Getting Maximum Efficiency From the Appliance
To achieve the maximum benefit and performance
from this appliance, familiarize yourself with this
manual and the appliance.
1. The salt level should always be at least 1/3 full.
Refill the salt when the level drops below the
water level in the brine cabinet. A resin cleaner
can be used on a monthly basis. A clean pellet,
solar, or cube-type salt is recommended. Do
not use rock salt.
5. The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To
disinfect the appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces of
chlorine bleach solution to the brine well of the
brine tank. The brine tank should have water in
it. Start a manual regeneration.
6. Protect the appliance, including the drain line,
from freezing.
7. The bypass valve (located on the main control
valve) enables you to bypass the appliance if
any work is being performed on the appliance,
well pump, or plumbing. See Bypass Valve.
Use it also for watering plants or lawns with
untreated water. To bypass, turn the blue
cone-shaped knob counterclockwise until it
stops; turn it clockwise to restore service.
8. Before putting the appliance back in service
after work has been performed, turn on the
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.
9. Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
Caution: Do not mix different types of salt.
2. You may use a salt substitute (such as
potassium chloride) in place of water
conditioner salt. A Hague dealer should be
contacted before a switch is made to a salt
substitute. If potassium chloride is used in
place of salt, the technician should select the
potassium option during the programming of
the controller. See Service Settings.
Caution: Do not use potassium chloride if there
is iron and/or manganese in the water.
3. Program the appliance to regenerate at a time
when the water is not being used. If there is
more than one appliance, allow two hours
between each regeneration.
4. If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate Hague filter can
eliminate this problem. See WaterMax® Filter
Specifications.
10. Inspect and clean the brine tank and air
check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine tank.
11. Potassium permanganate will need to be added
periodically to any iron filter.
Six-Button Controller
This appliance features a six-button controller with
an LCD display. The controller can be used to view
the appliance’s status, perform regenerations, and
change settings. An independent Hague dealer
should set the Service Settings during installation of
the appliance.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Checklist Before Installation
Refer to this checklist before each installation.
$ Water Quality—If the water supply contains sand, sulfur, bacteria, iron bacteria, tannins, algae, oil, acid, or
other unusual substances, consider pre-treating the water to remove these contaminants before the water
supply enters the appliance, unless the appliance is represented as being capable of treating these
contaminants in its specifications.
The appropriate WaterMax® Water Filter can address these water shortcomings. See WaterMax® Filter
Specifications for details on each filter.
$ Iron—A common problem found in many water supplies is iron. It is important to know what type of and how
much iron is in the water supply.
Iron Type
Ferrous Iron*
Description
(sometimes called clear
water or dissolved iron)
Only type of iron that can be treated with a water softener
Insoluble and the particles can eventually foul a resin bed. It should be filtered out before the
water reaches the softener
Ferric Iron
Organic Iron or Bacterial Attached to other organic compounds in the water. Additional treatment is needed to remove
Iron
this type of iron
Colloidal Iron
Not dissolved, yet stays in suspension. A softener cannot remove this type of iron
* If the water supply contains ferrous iron, a commercially available resin bed cleaner should be used every six months.
$ Water Pressure—Not less than 20 psi or greater than 120 psi (1.4–8.4 bar) constant. If water pressure
exceeds 70 psi, a pressure regulator is recommended.
$ Water Supply Flow Rate—A minimum of 3 gallons per minute or equal to the backwash flow rate of the
particular model is recommended. For the purposes of plumbing sizing, only the rated service flow rate and
corresponding pressure loss may be used. Prolonged operation of a water conditioner at flow rates exceeding
the tested service flow rate may compromise performance.
$ Water Temperature—Not less than 40° or greater than 120°F (6°–49°C).
$ Drain—Drain the appliance to an appropriate drain, such as a floor drain or washer drain that will comply with
all local and state plumbing codes. To prevent back-siphoning, provide an adequate air gap or a siphon break.
See Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures.
$ Electricity—The transformer supplied is for a standard 115 volt, 60-cycle AC outlet for locations in North
America or 220 volt, 50-cycle AC outlet for locations outside North America.

Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures
Step 1
Prepare the Placement Area
A. Make sure the placement area is clean.
B. Turn off the electricity and water supply to the water heater. For gas water heaters, turn the
gas cock to “Pilot.”
C. Examine the inlet plumbing to ensure that the pipe is not plugged with lime, iron, or any
other substance. Clean or replace plugged plumbing.
D. Make sure the inlet/outlet and drain connections meet the applicable state and local codes.
E. Check the arrows on the bypass valve to ensure that the water flows in the proper direction.
See Bypass Valve.
Caution: Do not plumb the appliance in backward.
F. Place the appliance in the desired location using Figure 2 as a guide.
G. For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank and any water filter
appliance or water meter and before the water heater unless otherwise recommended.
When installing a carbon filter for well water, place the filter after any water conditioning
appliance unless otherwise recommended.
Caution: If less than 10' of pipe connects the water treatment appliance(s) to the water
heater, install a check valve between the water treatment appliance and the water heater as
close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the water heater has an adequately rated
temperature and pressure safety relief valve.
H. For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the
weather.

Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Turn Off Water Supply
A. Turn off the water supply.
B. Open the hot and cold water taps to depressurize the lines.
Connect Water Lines
A. Connect water lines in compliance with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical
codes.
Connect the Brine Tank
A. Connect the brine tank to the valve head with the flexible 3/8" plastic tube included with the
appliance. Insert the plastic insert in the end of the brine tube. See Figure 18.
Connect Gravity Overflow Connections
A. The overflow elbows on each cabinet are shipped in the up position. Rotate the overflow
elbows to the down position.
B. Connect the overflow lines to each cabinet. The overflow line drains excess water to a floor
drain should the tank fill with too much water or the appliance malfunctions.
C. Connect 1/2" I.D. tubing (size cannot be reduced) between the overflow fitting and a suitable
waste receptor. This tubing is not supplied with the appliance. Ensure that the overflow line
ends at a drain that is at least 3" lower than the bottom of the overflow fitting. The gravity
line cannot be run overhead.
Step 6
Connect Drain Line
A. Connect the drain line to the drain end cap with a tube fitting (not supplied). The drain line
must be a minimum of 1/2" I.D. tubing.
B. Route the drain line to a floor drain, laundry tub, or other suitable waste receptor. Maintain a
minimum 2" air gap between the drain line and the flood level rim of the waste receptor to
prevent back-siphoning. This drain line should make the shortest run to the suitable drain.
C. The drain line may be elevated up to 8 feet from the discharge on the appliance as long as
the water pressure in your system is 40 psi or more.
D. If the drain line is 25 feet or longer, increase the drain line to 3/4-inch I.D. The end of the
drain line must be equal to or lower in height than the control valve.
Caution: The drain line must not be kinked, crimped, or restricted in any way.
Step 7
Flush Lines
A. Place the appliance in the bypass position and turn on the main water supply.
B. Open the nearest cold water faucet to flush the plumbing of any excess soldering flux, air, or
any other foreign material.

1. Turn off the main water supply.
2. Open a cold water faucet to depressurize the lines.
3. Close the faucet to eliminate any siphoning action.
4. Repair all leaks.
5. Turn on the water supply.
6. Place the bypass in the “Service” position to slowly fill the appliance.
7. Open a cold water faucet to purge air out of the appliance.
8. Close the faucet and recheck for leaks.
Step 9
Plug in the Transformer
A. Connect the transformer power cord to the back of the controller.
B. Plug the transformer into an appropriate outlet.
C. Ensure that the outlet selected is not operated by an On/Off switch.
Step 10 Set Up the Controller
A. Program the appliance controller. See Setting and Using the Controller.
Step 11 Add Water to the Brine Tank
A. Add water to the brine tank to a minimum of 2" above the grid plate. After the first
regeneration, the appliance will automatically refill the correct amount of water into the brine
tank.
B. Ensure that the salt dosage is set as recommended for the application.
C. Initiate a manual regeneration (see Setting and Using the Controller) and inspect for proper
operation. Allow the appliance to draw all the water out of the brine cabinet until the air
check/draw tube sets.
D. Press the Regenerate button to advance to the Brine Refill position. Let the tank fill with the
proper amount of water. The controller will then step the valve to the Home position.
Note: This initial startup is the only time you will add water to the brine tank. Do not add
water at any other time.
Step 12 Fill the Brine Tank With Salt
A. Fill the brine tank with salt. Use clean, white pellet or solar salt. Do not mix pellet with solar
salt.
Note: Always keep the salt level above the water level. For convenience, completely fill the
tank when refilling with salt.
B. After you add salt, including adding it after the tank has run out of salt, wait two hours for
saturated brine before starting any regeneration.
Caution: Use of potassium chloride when iron and/or manganese are present in the raw
water supply is not recommended.

Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
Step 13 Complete the Installation
A. Open the inlet valve and turn on the electricity to the water heater. For gas water heaters,
return the gas cock to “On.”
B. Open a cold water tap and allow the appliance to flush for 20 minutes or until approximately
72 gallons have passed through the appliance. This procedure is required to meet NSF
compliance. Verify the flow rate on the controller, which indicates water flow. See Figure 1.
C. Ensure that the bypass is left in the “Service” position. See Bypass Valve.
D. Adjust the blending valve if it is being used. See Blending Valve.
E. Test the water at the test port to verify soft water.
F. Place the covers on both of the cabinets.
Bypass Valve
The bypass valve can isolate the appliance should the appliance malfunction or leak. It can also permit the use
of untreated water for watering plants, shrubs, or lawns.
The bypass is located on the main control valve. See Figure 3. To engage the bypass, locate the blue
cone-shaped knob on the right-hand side (facing the front of the appliance), behind the controller. Turn the
knob counterclockwise until it stops. Do not overtighten. The appliance will be bypassed and all water to the
home is raw, untreated water. To prevent untreated water from entering the home, water should not be used
inside the home when the appliance is in bypass mode. Ensure that the appliance is returned to service mode
when the appliance is repaired or the use of untreated water is complete by turning the knob clockwise until it
stops.

Blending Valve
In some situations, the blending valve may be used to decrease water softness. The amount of hardness
blended back into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the
blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to be “cracked” open.
Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the blending valve will need to be opened
further.
The blending valve is located between the input and output connections on the top of the bypass valve. See
Figure 3. It is adjusted by placing a flat blade screwdriver in the slot provided and turning clockwise to open.
Total movement of the blending valve from full closed to full open is 1/4 revolution. Precise setting of the
blending valve will require “trial and error” testing. The initial setting should be conservative. Because of the
blending valve’s ease of access and adjustment, the user can increase or decrease the setting according to
their preference over a period of time.
Use of the blending valve is not recommended where objectionable concentrations of ferrous iron or sediment
are present. Because the blending valve is mixing “raw” water with softened, any ferrous iron or sediment in the
“raw” water will also be blended and reintroduced into the softened water line.
Note: If the appliance is installed for barium and/or radium reduction, the blending valve must remain in the fully
closed position at all times.
Setting and Using the Controller
The controller must be set up correctly for the appliance to perform properly.
Note: Ensure that the bottom of the controller is firmly locked onto the four tabs on the top of the drive end cap
assembly. See Cabinet and Cover Assemblies diagram later in this manual.
Regenerate Button
The Regenerate button is used when starting the water filtration appliance and to start an immediate
regeneration. The Regenerate button can be used in two ways:
1. The Regenerate button can be used to put the appliance into an immediate regeneration.
A. Press and hold the Regenerate button for about five seconds until
the display changes to “Going to.”
B. The appliance is in regeneration mode and will display the status
of each cycle. After all regeneration cycles are complete, the
display will return to normal operating mode.
2. The Regenerate button can be used to quickly advance through all of
the regeneration cycles to speed up the cycles, which is used when
starting up or diagnosing the appliance only.
A. To advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold the
Regenerate button for about five seconds until the display
changes to “Going to.”
B. The cycle position will display (for example, Backwash 1).
C. Each cycle can be advanced by pressing the Regenerate button.
Always wait until the cycle position displays before advancing to
the next cycle position.

