Hydrotech
HT765
Warranty: 7-year parts warranty
The HT765 is Hydrotech's most affordable Water Softener, and it punches well above its price point. It uses a straightforward electronic metered control valve that regenerates based on actual water usage, not a clock, so you only use salt when you actually need it.
Key Features
Metered regeneration saves up to 50% less salt and 28% less water vs. conventional timer-based models
User-friendly LCD display showing time of day, regeneration mode, and gallons remaining
Multiple regeneration modes: meter immediate, meter delayed, meter override, and calendar clock
Self-charging capacitor retains date and time for 48 hours during power outages; settings stored in permanent memory
NSF/ANSI 44 certified control valve and pressure tank
AquaFine® 8% cross-linked cation exchange resin (WQA Gold Seal certified)
Brine tank with safety float and injection-moulded brine grid to prevent salt bridging
Available in 6 tank sizes (0.75 to 3.0 cubic feet) to match your household's needs
Hydrotech
HT89 Series
Warranty: 7-year parts warranty
The HT89 is Hydrotech's flagship residential Water Softener and their most efficient model. It features true 1" porting for high flow rates, making it ideal for larger homes or households with multiple bathrooms and high water demand. The HT89 uses upflow (counter-current) regeneration, a more efficient method that preserves the unused portion of the resin bed and precisely calculates the exact amount of brine needed, dramatically reducing salt and water waste.
Key Features
True 1" porting for superior flow rates (up to 16 US gpm at 25 psi pressure drop)
Upflow (counter-current) regeneration: uses up to 75% less salt and 64% less water vs. conventional clock-based models
Precision brining calculates the exact brine required per regeneration cycle — up to 30% additional salt savings
Emergency regeneration: if softener capacity drops below 3%, an automatic 20-minute recharge restores soft water supply
Backwash frequency preset: skip up to 10 backwash cycles per year on clean municipal water, saving up to 2,000 gallons annually
IAPMO certified to NSF/ANSI 44
AquaFine® 8% cross-linked cation exchange resin
Available in 5 tank sizes (1.0 to 3.0 cubic feet, 30,000 to 90,000 grain capacity)
