But the benefits don’t stop there.

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE Your hair and skin will thank you—from the shower, to your softer-than-ever sheets. Soft, cleaner water is the instant boost your body never knew it needed, and the best beauty sleep you’ll ever have.

TASTE THE DIFFERENCE More delicious than ever. When it comes to drinking and cooking, experience what cleaner water really tastes like without objectionable odors and contaminants.

Enjoy the bold taste of coffee, and cook with the best tasting water in town. Calcium and magnesium can form tough limescale on your small appliances—like your coffee pot. Keep those small appliances humming along.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE Keep your brights, bright, and your whites, white. Your favorite t-shirt and jeans are guaranteed to last up to 33% longer.

Streak and spot-free dishes. No more countless hours spent scrubbing in the kitchen. Your dishware stays crystal clear so your schedule can stay clear, too.

WATER SOFTENER SAVINGS At Hague, we’re driven to guarantee that you can feel, see and taste the difference.

Give your bank account a break on costly repairs, save on cleaning supplies, and give your appliances extended life with Hague Quality Water International.

SAVE YOUR TIME. KEEP YOUR SUNDAYS. Scale build-up caused by hard water doesn’t have to take over your weekends.

• Leave the cleaning products at the store and save up to 75% on the cost of cleaning supplies.

• Never again spend time scrubbing away hard water spots and stains.

• Save your favorite t-shirt and sleep on your favorite sheets for longer with soft water.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. ONLY WATER DOWN THE DRAIN. Hard water is hard on your plumbing and water heater.

COMMON WATER PROBLEMS Water from your tap can look, smell, and taste just fine. However, it might be carrying minerals like calcium and magnesium, or contaminants like chlorine or lead. Your dealer can diagnose your specific water problems and help provide you with the best solution.

HARD WATER Scale — A combination of calcium and magnesium, scale can hamper your flow rate and clog your drains, creating expensive damages to your home and appliances. Also creates those more common annoyances such as water spots and stains on dishes and shower walls.

TASTE AND ODOR Chlorine/Chloramines — Used by municipal water treatment plants for disinfection. They can leave a bad taste and smell to your water along with negative effects on your skin, hair, appliances, and more.

Iron — Leaves a metallic taste in your drinking water and can lead to rust or black-colored stains on sinks, toilets, showers, and laundry.

Sulfur — Most notable for its distinct “rotten egg” smell.

CONTAMINANTS Lead — Primarily caused by old pipes in homes built before 1989. Lead in your water can be extremely dangerous to your health.

Fluoride — Commonly added by municipal water treatment plants, fluoride in high levels has been linked to tooth decay.

Nitrates/Nitrites — Most commonly found in well water due to septic tank leakage and fertilizers. In high-levels they can be life-threatening to newborns.

Radium — Exposure to radium in water has been linked to severe medical issues, such as cancer, birth defects and more.

CORROSIVENESS Acidity/Low pH — Water with a low pH level is also known as acid water. It can cause damage to sinks, faucets, hot water tanks, and drainage and supply lines leading to expensive repairs.

WATER SOFTENERS Hard water has finally met its match. Hague’s cutting edge water softeners do the work for you - making sure your entire house enjoys the benefits of soft water.

HOW A WATER SOFTENER WORKS Cutting edge design, built for every day. With nine patents obtained and more on the way, Hague doesn’t just engineer soft water, we guarantee it. Here’s how it works.

WHAT IS HARD WATER Hard water is tough on your appliances, skin, hair and your daily routine. It’s defined by how much calcium and magnesium your water contains. The white residue they leave behind can build up in your pipes, shorten your appliances’ lifespan, add to your weekly cleaning ritual, increase your utility bills and repair costs, and act tough on your skin and hair.

Soft Water

Crafted by science. Made for every day. Water softeners from Hague are packed with resin beads, meaning your hard water flows through the resin and—in a process called ion exchange—trades places with sodium ions via the resin beads. So, you get soft water for your whole family, everywhere in your home.

But that’s not the end of the journey.

WE’LL TAKE CARE OF THE MAINTENANCE Maintenance is now on us. With the Hague WaterMax®, you never have to change the dirt and sediment filter—ever.

We make that possible through a process called regeneration, consisting of four cycles: Backwash, Brine/Rinse, a second Backwash, and Refill. No need to worry—this process uses less water than it takes to fill the average bathtub.

SMALLER IS SMARTER™ When it comes to water softeners, bigger does not mean better. Hague softeners use a fine mesh resin—which means that our smaller beads provide more surface area to soften your water more efficiently. This resin is vacuum-packed to allow maximum capacity in a minimal space. Plus, our patented Directional Flow Screens help ensure that no resin bead goes unused. Our screens and built-in dirt and sediment filter also protect the resin bed, so no space is wasted.

WATERMAX® FINALLY CUSTOMIZE YOUR SOFT WATER. Say hello to soft water. Fully customizable and designed with precision, the WaterMax is utility-friendly and gets you fresher, soft water from every tap in your home, every time.

