Dear customer!
Thank you for purchasing the latest generation
Cillit lime scale protection device. With Cillit
PIONEER you are getting value for money and
entering into the world of the nano-crystal techno-
logy and at the same time giving you and your
family unique benefits:
• Reliable lime scale protection: PIONEER
offers lime scale protection against extreme
calcification, congested pipes and un-
necessary hygiene risks from deposits up to
20° German hardness (356 ppm).
• Valuable drinking water: PIONEER retains all
essential mineral nutrients like calcium and
magnesium. Your drinking water stays as it is!
• Comfortable operation: PIONEER is un-
manned and you can rely on the electronics to
remind you of the annual service required and
recommended by Drinking Water Ordinance.
Note:
Always keep these fitting and operating instruc-
tions close at hand to avoid any mistakes and
before carrying out any work, read the fitting and
operating instructions carefully and follow them.
1. Scope of delivery
PIONEER comes complete with the recently deve-
loped lime scale protection unit for forming nano-
crystals, the latest integrated control unit and
screw connections in 3/4". To make maintenance
easier, we would recommend before and after
PIONEER, fitting maintenance shut-off devices.
2. Function & use
Nano-crystal technology
PIONEER works on the principle of nano-crystal
formation. The integrated lime scale protection
unit consists of a three-dimensional electrode.
Defined current/voltage pulses cause a local dis-
placement of the lime scale carbonic acid balance
in the water, causing so-called nano-crystals to be
formed. Due to their small size, the nano-crystals
carry an electrical charge that prevents adheren-
ce. The nano-crystals as a whole are able to
absorb the lime scale in the water and thus pre-
vent deposits in pipe work and boilers. The drin-
king water remains unaffected.
Lime scale protection
PIONEER is used for lime scale protection and
thus for the prevention of lime scale stains in
pipes carrying drinking water up to 20° German
hardness (356 ppm) and in the downstream, clo-
sed water heaters up to 80° C (176° F) surface
temperature.
Note:
The processing of other media as drinking water
for human consumption and use outside the flow
limits of 25 l/min is not intended and shall lead to
the loss of any liability claims against the manu-
facturer.
Any prerequisites for fitting, limits of use, local
installation regulations, general guidelines (e.g.
DIN, VDE, DVGW, ÖVGW, SVGW, WVU, EVU,
etc.), general hygiene requirements and technical
data shall be adhered to. The installation area
must be frost-proof and protection of the device
against heat sources over 40° C (104° F) and che-
micals of any type must be guaranteed. In terms
of the composition of drinking water, the EU
Directive 98/83 shall apply. Likewise, the WHO
Drinking Water Standards and the Drinking Water
Ordinance shall apply.
3. Pre-requisites for fitting
Local installation regulations, general guidelines,
general hygiene requirements and technical data
shall be followed. The installation area must be
frost-proof and guarantee the protection of the
system against chemicals, dyes, solvents,
vapours and environmental influences. The
ambient temperature must not exceed 40° C (104°
F). Protect the device from direct sunlight and
ultra-violet light. The area from the water meter
to 1 m after the PIONEER device shall have a
corrosion-resistant finish.
Drinking water filter
To protect the device from foreign particles, it is
essential to add a DIN/DVGW (or ÖVGW) tested
drinking water filter. To protect the whole installa-
tion and the system, a pressure reducer should be
added at a mains pressure greater than 4 bar. An
easily removable testing line is required for the
function check of the PIONEER.
4. Fitting
Make sure that there is a sheltered socket in the
installation area. The length of the connection
cable of the device is 1 meter.
