Thank You

And Welcome To Your New World Of Better Living

With Culligan Water.

The Culligan Platinum Plus Series Water Softeners with Soft-Minder ® Meter and Aqua-Sensor ® sensing device are tested and certified by WQA against

NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium), barium and radium 226/228 as verified and substantiated by test data.

For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. This system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. The use of saddle valves is not permitted.

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.

Congratulations, too, on selecting one of the “first family” of water conditioners in the prestigious

Culligan Platinum Series. With Culligan’s many years of knowledge and experience in water treatment, you can be confident that the model you selected has been designed and engineered to provide years of service with a minimum of care and attention.

Some localities have corrosive water. A water 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.

Sodium Information: Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.

Attention Culligan Customer:

The installation, service and maintenance of this equipment should be rendered by a qualified and trained service technician. Your local independently operated Culligan dealer employs trained service and maintenance personnel who are experienced in the installation, function and repair of Culligan equipment. This publication is written specifically for these individuals and is intended for their use.

We encourage Culligan users to learn about Culligan products, but we believe that product knowledge is best obtained by consulting with your Culligan dealer. Untrained individuals who use this manual assume the risk of any resulting property damage or personal injury.

Performance Data Sheets are included in this manual for various Culligan Platinum Plus Series

It’s All So Easy, So Economical, So Efficient, So Enjoyable!

Kind To Skin And Complexion

Soft water will help prevent red, itchy or dry skin because there are no hardness impurities to cause soreness, no soap curd to coat the skin. Shaving is easier, smoother - either with blade or electric shaver.

Bathing And Showering

You’ll use far less soap with conditioned water. Use your soap very sparingly - not as you did before soft water. Just a quick rinse removes all lather, leaving your skin pleasantly smooth and silky - because now it’s free of sticky soap curd and film.

Saves Washing Costs. Helps Control Environmental Pollution

Soft water washes whiter and cleaner with less soap or detergent. Because the hardness impurities are removed, your soap can concentrate solely on washing. People usually find that they can reduce the amount of soap they use substantially. If you normally used a cup per wash load with hard water, try using only 1/3 cup depending on the size of your wash load and the degree of soil. Different amounts are required, but you can use less with softened water. An added bonus is the fact that your washable fabrics will last longer.

Super Hair Conditioning

Soft water is great for scalp and hair care. No insoluble deposits are formed. Hair is shinier, softer, more manageable. Reduce the amount of shampoo you have normally used.

Dishes Are A Delight

Washed by hand or in a dishwasher, glassware, dishes and silver wash cleaner, easier. Follow your dishwasher manufacturer’s instructions. Soft water promotes sanitation because no greasy hard water film can form to collect or harbor bacteria.

Easier Housekeeping, Gleaming Fixtures

You’ll be amazed at the marvelous difference. Just a swish of the cloth, and the bathtub or shower and fixtures are clean and sparkling. Imagine, no scouring! No hard water scum to cause rings, streaks, spots and stains. To keep their gleaming luster, simply wipe fixtures with a towel after use. Formica, tile, walls, floors, woodwork surfaces clean easier, stay clean longer. You’ll save on cleaning aids and save on time.

Saves Water-Heating Energy, Helps Water-Using Appliances

Soft water reduces the formation of rock-like hard water scale which encrusts water heaters, hot water pipes, shower heads, and water-using appliances. This scale can cause premature maintenance and failure.

Elimination of hard water also provides substantial energy savings because scale acts as an insulator, wasting electricity or gas used to heat water.

Savings Galore

A water conditioner is frequently referred to as “the appliance that pays for itself”. You’ll find that your savings on soaps, detergents, cleaning aids, and personal care products will help your family’s household budget. And if you place a price on your time, you’ll be most happy with the time saved by your new family servant.

Water For Lawns And Household Plants

If possible, lawn sprinkling faucets should be supplied with hard water primarily because it is uneconomical to soften so much water.