Beyond cleaner dishes, softer clothes, reduced scale on plumbing, and longer lasting appliances, the WaterMax delivers many additional features that save energy, time, and money. From computerized, fully-customizable controls to the ease of a built-in dirt and sediment filter, the WaterMax provides years of worry-free water treatment.

System Specs: Dimensions: 38” x 30” x 15” 10-Year Limited Warranty

WATERMAX® FEATURES Built-In Bypass — Bypass the water softener whenever you need it, so you can water your lawn, salt-free.

Smart Touch Controller — Your dealer can customize settings for your specific water needs.

Audible Salt Alerts — Know exactly when your softener needs more salt. No more guessing.

Built-in Dirt & Sediment Filter — Save money with the built-in pre-filter. No more filter changes­­—ever.

Fast, Quiet Regeneration — Renew the resin beads quickly and quietly with as little water wasted as possible.

Power-Loss Protection — Save your customized settings, just in case of power loss.

WATER TREATMENT - CONVENTIONAL VS WATERMAX® Conventional water softeners can lead to channeling or tunneling that results in wasted salt and filtration media. With the WaterMax, you can put those softener issues behind you.

CONVENTIONAL Conventional water treatment units have a design flaw that leads to decreased efficiency in water softeners. The result is wasted media—bad for your water, bad for your home, and bad for your wallet.

This outdated design does not have the flexibility to be fully customized for your specific water solution. The end result could be a clunky water treatment system consisting of multiple softeners or filters.

WATERMAX® MEDIA GUIDE Supercharge your WaterMax. Engineered by science, add-on filtration for the WaterMax is fully-customizable and works to target selected contaminants, so you get soft, cleaner water, every time. Every WaterMax is built with Fine Mesh Resin and Bacteriastat. Here’s why:

FINE MESH RESIN Small, yet mighty, our fine mesh resin works best with a packed bed—this means no wasted space in your softener. Fine mesh resin has an average bead size that is 23% smaller than standard mesh resin. With smaller beads, the ion exchange process happens more quickly. The result is less salt, less water wasted, and less time needed to regenerate compared to standard mesh resin at the same capacity.

BACTERIASTAT Listed with the USEPA as a Bacteriastat device and located in the bottom of your WaterMax, it protects your media from bacteria growth. Bacteriastat is an agent that keeps your water softener from developing unsavory smells and odors.

CUSTOM MEDIA SOLUTIONS Because sometimes your water problems aren’t just limited to hard water—customize your WaterMax using add-on filters for your softener, and get the soft, cleaner water you deserve. In addition to the fine mesh resin and bacteriostat, here’s a look at what the WaterMax media can do for you.

CHLOROSTAT (KDF55)

NITRATE SELECT RESIN

Using a 1:1 combination of high purity copper-zinc granules and the redox principal, our chlorostat media works to effectively reduce chlorine (chlorostat-KDF55), heavy metals a nd control micro-organisms from municipal water supplies.

Most commonly found in well water due to septic tank leakage and fertilizers, our nitrate select resin uses sodium chloride to regenerate the anion resin. The anion resin reduces nitrates from your supply.

TANNIN RESIN A strong-base, anion-exchange resin, is engineered to ensure excellent reduction of organic matter (tannins).

PC CARBON Media made from select grades of coconut shells, our PC Carbon reduces taste, odor, and most man-made pollutants from water, including chlorine.

CUSTOM MEDIA SOLUTIONS (CONT.) CALCITE Neutralize acidic/low pH water. Using crushed and screened white marble media, our calcite effectively balances your water to cease damage on sinks, hot water tanks, faucets, and more.

BIRM Used for the reduction of dissolved iron and manganese from water supplies. The dissolved oxygen content must equal at least 15% of the iron content with a pH of 6.8 or more.

ULTRA-FIL Engineered from garnet, this high-density granular filter media targets sediment with ease filtering down to 20 microns.

SULFURSTAT (KDF85) No more cleaning up stains on sinks and drains. 85% copper and 15% zinc, our high-purity copper-zinc granules effectively reduce ferrous iron, hydrogen sulfide, and heavy metals.

GREENSANDPLUS This pre-filter is placed in front of your softener to pre-treat your water. Using our manganese-dioxide surface of GreensandPlus, our black filter media acts as a catalyst for removing soluble iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water.

HOMEGUARD POWERFUL PERFORMANCE. HALF THE SPACE. Small enough to fit in areas with limited space such as boats, RV’s, condos and apartments, this softener is a tiny, low-maintenance powerhouse. Save time and money with built-in salt and water-saving technology.

Patented packed mineral bed eliminates the need for a second tank.

The perfect companion for your hot water heater, soften water as it enters your home to keep your plumbing scale-free and your water heater performing as efficiently as it did on day one.

HYDROCLEAN FILTERS

IRON FILTER Understanding the Effects of Iron on Your Water Iron is one of the most common, naturally-occurring contaminants in well water. While it’s not necessarily a health concern at normal levels, at higher concentrations it can cause an objectionable metallic taste and orange or rust-colored staining on sinks, toilet, bathtubs, and clothes. These stains can be tough to clean and expensive to repair.

Iron Filter Benefits Let Hague do the heavy-lifting — this automatic, four-phase oxidizing system is engineered to treat iron, iron bacteria and hydrogen sulfide.

