Glossary of Terms
Manual Regeneration
Hardness is comprised of dissolved calcium and magnesium.
As a general rule water is considered to be extremely hard
when over 10 gpg of hardness, hard when 6-10 gpg, mildly
hard when 3-6 gpg, slightly hard when 1-2 gpg and soft when
0 gpg.
Occasionally you may find it necessary to initiate a manual
regeneration. This is done by pressing the [REGEN] button on
the front of the display. (See Figure 2.) When you press the
[REGEN] button, the control performs a full regeneration of
the water conditioner immediately.
In the event the system is allowed to run out of salt, it will be
necessary to run “Back to Back” regenerations. This can be
done easily by pressing the [REGEN] button one time, waiting
at least one minute and pressing the [REGEN] button again.
Hard
ery Hard
V
10.5+ gpg
3.5–7.0 gpg
Extremely Hard
7.0–10.5 gpg
Measurements: Your Hamilton Beach water system registers
hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). Most water analysis reports
register hardness in milligrams per liter (Mg/L) or parts per
million (ppm). To convert either Mg/L or ppm to gpg, divide
the indicated amount by 17.1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The second regeneration will begin immediately after the
first is completed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Back to Back” regenerations are necessary if full exhaustion
occurs due to low regenerate levels or system malfunction.
The system works on a highly efficient proportionate-brining
method. When the system is not aware of the lack of proper
regenerate(salt) a larger portion of the resin bed becomes
exhausted.
Example: Water report indicates total hardness of
350 Mg/L, divide this number by 17.1 to get the
gpg, which would be 20.4 gpg.
Ion Exchange: Your water conditioning system utilizes ion-
exchange media, also referred to as resin, to effectively remove
hardness ions from the water and replace them with sodium
ions. Exhausted resin beads are rinsed with a salt solution
called “brine.” This causes the resin to exchange hardness ions
for the sodium ions, returning the resin to its sodium state.
[REGEN] Button
Proportionate Brining: Your Hamilton Beach System utilizes
an advanced microprocessor to control the amount of
regenerant proportionate to the amount of exhausted resin.
It uses enough salt to bring the system back to 100% capacity.
The microprocessor also incorporates a variable-reserve feature
to enable the system to adjust to patterns of usage, thus
maintaining high efficiency.

Homeowner Maintenance (Continued)
Calendar Day Override Feature
Disinfection of Water Conditioners:
Hamilton Beach systems have an optional calendar day
override feature. The systems come pre-programmed with
this feature turned off. To activate this feature, see Level II
Programming instructions. This feature overrides the regis-
tered water volume and initiates a regeneration based on the
days selected even if there has been 0 water usage registered.
This feature is sometimes used if long absences from the home
occur. This ensures a freshly regenerated bed of resin and
minimizes the chance of resin fouling.
The construction materials of the water conditioning system
do not contaminate the water supply. However, we
recommend that the conditioner be disinfected after
installation. Periodic disinfection is recommended for all
conditioners. Use the following method of disinfection to
clean your system:
• Sodium Hypochlorite 5.25%: Sodium Hypochlorite
solutions can be used with polystyrene resin, synthetic
gel zeolite, greensand, and bentonites and are available
under trade names such as Clorox*. Adjust the dosage
if stronger commercial solutions are used.
Regeneration:
Salt is used to regenerate the system. Salt pellets are generally cleaner
than extra-course rock salt. DO NOT use salt blocks as they may contain
vitamins or other undesirable additives. Add salt to the brine tank when it
drops to within 12 inches of the bottom.
The recommended dosage for a 5.25% depends on
your system size. Use the following amount depending
on your system model:
Dry Brine Tank:
Model:
SA-HB-40-DB-CERT . . . . . 1.5 Fluid ounces
SA-HB-48-DB-CERT . . . . . 1.8 Fluid ounces
Hamilton Beach Systems use a dry brine tank. Since the system
determines the amount of solution necessary to regenerate
the exhausted resin, water is sent to the brine tank as part of
the regeneration sequence in an amount proportionate to the
exhausted resin that needs to be regenerated.
Add the sodium hypochlorite solution to the brine well of the
brine tank. Make sure that the brine tank has water in it so the
solution is carried into the conditioner. Proceed with manual
regeneration. Refer to the Manual Regeneration section on
page 6.
Note: While it is a dry brine tank, you will see approximately 1” of water
in the bottom of the tank during normal service. This amount of water is
necessary for the proper function of the brine air-check assembly. If water
amount exceeds this level while in normal service position, refer to the
troubleshooting guide; or contact your local authorized Hamilton Beach
dealer or qualified plumbing professional
* Clorox is a trademark of the Clorox Co.
Battery Backup Feature:
Your Hamilton Beach system has a battery backup feature. (See
Figure 3.) During a power outage the display will be blank but
the microprocessor will continue registering water flow. The
system will not initiate regeneration during a power outage;
instead it will wait until full power returns.
Brine Tank Cleaning:
Insoluble materials gradually build up in the salt tank
depending on the levels found in the salt. As a general rule,
inspect the brine tank once a year when the salt level is low.
To clean the tank, disconnect the brine-line connection, rinse
out any insoluble build-up, reconnect the brine-line, and add
one inch of fresh water. Then totally refill the tank with salt.
It is recommended the battery be replaced once a year or after
any extended power outage. The battery is a standard 9-volt.
Detailed instructions can be found in the programming section
on page 12 of this manual.
Setting Time Clock:
Your clock should indicate the current time of day, provided
the clock is set correctly. The system will clean at the specified
time of regeneration.

