Water softener help please?
Have had problems with our Water Boss since we had a 5 day power outage. We cleaned part of the head and it does seem better. Had the water tested after cleaning the resin tank, and it tested 6 gr. hardness, no iron. Straight from the well, it tests 12 grains of hardness, plus iron. What is the usual testing reading when going through a softener? Should it be zero? Or do you think the whole head needs to be serviced. We had a sticking piston in the brine housing. Anyone familiar with a Water Boss, would appreciate an answer to my question.

I am not familiar with a water boss, but have been involved with water treatment for many years. Water softener is to reduce your hardness to 0-2 Grains per gallon, any higher and the re-generation is not happening enough. If you have auto re-generation on this unit, it needs to be reset. If you set the re-generation times either by a dial or digitally, then check that.
