The technician showed up on time and handled the situation professionally and it great time. We are very happy with the installation of our unit from Hague Water. I feel so much better knowing that this company has given us the healthy option of clean chemical free water consumption. I recommend them highly. So nice to have clean, chemical free water at my fingertips. read more

I have had to downgrade my review because of the decline in service. They have no local rep and they defer most queries to their local reps. Then, the engineer who is on many of their youtube videos, appears to have been dismissed, so getting any technical information has become more difficult. These are not inexpensive systems, they are also very high quality. They are NOT user friendly, forcing a technician's appearance. If you are wealthy and you have an approved company nearby who KNOWS the system, they are great (4 stars go for product), their service has declined (1.5 star). Average 2.75 rounded up. read more

This review focuses on the quoting and water quality testing process. I believe that the salesman does a good job in trying to convince people to buy their product. If you are not willing to do it yourself, it's a good value. However, you can easily purchase a very good water softener product online and DIY for a fraction of the cost. The part that really sucks is he wasted three hours of our time and gave us a Home Depot gift card with a balance of $0. So scummy. At least we got to test our water quality for free. It motivated me to purchase my own water softener (Fleck 5600 SXT) for 1/7th of the cost quoted (almost $8000 yowch)! read more

I have had my sys since 2008. I was told there was a small leak at the control panel ( black box with filters). I had that changed. The next day I got a call & was told that the pressure was high. I wasn't aware of the "special" gauge that was put on the outside faucet where the pressure regulator is located. I got a call or text and suggested I do a bypass. ok Im not a plumber so I received a video ... DO IT YOURSELF so we are not responsible for damages. Little did I know what a mess with the over flow of dirty water in the tank in my garage. SO i was told I should get a new pressure regulator & install a thermo expansion tank. Ah No! I have a fairly new pressure regulator installed 2023 . Now I need a thermo expansion tank bc they installed a new filter ( black box panel) does not sound right to me. All of sudden I need an expansion tank!! I called the water company to make sure.. I was told in my area the water does not get that high PSI levels. As i'm read the reviews & thinking they are going to tell me I need a new system.. You know , Oh your system is very old we have new technology blah blah! I have a plumber coming over to check the PSI..at this point it's going to cost me but it's a matter of being honest with a continuing customer. I have paid thousand for this system. No trouble until now!! very disappointed! read more

Recently, we had a leak in our water softener system and called up Hague for an emergency visit. Got a same day appointment, and Eduardo walked us through everything, taking the time to explain options to solve the problem. He fixed the issue in less than 30 minutes, which was awesome. Highly recommend Eduardo and the Hague team in Ramona - thanks again! read more

My water softener system wasn't working and I called Hague and was able to get an appointment the next day. Daniel came on time and stayed until the system was repaired and working. He explained everything and followed up the next day to make sure it was working. The price was very reasonable and he didn't try to sell me a brand new system. I definitely will use Hague again. read more

I have a Hague system now. I called the company and they happily came out thinking they were going to sell me a new unit. The old unit is only three years old so under warranty. The sales person made no mention of fixing or replacing the existing unit. Rather, they wanted to sell me a new unit for $8000. This is ridiculous because I can buy a decent water softener for my entire home online for about $600 and have my plumber install it for about $800. Plus the online few reviews of this company state that their customer service is terrible. My advice beware. read more

I can't say enough good things about Hague (and Eric!). Their service is phenomenal - I've literally never experienced anything like it. You can actually TRUST them to sell you a system that will work, and continually make sure it's still working for you and that your water is top notch! The value and peace of mind you get long term can't be beat. I compared Hague to all the other local companies before making my decision and it was clear that Hague offered a superior service. read more

Excellent service and attention to detail. We are on a well with very hard water and high iron.Great systems. Thank you Eric Foronjy!

