What to do if water flows to sewage when BADU Control Unit valve is in filter position?
- D
  dreyesAug 20, 2025
  If water flows to the sewage when the BADU Control Unit valve is in the FILTER position, it could be due to contamination from small parts or sand, or a loose/worn valve seal. Remove the valve lid to identify and clean the valve, addressing any overload issues. Another cause may be that the cam disc is not set correctly, in this case you should send the complete upper part to the manufacturer. Also, ensure the valve cover with actuating drive wasn't mounted twisted by 180°. If so, undo the screws, turn the whole unit 180°, and tighten the screws, making sure the angular cams of the valve and valve cover match.

Why is backwash triggered unintentionally in my BADU OmniTronic?
- K
  kevintaylorAug 22, 2025
  Unintentional backwash triggering in your BADU Control Unit can be caused by interference on the circuit board. Check the surroundings of the BADU OmniTronic and eliminate any interference on the board or cable. If the backwash is triggered externally, it may be due to devices causing interference near the external contact cables. In this case, avoid laying cables with live wires or use shielded cables.

What to do if BADU Control Unit pump runs after backwash and pool is drained?
- P
  Patrick EdwardsAug 27, 2025
  If the pump continues to run after the backwash/rinse cycle and the actuator remains in position, causing the pool to drain, with your BADU Control Unit, the relay may be overloaded or stuck. Try tapping the relay lightly with your finger. Another solution is to send the actuator with valve lid to the manufacturer. For VS pumps, ensure they are wired only via the control cable.

  A leak in the pipe to the sewer (inspection glass on valve) of your BADU Control Unit, may be due to impurities such as sand in the valve or on the seal. Backwash to remove any dirt from the seal. A function run can be achieved by switching on/off at the rocker switch. If problems persist, send the actuator and valve lid to the manufacturer.

Why is water leaking between valve lid and housing on my BADU OmniTronic?
- D
  Derek Greene MDAug 30, 2025
  If water leaks between the valve lid and the black lower housing of your BADU Control Unit, it could be due to a leak on the shaft or lid. In this case, replace the complete upper part and send it to the manufacturer. Another cause could be a hairline tear. Check the unit pressure and installation conditions.

What causes a faulty small, blue sprocket on my BADU Control Unit?
- M
  Megan MoralesAug 31, 2025
  If the small, blue sprocket is faulty, and not picked up on your BADU Control Unit, the valve insert may be overloaded. Send the actuator with valve lid to the manufacturer for inspection. There could also be an electrical connection fault at the pump, check electrical connections using the operation manual. Unfavourable installation conditions may also be the cause, check the installation situation and if necessary integrate a special SPECK non-return valve (240.9102.063).

How to fix manual start of backwash/rinse cycle on BADU OmniTronic?
- C
  Crystal CampbellSep 6, 2025
  If the backwash/rinse cycle cannot be started manually on your BADU Control Unit, the incorrect contact may be connected to the pressure switch. Reconnect the pressure switch, using contacts 2 and 3. (Looking at the pressure switch with the contacts underneath, these are the middle and left contacts.)
