Checklist Before Installation
See this checklist before 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 Hague Water Filter can address these water shortcomings. See Filter 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)
Only type of iron that can be treated with a water softener
Ferric Iron
Insoluble and the particles can eventually foul a resin bed. It should be filtered out before the
water reaches the softener
Organic Iron or Bacterial
Iron
Attached to other organic compounds in the water. Additional treatment is needed to remove
this type of 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. Follow the
instructions on the container.

Water Pressure—Not less than 20 psi or greater than 120 psi (1.4–8.3 bar) constant. If water pressure
exceeds 70 psi (4.8 bar), a pressure regulator is recommended.

Water Supply Flow Rate—A minimum of 3 gallons (11 liters) 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 (4°–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.