Operating Modes
The controller has a Timer mode (Mode 1 Frequency and Mode 1 Days of the Week), a Demand Delayed mode
(Mode 2), and a Demand Immediate mode (Mode 3). These modes are equipped with Capacity Guard®, which
ensures that a supply of conditioned water will be available even with excessive water usage.
Mode 1—Timer Mode
When the appliance is in Mode 1 Frequency, it will regenerate based on the frequency that is set, for example
every two days or up to every 12 days. The days between regenerations can be set. When the appliance is in
Mode 1 Days of the Week, it will regenerate on a specific day or days of the week. The display will show:
Regen SMTWTFS
Days
YYYYYYY
Use the Select and Change Digit buttons to eliminate the days NOT to regenerate. The display will show the
days to regenerate.
Regen SMTWTFS
Days
Y Y Y
Mode 2—Demand Delayed Mode
When the appliance is in the Patented Savematic Demand Delayed mode, it will regenerate based on the
actual water usage and the total capacity of the appliance. The time that the regeneration takes place can be
set, for example 2:00 AM. Should the total capacity be depleted before the set regeneration time, a forced
regeneration will occur.
Mode 3—Demand Immediate Mode
When the appliance is in the Demand Immediate mode, it will regenerate based on water usage alone.
Regeneration will occur when the capacity limit is reached. The time of regeneration cannot be set.
72–96 Hour Regeneration
If this value is set to Yes, the appliance will be forced to regenerate every 96 hours unless a regeneration
based on water usage occurs within the time interval. The value should always be set to Yes if iron is present in
the water.

62AJQ Replenishment Procedure
The neutralizing media that adjusts the pH level of the water must be refilled periodically. Typically, this media
is calcite and is available from Hague. To refill the neutralizing media, measure the appliance’s media bed
depth upon installation (factory freeboard). Use this measurement to determine the amount of media to add to
maintain optimum performance of the 62AJQ.
Tools and Materials Needed
The following tools and materials are needed to replace the neutralizing media:
ꢀ Analog scale (do not use digital)
ꢀ Steel tape measure
ꢀ 5-gallon bucket with handle
ꢀ 1/2" siphon hose
ꢀ Funnel with 1" fill tube
ꢀ 12" wooden ruler or dowel rod
ꢀ 3/4" socket
ꢀ Replacement media (P/N M050)
Replenishment Procedure
The replenishment procedure is as follows:
Step 1
Turn Off the Water
A. Turn off the water to the appliance.
B. Open a tap to depressurize the appliance.

Remove Water From Media Tank
A. Remove the fill plug from the media tank using a
3/4" socket.
B. Insert the siphon hose into the fill port.
C. Siphon the water into the bucket down to the
media level in the tank.
Step 3
Calculate Amount of Media to Add
A. Measure the freeboard distance from the top of
the fill plug to the media. See Figure 5.
Note: The recommended freeboard distance is
4-3/4".
B. Add five pounds of media per inch below 4-3/4".
Example:
Measured freeboard
Minus factory freeboard
Adjusted freeboard
6-3/4"
- 4-3/4"
2"
Replenishment equals 5 lb media x 2" (adjusted freeboard)
= 10 lb media.

61AAN WaterMax® Iron Filter Sizing Formula
The WaterMax® Iron Filter may be programmed to regenerate every one to twelve days. Select the frequency
based on the amount of iron in the water and the number of people in the household. For optimum
performance, program the water softener to regenerate first, followed by the Iron Filter.
Example: Softener 1:00 am; Iron Filter 3:00 am. See the 61AAN WaterMax® Iron Filter Sizing Formula.

