Why Water Quality Matters

Untreated water costs more than you think.

Hard water and mineral buildup can:

 

  • Wear out clothes faster
  • Require more detergent and soap (sometimes up to 4x more)
  • Leave residue on sinks and fixtures
  • Shorten the lifespan of your water heater
  • Reduce appliance efficiency

 

Over time, untreated water quietly drains your wallet. A properly installed purification system protects your plumbing, appliances, and daily living.

Not sure yet?
We offer a monthly “Try Before You Buy” option.

This allows you to experience the benefits of purified water in your own home before committing long term. Your monthly payments can go toward your full system investment.

No pressure. Just better water.

ABOUT HAGUE 

WHY CHOOSE HAGUE WaterMax® and Ratchford

All water softening systems on the market today rely on salt  and that includes the Hague Water Purification System. What sets Hague apart is its patented ion-exchange technology, which dramatically reduces salt usage compared to traditional softeners. At the same time, it removes chlorine along with the unpleasant taste and odors often found in municipal water.

The system is designed with a customizable configuration, allowing it to be tailored for a variety of water sources, including municipal, well, and borehole systems. The result is clean, neutral-tasting, refreshingly soft water throughout your home.

Ratchford Quality Water is an authorized and fully licensed dealer of the Hague Water System.

Have Questions?

Ratchford Quality Water offers flexible options that many competitors do not. Customers can choose to purchase their equipment outright or rent it, giving homeowners more control and affordability. We focus on environmentally friendly systems, lower salt usage, reduced water waste, and long-term performance, not just sales.

Our systems are designed to address current water problems, including chlorine and other man-made contaminants that may be present in your water supply.

In addition to filtration, our equipment softens water for improved drinking quality and whole-home use. We prioritize efficiency, lower salt consumption, and longer equipment life — helping homeowners save money while protecting their plumbing and appliances.

We offer a flexible “try before you buy” option:

  • $1,600 upfront
  • $85 per month
  • Includes installation, service, maintenance, and a top-of-the-line water softener
  • 60 months to decide if you want to purchase the system

This gives homeowners the opportunity to experience the benefits before committing long-term. 

No problem! The current buyer will have the option to take over the $85/mo payment for the water system with no hidden costs. This makes the process seamless in transfer. 

Booking is simple.

Call or email us directly, and a member of our team will schedule a visit to your home within 48 hours in most cases.
