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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).
