Why Hamilton Beach?
Once you understand water softening, you’ll never go back to hard water—the benefits that come with soft water far outweigh the price at which soft water comes. But when it comes down to it, all water softeners soften water, what makes the Hamilton Beach stand out from the crowd?

The short answer is Hamilton Beach unique high-flow capability, a feature that sets Hamilton Beach apart as a “code-meeting” softener. Because most water softeners are installed after a home is built, most plumbers can exploit a loophole in the plumbing code: You only have to meet code when the home completes construction.* After the homeowner moves in, you don’t have to meet code anymore—and most water softeners don’t.

But does that render the plumbing code irrelevant? Of course not: the plumbing code is the minimum recommendation for safe, healthy, efficient, enjoyable plumbing. Hamilton Beach protects you from the following difficulties you may encounter with other softeners you may experience the following:

  • NO MORE flow-drops (if you have any other water-consuming fixture or appliance in service). A properly sized Hamilton Beach system ensures you will not encounter flow-drop, even if multiple fixtures or appliances are engaged. The Hamilton Beach is WQA S-100 Certified: meaning its flow rate is certified higher than other systems—meeting plumbing code where most water softeners do not. Flow is measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and you can compare systems based on their flows.

  • NO MORE excessive regeneration. Most water softeners purchased from big-box stores are undersized for most applications. The Hamilton Beach system will be properly sized by your Advanced professional installer.

  • NO MORE hard-water bleed. Undersized units cannot provide adequate softening capability to cover your water demand. A properly sized Hamilton Beach ensures you will have sufficient softening capability no matter how much you demand.

  • NO MORE excessive salt usage. Most water softeners clean 3,800 grains optimum of softening resin with one pound of salt. The Hamilton Beach is WQA S-100 Certified: meaning its salt efficiency is certified higher than other systems: you won’t have replace salt as often. The Hamilton Beach cleans 4,720 grains per one pound of salt.(WQA tested and certified results model SA-HB-40-DB-CERT). That means fewer trips to the store to purchase salt—saving you money.

  • NO MORE excessive water usage: Because undersized systems regenerate more often, water consumption increases. Hamilton Beach ensure you have the lowest regeneration to soft-water-production ratio—thereby saving you the cost of additional water consumption.

What is Hard Water?
We call water "hard" if it contains a lot of calcium or magnesium dissolved in it. The calcium and magnesium ("hardness") precipitate out of the water and stick to things. Hardness can cause a variety of aesthetic challenges for homeowners, such as mineral build-up in showers, water valves and faucets. In addition, this mineral “scale” decreases efficiency and causes premature ware on appliances such as dishwashers, laundry machines, coffee makers, and of course water heaters. The scale doesn't conduct heat well and it also reduces the flow through pipes. Eventually, pipes can become completely clogged. Furthermore, because hard water contains contaminants that interfere with cleaning, homeowners find themselves using more soap and chemicals to clean. Not to mention, soap and hard water react to form a sticky scum. Water softeners avoid these problems, making it highly advantageous for homeowners to invest in a water-softening unit to remove the “hardness” from the water.

Misconception - "soft water makes me feel slimy." If you get that slimy feeling after using soft water, it's because you are using too much soap. Hard-water users are conditioned to use more soap than is necessary, that when they visit a friend or family member who has water softeners, they use too much soap and feel slimy after a shower.

How Water Softeners Work
The idea behind a water softener is simple. The calcium and magnesium ions in the water are replaced with sodium ions. Ion exchange is the primary vehicle for softening water. Ion exchange means taking “hardness” ions like calcium (CA++) and magnesium (Mg ++) and exchanging them for “soft” ions—usually sodium (Na+). Since sodium does not precipitate out in pipes or react badly with soap, both of the problems of hard water are eliminated.

How do Ions Switch Places?
“Hard” water enters the softeners (called a “cation exchanger” by industry professionals) and immediately encounters resin—small negatively charged beads. Regenerated resin holds sodium ions. When the water comes in contact with the resin beads, the ions sort themselves out. Because “hard” ions have a stronger attraction to the resin than the “soft” ions, the “hard” ions (calcium and magnesium) stick to the resin beads, and the “soft” ions (sodium) are passed into the water in their place.

How does Salt Regenerate a Water Softener?
Resin can only attract so many “hard” ions. The softener requires regeneration when the resin is exhausted, meaning it has no more “soft” sodium ions to exchange for “hard” ions. Softeners coat the resin in a very concentrated brine (salt) solution to regenerate the resin bed.

Brine is water containing saturation-point levels of dissolved salt—over 200,000 ppm. That’s as much salt as water will hold in solution (26 to 27 percent salt). When salt (sodium chloride: NaCl) is dissolved, the ions break apart into sodium ions (Na++) and chloride ions (Cl-). Chloride ions take no part in the softening process.

When the brine passes over the exhausted resin, the abundance of “soft” sodium ions causes the resin to release its hold on the “hard” ions. When the resin bed is restored to its original “soft” state, the regeneration is complete and the unit is prepared to repeat the water-softening cycle.

Misconception - water filters remove hard water. Yes, the solution to hard water is either to filter the water by distillation or reverse osmosis to remove the calcium and magnesium, or to use a water softener. However, whole-house filtration systems that actually remove hard water are extremely expensive, so a water softener is usually a less costly solution.

Warranty
Lifetime warranty covers all major components such as the salt tank, resin tank, ion-exchange resin, and valve body. All other parts (including electronics) are covered for five years.