Household plants are much more sensitive than lawns with respect to the kind of water which is best. First, because they receive no rainfall and, second, there is little or no drainage of the soil.

Preferably they should be watered with rainwater or water which is low in mineral content such as distilled or demineralized water. Softened water is not recommended for house plants because a build-up of sodium in the soil may interfere with efficient absorption of water by the plant root system. Additional information may be obtained from your independently operated Culligan dealer.

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.

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 Man has equipment to control the problem.

Iron is a common water problem. The chemical/physical nature of iron found in natural water supplies is exhibited in four general types:

1. Dissolved Iron - Also called ferrous or “clear water” iron. This type of iron can be removed from the water by the same ion exchange principle that removes the hardness elements, calcium and magnesium. Dissolved iron is soluble in water and is detected by taking a sample of the water to be treated in a clear glass. The water in the glass is initially clear, but on standing exposed to the air, it may gradually turn cloudy or colored as it oxidizes.

2. Particulate Iron - Also called ferric or colloidal iron. This type of iron is an undissolved particle of iron. A softener will remove larger particles, but they may not be washed out in regeneration effectively and will eventually foul the ion exchange resin. A filtering treatment will be required to remove this type of iron.

3. Organic Bound Iron - This type of iron is strongly attached to an organic compound in the water. The ion exchange process alone cannot break this attachment and the softener will not remove this type of iron.

4. Bacterial Iron - This type of iron is protected inside a bacteria cell. Like the organic bound iron, it is not removed by a water softener.

How Your Water

Conditioner

Works

When using a softener to remove both hardness and dissolved iron it is important that it regenerates more frequently than ordinarily would be calculated for hardness removal alone. Although many factors and formulas have been used to determine this frequency, it is recommended that the softener be regenerated when it has reached 50 - 75% of the calculated hardness alone capacity. This will minimize the potential for bed fouling. (Iron removal claims have not been verified by the Water Quality Association or Underwriters Laboratories.)

If you are operating a water softener on clear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed from coating with iron. Even when operating a softener on water with less than the maximum of dissolved iron, regular cleanings should be performed. Clean every six months or more often if iron appears in your conditioned water supply. Use resin bed cleaning compounds carefully following the directions on the container.

Caution! Do not use where the water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.

The Culligan

Process

Your Culligan water conditioner consists of three basic components, (A) the Control Valve, (B) the

Mineral Tank, and (C) the Brine System.

A. The exclusive Culligan control valve automatically performs a variety of tasks that are necessary for the proper operation of your water conditioner. These tasks, commonly referred to as cycles or operating positions, are Service, Regeneration, and Brine Refill.

1. Service: While the control valve is in the “Service cycle”, hard water is directed down through the column of Cullex ® resin where hardness minerals are removed from the water.

The softened water is then directed into your household plumbing lines. The ability of the

Cullex resin to remove hardness minerals needs to be periodically replenished; this is referred to as . . .

2. Regeneration: While the control valve is in the “Regeneration cycle”, water is first directed up through the column of Cullex resin to flush accumulated sediment out of the resin and down the drain. Then, the regenerant brine solution is slowly drawn from the bottom of the salt storage tank of the Brine System and is directed down through the column of Cullex resin, restoring the ability of the resin to remove hardness minerals from your water supply. Once completed, the regeneration cycle is followed by . . .

3. Brine Refill: While the control valve is in the “Brine Refill cycle”, a predetermined amount of water is directed to the salt storage tank of the Brine System so that additional salt can be dissolved to provide the brine solution that will be needed for the next regeneration cycle.

B. The Mineral Tank contains the Cullex resin column, Cullsan ® underbedding, and an outlet manifold. The number of gallons of hard water that can be softened by the Cullex resin column before it needs regeneration is called the “capacity” of the resin column, and depends upon the amount of hardness minerals in each gallon of water (expressed as grains per gallon) and upon the amount of regenerant brine solution (expressed as pounds of salt) passed through the resin column during regeneration.

