Hague Water Max Vs. The Conventional Water Softener

What is the difference? There are a lot of differences between the Hague Water Max and conventional water softeners. One big difference is in the design. The Hague Water Max has three separate compartments that enable it to be able to adapt to any environment. Below is are a couple of diagrams that illustrate the interior difference. See also Compartment Design.

To fully understand the difference between conventional water softeners and the Hague system, refer to the chart below.

The Difference Between Softeners
A salt based system A truly Salt Free system
A simple salt exchange tank designed ONLY to soften water utilizing 30-year old technology and design. Commercial grade, state-of-the-art technology, especially designed for maximum filtration, disinfection AND softening.
The same media is used throughout the country through water quality and hardness varies everywhere. Computer controlled and monitored. Internal media's engineered specifically to treat Las Vegas water.
bulletSingle compartment tank with resin sometimes MIXED with other media. This can render the media inert after a short time. hague bulletA patented multi-compartment tank with directional flow screens separating the filtration and softening medias.
Uses synthetic resins that soften water by an INEXACT ion exchange. This requires more salt and water for each cleaning cycle. Also, potassium chloride (KCL) is not recommended. Organic resin softens water with an EXACT ion exchange, and removes harmful inorganics and heavy metals. Also, converts potassium chloride to a healthier potassium chloride to a healthier potassium bicarbonate.
Excess salt is harmful to pets, plants, humans and environment. Potassium stimulates growth, promotes health. Earth friendly.
Not designed for internal disinfection. This will often promote bacterial growth within the tank. Employs state of the art REDOX principle (which creates ozone) for continual and complete internal disinfection of the tank.
Most systems feature 5/8" internal plumbing or restrictors which REDUCE water volume and pressure. 1 1/4" plumbing allows more volume of water (greater flow rate), for greater treatment efficiency without effecting water pressure.
Uses a 3/16" fiberglass wrapped tank with plastic or brass valve that screws into the top of the tank. Uses 3/8" thick industrial aircraft grade ABS tank and valve head which are molded as one unit for trouble free performance
Majority of companies use components form several manufacturers and just stick on their own label. All components and complete units are designed and manufactured in the USA by Hague Quality Water International.
The average cleaning cycle is every three days using 10-15 lbs. of salt and 60-100 gallons of water. Approximately 1000 gallons of water and 100 lbs. of salt per month. Because of their water waste, softeners have been banned in several communities. The average cleaning cycles is 3 times a month using only 17 gallons of water and 5 lbs. of potassium chloride. Approximately 50 gallons of water and 15 lbs. of KCL per month. By far the most efficient, cost effective, earth friendly system available.
The comparison above reflects the performance and design of the majority of water softening, conditioning and refining systems. Some may be slightly more or less efficient. Ask for a manufacture's brochure with actual specifications. The WaterMax represents a technological breakthrough in residential water treatment with many more unique features than listed here.
