    I have a six year old Hague WaterMax whole house system with the under sink RO
    This was not a cheap set-up that was purchased from a local distributor and installed by same
    I have had so many costly issues since the install
    I can almost bank on a serious breakdown / issue at least once a year
    This company fails to back up their JUNK PRODUCT even though they say it has a 25 year warranty
    Each and every time something goes wrong it cost me more money
    The sad part is I referred this unit / company to my family members and neighbors as I once had confidence in my purchase
    6-7 years of ownership and the system is down once again-total garbage
    BUYERS BEWARE, THIS IS A TROUBLESOME PRODUCT AND I JUST HEARD THE COMPANY HAS SOLD OUT TO SOMEONE ELSE

    This email is in response to complaint ********. I apologize for the issues you've had with your Hague equipment. Can you please provide the information of the local independent Hague dealer you purchased from and have been doing business with? I look forward to your response and helping resolve the issue. Thank you

    My WaterMax system with the under sink RO unit was sold / installed by **** ****** ***** ** ******* ******* ** ****. 
    Since the installation, nearly all of the parts have been replaced and serviced by **** ****** *****. 
    some of these issues have been costly to me considering this unit was supposed to have a 25 year warranty. 
    My tank needed to be replaced due to a crack in the housing and that issue had a significant cost involved, the control valve assembly needed replacement as well. 
    I will say, the owner of **** ************** has always been reasonable with me but the cost of owning this system makes zero sense at this time. Just days ago, the injector cab assembly developed a crack and was leaking underneath the lid of the unit, that water exposure saturated the ST-200 touchpad which has since destroyed the LED readout and the unit is now inoperable. 
    I feel horrible that I recommended this unit to many friends and family as they will be having issues in the future. 
    As a business owner myself, remove your fraudulent 25 year warranty because it makes your company look horrible.

    Again, I would like to say that I am sorry to hear that you have had issues with our product. I would like to work with you to get your WaterMax unit back up and functioning properly. I attempted to reach out to **** ****** but have not been successful. I was hoping to speak with the dealer to get an idea of the parts needed to get your WaterMax unit back up and operating. Besides the ST controller, you mentioned had gotten wet and was not functioning, were there any other parts required? I will be happy to send you a new controller at no cost.  Thank you

    Customer Answer

    The ST-200 control panel is damaged and the injector end cap has a small hole or crack in the screw on cap. This is where the water leaked under the unit cover and damaged the controller. 
    This additional part is a 2 inch threaded black plastic cap that is within the valve assembly. 
    These parts were ordered last week by ****** ** **** ****** ***** and I’m patiently waiting. His cell number is ************* 
    thank you

    Good afternoon, I have spoken with ****** and sent him the parts at no charge to replace on your water softener. I figure he will be contacting you soon to do so if he hasn't already. Thank you

    I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint.

    Thank you for communicating with the area owner to get the parts needed and the problem resolved  

    ****** **** **** ****** ***** replaced several parts and thankfully the system is up and running

    lets hope things stay this way!

    The tank in my less than 8 year old Hague water softener cracked, rendering the entire system out of service. The tank is not repairable and the only option is to replace the entire system (over $5k). Hague advertises a 25 year warranty and charges much higher prices to justify this warranty. Yet they refuse to offer any assistance with my tank that cracked with no explanation, solely because I am the second owner of the equipment. I am still the owner of the equipment. The original owner provided me the Hague warranty paperwork and the warranty card when I became the new owner, which implies that they thought this warranty would cover the machine itself not the owner. This exclusion is simply to conveniently reduce the amount of support Hague has to provide.

    Good afternoon. The manufacturer's 25-year limited warranty is to the original owner of the equipment as stated by the independent Hague dealer. I spoke with the independent Hague dealer earlier today and he will be contacting you with another option that will get your equipment back in service. Thank you

    I have been dealing with Amanda C****** regarding issues that I am having with my Waterboss Model 950 since February 23, 2023. The Waterboss continues to have excessive amounts of water in the cabinet. I have followed all the instructions that Amanda C****** has given me including replacing the new drive end cap, an injector assembly, and safety float assembly. It is now May 10th and the issue still remains. The last email I received from Amanda C****** stated that she received permission from her supervisor to send out all the parts AGAIN and if the problems persist then I need to hire a plumber. There is nothing wrong with my water lines, water pressure etc. I feel that this is being dragged on by them just waiting for the warranty to expire. This is beyond unacceptable customer service. I do have copies of all the emails sent and received.

    I bought the Hague's Whole House Water Filtration and Softener system from them on Dec 23, 2019. Their dealer ******* promised on the system performance and 25 years complete support. He lured me to cancel my contract with ******'s Ecowater whole house water treatment system and was able to trick me into buying Hague's system which started giving black water mixed carbon media. The real nature of the business, support and intention appeared when I started getting the black water out of the taps. We reported and dealer suspected that it is coming out of water heater system. Months passed by and I started noticing it in the toilet flushes and flush tanks. I reached out to them to report again requesting investigation and resolution. I faced the painful cycles of blame games dealer saying that Hague system has no issues, my pipeline could have the problem (my house is constructed in 2003, pipeline must not be that old I guess), my faucet may have the issues. Looking at the carbon-colored black water, I constantly saying that this is the issue of Hague's system leaching its carbon filter media into my house water supply on intermittent basis which gets clear once that carbon water is flushed away. I had a real hard time in convincing them after saying that salt chamber also has the carbon in it. In fact I noticed the black particles in salt chamber in the beginning and told this to Aaron (the owner of dealership), he responded saying that this is normal. Now only I was told by *** after checking with Hague's technician that this is not normal, salt chamber must not have carbon media or any media leaching into it. I was even told that it has full replacement and service warranty. I was never told at the time of selling this system that there would be the enormous charges for labor and even shipping if their defective system needs repair or replacement. I want replacement of this originally defective system at no cost (no labor, no shipping) to me.

     The current unit will be replaced with a new system under warranty at no charge to the customer. This should resolve the complaint.
