Just bought anther one tonight at ace hardware to replace my 19 year old one. That thing's been bulletproof, only one breakdown since I bought it, was a 14 dollar sensor...but I checked it a few nights ago, and I have a water leak around the regeneration wheel and figure almost 20 years s enough, so time for a new one that will likely outlive me. Their tech support is excellent, I Like that waterboss is a local Ohio company near me, and I'd give them 5 stars. Putting it in my house tomorrow. kinda nice that its going to be identical to the one I'm taking out, should be an EZ replacement....
Go get some IronOut powder. When your salt tank is low, Take 1 gal water in a 5 gal bucket and add 1 cup of ironout to it ( ALWAYS ADD POWDER TO WATER NEVER ADD WATER TO POWDER ). It will bubble and smoke and smell very bad. Wait till the ironout is dissolved in the water then give it a swirl. Poor this mixture into the salt tank and do 2( TWO ) regen cycles back to back. Then top off the salt and you should be good for about 6 months. Good luck.
I have new 9 month old 980 waterboss softener. It goes through 4 40 pound bags of salt a month. Water is almost always above salt line. I’m so frustrated with this system and as a single person here in my home no plumber wants to work on it because they didn’t install it. What should I do? Or where can I start. I’ve been watching you tube videos and trying many of the options to know avail. Thx for any help.
@2:56 Also that doesn't look like a proper air gap. What guarantee is there bacteria from the septic pump wont work it's way back up the tube? Because if it does your drinking water will become contaminated.
You can try unplugging the softener and plugging it back. If that does not work, you might need a new part. Call the technical support line at 800-437-8993, so they can help you determine what you would need to do to clear the error.
The water level in the brine tank is determined by the computer board. When you choose HC or HE when you program the softener, the water level can range from 4 to 8 inches of water.
Only holds at most 2 bags of salt pellets, have to use a stick to move salt around in the unit. I am on my second water boss and will never own another one. Not user friendly.

Hooked one up in my sons house several years ago. Works as it should. User friendly. Forget the negative reviews and go buy one.
Yeah forget the fact bacteria from the sump can grow up the drain pipes and contaminate the water supply because it's not properly air gapped.
Have a waterboss 900 at my place and it’s in demand mode, but for “soft water remaining” it show “00” is that normal?
Is the water hardness gpg? So if I’m 14 I would set the hd to 14?
Use the channel lock pliers properly. The opposite of the the way shown. Flip them over.
Video incorrect. Before adding salt you must put 2gals of water in unit.
does it come with the hose connectors?
My WB900 worked great for years. However; problem now after regeneration cycle, causes yellow to orange water. What do I need to do to fix this?

You might try to run some iron out through the unit. Call 800-437-8993 and they have a sheet on how to do this.

I would start by going to waterbosss' site and downloading a manual for your device. Sounds like the hardness setting is to high. Good luck
It sounds like you should call technical support at 800-437-8993. They will help you determine what the problem is and how to fix it.
does it work with water 1800TDS and having high calcium level
The maximum hardness the unit can do is 90gpg, which is a TDS of 1500. Unfortunately, that TDS would be too much for our water softener.
Maybe make a video in a newer and cleaner basement that doesn't look like a medieval dungeon with a schitt covered pipe.
Just saying.

How do you clear E1 error on model 900
You can try unplugging the softener and plugging it back. If that does not work, you might need a new part. Call the technical support line at 800-437-8993, so they can help you determine what you would need to do to clear the error.
How much water should be in the brine tank?
The water level in the brine tank is determined by the computer board. When you choose HC or HE when you program the softener, the water level can range from 4 to 8 inches of water.
How much is a typical installation cost?
You would have to check with local plumbers in your area to get an accurate estimate.