Manual Bypass Valve / Pre-Installation Check List
Manual Bypass Valve (Optional)
Do not use soft vinyl tubing, 3/8” or smaller
tubing. Do not expose tubing to freezing.
Your Hamilton Beach system is equipped with a manual
bypass valve. (See Figure 4.) This valve is to be used if you
want to stop the flow of water through the equipment but still
allow untreated water into your home.
When barb drain fittings are used, always use a
hose clamp to secure the tubing to the fitting. Do
not connect the drain line to the overflow line on
the salt storage container. Installation of the drain
line should be in accordance with all state and
local plumbing codes.
o Installation Site: When choosing the proper
locations for the equipment, consider the
following factors:
• Proximity to drain.
• Proximity to electrical outlet.
• Access to plumbing; it is recommended
that when possible both hot and cold water
be treated with the exception of outside
taps. Kitchen cold is optional. Additional
equipment may work better with treated
water. Consult your dealer for details and
the best option for the application. (See
Figure 5.)
Figure 4: Bypass valve.
For example, a bypass valve may be used if a leak occurs in
the system or when the homeowner(s) will be gone from the
home for an extended period of time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
It is recommended that the bypass valve knobs be engaged and
disengaged (turned in and out of service) once a year to ensure
that the O-rings are functioning. This allows the bypass valve
to turn more freely if it becomes necessary.
o Unpacking System: After removing the system
from the box, inspect the system for any
concealed damage that may have occurred
in shipping. If damage occurred, contact your
dealer for details. Do not install if the system has
sustained damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Installation Check List
The following items should be checked and verified prior to
the installation of the equipment. Under certain circumstances,
as indicated, additional procedures or pieces of equipment
may be recommended.
o Water Pressure Verification: A minimum
water pressure of 20 psi is required for normal
operation. Maximum water pressure is 120 psi.
o Electrical Requirements: The system includes a
12-volt transformer to be plugged into a standard
110 volt 60 Hz current. If additional cord length is
required, a 15 foot extension is available.
(AVP-1000907, see pg. 11)
Whole-home media
filtration system
o Drain-Line Connection: Choose a location close
to a drain to put your brine tank. Avoid overhead
runs in excess of 25 feet. Drain line must be a
minimum of ꢀ” inside diameter.

Detailed Installation Instructions
Detailed Installation
Instructions
• A Brine Tank over-flow line of ꢀ” ID 5/8” OD is
recommended for the brine tank. This line should
run from the barb fitting on the side of the tank to
an unobstructed drain. (See Figure 7.)
General Installation Warnings
• Each system comes standard with a high-pressure
injector.* It may be necessary to change the
injector (see Figure 8) to match your incoming
water pressure. (See Table 2 for injector sizes.)
The following general warnings should be observed when
installation and/or general service maintenance is performed.
*Standard Injector (High Pressure)
• Plumbing connections should be done in
accordance with state and local plumbing codes.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
Brine tank
• Drain lines should be ꢀ” minimum for drain line
flows up to 7 gpm. Flows above 7 gpm or runs in
excess of 20 feet require ꢁ” drain line.
Overflow fitting
installed
WARNING: Never connect drain line directly into a drain, sewer line or
trap. Plumbing code requires installation to allow an air gap* between the
drain line and the wastewater to prevent the possibility of sewage back-
siphoning into the conditioner. (See Figure 6.) Sewage backup can have
harmful health effects.
Connect 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID tubing
or hose and run to drain.
Figure 7: Brine tank tubing connection with overflow fitting.

Start-up Rinsing Procedure
Start-Up Rinsing Procedure
(Bypass valve is optional)
1. With the plumbing, drain line, and overflow
connections completed, slowly open the water
supply allowing the lines to pressurize.
Once the air clears and water begins to run to the
drain, open the inlet valve (only) to the full open
position and allow the water to run to the drain in
purge for a minimum of 20 minutes. (See Figure
11.)
Note: The optional bypass should still be in bypass mode as
shown in Figure 9.

2. With the control valve unplugged, manually
advance the control valve by depressing the drive
gear and rotating the main system gear to the
purge position. (See Figure 10.)
4. After the 20-minute purge cycle, manually
advance the main gear to the backwash cycle and
allow to run for a minimum of 10 minutes. (See
Figure 12.)
Note: when advancing the main gear manually while under
water pressure it is normal for the gear to encounter resistance
as the valve chambers depressurize. If resistance occurs,
pause five seconds to allow the valve to depressurize before
advancing to the next step.
Figure 10
3. Slowly open the inlet valve (only) on the bypass
valve allowing the system to pressurize. It is
normal to hear air blowing to the drain during this
procedure.