The Hydroclean Iron Filter comes with a unique double backwash system that is tested and proven to filter iron.

ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER Understanding the Effects of Chlorine on Your Water Used by municipal water treatment plants for disinfection, chlorine/chloramines can have a bad taste and odor along with negative effects on your skin, hair, appliances, and more.

Activated Carbon Filter Benefits Automated, self-sufficient — our automatic carbon filter is the answer to your foul tasting and smelling water. Efficiently designed with an activated carbon filtering bed to reduce chlorine taste and odor, so you can enjoy your water again.

ACID NEUTRALIZER Understanding the Effects of Acid Water on Your Appliances Water with a low pH level (with a potential of Hydrogen) is called acid water. Acid water damages dishes and stemware, and is harmful to expensive plumbing fixtures, leaving a bluish-green stain, and a hole in your pocketbook.

Acid Neutralizer Benefits Clear appliances, happy you — our Acid Neutralizer automatically corrects low pH water, so you can see the clarity in your dishware, lengthen the lifespan of your appliances, and save time and money on cleaning and repair costs.

REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTERS The only filtration method proven to reduce fluoride. Our RO systems force water through a membrane to capture the smallest particles. Hague has RO systems available with a permeate pump, too, so you can enjoy cleaner water with a faster flow from your designated faucet.

BENEFITS OF REVERSE OSMOSIS Reverse Osmosis (RO) uses a membrane that captures the smallest particles. RO removes the most contaminants out of all methods of water filtration. Proven for effectiveness and shown to positively impact health, RO is at the forefront of cleaner, healthier water.

Typical Installation

HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS WORKS The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines Reverse Osmosis as units that “force water through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure, leaving contaminants behind�. RO requires a considerable amount of water pressure.

Reverse Osmosis is considered the best available technology by the EPA when it comes to removing uranium, radium and other radionuclides. It is the only type of filter capable of removing small contaminants like fluoride.

Hague Reverse Osmosis Systems have carefully engineered membranes that stand up to daily use. They filter even the smallest particles and include additional steps to ensure that the water it provides is both cleaner and healthier.

H6500 Reverse Osmosis, now 5x faster. Designed with a permeate pump, the H6500 pushes water through the filtration membrane for cleaner, healthier water without the pressure drop.

HOW IT WORKS Unfiltered water enters your system through the cold water line under your kitchen sink.

The water is forced through a solid carbon block that reduces lead, cysts, and chlorine taste and odor.

Your cold water straight from your kitchen faucet is cleaner, and healthier for all of your drinking and cooking needs.

IRON BREAKER FILTER Chemical-free iron removal. Removing iron and sulfur no longer requires harsh chemicals or complicated equipment. The Iron Breaker’s patented technology uses nature’s own oxidation process to eliminate iron and sulfur, so you can enjoy your water again.

• No pressure drop — engineered to keep your flow rate up to 5GPM. • Fit for any size — clocking in at 10" x 62", the Iron Breaker can fit in any corner.

• Cleaner Plumbing — filtration media traps iron/sulfur and removes it from your water before it enters your pipes.

HOW IT WORKS The 800 Iron Filter stores a “bubble” of air, compressed by your well pressure, within the media tank. As your water passes through the air, the iron or sulfur is converted to a particle, which is then trapped by the catalytic filter media in the tank while the air “bubble” is gradually consumed by the passing water.

For regeneration the unit first “backwashes” itself, removing any iron or sulfur particles it has trapped. Next, the system replenishes the “air bubble” by drawing in air temporarily emptying the tank of all water and transferring oxygen molecules into (and on the surface of) the media bed to let it oxidize. Finally, the system then returns to the “service” position, filtering your water once again.

Form # XXXX

1.

Models 3MAQ, 3BEQ, 3MXQ, 2AMQ and 2APQ are certified by WQA for barium and radium reduction as verified and substantiated by test data. All other models are not certified by WQA and make no health claims.

2. Municipally supplied chlorinated water only.

3. Calcite will add additional hardness to water before softening.

4. Any hardness over 10 gpg (0.17 grams/liter) will increase the chance of calcium carbonate precipitation. As the hardness increases so does the chance of this precipitation. Must use citric acid to regenerate along with salt.

5. Regeneration every 96 hours is required when iron is present in the raw water supply unless noted otherwise. Use Salt Setting #3 or #4.

6. Iron reduction claims limited to 5 ppm in the state of Wisconsin.

7. Must have a minimum of 2 ppm iron and a minimum of 200 ppm TDS. 8. When adding media in the field, check for proper settings. (See Water Conditioner Specifications, above.)

9. Rate of flow must be verified at the end of 1/2-inch I.D. drain line.

10. This model has no backwash flow control button or retainer. Must have a minimum of 7 gpm @ 30 psi (26.5 L/min @ 2.1 bar) available for proper backwash.

11. For the purposes of plumbing appliance sizing, only the rated service flow rate and corresponding pressure loss may be used. Prolonged operation of a water softener at flow rates exceeding the tested service flow rate of 8 gpm (30.3 L/min) may compromise performance.