Your Culligan service person, taking into account the hardness of your water and the amount of softened water your household may

A. Control

Valve reasonably expect to use each day, has carefully established how often the softener will regenerate and how much salt will be used for each regeneration. This will ensure that all of your soft water needs will be fulfilled without using an excessive amount of salt.

Cover

C. The Brine System consists of a salt storage container and hydraulic Dubl-Safe ™ valve.

The salt storage container holds the salt that is used to make the regenerant brine solution.

The hydraulic Dubl-Safe valve limits the amount of water that is returned to the salt storage tank during the brine refill cycle.

Since a predetermined amount of salt is dissolved with each brine refill cycle, the salt must be periodically replenished in order to maintain efficient operation. Your Culligan service person will be able to tell you about how often salt must be added to the salt storage container.

Water Meter Mode

In water meter mode, the controller keeps track of the quantity of water that has flowed through the resin bed. Based on the influent water hardness and the hardness capacity of the resin bed, a service life expectancy in the quantity of softened water is calculated and programmed into the control. When the set point is reached, regeneration is triggered. In delay regeneration mode, if the predict mode is turned on, the average daily water usage will be compared to the remaining capacity at the regeneration delay time to predict if another day’s water usage can occur before requiring regeneration. If enough capacity is not present then the regeneration will occur at that time. If the predict mode is not selected the regeneration will start at time of regeneration. In immediate mode the regeneration starts when the capacity is exhausted. If time clock backup is set and the capacity has not been exhausted but the days since last regen is greater than time clock backup setting, the softener will immediately regenerate.

Aqua-Sensor Mode

The Aqua-Sensor is a conductivity probe that senses when a hardness front passes through the resin bed. It functions independently of the influent water hardness so therefore, is useful in conditions when the influent water hardness varies throughout the year. It provides for the most efficient mode of operation. In addition to sensing when a resin bed is exhausted, it can also be used to determine when the brine solution is rinsed from the resin bed during the Brine Draw/

Slow Rinse cycle triggering the control to move to fast rinse. This patented feature provides water savings by optimizing the amount of rinse water required to completely rinse out the resin bed.

Manual Regeneration

Pressing and holding the regen button for 5 seconds will initiate an immediate regeneration. The beeper will give one beep at the start of manual regeneration (when the motor starts to turn). In delay mode, pressing and releasing the regen button will light the regen icon for regeneration to occur at the set delay time. Pressing and releasing the regen button again will turn off the regen icon.

Predict Mode

The Predict Mode is used with the flow meter to determine the optimum regeneration point. Before the regeneration starts, the control will compare the remaining capacity value with the average daily water use. If the average daily water usage is less than the reserve capacity, the controller will wait 24 more hours before regeneration. If the reserve capacity is less than the average daily water usage, the control will initiate regeneration. This works in delay mode only. At any time, if the total capacity value is reached, the control will initiate an immediate regeneration.

Efficiency Mode

Water softeners historically use an optimum time range to control the Regeneration cycle steps, with a minimum and maximum time required to perform each step dependent on the salt being used, the hardness total and iron level. Culligan typically uses the maximum time range to insure effective Regeneration. However, if the iron content of the water to be softened is zero, and the hardness level is less than 20 gpg, Culligan has developed a new set of regeneration times geared to reducing salt and water usage. These times are defined under a new operating mode coined “Efficiency Mode”. Compared to the present time values used, these new regeneration times and salt dosages are considerably less.

Application

Water quality - Verify that raw water hardness and iron are within limits. Note the hardness for setting the salt dosage and recharge frequency.

Iron is a common water problem. The chemical/physical nature of iron found in natural water supplies is exhibited in four general types Dissolved Iron, Particulate Iron, Organic Bound Iron and Bacterial Iron.

Hardness sample kits are available through your local Culligan dealer.

Pressure - If pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa), install a pressure reducing valve (see materials checklist). On private water systems, make sure the minimum pressure (the pressure at which the pump starts) is greater than 20 psi (140 kPa). Adjust the pressure switch if necessary.

