Twin Alternating Series Water Softeners
Hurst Boiler HBM ST
Series water softeners are suitable for commercial application ranging
from 10,000 to 60,000 grains of hardness removal capacity at flows rates
of up to 280 gpm. Installations might include restaurants, car washes,
Laundromats, boilers, and other commercial applications. HBM TT is a twin
unit alternating systems where one unit is in service and the other unit
is in stand-by.
Operation of The Softener
Hard water contains dissolved minerals in the form of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg),
and Iron (Fe). Removal of these minerals is accomplished by softening the water
through an ion exchange process. As water flows through the mineral tanks, the
dissolved minerals become attached to the resin. Over a period of time the resin
will become exhausted, and the softener will regenerate using a brine solution.
Softening Media
The exchange media is a high equality strong acid softener (Caution) resin in the sodium
form with a very high whole bead count, no color throw, physically hard, and is
chlorine resist. The media combines high operating capacity with excellent chemical
and physical stability for long dependable life. Request media specifications for
details.
Controller/Meter
Regeneration cycle can be initiated by day time clock, or optional meter initiated
regeneration cycle after a preset volume of water has been softened.
Regeneration Controller
The HBM TT Series softeners are controlled by a reliable Fleck electro-mechanical controller.
The fully adjustable 5-cycle, single controller operates all steps and regeneration
cycles for both vessels, including upflow backwash, downflow brining and slow rinse,
rapid rinse refill and downflow service.
Control Valve
The sequence control valve operates on commands from the valve controller. A hydraulically
balanced piston glides effortlessly along non-corrosive spacers and seals to a
precise position. This precision motor-driven valve performs in the toughest applications
and is made of high quality brass for a long and reliable life. A single valve
regenerates and controls flow through both resin tanks.
Resin Tanks
All HBM TT Series models feature a mom-corrosive fiberglass tanks, with a one-piece
thermoplastic inner liner. The tanks have a maximum working pressure of 150 psi
and a working temperature up to 120 F. The tanks are approved by NSF, UL, and meets
WQA Standard S-100, and FDA. All fiberglass tanks carry a 5-year warranty.
Brine Tank
The brine tank is a combination brine maker and salt storage vessel and is made of
tough, high-density polyethylene and features a grid pate for maximum saturation
of brine. Larger tanks are available for extra salt storage capacity.
Brine System
Brine refill is automatically controlled by the timer/controller to provide the correct
amount of brine for each regeneration. The refill system is backed up by float
and safety valve shut-off, which minimizes the chance of overflowing the brine
tank.
Water Meter
The water meter is standard on all models. Regeneration is initiated when a preset
volume of water is used. Once the meter gallon setting zeros out, the system automatically
switches tanks and the exhausted tank goes immediately into regeneration. Once
regeneration is complete the tank goes into standby mode.
