A: The drain line discharges the used water from regeneration. You have to have the drain line to flush the regeneration water out.

A: The drain line is for the water when the softener regenerates; I believe about 15 gallons are used. It’s pumped. The overflow line is used if something goes wrong and the salt tank overfills. It’s gravity drained.

A: The drain line is used when the water softener flushes the hardness minerals from the resin bed and does use a a bit of water in the process. The overflow drain is only used if the salt bin should overflow with excessive brine and that means that the brine float is stuck down.

A: The drain line flows a salty brine during a regen cycle several gallons (16 gal I think). The overflow will not have flow from it unless something is wrong.

Iron reduction for the WaterBoss 700 softener is 10ppm iron reduction. Same for the WaterBoss 900. However, the WaterBoss 950 has a 0-ppm iron reduction.

Answer This Question
A: No, there is no lock for the tank. The top does not slide open easily, so that could stop kids from opening it.
by|Dec 29, 2021
A: You would have to modify the unit to put a lock on the top. But I guess you could do it if you tried.
by|Dec 28, 2021
A: No, top is thin plastic.
by|Dec 28, 2021
A: Unfortunately, our WaterBoss units cannot be locked. We assume that you could try to come up with a way to lock the unit, but we don't design our units to have locks as they are usually in the basement or garages of our customers.
Thank you!
by|Dec 28, 2021
A: You would have to rig something. I don't see any kind of latch or catch where a lock could be added. Despite the appearance I don't think it would be confused with a trash can. If concerned about kids putting something in there, just put a piece of broccoli on it and they won't go near it.

A: No.

Q:I constantly have to chip away the bottom of the tank because the water and pellets harden to the point where it does not flow through the system. Is this normal? I'm not to happy with this product it's too much work on my part.
Please respond asap
Thank you

Q:I have the 700. How many gallon capacity per day should I expect for draining? Im trying to determine if our floor drain will suffice.

Answer This Question
A: Hello,
Please contact our Technical Team at (800) 437-8993. Our WaterBoss units do NOT regenerate every day, so you should have no problem with draining.
by|Jun 28, 2021
A: Just 2 or 3 gallons, and it comes out like if it were a faucet opened at medium. Nothing major nor for long periods at a time. It drains very little in comparison to an open faucet or shower. Nothing major to worry about. Mine would just drain out of the hose into a grassy area in the yard. Never had issues with standing water or mud buildup, and this was in Miami.....where it rains everyday!
