    Information Congratulations on choosing a superior Hague water treatment appliance! Use this guide to attain the maximum benefit from your appliance. As an owner, you may find the first few pages to be the most helpful in solving your needs. If you have trouble with the operation of your appliance, see Troubleshooting in the back of this manual or contact your independent Hague dealer.
  • Page 5: Service Log

    We recommend that you have your local independent Hague dealer service this appliance. Important: Meeting operational maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this product to perform to specifications. Hague recommends that the storage tank be drained weekly to maintain highest quality water.
  • Page 6: Introduction To Reverse Osmosis

    Introduction to Reverse Osmosis Reverse Osmosis (RO) operates by removing contaminants from water at the molecular level. By using your household water pressure to squeeze your water against a special membrane, water molecules are separated from impurities. Rejected dissolved solids are automatically rinsed down the drain leaving only high-quality, delicious water for you to use.
  • Page 7 General Information WaterMax Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Appliances replenish at about one-half gallon per hour, ® depending on your tap water pressure and the water temperature. Low water pressure and temperature will cause all RO appliances to produce a lower quantity of treated water. This appliance is designed with a self-regulating flush feature that limits the reject water to approximately four gallons for every gallon of permeate water.

    (feed water). Meeting operational maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this appliance to perform to specification. Contact your local dealer for replacement filters and parts, or contact Hague Quality Water International for the dealer nearest you.
  • Page 9 The RO membrane should be changed when it rejects less than 75% of the dissolved solids. A noticeable change in water quality and taste may occur and indicates that a change is needed. Consult your Hague dealer for additional monitoring devices or water check programs.

    Changing Filters When replacing the primary filter of any RO appliance equipped with a permeate pump, be sure to follow the purge procedures exactly. Failure to do this may result in premature failure of the permeate pump due to an “air locked”...
  • Page 25 Changing Filters, Cont. Open the tank valve to allow the shutoff valve to open and resume normal operation of the RO. If the permeate pump does not begin to cycle, lift up on the black handle of the dispensing spigot and let the water run until the permeate pump begins to cycle.
  • Page 26 Changing Filters, Cont. Changing the Membrane We strongly recommend that you seek the services of a Hague dealer to change your RO membrane, as well as perform a complete check-up and re-sanitize your appliance.
