Regeneration is the process of taking hard water and reducing it to softer water. The WaterBoss® units regenerate faster than competition, which in turn saves homeowners on their water bill, salt usage and electricity consumption.

Jim D.

“I have a Pro 180 that recently stopped working. After talking to Lisa at Technical Support, I was able to determine what the issue was and got parts ordered to repair. I cannot emphasize enough that this is the caliber of employee that makes a company. Knowledgeable and precise in communicating.”

Don F.

“We bought a WaterBoss® Pro 180 to replace a WaterBoss® 700. The new softener is an economical and efficient softener for our rural well water.”

Jerry R.

“After installing the WaterBoss® Pro180 in our home in Michigan and using it all summer, we feel it was the right choice for 2 people. The small compact feature makes it easy to position in tight areas. We have very high iron in our well water, but the WaterBoss® has eliminated the need to scrub the toilets, shower, and sinks. All rust stains are gone. Wife is a happy camper. We leave it set on the 4-day automatic regeneration which seems to work very well for our use and high-iron situation. Would we purchase it again? YES, we would.”

“I love this water softener and I installed it myself. It was easy to install and operate, uses much less salt than my old softener too.”

Thomas H.

“I have a very limited space – and the WaterBoss® fit in perfectly. In fact, this is my second one…👍”

June R.

“Very satisfied. Easy to install and enjoy the soft water. Just the right size to fit under the mobile home.”

James M.

“I researched and purchased the WaterBoss® softener to replace a working one that ran on scheduled and used a lot of salt. I also needed a softener that would fit into a small space. The WaterBoss® does an excellent job and we have soft water as needed when the demand changes, it regenerates as needed. I highly recommend the WaterBoss®.”

Jim V.

“Just bought my third WaterBoss® unit (the first two lasted a total of 25 years). Easy to install and does an excellent job for me here in Central Florida.”
