WaterMax Treatment System


Industry Leading Technology


The engineers at Hague had a vision: to overcome all the limitations that plagued conventional water softeners.



Industry-Leading Efficiency

Energy Star certified technology uses so little water and salt it will save most families $181.50 a year.

Whole-House Treatment

Why bathe in water that is unfit to drink? The WaterMax delivers great water through the entire home.

Complete Water Solution

Other companies require 4 separate systems to produce the same high quality water as the WaterMax.

Never Waste Water or Salt


Conventional metered and timed water softeners share a fatal flaw: they use the same amount of water and salt to regenerate regardless of how much capacity is actually left in the system. This would be like putting 10 gallons of gas in your car no matter how full the tank is.


The WaterMax controller is better: it never wastes a drop of water, or an ounce of salt!

Absolute Brining: A patented feature that measures the amount of reserve capacity in the tank, and adjusts both water and salt usage for each regeneration.

Energy Star Certification: Powerful operation while saving you money - a Win-Win combination.

Power Outage Protection: Protects your system from power loss and maintains all your system's information for worry-free operation.

Backlit LCD Display: Viewable in the darkest utility rooms.

Highest Efficiency Technology


Conventional softeners still use basic technologies from the 1950’s. Every inch of the WaterMax was re-designed to smash efficiency records and save you water, salt, and energy.


Conventional Service Mode

Water is pulled down the path of least resistance towards a small “cone” at the end of a 3/4” tube. Inner resin suffers heavy mineral buildup while outer resin is mostly unused.

Conventional Regeneration

The top 40-50% of the tank is a hard water pocket that wastes large amounts of salt during regeneration. Uneven water flow and resin buildup require long, noisy flushing cycles that waste 1000's of gallons of water.


WaterMax Service Mode

13” Directional Flow Screens push water evenly through Uniform Fine Mesh Resin that is 70% smaller than normal resin. The entire tank is used evenly for both improved softening performance and water pressure.

WaterMax Regeneration

Flow Screens direct a small amount of salt upwards through the Uniform Resin. The wasteful hard water pocket is eliminated, and resin is cleaned quickly and quietly with minimal water and salt use.

Customized for Your Water


Other softeners and filters can only do one thing. The Watermax uses a patented multi-chamber tank that gives us the flexibility to design a system to your exact needs.


In fact, it would take 4 conventional systems to produce the same level of water quality as the WaterMax.


83 standard configurations have been developed and tested to treat a variety of city and well water problems.


The WaterMax is the most advanced residential water treatment system in the world, and is the only system that can be designed just for you.

Strongest Warranty Available


How long will a system last? Just take a look at the warranty.


Other systems on the market have too many moving parts and use cheap plastic parts, gears, and flaky sensors.


Hague's research and testing created an elegantly simple design with only one moving part. Only superior material grades like Naval-Grade Brass are used.


Rigorous product testing and Third Party Certification by Energy Star, NSF, WQA, and the UL verify their achievement - the most reliable water system available. GUARANTEED!

Customer Reviews


K. Dingman - Albertville, MN

“I love the new system. My water tastes better, my clothes are cleaner, and my new WaterMax system uses a lot less salt. Thank you Premier Water!”


S. Layher - Blaine, MN

“WOW, you where correct in everything you told us about the WaterMax system. We no longer have rust stains in our tub and sink and our food has so much more taste. I can't believe how our laundry is coming out so clean. I though since we already had a water softener that we would have good water, boy we where wrong. Lars, you and your installation staff are the best, we have told all our family and friends about your system. Our only regret is we didn't buy it sooner.”


C. Cirhan - Blaine, MN

“We bought the WaterMax to replace our old Autotrol water softener. Now our water is clean and chlorine-free, and we no longer have dry skin or hair. The RO makes the water taste even better. Thank you for all the information and help.”


J. Stevenson - Burns TWP, MN

“We didn’t have a water softener or anything else, and our water had a really bad smell and heavy iron. Our WaterMax has gotten rid of the smell and all the iron. Our water heater is no longer full of black “crud”. Your service was very professional, and the follow-up after installation was a big help.”


M. Nothom - Chanhassen, MN

“We needed a new softener and better drinking water, and needed advice on what equipment could do the job. We got great service, and our water is much better. Cleaner toilets, cleaner dishes, and MUCH BETTER drinking water.”


P. Stephens - Chanhassen, MN

“The Hague WaterMax and Reverse Osmosis system are first class products. Before our new system we were getting rust stains in our clothes, scale in our sinks, and bad tasting water. Everything is so much cleaner now, and our drinking water is fantastic.”


P. Sorensen - Chanhassen, MN

“We didn’t know if we should fix our old softener or replace it. Our options were explained to us very clearly and it made our decision very easy for us. The installers were courteous and did quality work. It was nice to find honest, trustworthy professionals that really know what they are talking about.”


K. Hasse - Chanhassen, MN

“I had been renting two Culligan exchange tanks for years and had very poor drinking water. I chose the WaterMax and Reverse Osmosis system and am very happy with my water. It got rid of the iron there is NO MORE ODOR”!


