“Excuse me, I have a question…”

Independent Hague dealers throughout the country know what customers ask most often.  Here are the questions they always seem to get…along with the answers. 
 

 
  Isn’t water just water?  
  Actually, there are three types of water. There is Utility Grade Water, Working Grade Water and Drinking Water. Utility grade water is water suited for watering your lawn and plants. It usually requires no water treatment. Working Grade Water needs to be higher quality because it runs through your plumbing, fixtures and water-using appliances. To make these essential household systems last longer and save you money, treated water is needed. Drinking Water is a key component of our lives. Since 70% of the human body is water, the water we drink and cook with must be the highest quality.  
     
  Do I need to get my water tested?  
  Yes. The test should include a minimum of hardness, iron, and pH. Your independent Hague dealer has the equipment to test your water accurately. The Hague representative can also demonstrate the value of clean, soft water – and the cost of untreated water.  
     
  Can WaterMax® be installed outside?  
  Outdoor installation is common in temperate climates. WaterMax® is designed with UV-resistant materials to allow outdoor installation.  
     
  Do I have to change filters in the WaterMax®?  
  Other than the carbon nothing needs to be changed. The whole-house sediment filter is built-in and self-cleaning. Every time the system recharges, dirt and sediment are sent down the drain.  
     
  What if I go on vacation or have guests?  
  Because of the Watermax® Systems Control, you do not have to change, alter or modify anything. If no water is used, there will not be a recharge. If you have guests, you may have additional recharges.  
     
  Why don’t all water treatment manufacturers offer a 25 year limited warranty?  
  Quality. Nobody beats Hague’s quality. Ask your independent Hague dealer for a copy.  
     
  Does WaterMax® add salt water to my water?  
  No. Potassium is used to recharge WaterMax®. During this process, the excess potassium, hardness, iron, etc. is washed down the drain. The finished water has a residual potassium carbonate proportional to the amount of dissolved metals removed from the water. This form of potassium is the same as found in a banana. Six glasses consumed would approximate the amount found in 1/2 to 1 banana. If consuming reverse osmosis system water, then less than 10% of the amount would be present.
