This filter worked perfectly for what we needed it to do. We used it to control iron and sulfur per our water test. Within a few hours all the water odors we removed an taste much better. It can be slightly messy mixing the the pot but it is well worth it compared to the other option I found for doing the same job. I installed this my self and before the water softener. Start up was not difficult and i don't think the instructions were to difficult to follow. it took me about 4 hours start to finish.

We installed the 900IF Iron filter for emblematic well water. We installed it right before the Waterboss water softener to make sure that we wouldn't do uneeded damage to the softener. In the (just over) 3 years that it has been installed the manufacturer has sent us 5 different parts to be replaced. The piston assembly snapped right off, the pickup tube float started to malfunction (and started to overflow the tank), the injector valve broke, motor broke, and the seal on the end cap broke and sprayed water everywhere. Now we just got back from a vacation (where we shut off the water and unplugged the softener and filter), and when I plugged it back in, the controller no longer functions. I was told by Waterboss that it would be about $200 to replace this tiny cheaply made part. We will be installing an air injection filter now. I would also discourage people from using Potperm. It stains everything, is a pretty nasty chemical, and you are supposed to stir the tank every few days. 0olo[

    Good for one year.
    This unit was installed for iron and lasted just over 3 years and needed 2 repairs before i just threw it out. Manufacter sent a part to fix it once and i fixed it another time but now just slightly out of warranty they will not supply a part. They do not stand behind their product. It worked ok for the first year and was pretty much useless after that. I supplied a picture of the inlet and outlet of the iron filter after 3 years of use. As you can tell both sides are rusty so this proves this filter was not doing anything for quite some time. I would also like to add my basement flooded twice from this filter.

      Well the local store needs to have them in stock on the shelf, not having to wait for the product to be shipped, 10 days later and then to have the it arrive damage by shipper and wait another 10 days for the new one to come in is not acceptable. As for the iron filter I will have to try it longer then a few days to see how well it work. As for install, I placed it inline with a new water filter, new Iron filter, new water softener and hot water heater, along with all new water piping through out house to get rid of old galvanize piping that was corroding, also replace all corroding faucets, Hoping this iron filter will remove the rotten egg smell, will not know how that works for a little time. All units were easy to install. Hope this helps.

      Product and customer support are subpar
      Purchased Waterboss 900 in June 2022 to replace the existing unit from previous owners. Over a year and it stopped working. Called customer support and Lisa was not helpful at all. She was condescending. Our service tech was pinpointing the issue. He spoke to her boss, Rick about what was wrong with the unit. He would send a replacement tank, but we'd have to pay shipping which cost as much as a new unit. Don't waste your time and money. Do your research and buy anything else, but Waterboss.

        No more Sulphur.
        Worked perfect for getting rid of the sulphur water. Even when the professional water man's unit could not.

        Re-purchase this filter hoping to reduce our iron in our water I would not recommend it to anybody. You have to mix in a chemical that can be expensive and the filter just flushes this chemical out when it regenerates. Not to mention very poor experience with the shipping.Save your money go somewhere else and get a filter that works

            The waterboss 900IF has done a great job of removing the iron from our water. No more orange stains in the sinks, showers, and toilets. Super easy to install too. The directions were simple to follow for programming also.

            You need to read the instructions before you start to make sure you understand everything but once you start it is a piece of cake. Its only been 2 weeks but to date it is working as promised on a very rusty (high Iron) well. Runs quiet and is efficient, paired up well with the water softener. I read all the reviews, some good and some bad but I felt there was more good than bad and being mechanically inclined, I have no worries about it. I highly recommend this if your Iron content is high and your water is red!!

            Great 2 year Filter - Warranty is worthless!
            Replacing our 2nd Iron Boss Rust Filter over the past 5 years. They work great for 2 years then fail mechanically. The warranty is 3 years for replacement of parts YOU remove and return to them for replacement NO labor. Customer Service is friendly but they can do little but offer suggestions. At 10 months of 4 long calls and suggestions I am done, I saved the most recent purchase receipt it's under 3 years.... The warranty is a joke! This is a 2 year product.... I'm purchasing another iron filter and paying more and NOT BUYING ANOTHER WATER BOSS PRODUCT!

              Iron filter
              I would not recommend this unit. We have been using it for about a year and it is worn out. I have been on the phone numerous times with water boss. There support staff just keeps giving me things to try to get me off the phone. In the meanwhile my water keeps getting progressively worse. Everything is working but the green sand has lost its effectiveness. I ordered new green sand this week. Going to call waterboss and try to get them to warranty this unit.