Caution! Do not use where the water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality adequate disinfection before or after the unit.

Caution! The use of a pressure reducing valve may limit the flow of water in the household.

Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct sunlight. If installing in an outside location, you must take the steps necessary to assure the softener installation plumbing, wiring, etc. areas well protected from the elements

(sunlight, rain, wind, heat, cold), contamination, vandalism, etc. as when installed indoors.

and the underbedding and resin must be loaded into the tank for 12”, 14” and 16” tanks.

Position of the Mineral Tank(s)

Determine the location for the mineral tanks(s) prior to loading, since they will be difficult to move after the underbedding and gravel are loaded.

Loading the Tank (12”, 14” and 16”

Tanks)

1. Position the tank so that the Culligan ® logo is in the front.

2. Remove the inlet strainer.

3. Install the outlet manifold into the tank (Figure 2).

4. Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag.

5. Using a large-mouth funnel, load the Culligan underbedding through the top of the tank.

Caution! DO NOT allow the outlet manifold to move when loading the media. The manifold must remain vertical to ensure a good seal at the gasket. Rap the tank near the bottom with a rubber mallet to level the sand.

6. Aqua-Sensor ® Installation (optional device)

A. Measure the sensor cable length as shown in Figure 2 and Table 1 (the Aqua-Sensor ® cord is set at the factory for a 9” tank).

B. Loosen the small Aqua-Sensor ® Plug, a needle-nose pliers works best (figure 3).

C. Moisten the cable sheath and slide the cable grip up or down to the proper cable length.

D. Tighten the small Aqua-Sensor ® plug so that the fitting cannot slide along the cable.

Note: There must be no kinks or bends in the cable.

E. Insert the probe and cable through the Aqua-Sensor ® port.

7. Load the tank with the Cullex ® ion exchange resin. Leveling is not required. Remove the funnel.

8. Install the inlet strainer making sure to thread the strainer in until it bottoms out on the thread. Failure to install the strainer correctly can cause the control to leak.

Dimension “X” is the exposed length the Aqua-Sensor ® cord (cord length from the Aqua-Sensor ® plug to the circuit board connector).

You can then verify the Aqua-Sensor ® probe is inserted to the proper depth by confirming dimension “X” is at the corrected length.

Mount the Control Valve

See Figure 4 for a visual on mounting the control valve to the tank.

• Remove and discard the protective cover in the tank neck.

• Install the inlet strainer making sure to thread the strainer in until it bottoms out on the thread.

Failure to install the strainer correctly can cause the control to leak.

• Lubricate the O-ring on the valve body lightly with silicon lubricant.

Note: Do not use petroleum based lubricant, for this will cause swelling of rubber parts.

• Align the outlet manifold with the center opening in the control valve.

Note: Make sure to push the valve straight down onto the manifold. If the valve is cocked it may cause the O-ring to slip off the manifold.

• Screw the tank adapter into the tank until the adapter bottoms out on the tank flange.

Note: The adapter only needs to be tightened hand-tight to the tank flange.

• Assemble the O-rings, located in the parts pack, to the tank adapter.

• The valve adapter O-ring sits on the first step on the adapter. See Figure 5.

Note: Do not push the top O-ring down to the flange surface on the adapter.

Note: The larger of the two O-rings in the parts pack goes between the adapter and the valve, do not stretch the smaller O-ring onto the top of the tank adapter.

• Lubricate only the top O-ring on the tank adapter, and the outlet manifold O-ring with silicone lubricant.

• Position the unit with the inlet and outlet connections to the rear.

• Align the manifold with the center opening in the valve, and press the valve onto the adapter firmly.

• Remove the backwash flow control located behind the elbow.

• Install the correct backwash flow control.

• Reverse the procedure to reassemble.

Note: The number on the flow control should face into the valve body.

