  • Page 4: Owner Information

    WNER NFORMATION General Information Congratulations 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

    Service Log Services 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 Introduction to Reverse Osmosis, Cont. The storage tank will store between two and three gallons of water. Note: The storage tank will operate in either a horizontal or a vertical position to permit convenient placement under your sink. Additional tanks may be added to your appliance to provide more storage, space permitting. Your WaterMax ®...
  • Page 8: How Your Appliance Works

    How Your Appliance Works Your WaterMax ® Drinking Water Appliance has been designed as a complete, self-contained appliance using three stages of primary filtration and separation. The frequency in which membranes and filters should be replaced depends upon the quality of the water that enters the appliance (feed water). Meeting operational maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this appliance to perform to specification.
  • Page 9: Getting Maximum Efficiency From The Appliance

    How Your Appliance Works, Cont. Second Stage—The Reverse Osmosis Membrane The semi-permeable RO membrane separates the remaining suspended solids and most of the dissolved solids from the water molecules. Remaining impurities are washed down the drain. Maintenance The RO membrane is critical for effective reduction of total dissolved solids. The product water should be tested periodically to verify that the appliance is performing satisfactorily.

  • Page 12: Fact Section For Pentavalent Arsenic Treatment Appliances

    Fact Section for Pentavalent Arsenic Treatment Appliances Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. It generally occurs in two forms (valences or oxidation states): pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5), or arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also known as As(lll), As(+3), or arsenite).
  • Page 13: Installation And Maintenance Information

    NSTALLATION AND Checklist Before Installation Refer to this checklist before installation. WaterMax ® H3000 and H3500 are designed for chlorinated municipal water supplies. A WaterMax ® Water Softener or additional types of pretreatment are highly recommended should your water not meet water quality or characteristics standards. Should you have any questions about your water not meeting these standards, contact your Hague dealer.

  • Page 18: Installation Steps And Start-Up Procedures

    Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures We recommend that you have your local Hague dealer install and service this appliance. Warning: Installation of this appliance must conform with state and local plumbing and electrical codes, laws, regulations and the instructions provided with this appliance. Failure to install as instructed will void the product warranty.
  • Page 19 Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont. Install the Spigot Assembly Step 3 The most convenient installation would allow the use of an existing spray attachment hole. If the spray attachment hole is not available, then follow the basic procedures outlined below. Drilling a stainless steel sink: Mark the sink location for the center of the faucet.
  • Page 20 Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont. Prepare the RO Air Gap Spigot Assembly for Installation Step 4 Using the diagram in Figure 6, assemble the Air Gap Spigot with all the components except the slot washer. Begin with the escutcheon, followed by the rubber gasket, spacer, flat washer, 9/16-inch nut, and 3/8-inch spigot adapter.
  • Page 21 Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont. Install the Feed Water Supply Valve Step 5 For Installation with Standard Angle Stop Water Supply Valve Shut off the water at the angle stop valve. Use a 5/8-inch open-end wrench to loosen the compression nut on the angle stop riser tube. Install the Feed Water Supply valve onto the angle stop.
  • Page 22 Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont. Install the Drain Saddle Assembly tep 6 The drain assembly should be installed above the P-trap on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. (See Figure 10.) Position the drain saddle in the desired location, mark the spot to be drilled, and remove the saddle.
  • Page 23 Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont. Mount the Reverse Osmosis Appliance tep 7 Mount the RO Appliance on the cabinet wall using the screws supplied. Leave 3 inches below the bottom of the filter housing for clearance when changing filters (See Figure 2). Start-Up Procedure tep 8 Check all connections to ensure they are tight, with locking clips in place.
  • Page 24: Changing Filters

    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. Be sure to order the proper type of membrane for your appliance: CTA or TFC. See Assembly and Parts, RO Assembly.
  • Page 27: Sanitizing The Watermax Ro Appliance

    Sanitizing the WaterMax Sanitize the RO assembly and storage tank during installation and when replacing filters to prevent bad taste and odor in the drinking water. Common household chlorine bleach (5.25% - unscented) is suitable for this purpose. Hint: Before you sanitize an RO appliance that has been in operation in a customer’s home, the customer may wish to draw off some drinking water into a pitcher.
  • Page 28 Sanitizing the WaterMax Option 1 Close the feed water valve and open the RO spigot to drain any water from the storage tank. The tank should be light when picked up. If the tank is heavy, leave the spigot open; use a tire pump and pump air into the tank to displace the water.
