WaterBoss Softener Owner’s Manual 

1/14/2011 

Getting Maximum Efficiency From the Appliance 

To achieve the maximum benefit and performance 
from this appliance, familiarize yourself with this 

manual and the appliance.  

1.

 

The salt level should always be at least 1/3 full. 
Refill the salt when the level drops below the 

water level in the brine cabinet. A resin cleaner 
can be used on a monthly basis. A clean pellet, 

solar, or cube-type salt is recommended. Do 
not use rock salt. 

Caution:

 Do not mix different types of salt. 

2.

 

You may switch to a salt substitute (such as 

potassium chloride) in place of water 
conditioner salt at any time. If potassium 

chloride is used in place of salt, increase your 
hardness setting by 12% (multiply by 1.12). 

See 

Setting the Controller

.  

Caution:

 Do not use potassium chloride if your 

water contains iron and/or manganese. 

3.

 

Should your electricity be off for any reason 

check your controller for the correct time and 

reset as necessary (See 

Advanced Customer 

Settings

). 

4.

 

Program the appliance to regenerate at a time 
when the water is not being used. If there is 

more than one appliance, allow two hours 
between each regeneration.  

5.

 

Protect the appliance, including the drain line, 
from freezing.  

6.

 

Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and 
placement requirements.  

7.

 

If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the 
water supply, the appropriate 

WaterBoss

®

 filter 

can eliminate this problem. 
 

8.

 

The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25% 
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active 

ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To 
disinfect the appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces of 

chlorine bleach solution to the brine well of the 
brine cabinet. The brine cabinet should have 

water in it. Start a manual regeneration.  

9.

 

The bypass valve (located on the main control 

valve) enables you to bypass the appliance if 
any work is being performed on the appliance, 

well pump, or plumbing. See 

Bypass Valve

Use Bypass mode also for watering plants or 

lawns with untreated water.  

10.

 

Before putting the appliance back in service 

after work has been performed, turn on the 
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.  

11.

 

Inspect and clean the brine cabinet and air 
check/draw tube assembly annually or when 

sediment is present in the brine cabinet. 

12.

 

Potassium permanganate will need to be added 

periodically to any iron filter. 

13.

 

Model 950 contains redox media and activated 

carbon media. These have a finite life and will 
eventually require replacement if the advertised 

performance capabilities of this device are to 
be maintained. 

14.

 

This product is certified for barium and radium 
226/228 reduction according to NSF/ANSI 

Standard 44. Any Bypass system must be 
completely in the Service position to ensure 

maximum barium and radium 226/228 
reduction. 

 

Efficiency Statements