M. Peroutka - Chaska, MN

“Before our silverware looked dirty after it was washed, and now it is coming out very clean. There is no more ring in the toilets, and our sinks and showers are also much cleaner. We cannot believe how different our skin and hair feel after a shower. The WaterMax is much better than a water softener.”


G. Laurent - Corcoran, MN

“Our Kenmore water softener was leaking, and needed to be replaced. The old unit never got rid of the rust, so that was really important to us. We also wanted to make sure our drinking water was clean since we get our water from a private well. Since we installed the Hague WaterMax we have noticed much softer skin, and our water is nice and clear – no rust! The reverse osmosis makes the water taste much better. Good customer service, great products, what can we say!”


R. Mellman - Credit River, MN

“Our water had a horrible smell, and looked grey when you filled up a bath tub. We replaced the Fleck softener with the WaterMax and now the smell is gone and our water is nice and clear. When I fill up a bucket from the outside tap, I am reminded just how bad our water was.”


S. Motamed - Edina, MN

We moved to a home in Edina that had an old, inefficient Surge water softener. It would run for hours, and it used so much salt. We wanted a more complete system that would give us clean water, and also something that was not so wasteful. We love the WaterMax and Reverse Osmosis system. Our rust and sediment problems are gone. The water tastes great – the entire system works very well. I highly recommend you to others.”


J and L Dehn - Elk River, MN

“The WaterMax system has eliminated all of our rust stains- much better than our old softener ever did. The showers stay clean, and laundry is much easier. It is so nice to be able to get water right from our drinking water system instead of having to keep buying it.”


S. Hendrix - Houlton, WI

“Our Sears water softener COULD NOT handle our well water. The WaterMax delivered instant results. Our water is much better – IRON AND BAD TASTE IS GONE! Thank you for the great system.”


J. and D. Jeffrey - Mahtomedi, MN

“We went from untreated city water to clean, purified soft water. Everything is cleaner, we use less soap, and our drinking and cooking water is great! Your company did a very professional installation and had a great follow-up afterwards. You should be proud of your product and services.”


M. and B. Kidder - Maple Grove, MN

“Originally we just wanted to replace the Sears Kenmore softener with a better one. We upgraded, and the water is now much better than just “soft water”. Everything is better. I would recommend you to anyone. This was an excellent, professional experience in every way.”


G. Gratz - Maple Grove, MN

“Premier Water was great! The whole process of buying a water softener from them was extremely hassle-free and everyone we worked with was excellent. We will definitely recommend Premier Water to everyone we can!”


S. Gunn - Medicine Lake, MN

“My husband and I were referred to Lars by our builder. The previous Northstar water softener that was installed by our plumber did not solve our iron and odor problems. With the WaterMax the smell and rust are gone, and the water no longer ruins my hair! This system also uses far less salt than our old unit. You should definitely have Premier Water over to your home if you are looking for help with your water!”


M. Peterson - Minnetrista, MN

“We just moved from a home in Edina where hard water and chlorine was a major issue. Since moving into our new house with our WaterMax our laundry is brighter, skin feels much better, and hair is not turning colors. Love it!!!”


J. Hartinger - North Oaks, MN

“Our water smelled so bad and stained everything it touched. Your WaterMax got rid of all the odor and staining. Your installation was done very well. You did what you said you would, and worked with our busy schedule. Best of all – we don’t have to buy bottled water anymore!”


D. Turner - Otsego, MN

“I wanted to obtain good clean water for drinking and all around water usage. My family and I really were sick of the rust stains. Your company was very helpful and did a great job installing the WaterMax. Our water is so much better, the difference is like a miracle.”


J. and G. Perrizo - Plymouth, MN

“We went for at least ten years without a softener. We were well aware of the effects of untreated water on dishes, clothes, and our skin. Since installing the WaterMax system we have seen the scale build up disappear on faucets, drinking glasses, and the bathtub. The water tastes better, our clothes are cleaner, and we feel cleaner. It’s a wonderful system.”


H. Larson - Plymouth, MN

“Our Surge Premier water softener had been serviced several times, and the Surge Iron Filter completely failed after only 5 years. We had no water pressure, rust stains, and very bad smell. The WaterMax and Iron Filter system have solved all of our water problems. We have much higher pressure as well.”


J. Phillips - Princeton, MN

“We were sick of our well water and needed a system that would give us good, clean water. Your staff has provided excellent service. We have no more rust, odor, or lime in our water!


E. Slotness - Shoreview, MN

“We were looking for the purest water possible. Your rep that came out to our house was great and answered all of our questions. We really appreciate when Lars came back out to review our new system. We have noticed great improvements in our laundry and drinking water.”


R. and B. Baker - St. Louis Park, MN

“Our Minnesota Water softener broke down for the last time. We got the WaterMax to replace the old softener. Thanks for the great education on the mechanics of different water systems. We are very impressed by the high quality of your product and service.”


J. Kellen - Waconia, MN

“We needed to fix our well water. It smelled, stained everything, and was very hard. Our WaterMax has completely solved all of our water problems that our softener never could. The scale in our bathroom is gone, our dishes are cleaner, and our water is crystal clear. Your water company really did a great job installing our new water system and replacing the filters in our old reverse osmosis system. Service afterwards has been great too, your staff is very helpful.”