Battery Backup/ Programming the Control Valve
Programming the Control
Valve
Battery Backup Feature
Your Hamilton Beach softening system has a battery backup
feature that allows the control to continue monitoring water
flow and maintain the proper time of day during short power
outages. The control uses a standard 9-volt battery (not
supplied).
You are now ready to continue programming the control.
Programming can be done in both Level I and Level II.
Accompanying tables are included for selecting the correct
settings for each level .
During a power outage, the display will be turned off and the
motor will not run, but the control will continue to monitor
water flow. If power is out and a regeneration is needed, the
regeneration will be delayed until power is restored. If power
is lost during the regeneration, the control will resume the
regeneration when power is restored.
Note: The system has been pre-programmed with default settings based
on model number and ultra-high efficiency settings at a water hardness of
15 grains per gallon. While the system may operate with these settings,
the following Level I & II settings may need to be changed to meet the
actual operating conditions and achieve maximum system capacity and salt
efficiency.
While batteries may last for over a year, the factory recommends
replacing the battery every year. During an interruption in
power supply, a typical new 9-volt alkaline battery provides
approximately two days of power for the control. Older
batteries and those exposed to temperature over 750 F (23.9O C)
provide power for shorter periods of time.
The control can be operated without a battery, but the control
will not measure water usage or time while the power is off.
The control will save all important operating information and
programming data during a power outage. No reprogramming
is necessary.
Figure 18
Note: It is recommended that the battery be replaced every year or after
any extended power outage.
To install a battery:
1. Remove the control valve cover.
2. The battery pocket is located in the upper left
corner of the control as shown in Figure 18.
3. Insert the battery, matching up negative and
positive posts.

The pre-set default values for each model are listed in Table 5.
To change these values, press the [SET] button and enter a new
value. Any value between 0.1 and 14.0 Kilograins is allowed.
Time of Day
Note: If the calculation for the system capacity exceeds 9999 gallons (99.99
cubic meters) (P5, Capacity, divided by P3, Hardness), the control will
display 9999 for capacity until the water usage has dropped the remaining
capacity below that number. When water is flowing through the system, the
colon in the Time of Day display will blink.
Press the [SET] button. The display will show the Time of Day
with the minutes digit blinking. If you want to change this
number, press the up arrow [#] button to increase the number
or the down arrow [$] button to decrease the number.
Salt Settings (Ultra-High Efficiency Settings)
To skip the number without changing, press the left arrow [!]
button. The first number stops flashing and the next number
starts flashing. You can only change the flashing number. When
you have reached the far left digit, pressing the left arrow [!]
button returns you to the far right digit. Continue changing
numbers until you reach the desired setting. Press the [SET]
button again to enter the value.

The next value displayed is the Time of Regeneration, which is
similar to Time of Day programming. It has a default setting
of 2:00 a.m. If 2:00 a.m. is acceptable, press the down arrow
button [$].

Level II Programming
The Level II programming has been programmed by the
manufacturer to the settings in Table 6. The changing of preset
values can be done at this time. Refer to Level II programming
parameters in Table 6 for options.
Note: It is not recommended that homeowners change these values
without checking with local water-treatment professional for details.
Incorrect programming can cause system malfunction and the possible
need for a field service call to reprogram the system. System programming
is not covered under warranty.
To access Level II programming, simultaneously hold down the
up [#] and down [$] arrows. This will allow you to enter Level
II settings P6 through P19. (See Table 6.)

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Manual Indexing for Each Regeneration
Errors
The control valve may be manually indexed to each
regeneration position as follows:
The Hamilton Beach System continuously monitors itself and
displays an error message if it detects something wrong.
1. Remove the control valve cover.
2. Press down on the top of the drive gear to
disengage the cam gear. (See Figure 9 on page
10.)
3. With the cam gear disengaged, rotate the cam
gear counterclockwise to the various positions,
using the same steps as the Start-up Rinse
procedure (see page 10).
When an error is detected, the display shows the letters “Err”
with a number from 1 to 4. The table below lists Err numbers,
a description of each error, the cause of the error, and the
solutions. (See Table 9.)
To clear the error from the display, press any button on the
control. If the error still exists, the control will display the error
message again after 30 seconds.
The control valve may also be operated in a fast mode for
testing the control. To activate the fast mode, follow steps 1
and 2 outlined above to disengage the cam gear. When the
cam gear is disengaged, it should be advanced slightly in a
counterclockwise direction.
For additional troubleshooting information, see the
troubleshooting guide (Table 10), which may help determine
the problem and potentially solve the problem. If consulting
the troubleshooting guide fails to resolve the problem, contact
your authorized Hamilton Beach dealer or qualified plumbing
professional. If further assistance is required, call 800.685.8440.
The switch will then activate the motor to cause the cam gear
to advance through all the cycles in about 30 minutes. The
control will not recognize a fast mode as a regeneration. Manual
regenerations can be initiated only by pressing the manual
regeneration switch on the face of the control.