These systems do work. They are, however unreliable. You will have to spend most of what you originally spent over a much shorter period of time than it should. Valves, electrical and filter specs choices were under specified having to be replaced twice. Among other things read more

We finished our Hague Quality Water system installation last Dec but it took me one year to finish this review because of the moving and the almost 7 months remodeling (3 months planning, 4 months construction), and after all the chaos; Hague Quality Water's products proves its high quality and reliability; especially right now the Thomas Fire causes some of the water sources got polluted by ashes, but we still feel very comfortable to drink our water without boiling first. I don't understand where were those bad review's points, the communication and know what you need are the key; I meant, for example; study what you want before you go for an expensive kitchen appliance is necessary. If you don't know what you want, sometimes it causes the misunderstanding. But per our experience, Eric and the Hague Quality Water team are very easy to work with, they don't push you, they give you suggestions for different needs....And yes, they are not the cheapest "water softener" company on the market, because their products are beyond that. You can get a set of basic water softener and undersink RO filter from Costco too....why bother? Because the water is very important for us!!! Okay, the story is when we moved into our new house last year, the previous owner left an old, traditional style water softener. We didn't know if it didn't work or it "should" just work that way; the water tasted horrible, dishwasher smell like open a garbage can after run the cycle and we could smell the chlorine when we were taking shower. We found Hague Quality Water online and contacted them for products details, Eric contacted and arranged to visit us in a very short time. He knew we were in pain because of the terrible water quality. Eric came and gave us a very detail presentation, answered all our questions before we decided what to do. We also had special installation requests: need the spaces in the garage and underneath the kitchen sink. Eric helped to design the layout and then we decided to go for the Watermax System and the High efficiency Reverse Osmosis System. The installation technician is a big gentle guy (Grag?). He learned we will have the house remodel coming and need to reroute the filter water when we redo the kitchen; he installed 2 extra shut off valves in the garage and added an extra faucet as well. He said "I need to make sure you will have the best drinking water during your remodel, water is very important!" (It really helps for our following 4 months remodel living) He drilled a perfect clean hole on our granite countertop for the faucet of the filter water, amazing skills! Finished the work perfectly by himself on time; no word to describe. Then Eric came back after 1 week to check the water quality, follow up and FAQ time for our water system. After we had their water system, drinking the water in the restaurants when we eat out become a hard time for us, our drinking water is way better than that and no more chlorine smell from any faucet in the house, skin feels clean and smooth after shower!!! We couldn't be happier for their water system, Hague Quality Water does it all. (The pictures are all have notes, please click to get more details.) read more

See all

We could not be happier with our house filtration system. Eric B was thoughtful, clear and very patient during our initial consult. The appointment was made per our choice and the install went off without a hitch. The water is without a doubt better tasting and feeling on the skin. My wife has already commented about how her hair feels better than before the filter. Thanks!! read more

We went through a few different companies looking for quality water. Living in Atascadero, ours was awful. We were at something like 700ppm in hardness. Hague quoted us quickly, showed up promptly, the sales person was fantastic and energetic. It wasn't like a sales meeting, it was like hanging out and talking about water (probably not something many of us do, but it was a very relaxing experience). Installation wasn't as smooth, but that was because our house is a challenge. They immediately discounted any and all changes, offered help to fix things, and made every change to my satisfaction. I never knew what kind of difference having soft water would make. Our equipment is better, our showers more relaxing, our hot tub is fantastic - everything that involves water in our house is so drastically improved by what Hague put together for us. Every team member seems to love working there - and that's what I appreciate, a company that takes care of their clients, AND their employees. I'd recommend Hague to anyone who'll listen to me that lives on the Central Coast. read more

We had a reverse osmosis filtration system installed in our kitchen several years ago. We couldn't be happier with their service, workmanship, and quality of water. They come out once a year to maintain the filtration system and have always been on time and professional. We have no regrets as our drinking water quality has been excellent. I have a flock of lovebirds and they need clean, fresh water everyday. They've never been ill because the filtration works! Highly recommend this local company. read more

I recently purchased a water filter and softener system for my house. Before purchasing this system I had been renting a softener from another local water company. I was unhappy with that company for a few reasons. In any event, from the time I met with Eric to the time they installed the system, I was impressed with the professionalism, efficiency and pleasant team. They were always on time, followed up, and whenever I had a question, they were responsive. The system is working great. I am very happy I made this choice and would highly recommend them. read more

