When did my water softener stop softening the water?
My softener stopped softening the water 2 months ago. The unit is about 18 years old. I replaced the resin, cleaned the valve head, poured 3 gallons not water into the brine tank with iron out and manually regenerated many times. The water gets soft for a few days but then isn’t.
Where can I find the water softener serial number?
Finally, you can call Water Boss for technical help directly: 1-800-437-8993. You will need the model and serial number of the control head on your water boss water softener. The serial number is on the control head, on the top or on some models on the back. Take a look at that advice and do keep me posted – as that will help other readers. Hi!

Is the TDS meter measuring the same before and after a softener?
The softener appears to be working fine. As he mentioned, it makes 100% sense that a TDS meter will measure exactly the same before and after a water softener install since the water isn’t being filtered.

Can a water softener be replaced with fresh salt?
To dissolve salt mush, you will need to drain the softener, dig out all the old salt, and replace it with fresh salt. You can follow the steps for cleaning the brine tank for cleaning mush. If your water has sediment, iron, clay, sand, or other substances, your water softener could wear down easily without a prefilter.

How often should I clean my water softener?
Most water softener experts recommend cleaning your brine tank once per year. If you don’t clean it regularly, salt can form into sludge, which is a huge mess to clean up (more on that in a bit). To clean your brine tank, you will need a place to dump the brine from the tank, like a pit or gravel bed in your yard.
