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. 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.

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.

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

NSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

NFORMATION

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 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 Description

Ferrous Iron* (sometimes called clear water or dissolved iron)

Ferric Iron Organic Iron or Bacterial

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 Filter can address these water shortcomings. See WaterMax®Filter

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

Attached to other organic compounds in the water. Additional treatment is needed to remove this type of iron

 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.

WaterMax 60 Series Owner’s Manual 11/10/2008 8

Precautions

1. Comply with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical codes.

2. Install the appliance before the water heater.

3. Install the appliance after the pressure tank on well-water installations.

4. Install a pressure-reducing valve if the inlet pressure exceeds 70 psi.

5. Install a gravity drain on the cabinets.

6. Secure the drain line on the appliance and at the drain outlet. See Installation Steps and Start-Up

Procedures.

7. Allow a minimum of 8 to 10 feet of 3/4" pipe from the outlet of the appliance to the inlet of the water heater.

Do Not

1. Do not install if checklist items are not satisfactory. See Checklist Before Installation.

2. Do not install if the incoming or outlet piping water temperature exceeds 120°F (49°C). See Specifications.

3. Do not allow soldering torch heat to be transferred to valve components or plastic parts.

4. Do not overtighten the plastic fittings.

5. Do not plumb the appliance against a wall that would prohibit access to plumbing. See Installation Steps

and Start-Up Procedures.

6. Do not install the appliance backward. Follow the arrows on the inlet and outlet.

7. Do not plug the transformer into an outlet that is activated by an On/Off switch.

8. Do not connect the drain and the overflow (gravity drain) together.

9. Do not use to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after the appliance.

10. Do not allow your appliance to freeze.

Note: A bacteriostasis claim does not mean that these devices will make microbiologically unsafe water safe to consume or use.

WaterMax 60 Series Owner’s Manual 11/10/2008 9

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.

A. Turn off the water supply. B. Open the hot and cold water taps to depressurize the lines.

A. Connect water lines in compliance with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical

codes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WaterMax 60 Series Owner’s Manual 11/10/2008 12

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

Bypass Knob

Figure 3: Bypass Valve

WaterMax 60 Series Owner’s Manual 11/10/2008 13

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.
