WaterBoss Water Softener - 36,400 Grain Capacity, Model# 900 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The time had come for me to replace the old water softener. I went to Menards and immediately was impressed with the Water Boss brand due to it's low profile design and implied superior quality. Oh was that last part a mistake!

Installation was easy, programming was easy, life was wonderful until months later when it started beeping. The error code indicated a problem with the timer motor that operates the mechanism (while this is demand sensing, an electronically activated timer motor is still the method of mechanically working the unit - no issue here). So I pull the controller off and indeed see that the timer motor has failed. Pull the moter, check the serial number and, uh, oh ooooohhhhh...... Houston, we have a problem!

The paper serial number label, which is on the valve itself, is not resistant to salt dust! It was very hard to read, and upon wiping it with a dry cloth, all the numbers wiped right off. Now the date stamp on the motor was just months old, so I called and explained my situation. Water Boss could not have cared less. My 3 year warranty was useless due to their poor labeling system. "What credit card do you wish to use....."

Fast forward to many months later. After resetting my unit to delay regeneration and turning off the salt-gobbling 96 hour max run time, I noticed hard water one day, and the "days remaining" was still 11. IOW it was not sensing my usage, and indeed the water flow icon was not moving despite having the washer filling up. A quick inspection reveals that the ribbon cable from the hall effect sensor for the water flow turbine has corroded at the controller connection. DUH! This is clearly a product defect. Yet it will be out of pocket again since my 3 year warranty is useless. Hmmm - I wonder how much THIS under 3 year old part will cost me?

Do yourself a favor, just avoid this brand. Older units may be the picture of reliability, but I've read too many bad comments about the new units and poor customer service - a real eye opener when you, like me, have experienced the same fate.

The Dishwasher Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this product to work as advertised.Our dishes were coming out cloudy at best, at times worse than they went in.San Diego water.So we gave the Dishwasher Filtration System from Difia try.Installation was a bit more cumbersome than I would have liked, but I'm not much of a handyman.It leaked out the top a bit, and maybe out the inlets/outlets, but after some tightning down of things, no leaks.
Results of my first wash after installation were pretty dramatically good!Problem solved.Quite happy with it for a few months, forgot about it, then dishes started coming out cloudy again.Figured it was time for a filter replacement.That didn't go as smooth as I'd like either.In fact, I couldn't unscrew the top the first time I got under there and tried.So I planned to pull it out and stick it in a vise on the weekend, but when I came back and gave it another try, it unscrewed nicely.Anyways, replaced the filter, ran one wash with a dishwasher cleaner (Glisten), and then tried a new batch of dishes - dramatic improvement; excellent results again - sparkling clean glasses.Don't know what else to say.I highly recommend this product.

Clearwave Electronic Water Softener System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had earlier posted a review on this saying it doesnt seem to do anything. I am changing that review now, but for some reason amazon wont let me change the number of starts I rated this at ... I now give this 4 STARS

I had earlier posted the review that this doesnt seem to be doing anything, but I left it on. Interestingly - while it took its time - this thing does seem to be doing exactlt what it says it will do - namely - making the hardness in water "non-sticky". My shower heads look quite a bit cleaner, and yes we are noticing small while precipitate in the water, showing that the long deposited white 'scaling' on boiler and pipes is actually coming off.

This seems to also have had a very positive effect on the dish washer. I dont get the whole scaling on glass anymore.

So - if you have tested your water - and its hardness is in the range for this device (mine qualifies) - I will now very strongly recommend this to you. Its a peach to install and setup, and provided you have the patience to wait for its effects - which can take a few months to show up - this is great.

Product Description:
Use less soap, and remove scale from your pipes - continuously, automatically and for only about $5 in electricity a year. Clearwave is the most advanced computerized anti-scale device available today. Its computer chip is programmed to bombard water passing through your pipe with over 200 different electromagnetic low frequency pulses. These electromagnetic pulses have been scientifically proven to increase the electromotive attraction potential of the water to mineral salts. The result is that the mineral salts (mainly calcium bicarbonate) stays dissolved in the water instead of converting to insoluble calcium carbonate and attaching itself to the inside of pipes as scale. Existing scale in pipes, water heaters, toilets and faucets begin to soften and dissolve away. Recommended for dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and boilers.Clearwave can even replace base exchange softening systems and the associated maintenance costs.Installation of the Clearwave is simple. Mount to the main incoming water pipe to the home with pipe clips, wrap the antenna leads around pipe and then plug into a 110V power supply. One unit handles incoming supply pipes up to 1" in diameter. For pipes 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" use two units in series. Works with all types of pipe including: copper, pvc, galvanized, and stainless steel. Manufacturer's part number CW-1.
