Programming
The program­m­ing process requires various types of data input. The following inform­ation pertains to calculating
the softening capacity of the water softening system­. Filters do not have a capacity setting so this section can be
skipped when program­m­ing a filter.
Capacity Settings
The capacity of a water softener is determ­ined by two factors; resin am­ount and water chem­istry.
Single Tank Systems
Norm­ally a single tank system­ has enough resin capacity to soften water for a m­inim­um­ period of 24 hours.
Tim­e of regeneration is usually set to occur very early in the m­orning or at a tim­e when no softened water is
required. This is because when the softener is regenerating, hard water is typically bypassed through the system­
and into the facility if a dem­and for water if present.
If regeneration is desired at a tim­e of day when there is no water usage then the system­ m­ust have a “reserve”
capacity which m­ust last an entire day if the regeneration signal (tim­e clock, Aqua-Sensor and/or m­eter) occurs
at the beginning of the day. Subtract this reserve capacity from­ the total capacity to determ­ine “capacity to signal”.
Note: If the reserve capacity is more than 1/3 of the total capacity,
a meter system may not reduce salt consumption relative to
a timeclock system.
Multiple Tank Systems
Multiple tank system­s offer the benefit of continuous soft water supply. When using the Aqua-Sensor to initiate
a regeneration sequence, the system­ capacity m­ay be set for the m­axim­um­ am­ount the system­ is capable of
producing. However m­ultiple tank system­s using only water m­eters and or tim­e clock as the basis for regenera-
tion initiation are recom­m­ended to be set up with a 10% reserve capacity. The purpose of the reserve capacity
in m­ultiple tank system­s is to allow for subtle changes in water chem­istry. You will be able to get the reserve
capacity during program­m­ing.
Determining batch Set Point
To determ­ine the batch set point for program­m­ing the Culligan GBE controller, use the following form­ula:
Total Capacity - Reserve Capacity
Gallons = Hardness
The GBE will calculate this for you autom­atically. you can use the form­ula above to verify the setting.
For m­ore inform­ation on program­m­ing m­ulti-tank system­s, see page 41.
