How Your Appliance Works
Your
WaterMax
®
Drinking Water Appliance has been designed as a complete, self-contained appliance using
five 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. Contact your local dealer for replacement filters and parts, or contact Hague Quality Water
International for the dealer nearest you.
First Stage–The Pre-Filters
Your RO appliance uses one or more pre-filters to help protect the reverse osmosis membrane.
Pre-Filter
Model Number
Function
Sediment
H6000
Reduces suspended and particulate matter 5 microns or larger
from the incoming tap water to protect the RO membrane and
any Carbon Pre-Filter from clogging
Carbon
H6000
Reduces aesthetic chlorine from the feed water and protects the
membrane from chlorine degradation
Dual-Function (DFC)
(combination sediment and
carbon)
H3500, LC100P
Protects the membrane from clogging and chlorine degradation
Sediment Pre-Filter Maintenance—Model H6000
If you are using softened water, replace your Sediment Pre-Filter annually. If you are not using softened water,
the replacement interval will vary. Every six months, schedule an inspection and replace the Sediment
Pre-Filter as necessary. If you notice a discoloration in the core (center) of the Sediment Pre-Filter and/or a
heavy accumulation of sediment on the surface of the Sediment Pre-Filter, then replacement is necessary. The
maximum recommended practical service life of the Sediment Pre-Filter is one year. The pre-filter is overdue
for change when you notice reduced water production or a slower rate of flow.
Note:
The Sediment Pre-Filter performance has not been tested or certified by WQA.
Carbon Pre-Filter Maintenance—Model H6000
Changing the Carbon Pre-Filter should be based on the free chlorine levels in the feed water. If the free
chlorine is 1 ppm or less, then the Carbon Pre-Filter should be replaced once a year. If the free chlorine level is
greater than 1 ppm, then the Carbon Pre-Filter should be replaced every six months.
Note:
Models H6000 and H3500 also incorporate a special prolonged contact filter (PCF) that further reduces
aesthetic chlorine from your water supply. The performance of this filter has not been tested or certified by WQA.
Dual-Function Pre-Filter Maintenance—Models H3500, and LC100P
Follow the same maintenance procedures as for the Sediment Pre-Filter.
