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.