Iron Filter and Potassium Feeder Installation Guide
Important: The 61AAN is capable of treating a combination of undesirable constituents in the water (iron,
manganese, and/or hydrogen sulfide). However, the filter must be applied within the operating limits stated in
the WaterMax® Filter Specifications in this manual. Failure to comply with these specifications will degrade
performance and possibly cause the control valve to malfunction.
Note: The iron filter should be installed after the pressure tank or water meter and before the water heater or
any water softener appliance, unless otherwise recommended. See Figure 6. A minimum 3/4" pipe is required
for proper function of the filter. Examine the inlet piping to make sure the pipe is not plugged with lime or iron. If
the piping is plugged, it must be cleaned or replaced.
Figure 6: Iron Filter and Potassium Feeder Placement
Installation Tip: To install the filter, follow steps 1–10 of Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, excluding
Step 4—Connect the Brine Tank. Instead, connect the potassium permanganate feeder as outlined on the
following page.
Caution: Do not adjust the float assembly. This feeder is preset for a 4-ounce feed of potassium
permanganate. Use care when working with potassium permanganate. Follow instructions printed on the cover
of the feeder as well as the instructions on the potassium permanganate container.

93810 Injector
Screen
Acts as a pre-filter to keep debris from entering the Injector Nozzle (93221) and Throat (93223).
Attaches to the cylinder on the Nozzle plate and spherical “bump” inside the Valve Body. Some
compression of the screen may occur during assembly. The opening in the screen must be clear
to ensure proper flow to the Injector assembly.
93223 Injector
Throat
In conjunction with the Injector Nozzle (93221) it creates the vacuum that draws the brine solution
from the brine cabinet. The center hole should be clear of debris, round, and undamaged. The
Throat should be pressed flush into the opening in the valve. If the Throat is removed, it must be
replaced with a new one.
93220 Thick Injector Seals between the Injector Nozzle (93221) and the Main Valve Body. The gasket has a definite
Seal
hole pattern that has to match up with the Nozzle and the Main Valve Body opening. The gasket
seals at its outer edges and between the inlet screen and nozzle opening. These areas must be
free of defects, such as tears or pits, and be free of debris.
93221 Injector
Nozzle
Together with the Throat (93223) creates the vacuum that draws the brine solution from the Brine
Cabinet. There are two openings in the Nozzle (93221) plate. The small hole, flush on both sides,
is the one that creates the “injection-stream” that enters the Throat. It is important that this hole is
round, undamaged, and clear of debris. If this hole becomes “clogged,” do not use anything (such
as metal objects) to clear this opening. Damage may occur. Use a clean cloth and flush with
water. If necessary, a wooden toothpick may be used. When assembling to the Valve, the Nozzle
hole should line up with the Throat.
93232 Top Injector
Seal (Thin)
Seals between the Injector Nozzle (93221) and Injector Cap (93222). The gasket must be free of
defects, such as tears or cuts, and be free of debris.
93222 Injector Cap
Holds the injector assembly together and seals the assembly to the Main Valve Body. The four
machine screws should be tightened evenly and be “snug.”

