My experience with Hague Quality Water of Maryland started in June 2024, and a year later I…read morecompletely regret the $1,395 I spent. I never had issues with their technicians or customer service, but I was sold an Upflow Water Neutralizing System--which I later learned is not typically recommended for well water, even though many companies sell it for that function. My house (built in 1946) has a well, water softener, and pH neutralizer. When the neutralizer failed, I contacted a few companies for estimates, and Hague's price was the best. I assumed they'd know what system my house needed and didn't think twice when they recommended an Upflow unit. The salesperson emphasized that it saved water and electricity since it doesn't backwash--something that sounded good at the time but means little when you're on a well and not paying a water bill. Fast-forward to July 2025: Hague serviced the system and added calcite. Immediately afterward, my water pressure dropped to almost nothing. The technician suspected the calcite had solidified and clogged the tank, recommending it be dumped and a sediment filter added. The problem? A Downflow system backwashes automatically, breaking up buildup and clearing sediment--an Upflow system does not. After getting two second opinions, I learned I could either replace the one-year-old tank with a Downflow system (meaning the $1,395 was wasted) or plan for the tank to be dumped and refilled every year. Another company confirmed that Upflow systems are generally unsuitable for a small household on well water because of this exact issue. It turns out many companies still push Upflow systems since they're cheaper and easier to install, and most customers don't know the difference until problems appear. I wish I'd done the research first--I would have gladly paid a little more for a system that simply needed routine servicing rather than yearly repairs. Hague may be fine for maintenance, but for installations, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Hague has been responsive and helpful to me in servicing my RO system and water softener system…read more When necessary, HERMINIO brings the supplies needed to maintain my water softener system. Then he fills the tanks and tests the water. BRYNN keeps track of the timing for this maintenance, which is helpful. HERMINIO recently repaired my RO faucet. He could've suggested I purchase a new faucet, but instead he simply replaced the inexpensive part which saved me money. HERMINIO is thorough and efficient, always explaining to me what he's doing and why, and I like that he charges for the time he's here, rather than adding unnecessary minutes that creep into a second hour.

**Avoid This Company at All Costs**…read more My water softener started showing a service warning, so I contacted my home warranty provider to send a technician for troubleshooting. The technician who came out seemed unqualified and left without resolving the issue. I was then approved to use an out-of-network provider. I initially contacted a reputable plumbing/water softener company, but they were unavailable. That's when I turned to Phelps--who, unsurprisingly, had immediate availability. I scheduled a visit with them. Their technician admitted to my husband that he wasn't sure what the issue was but recommended replacing the entire water softener system. Unfortunately, Phelps passed inaccurate information to my home warranty provider, resulting in the claim being denied. I had read negative reviews about this company and ignored them. I've now learned the hard way. Don't make the same mistake--**stay far away from Phelps.**

Four years ago, they replaced my water pressure tank and several failing fittings, and installed a…read morereverse osmosis (RO) system. Given the cost of this work, I expected durable materials, proactive recommendations, and transparent guidance. Unfortunately, both experiences have left me disappointed -- and more importantly, concerned about trust. Regarding the pressure tank: during installation, their team very likely observed an older, visibly corroded metal well intake pipe that had likely been in place for nearly 20 years under prior ownership. Fast forward to today -- I noticed heavy white corrosion on the 4.5-year-old brass fitting and an active water leak. Given the risk of catastrophic failure, I called for urgent service. To their credit, they arrived within two hours, which I appreciated. However, I was then told the metal pipework was not covered under the tank warranty and that it should be replaced with stainless steel -- which they acknowledged would last longer and resist corrosion better than the prior installation -- at a cost of $1,400. When a contractor identifies visibly corroded infrastructure during an install, I expect clear risk disclosure and upgrade options at that time -- not four years later when failure is imminent and the homeowner has little choice. Now to the RO system: at installation, I was told the filters were widely available commercially and easy to replace. I later learned the filters are proprietary and only sold through water system companies -- not readily available via retail as originally represented. That distinction materially affects long-term cost and flexibility. Years later, I called to ask how to sanitize the RO system myself. I was told it's something only they can do and that they would handle sanitization when delivering the next set of filters (rather than shipping them), which I accepted. After the technician sanitized the lines, he casually told me, "You know you can sanitize the lines yourself." That is exactly what I had asked about over the phone. I relied on their guidance, only to hear the opposite in person. For tradespeople working inside a home -- especially on critical water infrastructure -- trust and clarity are foundational. When guidance changes, material limitations aren't disclosed up front, or foreseeable corrosion isn't proactively addressed, it raises concerns beyond just cost. While I appreciate the prompt emergency response, the combination of reactive fixes, proprietary product limitations, and inconsistent communication has made this an unsatisfactory experience overall.
