La Spaziale BAV5 Operating instructions
Technical specifications
Automatic BAV softener family have electronic head that provides a system of regeneration of the
resins in volume, which is preferable to the chronometric system because the software in the
microprocessor of our electronic volumetric controller enables the start-up of the resin regeneration
only when necessary, or only when a certain volume of water has passed through the resin..
The technology of these electronic controllers is internationally patented and certified according to the
requirements of "CE", "RoHS" and NSF.
In a low water comsumption state, the water softener will regenerate the resin every 3 days (this is
programmable data).

WARNINGS:
BAV WATER SOFTENERS MUST BE USED FOR ALREADY DRINKING WATER TREATMENT ONLY;
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR OTHER USES, TAMPERED OR MODIFIED.
ANY OTHER USE MUST BE CONSIDERED IMPROPER AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
THE PRODUCER CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DUE TO MISUSE AND
UNREASONABLE USE.
THE WATER SOFTENER MUST NOT BE USED TO TREAT DIFFERENT LIQUIDS THAN WATER.
USE PURE SALT TABS ONLY INTO THE BRINE TANK.
ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS COMPATIBLE WITH ELECTRICAL DATA
DEVICE TO BE CONNECTED.
IS FORBIDDEN WASH THE WATER SOFETENER BY JETS OF WATER.
IS FORBIDDEN REMOVE THE WATER SOFTENER CONTROL VALVE PROTECTIONS.
FOR ANY DEVICE REPAIRS, REFER TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

Connections and installation
Brine line

DRAIN
The installation must be carried out as required by the regulations in force in the country
where the installation is performed by qualified and authorized personnel.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the environment , people, animals and objects
for which the manufacturer declines all responsibility.
Please note that an optimal positioning of the softener will be useful when you make the
necessary routine maintenance , repairs in the field and the loading of salt in the container
of the brine.
The drain hose should be connected permanently to the appropriate hose ( see Image
above ) , verifying that the tube is of flexible type , of appropriate section and that there are
no bends along its length .
The drain hose must not be immersed in wells with standing water because it could cause
a backflow of water into the water sostener.
The excessive environmental heat or freezing can severely damage the water softener is
recommended that you place it in places with temperatures not lower than 2 ° C and no
higher than 50 degrees Celsius.
For optimal functionality of the water softener, minimum inlet water pressure must be 1,8
bar and maximum inlet water pressure must be 5 bar.
The softener BAV has been designed for the treatment of cold water and temperature limits
are : minimum 5 ° C and maximum 45 ° C.
START-UP
After installation, you will have to proceed with the first water softener start-up.
1) Put water into the vat of salt (BAV5 = 2.5 Lt - BAV8 = 4LT - BAV10 5Lt - BAV12= 6Lt)
Later this will be done automatically by water softener after each regeneration of the resins.
2) Pour the salt (possibly pads) in the vat, until no longer than 3 \ 4 of the capacity of the
container.
3) Slowly open the tap which feeds the water softener and then open a tap of users
downstream of the softener in order to allow to free the pipes from the air and to perform a
sort of rinsing of the resins (3-5 minutes will be enough)
4) perform a visual inspection of all parts of the softener to exclude the presence of a water
leak.
Periodic maintenance and inspections
Two or three times each year , must be performed the cleaning of the vat of brine for the
removal of sediment and foams which periodically may be formed by the salt deposits .
The resins contained in the blue tank have an average life of five years and after this period
must be replaced by qualified personnel.
To check the status of the resins , perform a test of the water hardness immediately after
the end of a regeneration .
If water were to be " hard" , this could be the signal of the exhaustion of the capacity of the
resins to perform the function of softening and you will have to proceed with the
replacement of the resins .
Regeneration of the resins takes place by means of hydro saline solution formed with the
dissolution of the salt in water, then it will be appropriate to keep under control often the
level of salt present in the vat and fill the brine tank in case the salt should be scarce.
For a correct functioning of the softener we recommend to use only the salt for water
softener system (pads).
If you have installed a filter before the softener , it must be cleaned regularly 3-4 times a
year and, if necessary , replace it with one with the same characteristics .
TIME SETTING
If the time displayed will be incorrect , you have to set the exact time , following
the steps below:
If you see the padlock symbol in the upper left, it means that the keypad is locked and to
unlock it you have to press the up / down keys simultaneously for a few seconds
When the padlock symbol will turn off , press MENU \CONFIRM (will appear SET 12 to 24
CLOCK)
Press the DOWN ARROW button , go to the item SET CLOCK and press
MENU \CONFIRM button
Use the up \ down keys to adjust the time and confirm by pressing MENU \ CONFIRM
To return to the service page , press MANUAL \ RETURN.
After a minute, the lock symbol will reappear and the panel will return to safety mode
CAUTION : ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE PARAMETERS ARE ALREADY SET
BY OUR TECHNICAL SPECIALIST AND RECOMMENDED FOR MOST USERS .
ADDITIONAL SETTINGS ARE NOT REQUIRED BY THE USER.
Selection of language on display
The BAV display is multi-language.
To select the language you wont, follow these instructions :
1.
Switch-off the power supply
2.
Hold down the keys (press at the same time)
Then switch-on the power supply (still holding the key)
3.
After 5 seconds, will appear the languages list
4.
Release the two keys
5.
using the arrows keys, scroll down to the language you want and confirm using
the key
Now your language is selected on display
How to adjust the output water hardness
Hardness Adjusting screw
The control valve of the automatic water softener BAV is equipped with a system for
adjusting the water hardness (water softener output)
Using a screwdriver on the adjustment screw indicated in the above picture , it is possible
to mix the output water treated (about zero French degrees), with the hard water , in order
to increase the treated water hardness degrees.
When the screw is completely screwed-in, the treated water will have zero degrees of
hardness.
If you unscrew the screw gradually, you will get more degrees of hardness.
The adjustment precision of the screw depends on the characteristics of the water to be
treated and it should be better use a kit for measuring the hardness of the water, easily
available on the market.
Please note that the automatic water softener BAV is usually set to zero degrees of
hardness.