Note: Dip switch #5 is to be in the “off ” position for 10” and 12” Tanks (0.25 gpm refill flow control). Dip switch 5 is to be in the “on” position for 14” and 16” tanks (0.50 gpm brine refill flow control).

Plumbing Connections

Shipped with each softener is a Culligan ® bypass valve, which is used to connect the softener to the plumbing system. The bypass allows the softener to be isolated from the water service line if service is necessary while still providing water to the home. See the parts list for connectors that are available.

Caution! Close the inlet supply line and relieve system pressure before cutting into the plumbing! Flooding could result if not done!

Caution! When making sweat connections, use care to keep heat away from the plastic nuts used to connect the plumbing to the bypass. Damage to these components may otherwise result.

Bypass Valve Installation

The bypass valve connects directly to the control valve with a pair of couplings and two assembly pins. Lubricate all O-rings on the couplings with silicone lubricant.

The bypass valve is in the service position when the handle is rotated as far back as possible (See figures 7a and 7b).

Note: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the bypass valve, an approved grounding strap must

Figure 7a Figure 7b be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed. In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by the bypass valve to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding, an approved ground clamp c/w not less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity. Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.

Caution! To bypass the valve, turn bypass knob on both sides of the valve to bypass position (see figure 7b). When returning to service, put the inlet into service before the outlet.

Drain Line Connection

Refer to Table 3, for drain line length and height limitations.

• Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.

• Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.

• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.

• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a sink, or open floor drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.

Note: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.

Note: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap at the discharge point. The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations. For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing

Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. This system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations.

Power Loss

The AccuSoft ® circuit board is equipped with a Hi-Cap Capacitor and EEPROM memory chip.

The capacitor is capable of maintaining the time, for at least one day, in the event of a power outage. The EEPROM ensures that the individual programming parameters of your softener are not lost.

If the power outage lasts long enough to drain the Hi-Cap Capacitor, the control will flash “12:00

PM” when power is returned to the control. The unit will continue to keep time from the moment power is restored, and will initiate a full regeneration at the preset regeneration time. The time of day will need to be reset in order to return the regeneration to its preset time.

If you live in an area where power outages occur with a regular frequency, a battery backup option is available for ensuring that the time of day is properly maintained. Contact your Culligan

Dealer for more information.

(cont.)

Recommended Meter Start-Up Procedure

• Close the main water supply valve.

• Set the Bypass Valve to the bypass position.

• Ensure that all faucets at the installation site are closed.

• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.

• Plug the transformer into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single-phase receptacle.

• Wait for the control to energize the motor and home itself.

• Set the timer to the correct time of day.

• Open the main supply valve.

• Initiate an immediate regeneration to move the control into the backwash position.

• Refer to the section on manual cycling for information on cycling the control through its positions.

• When in the backwash position, slowly shift the bypass to the soft water position until water flows.

• Allow the tank to fill slowly until water flows from the drain line.

• When flow to drain is established, open the bypass fully. Watch the drain line discharge for signs of resin. If signs of resin particles appear, reduce the flow. Increase the flow again when resin no longer appears in the discharge.

• When the unit is filled with water, return the timer to the service position and proceed with setting the microprocessor. Refer to the programming section.

• Sanitize the unit as you leave the installation site (See Sanitizing Procedure).

Note: Unplugging the Culligan Platinum Plus Series water softener will not affect any of the control settings (The control must be plugged in for at least 10 minutes.). Once programmed in, the settings will be stored indefinitely. In the event of a power failure the time-of-day setting will be stored for 12 hours maximum. If longer time storage is necessary, a battery backup is available.

Start-Up Procedure

• Close the main water supply valve.

• Install the sensor probe into the tank but do not connect the sensor to the control at this time.

• Set the Bypass Valve to the bypass position.

• Ensure that all faucets at the installation site are closed.

• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.

• Plug the transformer into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single-phase receptacle.

• Wait for the control to energize the motor and home itself.

• Open the main supply valve.

• Initiate an immediate regeneration to move the control into the backwash position.