Assembly and Parts, Cont.
Bypass Assembly Cont.
90262 Bypass
End Cap—Left;
90263 Bypass
End Cap—Right
Seals the left/right Piston opening on the Housing (90246). The opening is sealed with an O-Ring
used as an axial or “face” seal. The O-Ring sits in a groove in the End Cap. This groove must be free
of defects such as pits or scratches and also free of debris. When assembling the End Cap to the
Housing, care should be taken to make sure that the O-Ring stays in the groove in the End Cap. If
misaligned, the O-Ring can become pinched and leak. On the Left End Cap is the Piston Axle, a 1/4"
square shaft that acts as a guide/slide and anti-turning mechanism for the Bypass Piston. On the
Right End Cap is the guide/bushing for the Bypass Piston Drive Shaft (90218). There is an O-Ring
seal at the opening for the Drive Shaft. This seal area must be free of defects such as pits or
scratches and also free of debris.
90252 Blending
Dial Cap
The Cap should be held in place by the three 1/2" screws and be in the proper orientation.
90222 Blending
Dial
The dial permits the addition of “hard water” into the soft water outlet. It is closed when pointing
toward the Main Valve Body and open when pointing toward the inlet side.
90246 Bypass
Housing
Makes the connection between the plumbing and Main Valve Body. Also, contains the “Hard Water”
Blending Valve and Bypass Piston. The recommended seal for the 1-1/4" male inlet-outlet threads is
the plastic Hook-up Nut (90251), O-Ring (90837), and Copper Adapter (90254). Make sure the O-
Ring is between the Housing and Copper Adapter. The O-Ring seal areas at the Main Valve Body
inlet and outlet must be smooth and free of defects and debris, and lubricated with silicone grease
before assembling. When attaching to the Main Valve Body, put the O-Rings on the male bosses on
the Valve Body and push the Bypass into place; if not, the O-Rings may be “pinched.” If the O-Rings
are pinched, replace with new ones. The Bypass is pre-assembled with the Sensor housing and
turbine axle. These are not field-serviceable and if damaged, must be replaced with a new assembly.
The Bypass Piston bore is to be smooth and, at the recessed areas, have a smooth transition (no
sharp corners) to the seat areas.
90616 Bypass
The white Teflon Hydro-slide O-Ring covers should be free of defects such as indentations and cuts.
Piston Assembly The Piston should move freely into and out of the Bypass Housing (90246) without damaging the
Hydro-slides. If the Hydro-slides catch, tear or crimp, the Housing should be replaced.
Note: Some compression will occur when the Hydro-slides pass through the seal areas.
90218 Bypass
Piston Drive
Shaft
The Drive Shaft has an acme thread which is used to move the Piston from “bypass” to “service”
position. When operating the Bypass, to achieve either “service” or “bypass,” it is only necessary to
turn the Handle (90221) until the Piston (90616) stops. Additional pressure (torque) will not improve
the seal. Once the Piston reaches the stop at either position, it can be backed off up to one half turn
of the handle and still achieve a seal.
90226 Test Port
Valve
The Test Port Valve is used to draw water samples for testing of treated water.
Note: The Bypass must be in the “service” position to get an accurate sample. There are two types of
seals on the Test Port. One seal is an O-Ring which seals off the threaded area when the Valve is
opened. The other seal is a compression O-Ring seal between the Test Port Valve material and the
Right End Cap material. If this seal is “overtightened,” it can damage the O-Ring and cause a
permanent leak.
93860 Turbine
Sensor Wire
Picks up the magnetic field from the Turbine and relays it to the Controller. Care should be taken
when putting the Sensor Wire into the Sensor Housing. The cap is then put in place and the mounting
screw is installed. A slot is provided in the cap for the wire to exit. The three-wire socket connector
must be properly installed in the controller. Stops on the connector prevent improper (upside down)
assembly. Do not force the connector past the stops.
90522 Turbine
Assembly
The turbine must have a 1/8" diameter Rare Earth magnet pressed into place adjacent to the axle
opening. When assembled to the axle, the Turbine should spin freely. Do not use any lubricants. If the
Turbine should become “jammed,” clean and flush the Turbine and Bypass Valve.