So I had posted a review a while back and i see that it somehow got removed. Caused thousands of dollars of damage to our house due to worker installing fitting wrong causing leak under house. Leak went undetected for a year and a half before found. Drug the issue out for 18 plus months furthering the damages. Solid oak floors warped and buckled, Mold and Mildew, Sub Floors warped and insulation wet and retaining moisture. 3 plus years later they have not taken care of it. Now have to borrow against our home to fix it and SUE the POS Snake Oil Salesman. Hours after my review I was contacted by their attorney for this. Really! I guess I do not have a FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to leave a review. So I will clarify this better in a new detailed review to make the issue transparent as I do not want any false facts. Fact "A fitting was incorrectly installed" resulting in a consistent leak for almost a year and a half before discovered. Damages were incurred due to the excessive moisture introduced under the house. They have not done anything to have the underside of the house dried out properly Due to they did not want to file an insurance claim. Quote "I have not had an insurance claim for over 16 years or 12" Can't exactly remember the number. "Can we work this out ourselves" So I put my trust in the issue would be taken care of as my family had just rebuilt our home from a house fire and were under a lot of duress over this new disaster. So being the nice guy and putting our trust and faith in their word. We were provided with some interior mold clean up,air purification unit till it broke down and not replaced, some raking of soil under house, and one carpet fan blowing thru a screen vent. We have been subjected to damages that continue to get worst over time due to all of this water that was introduced under our home due to a mistake made by the installer. Yes it is a costly mistake and we expected it to be taken care of even if you were to do it in a way that would of cost you less than what the bids were from the remediation companies. However this has resulted in this company making claims that the moisture under the house in not from them. Been here for 20 years and never had an issue under the house and the soil was dry when they were under there installing their piping. So seems being the nice guy has resulted in the age ole "Nice guy's finish last" So now we have to spend money for an attorney for something that was not caused by us. We have enjoyed the product for about 20 years have made referrals and they even were generous to us during the rebuild after our house fire. However a mistake was made by an installer and has not been taken care of. The health of our family due to this should be a priority. But we get a threat from an attorney instead. Money spent the wrong way. Damaged our home due to faulty workmanship. When you make a mistake own up to it and make it right. Exposing our family to Mold and structure damage due to improper workmanship. That's what insurance is for. Had respect for them til now. read more

I was in the market to buy a water softener for my home, so I filled out the online form and received a call a few days later from Eric B. and he gave me a sales pitch and some info on Hague water softeners and then told me they had a special going on which included free installation with the purchase of a new water softener; immediately a red flag went up because everyone knows there's no such thing as a "free installation", what plumber do you know who is coming out to your home who is going to work for free, none I'm aware of and most of them want between $100.00 and &150.00 an hour so I knew the Free Installation was just a sales pitch and the labor for the water softener would be baked into the final overall price. Three days after Eric B. came out to my home and looked at my current water conditioner and checked my water pressure sent me an email with a quote for a Hague water softener and when I read it, I almost fell out of my chair, $3,200.00 for the Hague water softener, this was a ridiculous insane price to pay for any water softener. The price without the so-called "free" installation brought the quote almost to $4000.00. The next day I got a quote from Culligan on their water softener, and I was quoted $1600.00 for the Culligan water softener less than half the price I was quoted for a Hague water softener. I also did some research online and found most of the manufactures selling salt-based water softeners range anywhere from $350.00 to $1000.00. There is nothing unique or special about the Hague water softener that would warrant paying $3200.00 on a salt-based water softener, they all work on ion exchange and most of your better units offer great warranties with digital metering with wifi smartphone integration, U S water systems give a 10-year warranty on their tank and 7 years on their valve and electronics. So do your research prior to purchasing a salt-based water softener from Hague. This review is not meant as a negative view on Eric B. he certainly doesn't set the pricing on the Hague saltwater softener's and I'm sure is trained by his supervisor to promote the Hague water softener products to the best of his ability, so I don't have any issue with him leading me to believe I'll get a free install if I buy a Hague water softener from Hague. The problem I have is Hague water softeners are insanely overpriced and I just don't see how the owner stays in business with these kind of prices for their Hague water softener's, however, it does explain why I was told by Eric B., buy one of our water softeners from Hague and will give you a free water softener installation. I can't speak to my own personal experience regarding the quality of Hague water products because I have never owned or purchased any but I'm not willing to spend $3200.00 on a Hague water softener to find out either. To Eric B. don't take anything in this review personal and I wish you the best. read more

