Water Conditioners

Thank you . . .

AND WELCOME TO YOUR NEW WORLD

OF BETTER LIVING WITH SOFTENED WATER.

If this is your first experience having soft, conditioned water in your home,

you’ll be amazed at the marvelous difference it makes. We promise that you’ll

never want to be without it again.

We hope you will become familiar with this Guide so that you will better

understand how your new appliance works, and how you can help it give you

the many benefits of softened, filtered, conditioned water.

SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners using sodium chloride for regen-

eration add sodium to the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted diets

should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.

Some localities have corrosive water. A softener cannot correct this problem

and so its printed warranty disclaims liability for corrosion of plumbing lines,

fixtures or appliances. If you suspect corrosion, your Culligan Dealer has

equipment to control the problem.

NOTE: Operational, maintenance and replacement requirements are

essential for this product to perform as advertised.

How your water conditioner works

WHY WATER GETS HARD AND HOW IT’S SOFTENED

All of the fresh water in the world originally falls as rain, snow, or sleet. Surface

water is drawn upward by the sun, forming clouds. Then nearly pure and soft

as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it passes through smog and

dust-laden atmosphere. And as it seeps through soil and rocks it gathers

hardness, rust, acid, unpleasant tastes and odors.

Water hardness is caused primarily by limestone dissolved from the earth by

rainwater. Because of this, in earlier times people who wanted soft water

collected rainwater from roofs in rain barrels and cisterns before it picked up

hardness from the earth.

THE CULLIGAN PROCESS

Today, research and technology have combined to produce an appliance that

removes hardness (dissolved rock) using ion exchange resins which have su-

perior ability to attract and capture the dissolved hardness impurities in water.

Culligan’s Cullex®water conditioning resin is the happy result of such research.

Here’s how it works in your water conditioner. . . .

1 Your water conditioner directs the flow of your household water through a

column of Cullex resin. The beads of resin remove the hardness impurities

from the water and hold them. When they can hold no more, they must be

recharged. First, the automatic recharge system supplies hard water to your

household, bypassing your water conditioner.

2 Next, the filtered sediment is flushed to the drain. Then, the Cullex resin is

automatically bathed by a salt solution (brine), removing hardness

impurities. Then it is rinsed free of excess brine.

3 The water conditioner is again ready to soften more water for you. Under

normal conditions, this cycle can be repeated indefinitely as the resin lasts

for years and years.

When and how to make adjustments to

the electro-timer . . .

AN ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED WHEN:

1 you must reset the clocks around your home due to a power failure, time

change, or other reason. Remember also to reset the time-of-day on your

water conditioner.

2 you want recharge to occur at a different time than was set at installation.

Note: recharge should be set for a time when water use is at a minimum.

Usually this is in the wee hours of the morning, such as 2:00 a.m.

3 more softening capacity is needed on a continuous basis than was

originally set, either because of increased use or change in water charac-

teristics. (If a temporary increase in water use is anticipated or has

occurred, an immediate recharge can be initiated without interfering with

the automatic settings. Use the “Manual Recharge”.)

ACCESS TO TIMER ADJUSTMENTS

Grasp the front cover by the slots and carefully pull forward. Lay the cover

aside in a safe place.

SERVICE (SOFT WATER) POSITION

The timer is in the “service” position supplying conditioned water to the house

lines when the toothless section of the cam gear is over the idled gear.

TIME-OF-DAY

The stationery pointer Ptells the time of day on the moving 24-hour dial J. If

the pointer is not pointing to the correct time-of-day, according to your watch,

you can reset this by pulling out the black gear, behind the time dial, and

rotating it until the correct time-of-day is opposite the pointer. After releasing

the black gear, be certain it meshes properly with the gear beneath it. Note:

the dark half of the time dial represents nighttime hours.

TIME OF RECHARGE

During recharge, hard water is automatically by-passed into the house lines.

Recharge time is factory set to start at about 2:00 a.m. when water is not

being used by most families. However, if you desire to have your unit charge

at a time other than 2:00 a.m., this can be accomplished with a single

adjustment:

The position of the tiny round dot or pin on the tab His opposite the time on

the 24-hour dial when the unit will begin to recharge. To change the time of

recharge, grasp the white outer 24-

hourdialJand rotateuntilthedesired

recharge time on the dial is opposite

the dot. Note: Whenever the time of

recharge is changed, the time-of-day

setting must also be changed follow-

ing above instructions. (When you

resettime-of-day,doublechecktobe

sure that the time of recharge is not

accidently changed in the process.)

FREQUENCY OF RECHARGE

The frequency of recharge was

presetfor yourexpectedfamilyneeds

when the water conditioner was

installed.

There are six stainless steel tabs on a

numbered wheel Fwhich program

recharge. When all six tabs are

pushed in, the unit will recharge

every day; if every other tab is in,

recharge will occur every other day;

if two opposite tabs are in, recharge

will be every third day; and if only

one tab is in, recharge occurs every

sixth day.

REMEMBER

PushINto recharge,pullOUT toskip.

SALT ECONOMIZER

Has a dial Ewhich controls the

poundsof saltusedperrecharge.This

was set at the time of installation.

