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 clean pellet,
solar, or cube-type salt is recommended. Do
not use rock salt.
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 must select the
potassium option during the programming of
the controller. See Service Settings.
Caution: Do not use potassium chloride if your
water contains iron and/or manganese.
3.
Should your electricity be off for any reason,
check your controller for the correct time and
reset as necessary See Customer Settings.
4.
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.
5.
If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate Hague filter can
eliminate this problem.
6.
Protect the appliance, including the drain line,
from freezing.
7.
The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To
disinfect the appliance, add 1.5 fluid ounces of
chlorine bleach solution to the brine well of the
brine cabinet. The brine cabinet should have
water in it. Start a manual regeneration.
8.
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 Bypass mode also for watering plants and
lawns with untreated water.
9.
Before putting the appliance back in service
after work has been performed, turn on the
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.
10.
Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
11.
Inspect and clean the brine cabinet and air
check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine cabinet.
12.
This product is certified for barium and radium
226/228 reduction according to NSF/ANSI
Standard 44. Any bypass system must be
completely in the Service position to ensure
maximum barium and radium 226/228
reduction.
Efficiency Statements*
This product is efficiency rated according to NSF/ANSI 44. The stated efficiencies are valid only at the specified
salt dosage and 8 gpm (30 L/min):

* An efficiency rated water softener is a Demand Initiated Regeneration softener that also complies with specific performance
specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation.
Efficiency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound
of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchange per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than
its listed rating.
Efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible efficiency that the
system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. It is typically less
than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce
the softeners' capacity.
