Physical WaterTreatment

Against Scale and Rust

Made in Germany

The longer you wait to take action against scale the more damages and costly repairs will arise.

Loss of water pres-sure due to reduc-ced pipe diameters High cleaning costs

and the need for aggressive cleaning agents

High costs of re-pairs and mainte-nance of machines and equipment

Loss of energy due to prolonged hea-ting times

The Scale Problem

A breeding ground for bacteria

Decrease in overall in-dustrial productivity

Catronic - Against Scale and Rust

Catronic provides you with an eco-friendly water treat-ment system which protects your water pipes and equip-ment against scale and rust. The method is based on the Catronic Impulse-Technology and treats your water wit-hout applying any chemicals or salt.

Special electronic impulses change the crystallization process of the calcium contained in the water. This causes the hard scale components to lose their ability to stick to surfaces.

Catronic offers you a unique solution, customized to your needs.

• Over 30 years of experience in physical water treatment

• International 5-year product warranty

• More than 150,000 satisfied customers world-wide

• Tested by independent institutes

• TÜV Nord, CE and CULUS certified

• Member of the Water Quality Association

The CWT Impulse Technology

Over the past 30 years, CWT engineers have researched, tested and constantly improved the CWT impulse technology. Today, Catronic offers you the most effective eco-friendly water treatment available.

The CWT physical water treatment units work solely with electricity. No salt, chemicals or magnets nedded. The secret of effective treatment with electronic impulses is the correct frequency range paired with the most efficient voltage.

Stops scaling on

surfaces

The Catronic impulses

modify the crystallizati-

on of calcium. This gene-

rates rod-like structured

nano-crystals which are

no longer able to attach

to surfaces.

Clears the piping

system

Catronic carefully re-

moves scale build up in

the piping system. The

scale is washed away as

a fine powder. The scale

diminishes and with it,

the breeding ground for

harmful bacteria.

Protects against

scale and corrosion

Catronic generates a

controlled electrophore-

tic process which produ-

ces a protective metal-

carbonate layer. This

layer acts as protection

against rust and corrosion.

Benefits of Catronic

Catronic saves you money, keeps your piping system clean and protects your machinery.

Important minerals, like calcium and magnesium remain in the water

Prolonged working life of machinery and equip-ment

Careful reduction of scale deposits in the whole piping system

Catronic has very low operating costs

Physical Water Treatment

Catronic works solely with low voltage electricity; no salt or chemicals need to be added. The electro-nic impulse treatment does not change the original water quality. It simply changes the crystallization

behaviour of the calcium, which reduces the adhesi-ve power of scale.

Catronic is the eco-friendly and maintenance-free solution to your scale problems.

The water flows through the Catronic treatment chamber

where it comes into direct con-tact with the impulse field. Here, the impulses inhibit all scale components in the water from forming into burr-like structures (a). They now form as harmless

nano-crystals (b).

How does Catronic work?

Installed at the primary water inlet of the building, the water flows via the main pipe directly into the

treatment chamber of the main unit.

The swirl passage at the output of the treatment chamber is designed to crea-

te turbulence in the water within the main unit. This enhances the growth of the nano- crystals that have just been formed in the treatment chamber.

The Catronic-treated water leaves the main unit, equipped with nano-crystals which can

no longer attach to surfaces or build up as scale. The existing scale deposits will gradually diminish as the water flows through the piping system.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Which pipe materials is Catronic suitable for?

The devices are suitable for all pipe materials: iron, copper, stainless steel, plastic and compound pipes. The effectiveness of the electronic impulse treat-

ment is not affected by the material of the pipe.

Does the Catronic treatment have a softening effect on the water?

As the water treated by Catronic does not add or take anything away, essential minerals, such as calcium and magnesium remain. The water will, however, feel noticeably softer. You are sure to notice this effect when showering or washing your hair, although the treatment does not change the measured water hardness.

Do copper or synthetic pipes need a scale protection device at all?

Yes. Copper and plastic pipes are prone to calcifica-tions as well. The smoother a surface, the longer it can resist the process of scale build-up. However, once the first layer of scale has built up, the incrustation process proceeds just as fast as on any other surface.

Up to which degree of water hardness can Catronic be applied?

Catronic operates within a high performance frequency range. It can thus be successfully applied even on water

of a particularly high degree of hardness.

How can I check if the Catronic is operating

efficiently?

After 1-2 days you will recognize a change in the water. One of the most common sightings is that the scale you see in the kitchen or bath tub exists now as a fine powder that you can easily wipe away with a damp cloth. Improvements seen in production facilities are typically seen on the equip-ment itself.

How long does it take Catronic to clear the pipes?

Catronic dissolves scale and rust slowly and gently from your piping system by gradually removing scale layer by layer. The scale-reduction process takes about as long as it took the incrustations to develop.

Installation

General Advice

1. Protect the power supply unit against direct exposure to water and sunlight.

2. Use only the included power supply and adapter (when applicable).

3. The operating temperature of Catronic ranges from

–20° C to +50° C (14° F to 122° F).

4. Clean the device with water only.

5. Temperatures on heating surfaces should not exceed 95° C (~203° F).

6. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional.

1. For optimal water treatment Catronic is installed into the piping system in the main water pipe.

2. Catronic must be installed upright (see top/ bottom).

3. Connect the power cord with the electric unit. Then plug the power cord into the electric plug.

4. The display shows <Catronic - Scale protection is active> and confirms the correct functioning of the unit.

5. A green control lamp iluminates to indicate the power supply and red pilot lights blink as they confirm the impulse signals beeing emitted.
