Why is my WaterBoss 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 950 Water Dispenser?
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.
