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.
