CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
The installation must be carried out as required by the regulations in force in the country where the installation is
performed by qualifi ed and authorized personnel.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the environment, people, animals and objects for which the manu-
facturer declines all responsibility.
The exhaust pipe provided must be fi rmly connected to the hose clip (see image above), paying attention that
the hose is fl exible and of appropriate section and that there are no bends along its length. Moreover, the drain hose
must be fi rmly fi xed to the drain pipelines to prevent it from coming out and spilling water in the room.
The drain hose must NOT be immersed in wells with stagnant water since that could cause a backfl ow of water
towards the device.
The distance between the device and the drain must not exceed 4 meters.
Too much heat or cold could seriously damage the softener, so we recommended to place it in places with
temperatures between 5 and 35 Celsius degrees.
In case of a long period of inactivity of the water softener it is necessary, when the device is reactivated,
to launch a manual regeneration to rinse the resins in the softener’s tank.

FIRST START
After the installation, proceed to start the water softener for the fi rst time.
1) Pour water into the vat: for model
BAV5=2,5L of water,
for
BAV8=4 L of water,
for
BAV10=5 L of
water,
for
BAV12=6L of water,
for
BAV18=10 L of water.
After the fi rst start this will be done auto-
matically by the softener after each regeneration of the resins.
2) Pour salt into the vat. We recommend salt for water softening in TABS, up to no more than ¾ of the
capacity of the container (see label MIN and MAX on the vat).
3) Carefully open the tap of the softener and after that open a mains water tap downline of the softener in
order to free the pipes from air and to rinse the resins (3-5 minutes will be enough).
4) Check all parts of softener to exclude the presence of water leaks.
