    Troubleshoot/Repair or Replace 10+ year old Hague?

    Update: I got some HACH hardness test strips and it turns out my water is pushing 15+ grains at the moment (I suspect our muni water is using wells heavily at this time). This is almost 3 times higher than the assumptions we were using above. I have also decided to go with the Fleck 7000 (at...

    Troubleshoot/Repair or Replace 10+ year old Hague?

    My total flow rate MAX is more than 50gpm (2 dishwasher, 2 washing machines, 3 tubs, 8 sinks, 6 toilets, 5 showers...) I am going to "guesstimate" that my "practical SFR" is in the range of 12-15gpm...

    Troubleshoot/Repair or Replace 10+ year old Hague?

    The numbers provided are INSIDE use only. My irrigation use is 10x (big property). I tend to agree with the idea of looking at the 7000sxt. Since my CUFT requirements are in the 2.0 range, I am not sure that the twins are mandatory and believe that the flow requirements might trump the...

    I will look for a PM. Thanks... I am quite surprised that there is not a "standard" 1" internal port offering in this industry without going to commercial... The bigger metering size is useful, but why on earth would the internal port not "be matched"...

    Maybe a math or misunderstanding about hardness? Thanks for this awesome reply! I think that there is a math problem or misunderstanding... and I think it is obviously CRITICAL to my design. My water analysis above indicates a hardness of 68-94 mg/L(ppm). I was under the assumption that...

    Troubleshoot/Repair or Replace 10+ year old Hague?

    Consensus seems to be REPLACEMENT and I tend to concur. I got similar advice from a local dealer I found that has a pretty good reputation. My neighbors generally confirm great benefit from a traditional softener system. I am headed down the path of a Fleck 9100 system. Leaning towards a...

    Clarification on "renting"...? Thanks a million for the thoughtful reply! I had arrived at largely the same conclusions. Are you suggesting "renting" a water softener system? or something else? I have not heard of the option to rent a system although I agree with the idea... My research...

    Troubleshoot/Repair or Replace 10+ year old Hague?

    Greetings, Newcomer to the forum. Impressed by the knowledge and candor expressed by the regulars! I have really bad "hard water" build up on the shower glass and water fixtures throughout my recently purchased home. I inherited a Hague 13baq. I am guessing it is 10+ years old. The unit...
