Culligan 30 Medallist, Owner'S Manual

Page: 13 / 28

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 tall, thin tank
are flushed with 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.
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 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.
Care and Cleaning of Your Culligan Water Conditioner
Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your
Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or timer cover.
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.
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.
Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not
covered in this Owner’s Guide, a complete Service Manual covering the conditioner that
you own may be obtained from your Culligan Dealer.
