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.”