• Refer to the section on manual cycling for information on cycling the control through its positions.

• When in the backwash position, slowly shift the bypass to the soft water position until water flows.

• Continue backwash until the drain effluent is clear – at least 10 minutes (use a white foam coffee cup to occasionally collect a sample of backwash water; the stark white of the cup will show the presence of color throw and resin fines).

• After the backwash water runs clear, step the control to the Fast Rinse/Refill position to fill the brine tank and purge air from the brine line.

• Continue or repeat the backwash cycle if needed (while in the backwash step, you can pull the plug on the control and allow it to run as long as needed).

• Unplug the control and connect the sensor to the circuit board.

• Reconnect the power; the control will home again.

• To check the condition of the sensor, press the Information key, followed by the up key (the screen at right appears, HM alternating with the time remaining in the sensor lockout period

– should be 00); with a sensor connected the A enunciator should appear in the second digit from the left.

• Press the Information key and program the control to the desired settings.

• Complete installation and cleanup.

• Sanitize the unit as you leave the installation (see sanitizing procedure).

• Initiate a regeneration or set to go at a preset time.

The thorough backwashing process should have cleared the fines and color-throw from the tank.

The probe should settle into the resin bed during the first couple of minutes of backwashing.

Salt Supply,

Usage and

Service

Salt is the mineral used to “recharge” your water conditioner. A brine solution is automatically made up in the bottom of the salt storage container, the Cullex ® resin beads in the mineral tank are flushed with the brine solution as a step in the recharging process.

Your Culligan Water Conditioner has been carefully designed to get the greatest amount of softening capacity from the salt it uses. Here is some pertinent information about salt usage, types and service.

Salt Economizer

This control is set at the time of installation, and determines salt usage according to the water hardness, number of persons in the household, and water usage.

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”.

Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He or she is the expert and can provide you with the best product for your

Culligan Water Conditioner.

Automatic Salt Delivery Service

Ask your Culligan Dealer for details about 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 Dealer, 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 your water conditioner.

SODIUM INFORMATION: “Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water. Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.”

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 cover.

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.

3. Important! Protect your water conditioner and the entire drainline from freezing temperatures.

DANGER! If your unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble it. Call your Culligan

Dealer.

4. Important! Culligan water softeners are sold for use on potable water, only. If at any time the water becomes contaminated, such as during a “boil water” situation, the operation of the water softener should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable.

To do this, put the unit on bypass as indicated on page 34. Then, call your Culligan dealer to have your system sanitized before it is placed back into service.

5. Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not covered in the Use and Care Guide, call your Culligan Dealer.

If you have further questions, please call your local independently operated Culligan dealer.

Note: Following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding operation, maintenance and replacement requirements, including replacement of filters if applicable, is essential for

Culligan’s products to perform as advertised.

He or she will be glad to be of assistance to you. For your nearest Culligan dealer, call (800) 285-5442.

Recommended Preventative Maintenance Inspection Schedule

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. Remove the salt plate at the bottom of the brine tank.

7. 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.

8. Using a household scrub brush and a mild soapy solution, clean the salt plate. This will complete the tank cleaning.

9. Stand salt tank upright. Replace the salt plate. Place brine valve chamber in position and affix with screws.

10. Insert the brine valve into the chamber and replace brine valve chamber cap.

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

12. Fill the tank with salt to within a few inches of the top.

13. Replace salt storage tank cover.

Sanitizing Procedure

A water softener in daily use on a potable water supply generally requires no special attention other than keeping the salt tank filled. Occasionally, however, a unit may require sanitization under one of the following conditions:

• At start-up time.

• After standing idle for a week or more.

• On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly if musty or “rotten egg” (caused by harmless sulfate-reducing bacteria).

Note: If the water supply contains iron, regenerate the softener before sanitizing to remove iron from the resin.

Caution! Hazard from toxic fumes! Chlorine bleach and common iron control chemicals may generate toxic fumes when mixed.

