WaterBoss 950 Water Softener Details
The WaterBoss 950 offers a superior water treatment solution, designed for ease of use and maximum efficiency in softening municipally-supplied water. This owner's manual provides comprehensive guidance for installation and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal appliance performance. Should questions arise, a dedicated HelpLine and the WaterBoss® website offer additional support resources.
Key components included in the box are the water softener unit, overflow elbow, 12V transformer, V-185 nozzle, drain line, controller, and water test strips. Installation typically requires basic plumbing knowledge and tools like a crescent wrench, pliers, screwdriver, specific connection fittings, and tubing for the overflow line.
For maximum efficiency, maintaining the salt level at least 1/3 full is crucial, refilling when it drops below the water level in the brine cabinet. The manual recommends using clean white pellet, cube-style, or solar salt, advising against rock salt or mixing different salt types. A resin cleaner can be used monthly for enhanced performance.
The WaterBoss 950 can use potassium chloride as a salt substitute; however, the hardness setting must be increased by 12%. This substitute is not recommended if your water contains iron or manganese. In the event of a power outage, it's important to check and reset the controller's time to ensure proper operation.
To prevent operational issues, programming the appliance to regenerate during off-peak water usage times is advised, allowing two hours between regenerations if multiple water treatment appliances are in use. Protecting the appliance and its drain line from freezing temperatures is also a critical maintenance step.
The unit features a demand-initiated regeneration controller, meaning it measures water usage and regenerates only when necessary, eliminating concerns about vacation settings. This smart system retains programmed settings indefinitely, even after power loss, simplifying operation and reducing manual adjustments.
An integrated bypass valve allows you to isolate the softener for maintenance or to use untreated water for outdoor tasks like watering plants. This valve can also be used to blend a small amount of hardness back into the treated water if desired. Regular annual inspection and cleaning of the brine cabinet and air check/draw tube assembly are essential.
A notable feature of the WaterBoss 950 is its use of Redox media and activated carbon media, alongside super fine mesh resin. It's important to note that these specialized media have a finite lifespan and will eventually require replacement to maintain the advertised performance capabilities of the device.
The appliance is certified by NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the reduction of barium and radium 226/228. To ensure maximum reduction of these contaminants, the bypass system must be fully in the Service position. This certification underscores the WaterBoss 950's commitment to delivering high-quality, treated water.
