AQUATIP AQ® BNT 8

User manual / 1
The AQUATIP AQ® BNT 8 water softener is a fully automatic ltration system with a cation exchange resin based on salt
regeneration, which does not require any or only minimal permanent maintenance. Water softeners require permanent removal,
water stone in the whole building. The di󰀨erence between hard and soft water is best noticed by people with sensitive skin,
which will be smoother to the touch and will no longer be bothered by drying out and impaired sensitivity to the high magnesium
content, and certainly in water. Water softening itself works on the principle of ion exchange. The saline solution inside the device
comes into contact with a very acidic cation exchange resin, from which the cations of drug (Ca2 +) and magnesium (Mg2 +) are
removed, these are replaced by sodium ions (Na +) and subsequently discharged in the waste as part of the spent regenerate.
The AQUATIP AQ® BNT 8 water softener is a reliable option for water softening in an ideal price-quality ratio. It is suitable for
households and companies. It is based in Europe and is controlled by constantly evolving and innovated warheads from
Canature®. The AQ® BNT 8 softener contains, as the name suggests, 8 liters of ion exchange resin cation exchange resin, which
ensures the softening of water. Thanks to the cation exchange resin, we guarantee 100% e󰀩ciency, which can be checked with
water hardness drops or accredited water analysis. The amount of mixture is permanent and does not need to be replenished.
Equipment with this volume category is suitable for standard households or businesses. Thanks to its practical narrow
dimensions, it is suitable for conned spaces.
MAIN BENEFITS
- Includes a user-friendly LCD display and manual cycle position adjustment for easier and faster installation and service of the
device.
- It is fully automatic, which means that it does not require any operation other than regular lling of the tabulated salt.
- The device itself is certied for use in drinking water in the EU and in the Slovak Republic.
- Compact dimensions, which make it ideal for water treatment even in smaller households with limited space.
INSTALLATION
The softener package contains a ByPass, mains adapter, reducers, Allen key, silicone grease, fasteners and various accessories.
It is also necessary to have access to the waste pipe and the power supply in the vicinity of the softener.

INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Close the water supply.
2. Remove the pipe that led from the cap further into the pipe in the building.
3. Connect a softener between the supply and the pipe.
4. Remove the top cover from the device and connect the ByPass to the device from the back.
5. Before connecting the ByPass, apply silicone grease to the circumferential seal.
6. Then insert the ByPass into the back of the softener.
7. Attach the ByPass to the softener with a fastener that you screw on from the side. Do the same on the opposite side.
8. Apply silicone grease to the seal of the reducers, remove the red fuses from the ByPass and insert the reducers into the holes
at the end with the seal side facing the ByPass.
9. Then re-insert the red fuses. Bypass is now mounted on top of it you can see the red valves through which it is possible to
direct the ow of water.
10. Further connect the hose to the softener. It connects to the part where the ow sensor is inserted.
11. Remove this sensor and slide it into the sensor compartment.
12. Then slide the hose onto the outlet and pull it o󰀨 with the Esca tape.
13. Connect the other end of the hose to the drain pipe.
14. Push the hose back on and tighten it with an Esca tape.
15. After you have successfully connected to the drain pipe, move the softener to a position where it will be stable.
16. Use stainless steel pipes to connect both the inlet and outlet. They can be easily shortened and bent as needed.
17. Connect the pipe to the water cap on the top and the inlet to the Bypass to soften the water.
18. Connect the second pipe to the pipe at the top and the Bypass outlet on the water softener.
19. Tighten all connections.
20. The water inlet is indicated by an arrow to the softener and the outlet by an arrow away from the softener.
21. After completing the assembly, simply pour the salt into the full tank, switch on the appliance to the mains and adjust the
control head.
22. The last step is to start the regeneration and slowly open the water supply. After regeneration, the device is ready for
operation. Finally, you can put the top cover back on. For the rst 24 hours, we recommend checking the tightness of all
connections.

GENERAL VALVE INSTALLATION
1. Locate the softener tank and brine tank close to a drain where the system will be installed. The surface should be clean and
level.
2. Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes. Use a 1/2” minimum pipe or tubing size for the drain line.
Use a 3/4” pipe or tubing for backwash ow rates that exceed 7 gpm or length that exceeds 20ft (6m).
3. Only use Teon tape on the drain tting. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the
valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve.
Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve.
4. Cut the 1” central pipe ush with top of each tank.
5. Lubricate the o-ring on the bottom of valve that seals against the tank. Screw the valve on to the tank. Be careful to not
cross thread the valve into the tank. Only use silicone lubricant.
6. Add water until there is approximately 1” (25mm) of water above the grid plate. If the tank does not have a grid, add water
until it is above the air check in the brine tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
7. If the unit has a bypass valve, place it in the bypass position.
8. Slowly turn on the main water supply.
9. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free of foreign material resulting
from the plumbing work. Close the water tap when water runs clean.
10. Place the bypass in the service position and let water ow into the mineral tank. When water ow stops, slowly open a cold
water tap nearby and let water run until air is purged from the unit. Then close tap.