Before making any changes, consult

your independently operated Culli-

gan dealer for advice on proper

setting, thenmakethese adjustments:

Loosen screw Ain the center of dial.

While holding cam gear stationery,

rotate the dial until desired salt

dosage in pounds is aligned with

mark D. Then tighten screw.

waterconditioners.Forinformation

regarding resetting of the number

of gallons between recharges,

contact your Culligan dealer.

If salt dosage is changed, the float on the brine valve in the salt storage con-

tainer must also be repositioned. See Installation Manual or call your dealer.

MANUAL RECHARGE FOR MORE SOFTENING CAPACITY

When you expect guests or feel that your use of soft water will temporarily

increase, you can get more softening capacity with a manual recharge. This

can be initiated by moving the lever Min the direction of the arrow. After the

level is released, the unit will resume its automatic, programmed cycle. To

initiateanimmediate regenerationonsofteners equippedwiththe Soft-Minder®

press the red switch button first. Then push the manual regeneration lever. M.

*NOTE: A manual recharge should not be initiated during the two hour period

before a regularly scheduled recharge.

Salt supply, usage and service . . .

WHAT KIND OF SALT IS BEST

All Culligan Water Conditioners are designed to use any water conditioner

salt of good quality, including “rock,” “pellet,” “solar,” or “evaporated” types.

All rock salt, regardless of source, contains insoluble material which collects at

the bottom of the salt storage tank and requires periodic clean-out.

If purified salt products are used, the salt storage compartment will require

less frequent clean-out, but you must check more frequently for “bridging”

(see pg. 11).

Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as

suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He is the expert and can provide you with

the best product for your Culligan Water Conditioner.

AUTOMATIC SALT DELIVERY SERVICE

Ask your Culligan Man for details about his salt delivery service. You can have

your salt supply replenished on a regular basis. Whether you have automatic

delivery service or pick up salt from your Culligan Man, you will be getting

quality salt packaged according to rigid Culligan specifications. Using Culligan

Brand Salt will help assure continued efficiency and trouble-free operation of

yourwater conditioner.

Care and cleaning of your water

conditioner

Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble free

service, and keep your Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years.

1 Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or timer case.

2 Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the

conditioner. Never use harsh, abrasive cleaning compounds or those which

contain acid, such as vinegar, bleach and similar products.

3WARNING: Protect your water conditioner and the entire

drainlinefromfreezingtemperatures.DANGER:Ifyourunitshouldfreeze,

do not attempt to disassemble it. Call your Culligan Dealer.

4 The timer is very accurate. Keep time-of-day setting correct to assure

recharging at the proper time.

5 Shouldservice,adjustmentortrouble-shootinginformationbe neededwhich

is not covered in this Use and Care Guide, refer to the appropriate

Installation Manual for your model. If you do not have this material, it may

be obtained from your independently operated Culligan dealer.

To clean out the salt storage tank

A periodic clean-out of the Salt Storage Tank is necessary to keep your

Culligan Water Conditioner at peak operating efficiency. Do it at least every 2

years when the salt supply is low. Follow these step-by-step procedures:

Tools needed:

Scoop

Clean, bucket-size container

Phillips-head screwdriver

Garden hose

Household scrub brush or sponge

1 Remove the salt storage tank cover and the cap from the brine valve

chamber.

2 Lift the brine valve out of the brine valve chamber and set aside in an

upright position.

3 If you’d like to save any clean, dry salt remaining in the tank, remove it and

place it in a clean container.

4 Using the scoop, dig out and discard as much remaining salt, water and

debris as possible.

5 Remove the brine valve chamber by removing the screws on either side of

the salt tank.

6 Lay the salt tank on its side and direct a brisk stream of water from your

garden hose to its inside to rinse out all residue.

7 Using a household scrub brush and a mild soapy solution, clean the salt

plate. This will complete the tank cleaning.

8 Stand salt tank upright. Place brine valve chamber in position and affix with

screws.

9 Insert the brine valve into the chamber and replace brine valve chamber

cap.

10 Fill the salt storage tank with 4 to 6 inches of water.

11 Fill the tank with salt to within a few inches from the top.

12 Replace salt storage tank cover.

Before you call for service . . .

If you unexpectedly experience hard water, make these simple checks before

calling your Culligan Man. One of the following conditions may be the reason

for your interruption of service.

IMPORTANT:

If any of the following conditions are found, the water conditioner should be

manually recharged according to instructions on page 7 after you have

corrected the condition.

POWER SUPPLY

Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully

into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet

doesnot have awall switch whichhas beenturned

off. Reset conditioner to proper time of day and

then plug in.

BLOWN FUSE

Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit

breaker.

POWER FAILURE

Any interruption in your power supply, or time

changes — such as daylight savings — will disrupt

your conditioner’s recharge schedule by causing

thetimer torun offschedule.Resettimertoproper

time of day.

SALT SUPPLY

Check it. Refill if necessary and wait approximately

four hours for the salt to dissolve before initiating a

recharge cycle.

BY-PASS VALVES

Check to see if they are in the proper position.

Cul-Flo-Valv®by-pass,ifused,shouldbeinthe“Push

for Soft Water” position. If hand valves are used,

see that inlet and outlet valves are opened and

that the bypass valve is closed.