If you're looking for something simple, don't bother. I wanted a quote on an RO system for the sink. I signed up in 2016 at a home show in Paso Robles to have a salesperson out to the house. After a long presentation I was presented an $8000 quote for a whole house system, soaps, etc. Long story short I chose another vendor. The kicker though - and the reason for one star - is that I have been receiving sales calls under the guise of "new water quality information". In 2017 these calls started! I asked the woman on the other end of the phone to take me off their list. She was apparently not trained in phone marketing because she didn't seem to understand what that meant. I continue to receive phone calls and emails from Hague. Not cool. Update 11/28/17, response to Eric's comments: "You never opt-ed out of our emails. We will not call you if you ask to be taken off our list." Untrue. I asked the woman on the phone to take me off your list. She kept pitching. There is ONE acceptable response when someone asks you on the phone to take them off of their list and that is "OKAY!" "I'm not sure what you think we did wrong here." Strike 1: I asked for a quote on an R/O and got quote for a whole home. Strike 2: You called (and continue to call) someone who asked to be removed from your marketing list. I have calls from you on: 11/18/17 10/28/17 10/21/17 09/18/17 ...etc. Is that clear enough for you, Eric? read more

Eric Pearson came out to our house last night to give a presentation on the Hague water purification system. He was wonderful! He was so informative and entertaining to watch and listen to. We learned a lot about our water as well as his system. I would recommend Eric Pearson to anyone interested in purifying their water. read more

Fantastic company. Eric answered all my questions and gave me multiple options to think about. Abe, the installer was great all around. My 3 year old had a 100 questions for him and he answered and interacted with her all while getting the job done. As a parent, this was everything. We have had a few different workers in the house over the weeks, as we just moved in. Abe's professionalism and customer service definitely stood out. I would give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Eric and his team were fantastic to work with from the very first visit through installation. We are on a well here in Edna Valley, in a new (to us) home. Eric took his time to go through our entire system (where the lines run underground and throughout the house. We talked through the different softener technologies/options and we selected the ideal setup for us. Our water was epically hard - our hands were cracking, skin was itchy, all our glasses were cloudy. This all changed the day we put the system in. We quoted 3 different options, and even though they were most expensive, we saw value and felt they were worth the premium price! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - WE ARE VERY HAPPY! read more

I've had soft water systems for 45 years, but Hague is the best by far. The system was serviced today and the technician was great. Highly professional and explained what to do and expect. I fully recommend them to everyone. read more

Bravo! Love our new system already. The company was quick to respond and the work was professional. Eric was great on arranging all the set up, as well as good to explain everything. read more

We've had a Hague Quality Water system now for about six months and I can honestly say it was everything they suggested it would be ... and then some. For the same price as I used to pay for biweekly delivery of a soft water canister (which I rented), I now am buying a system that also includes awesome Reverse Osmosis treatment of our drinking water. The installation was professionally done on our timetable. The price is right and now I actually LIKE drinking our water. My only regret is that I waited so long. 22 years of soft water canister rental down the drain. read more

I have had a Hague Quality Water softener with RO system in my house for over 5 years and I LOVE it! The softener has made such a huge difference in my home and it just continues to work flawlessly. We have very hard water in my town and this system kicks butt. The RO system is amazing and the pressure is strong. Filters last a long time also. Best of all is Hague's service. I haven't had any issues but whenever I call with questions they are happy and courteous. I am super happy with my purchase from Hague. read more

We never knew how harsh water was ruining our skin until we ordered the Hague Water softening system! We still can't believe the difference this system makes! Victor Robles installed it in a timely fashion and was very professional, courteous, and on-time! We are sorry we didn't have this system sooner. Now, we can't imagine our lives without it! Thank you Victor and Hague Water!!! We are living a healthier life because of you!!! Sincerely, Christine G. Padua. read more

I bought a water system was ok . Sales guys were very dishonest about the deal after it was already sign. Had to call there boss he was very sincere about helping me . Fix all the problems . But promise me salt sensor and salt for as long as I have system and all the soap products too . Haven't heard from the in months no salt no sensor no soap products !!! Wow very bad business too not even call see how systems works wish the owners could see my problem. read more