90217
Drive Motor
The Motor is held in place by two 1/2" screws. The screws should be “snug.” The brass pinion gear on
the Motor should engage the plastic Drive Gear. The wires should be securely fastened to the Control.
93238 Drive Gear The Drive Gear is assembled to the Slide Cam by means of a “keyed” opening which transfers the
“torque” generated by the Motor to the rest of the drive system. If the drive system becomes jammed,
this opening can become “rounded” causing the gear to turn, but not the Piston Slide Cam. If this
occurs, clear the jam and replace the Drive Gear and Piston Slide Cam (93217).
93219 Piston
The cover secures the Piston Slide Cam (93217) in place and acts as a bushing for the Cam Shaft.
Slide Cam Cover
93217
Piston Slide Cam
This is the “heart” of the drive system. There is a threaded stainless steel shaft that runs through the
main drive axle. The Drive Gear is attached at the short end and the Magnet Disc at the other end.
The Slide Cam is assembled inside of the Piston Slide (54202). This Cam Shaft should turn freely
before the Motor is assembled.
93583
Drive End Cap
Seals the two openings on the Main Valve Body. The larger diameter opening is sealed with an O-
Ring used as an axial or “face” seal. The O-Ring sits in a groove in the End Cap. This groove must be
free of defects such as pits or scratches and also free of debris. The smaller diameter seal is
accomplished with an O-Ring used as a radial seal. The O-Ring should be placed on the male boss
on the End Cap. When assembling the End Cap to the Valve Body, care should be taken to make
sure the small O-Ring is aligned with the opening in the Valve Body and that the large O-Ring stays in
the groove in the End Cap. If misaligned, the O-Rings can become pinched and leak.
54202
The Slide should move freely inside the End Cap Housing.
Piston Slide
93601-JG Brine
Valve Housing
Assembly
Attaches to the Drive End Cap with two 3/4" thread cutting screws and has one O-Ring seal. The
O-Ring is used as a axial or face seal. The O-Ring sits in a groove in the Brine Valve Housing. The
groove and the face seal must be free of defects such as pits and scratches or debris.
53522 Drive
The Drive Piston attaches to the Piston Slide (54202) by placing the “slot” of the Piston onto the
Piston Assembly matching flat of the Slide. To remove Piston, rotate Piston 90° counterclockwise. To replace Piston,
rotate 90° clockwise until you hear an audible “click.” See reference drawings below.

53511 Brine
Piston
The Piston should have an O-Ring on the shaft side of the flange and a spring pressed onto a boss on
the other side. The O-Ring should be free of defects such as cuts or debris on the shaft side.
53510 Housing
Just inside the entrance hole for the Brine Piston (53511) is a concave seat area that must be free of
defects such as nicks, indentations, or debris. This seat area ensures a leak-free seal for the static O-
Ring on the Brine Piston. If any defects are detected by visual inspection, repair or replace as needed.
90843 0.5 gpm
Flow Control
The Flow Button has two distinct and different sides. One is “flat”; the other is “concave.” The button
should be centered in the housing opening with the four locator “ribs” with the concave side facing the
Housing End Cap (93247).
93247 Housing
End Cap
The Cap is held in place by two 3/4" thread cutting screws that engage the Housing flange. An O-Ring
seals the Cap and Housing. Place the O-Ring into the housing opening, lubricate with silicone grease
and then using a twisting action, pressure insert the Cap.
Caution: The 3/8" locking clip (200199) must be installed to prevent air from being drawn into the
appliance during brine rinse.

Calcite will add additional hardness to water before softening.
Any hardness over 10 gpg 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.
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.
Must have a minimum of 2 ppm iron and a minimum of 200 ppm TDS.
When adding media in the field, check for proper settings. (See Specifications, above.)
Rate of flow must be verified at the end of 1/2" I.D. drain line.
This model has no backwash flow control button or retainer. Must have a minimum of 7 gpm @ 30 psi available

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 may
compromise performance.

WaterMax® Filter Specifications
The following table describes the available filters.
Filter
Purpose
61AAN
Removes iron and iron algae and bacteria. Reduces manganese. Also removes up to 5 ppm Hydrogen
Sulfide with the presence of 2 ppm iron. For regeneration frequency, see 61AAN WaterMax® Filter
Sizing Formula for this model.
61AAE-BWO
61AAR-BWO
61AAS-BWO
Removes tastes, odors and will reduce most man-made pollutants. Backwash every 3 days or as
needed. Warning: Must not be backwashed for 24 hours after installation.
Removes suspended matter (turbidity) from water down to the 20–40 micron range. Backwash every
3 days or as needed.
Will raise the pH of most low pH water. The mineral media must be replenished periodically to
maintain optimum bed depth for effective correction. Backwash every 2 days to prevent solidification of
mineral media.
61AAF-BWO
Removes suspended matter (turbidity) from water down to nominal 20 microns. Backwash every
3 days or as needed.
Refer to the following specifications for the WaterMax® water filtration appliances 60 series.