• If the unit uses Culligan Sofner-gard ® or other compounds containing sodium hydrosulfite, sodium bisulfite, or any other reducing agent, disconnect the device feeding the chemical(s) and manually regenerate the unit before sanitizing.

• Do not use this procedure if the softener salt contains iron control additives.

Care and

Cleaning of your Water

Conditioner

(cont.)

1. Remove the brine tank cover.

2. Pour directly into the brine chamber 1/3 to 1/2 cup of common household bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) for each cubic foot of resin in the tank.

3. Manually start recharge. Allow the unit to complete the recharge cycle automatically.

If tastes and odors return frequently, even after sanitization, a continuous chlorination system may be needed. Send a water sample to a qualified laboratory for bacterial analysis.

Things to Check

Before Calling for Service

If you unexpectedly experience hard water, make these simple checks before calling your Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.

Important

If any of the following conditions is found, the water conditioner should be manually recharged according to instructions on page 18 after you have corrected the problem.

Power Supply

Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch which has been turned 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 the timer to run off-schedule. Reset timer to proper time of day.

Bypass Valves

Check to see if they are in the proper position. Bypass Valve, if used, should be in the “Service” position. If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are opened and that the bypass valve is closed.

No Water

If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead of the conditioner (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check the bypass valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the bypass and call your Culligan dealer for service.

Increased Usage

Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., all will result in more water usage and will require more capacity from your conditioner. You can reprogram your recharging schedule by following the directions on pages 18 - 23. Call your Culligan dealer for advice and save a service call.

Salt Supply

Check it. Refill if necessary and wait approximately 4 hours for salt to dissolve before initiating a recharge cycle.

Salt Bridging

Salt bridging occurs when a space is formed between the salt and the water underneath, preventing the salt from dissolving to make brine. No brine, no soft conditioned water!

High humidity and/or use of some brands of purified salt products may cause a salt bridge to form.

The best way to check and eliminate a salt bridging problem is to take a broom handle or similar instrument and make a mark 34 inches from the end. Then carefully begin to probe down through the salt with the instrument. Should an obstruction be found before the mark on your instrument reaches the rim of the salt storage tank, a salt bridge is likely to have formed.

Continue to probe and break the salt bridge completely.

The Accusoft Plus microprocessor is equipped with an advanced error detection system. During all operating modes the softener’s electronics are performing self-diagnostics to ensure that the unit is operating correctly. There may be times, however, when something may occur that could cause the unit to improperly operate. In those instances the microprocessor will identify the exact problem and alert the user with an error code. Shown below is a description of the error codes.

Bypass

When and How to Bypass Your Water Conditioner

Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the Bypass Valve. You should bypass:

1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste soft water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.

2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while you’re away.

Bypass Valve

To bypass the valve, turn bypass knob on both sides of the valve to bypass position (see figures

13 and 14). When returning to service, put the inlet into service before the outlet.

It is recommended you test your water every 6 months to ensure the system is performing properly and that hardness, and therefore barium and radium 226/228, are being reduced. Hardness test strips have been included. Additional strips are available from your local Culligan dealer.

The Culligan Platinum Plus Series 12” Water Softeners with Aqua-Sensor and substantiated by test data.

® Sensing Device are tested and certified by WQA against

NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium) and barium/radium 226/228 as verified

An efficiency rated water softener is a DIR softener which also complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Efficiency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchange per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible efficiency the system can achieve.

Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softener’s capacity.

Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization and Warranty section of this Owner’s Guide for more specific product information. To avoid contamination from improper handling and installation, your system should only be installed and serviced by your Culligan

Man. Performance will vary based on local water conditions. The substances reduced by this system are not necessarily in your water.

Culligan water softeners are designed to work with any salt of good quality, although it is recommended that you ask your local

Culligan Man for his suggestion on the best type and grade of salt to use in this softener.

Notice: This softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

† The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 7lb. salt dosage and maximum service rate for 12” models, and is efficiency rated according to NSF/ANSI 44.