I have been in an extensive remodel process for the last year and a half or so. From the beginning of the plumbing phase to rough in what was needed, to the completion of their final installation, Eric Beaulieu and his team was one of the most helpful I've worked with on my project. Knowledgeable, patient, and committed to customer satisfaction, to taking phone calls throughout the week to answer questions, I highly recommend this company not only for their professionalism but their product is outstanding as well. Everyone I know who uses them (family and friends which is why I finally decided to purchase their system) has been completely satisfied. I have very high expectations when I pay someone to perform a task and provide a quality product, and Eric Beaulieu and his team have set the bar. read more

When I found out they had made a mistake doing an install and caused thousands of dollars of damage to a home and have cause the home owner thousands of dollars in attorney fees due to them not standing up for their work mistake. I decided to look elsewhere. First rule of business is to stand up and take care of your mistakes and not displace the blame. This house was just rebuilt due to a house fire and to now have the owners go through all of the anxiety and stress due to an issue mistakenly caused by this company who failed to stand up to rule number one. Owners company quote "price also includes a no hassle installation guarantee on our work for 3 years. Labor warranty for manufacturers defects for 3 years and access to our emergency hotline 24/7." NO HASSLE GUARANTEE ON OUR WORK? THEN WHY HAS THEIR CUSTOMER HAD TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND INCURR COSTS? Would not do business with such an unethical company read more

I decided not to go with Hague in part because of the awful sales experience I had. As I told the salesman, Brandon, it was like a timeshare presentation. I feel I should warn others and am surprised, frankly, that no one else has mentioned this. I can't be the only one who's had this experience. I was seeking estimates for a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen faucet. I told the receptionist this when I called. Other companies gave me information over the phone, but she made an appointment for someone to come out. She said he would be testing the water. I asked how long the appointment would take and she said she blocks out an hour, but sometimes it goes longer, maybe two hours, because people have questions. No. It's because it's a lengthy, rehearsed presentation. I didn't ask an inordinate number of questions, and Brandon was there for nearly 3 hours. He gave me a price of over $12,000. This was for a whole-house system, and included soaps and fragrances. I told him he had wasted both my and his time, since I only wanted reverse osmosis in the kitchen. He finally came down to $1250. I told him the other bids had been under $700, and asked why Hague's system was so much more. He didn't know, but after checking with the owner he called back a couple of days later to say it was probably the permeate pump. I researched this part and found I could buy it for around $50. If you have money to burn, Hague may be a good choice for you. Not only were they beyond my budget, the sales tactics they employed felt dishonest to me. For one, he listed all the money I was supposedly spending already (as if these costs would go away and I could divert the money to financing their system), and he started off with a base of $22 a month that "most people spend" and included my monthly water bill. Getting a filtration system was not going to make my water bill go away! Consider yourself warned. Response to Eric's comments: I wish you hadn't personalized this. I have no doubt that Brandon is a good person. I cast no aspersions on his integrity. You're the one who threw Brandon under the bus. I never said I had a bad experience with your rep, my discomfort was over the sales technique that you presumably developed and in which you admit to training him. Inserting Brandon's personal choices (church, coaching, parenting) is a red herring (among many). Why would you say "he is just doing his job to support his family"? Isn't that likely true of everyone who gets reviewed on Yelp? You seem to be arguing against sharing an experience that's negative. If we "cut ...some slack" we would never write a critical review. These comments just make you sound terribly defensive. And why did you go on about him making phone calls to you if he doesn't know something? I wasn't criticizing him for that, It was merely a factual part of my account. I think you've actually made my point for me--that your company employs tactics/reasoning that feels dishonest. For instance, you say that you've spent 3 hours before usually due to questions and distractions, but I specifically said in my review that this wasn't the case in my situation. It sounds as if you're attacking MY integrity. "The money that people spend has nothing to do with your water bill." Then why did he include it in his calculation? There is no scenario in which he would need to include that figure because, as I said, it doesn't go away and isn't altered by having your system. I am aware of all the damage caused by hard water--that's why I have a water softener and ONLY ASKED FOR A QUOTE FOR REVERSE OSMOSIS. That's my point, one that you seem to be missing. That's why it was a waste of time (which could have been avoided). I am most stunned by this assertion: "The $12,000...was not the price of the water system. It was the cost of what you're spending now, if you don't change what you're doing in the next 10+ years." If that's true (and since I have soft water, I don't believe it applies to me), he should have said that. He didn't. He presented that $12,000 figure as an estimate. I'm pretty sure I still have the paper he wrote it down on. I'm disappointed in your "response," which is really a "defense" that disregards key points I made. And I'm not sure why you felt the need to use my review to launch a commercial. Seems self-serving, rather than interested in responding to my reasoned points. What you offer meets many people's needs, as evidenced by your positive reviews, and you are of course free to charge what you like. My "warning" was to expect a rehearsed presentation, which you yourself admit you trained Brandon to make. I don't see that you've refuted anything I said, just put up a smokescreen. In Brandon's ongoing training, you may want to acquaint him with your policy regarding the non-transferability of the warranty to a new owner (which I read about in another review). He assured me it DID transfer to the next owner. read more

