BAVOIS Nature – arguably the most beautiful stop along the A1 between Bern and Lausanne.
Located halfway between Lausanne and Yverdon-les-Bains, the Bavois Nature Rest Area Take a break that’s more than just a quick stop. Across the vast Orbe Plain, a breathtaking view opens up all the way to the striking summit of the Suchet—a moment to take a deep breath, pause, and savor the moment.
At the Bavois (VD) highway rest stop, the existing water softening system (Pendel 200) unexpectedly failed due to several leaks. The situation was critical: With a water hardness of approximately 45 °fH There was a high risk of limescale buildup in sensitive kitchen appliances.
During the downtime, operations had to continue without a water softener. The combi-steamer and the dishwasher—both essential components of daily operations—were particularly affected. A fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution was needed.
A compact temporary solution was installed on short notice to ensure uninterrupted operation and effectively protect the connected devices from limescale buildup. At the same time, the new, more powerful system was Fawa® Top 250 designed, manufactured, and prepared for installation.
Requirements for the new facility:
The Fawa® Top 250 now ensures maximum operational reliability, high efficiency, and sustainable, future-proof water treatment. The new plant has made it possible to implement a high-performance and sustainable solution—tailored precisely to the on-site requirements.
A big thank you to our customers Autogrill Switzerland as well as to our Sanipartner Hauswirth Bursins SA for the pleasant and successful collaboration.
