WaterBoss Softener Two-Button Owner’s Manual 8/1/2018 4
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 your appliance runs out of salt:
A. Open the salt lid and add salt.
B. Wait two hours, then press and hold the
R
button for 5 seconds.
C. Regeneration is complete after approximately
12 to 45 minutes, and the appliance is returned
to Normal Operation.
8. If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate WaterBoss
®
filter can
eliminate this problem.
9. 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 (120 mL) of chlorine
bleach solution to the brine well of the brine cabinet.
The brine cabinet should have water in it. Start a
manual regeneration.
10. 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.
11. Before putting the appliance back in service after
work has been performed, turn on the nearest cold
water tap until water runs clear.
12. Inspect and clean the brine cabinet and air
check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine cabinet.
13. Potassium permanganate will need to be added
periodically to any iron filter.
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.
15. An efficiency rated water softener is a DIR softener,
which also complies with specific performance
specifications intended to minimize the amount of
regenerant brine and water used in its operation.
16. Efficiency is measured by a laboratory test
described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44; that the test
represents the maximum possible efficiency the
system can achieve; that operational efficiency is
the actual efficiency achieved after the system has
been installed; and that operational efficiency is
typically less than the efficiency due to individual
application factors including water hardness, water
usage, and other contaminants that reduce the
softener’s capacity.