Our experiences with Hague Quality Water have been just perfect. They are professional, timely, patient, clear communication, and the water and equipment are top of the line and far superior to any other water company we have hired in the last 30 years. We have been with Hague over six months now. We wonder why we ever used anyone else all these years!!!! The water tastes great. Go with Hague...saves, time, money, and hassle. Cheers, Jackie and David Kreitzer read more

We moved into our new home in Atascadero and immediately started getting hard water spots and build up on our new fixtures. (Aaack!) We called Hague and scheduled an appointment! They were able to come out and install a whole house filtration system the next week. Since then we have had no problems with hard water spots or build up. Our fixtures still look great (four years later) and our dishwasher still works! Thanks Hague! read more

I have a hague water system. I have been dealing satisfactorily with local dealer. i tried calling the hague office in ohio and was given to someone named rick. I tried to explain that i had some technical questions i wanted to discuss. his response was to ask me for my zip code. PISS POOR RESPONSE from a customer standpoint "we dont answer technical questions" that says to me their technically ignorant or they dont support the product read more

Update - received contact from Hague. They understood how I felt but did not apologize for the additional billing. They asked what I think should happen and I told them I should not have been charged the additional amount. The transaction was completed when I paid for the service at the time of the visit. Their initial offer was to split the difference with me. This was not acceptable. In the end they wrote off the balance due. read more

The time that Eric Beaulieu spent with us in evaluating our home's water needs was well worth it. Our whole house system plus reverse osmosis was installed last month and we've noticed the improvement right away. The install had several complications due to our house, but Abe took care of everything promptly and efficiently. Ours is a classic example of wishing we'd done this several years ago. read more

Had our aging RO and Water softener replaced, installer was kind quick and informative. The new water softener that was put in is way more efficient than the culligan system that it replaced, I would have to say that we are using about 1/4-1/8 of the salt that we were going through previously. Awesome company, awesome products. read more

I bought the Water Softener and RO drinking water system and after a little over a month, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I was using a well-known competitor in my other home, they were just okay. I thought it was the best I could do. I was wrong. The difference between the other company and Hague is HUGE. Hair, skin, dishes, taste of drinking water, all vastly improved with Hague. The technician who installed our systems was here all day, but super quiet and professional, very easy to be around and took the time to answer questions and help familiarize us with the new equipment. Before I agreed to purchase the system, I had a detailed presentation and explanation of exactly what I was buying, how much it would cost, and what was covered by that price. There were no hidden charges or unpleasant surprises. I had several options, from purchase to monthly rental, so it appears they have a plan for everyone who wants to go this route. The water in my home is incredibly hard, and I can't imagine life without soft water here. Just a wonderful company, and a superior product. I LOVE my Hague Quality Water System. Thanks! read more

Eric set up my office RO and whole house system and was great about tweaking the minerals, etc to our specifications. He laid out all of the various options and is obviously very knowledgable. Water taste great and service is excellent. Highly recommend. read more

I was quite amazed to learn about all the elements found in our water and so thankful that Eric Foronjy from Hague Quality Water took the time to test for them. He explained thoroughly how their house filtration system works and the level of service we will be provided with upon installation. I am so excited to move forward with his company and I will definitely recommend Hague to all my friends. Their service and follow-through are outstanding! read more

We had a carbon filtration system installed on our well head, due to contamination of TCE. Hague Quality Water was fast, efficient and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone. We will be using them to add water softener system. They have followed up and been very accessible when questions have come up. Love Them !!! read more
