FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Hague water softeners different than other water softeners?
The simple answer is efficiency, which is what really makes Hague systems different from other water softeners. Water softeners are all based on the principle of ion exchange using salt to remove hardness minerals from water. The process requires softeners to clean themselves periodically based on water usage, which is called regeneration. Traditional water softener design regenerates from the top down, meaning that the system must clean the entire media bed every time the system regenerates. This design can create problems such as channeling, dilution, and uneven brine distribution, causing hardness leakage into your home as well as potential damage to the system.
Hague systems, on the other hand, eliminate these issues using direction flow screens to eliminate channeling and use a process called up-flow or counter-current regeneration to eliminate dilution and uneven brine distribution. What this means is Hague systems regenerate themselves from the bottom up, resulting in significant improvement in efficiency over the traditional design. In fact, up-flow regeneration can reduce water waste by up to 90% and salt usage by more than 50%. Here in the Texas Hill Country, where water conservation is imperative, efficiency is a significant factor to consider when choosing a water softening system for your home. Efficiency is the primary reason that Hague systems are superior to other water softening systems on the market, and they stand behind their products with up to a 25-year warranty.
