Why is my WaterBoss 700 Water Dispenser dispensing salty water?
Several factors can lead to salty water. Here's what to check: * Plugged injector: Replace the injector screen, nozzle, and throat. * Low water pressure: Maintain a minimum pressure of 20 psi. * Restricted drain line or flow control: Remove any restrictions. * Restricted or crimped brine line: Remove any restrictions; replace the line if crimped. * Excessive water in brine cabinet: Verify the correct water level relative to the salt setting and check lines and fittings for loose connections. * Intermittent pressure drop: Install a check valve on the inlet water line to the appliance (check local plumbing codes first). * Brine valve drips water back to brine cabinet: Clean the brine valve housing and replace the piston assembly.
Why is there no read-out in the display of my WaterBoss 700?
Check the following: * Make sure the electric cord is plugged in. * Verify there is electric power at the outlet and ensure the outlet is not controlled by a switch. * Test the transformer with a volt meter for 12 VAC at the control. If it's less than 10 VAC or greater than 14 VAC, replace the transformer. * With 12 VAC present at the controller, replace the controller if there's still no display. * Note that high ambient room temperature can cause this, but no action is necessary.
Why is my WaterBoss Water Dispenser not regenerating in the proper sequence?
This could be due to: * A defective magnet disk: Replace the magnet disk. * A defective controller: Replace the controller.
