, and appliances. This type of water, rich in calcium carbonate, led to solid deposits that reduced thermal efficiency and increased maintenance costs. In response, the campsite management evaluated two options: a conventional salt-based water softener or a maintenance-free physical alternative.

A sustainable solution with the Dropson EMI anti-limescale system

Thanks to the collaboration with distributor Laguna e Hijos and the installation by Hermanos Otero Peña SLU, the Dropson anti-limescale system using EMI technology was selected. A model EMI 4000 was installed, tailored to meet the flow rate and water hardness conditions of Camping Carlos III. This unit is factory-calibrated to provide effective treatment within its performance window, with no need for adjustments or regular maintenance.

This physical system transforms dissolved calcium into non-adherent aragonite microcrystals, without altering the water’s chemical composition or generating waste. Unlike traditional water softeners, Dropson requires no salt, maintenance, or regeneration, making it a sustainable and efficient solution for a tourist environment like Camping Carlos III.

The EMI system ensures continuous protection of the entire hydraulic network, enhances the energy efficiency of equipment, and significantly reduces maintenance costs related to limescale. Additionally, by preserving the original properties of the water, it ensures a high-quality experience for guests while maintaining the natural environmental balance of the campsite.
