WaterBoss 700 Water Softener Details
The WaterBoss 700 water softener delivers a superior water treatment solution, designed for efficiency and user convenience. It features a robust four-button controller with an intuitive LCD display. Operating primarily in Demand Mode, the system intelligently measures water usage and initiates regeneration only when necessary, eliminating the need for vacation settings or adjustments for varying guest loads. This smart approach ensures optimal salt and water conservation. During regeneration, the display shows specific cycle numbers, and once complete, it indicates the remaining soft water capacity in hundreds of gallons, with the entire process typically finishing in about 30 minutes.
Further enhancing its user-friendliness, the WaterBoss 700 includes a waterMizer® indicator that illuminates whenever water flows through the appliance, aiding in plumbing checks and leak detection. For households dealing with excessive iron, the powerClean™ feature is a valuable asset. This specialized service/maintenance step triggers regeneration every other day using five pounds of salt, effectively combating iron buildup in the resin bed. It is recommended for a minimum of two weeks and can be supported by an iron cleaning agent for continuous preventive care. The unit retains all programmed settings indefinitely, even after power outages, ensuring consistent performance.
Maintaining the WaterBoss 700 is straightforward, focusing on proper salt management. Users should keep the salt level at least one-third full, refilling when it drops below the water line in the brine cabinet. The manual specifically recommends clean white pellet, cube-style, or solar salt, cautioning against rock salt or mixing different salt types. While potassium chloride can be used as a substitute, it is not recommended if the water contains iron or manganese. Regular checks after power outages to reset the time are advised. For comprehensive sanitation, the appliance can be disinfected by adding 4.0 fluid ounces of household chlorine bleach to the brine well and initiating a manual regeneration.
Proper installation is crucial for the WaterBoss 700's optimal performance. It must be installed before the water heater and after the pressure tank in well-water systems. Critical requirements include a minimum pH of 7 and protection against freezing temperatures for both the appliance and its drain line. The manual emphasizes providing an adequate air gap or siphon break for the drain to comply with plumbing codes. A bypass valve is integrated, allowing users to isolate the softener for maintenance or to access untreated water for outdoor uses like watering plants. Adherence to all operational, maintenance, and placement requirements outlined in the manual is essential for maximizing benefits.
The controller offers advanced settings for customization. Users can choose between High Capacity (HC), which means less frequent regenerations but more salt usage, or the default High Efficiency (HE) mode. HE regenerates more often, uses less salt, and meets stringent state requirements for salt efficiency (4,000 grains per pound or better). For water supplies with iron, activating the "96 Hours Until Regeneration" option ensures the appliance regenerates at least every four days, preventing iron fouling. Other customizable options include setting the display for gallons or liters, choosing a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, and defining the specific time for regeneration cycles, typically set for periods of low water usage like 2 AM.
