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. 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.
2.
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.
3.
Important:
Culligan water filters 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 filter should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable. To do this,
rotate the blue knob clockwise on the back of the water filter until it stops against the body of
the bypass valve. Then, call your Culligan dealer to have your system sanitized before it is
placed back into service.
NOTE Following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding operation, maintenance
and re place ment requirements, including replacement of filters if applicable, is
essential for Culligan’s products to perform as advertised.
4. 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. 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
The Culligan Gold Series water filter has been designed to provide a good, consistent service life. Rou-
tinely inspecting the system may help avoid potentially costly breakdowns related to circumstances outside
of the control of the dealer and/or user. The filter is for problem water use and routine maintenance is
required. Contact your local Culligan dealer to perform routine maintenance.
Component
Suggested Inspection
Frequency
Reason for Maintenance
Entire System
At Start-up, after infrequent
use (idle for one week or
more) or every 3 - 6 months
if on a private water supply.
On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes
and odors, particularly if musty or “rotten egg”
(caused by harmless sulfate-reducing bacteria) may
indicate a need for the system to be sanitized.
Backwash Flow
Controller
Every 12 months or every
time service is performed on
the system.
Build up of sediment, iron and/or other foreign
materials (found in some water supplies but not
necessarily all) could negatively affect system per-
formance. Monitor item for normal or unexpected
wear.
Media
As needed.
Replace when arsenic can no longer be removed.
