TROUBLE-SHOOTING
SYMPTOM:
The water flow from my filtered showerhead has been fine but has suddenly
changed and less water seems to be flowing from the showerhead.
REMEDY:
When water pressure drops suddenly, follow these Filter Cartridge Back
Flush Instructions: Occasionally, you may notice reduced water flow through
your shower filter. This is normal in areas with high levels of sediment in
the water supply or if your water is supplied by private well. This reduced
flow is easily remedied.
Your Culligan
®
shower filter cartridge has a life of 10,000 gallons,
estimated to be 6 months depending on household usage. If you notice a
flow reduction within this period of time, open your shower head according
to the Cartridge Change Procedure contained in this manual.
With the showerhead open, remove the filter cartridge, rotate the cartridge
180 degrees and then flip the cartridge front to back. Replace the cartridge
in this new orientation and then replace the faceplate and tighten. Move
out of the path of the water and then turn the shower on. You may notice
discolored water coming from the showerhead for a brief time. This is the
built up sediment that was clogging the screens in the cartridge and causing
the flow reduction. The filter cartridge is reversible and may be used in
either direction. Once you have completed this procedure, your cartridge
will continue to supply clear, clean water for the full 10,000 gallons.
SYMPTOM:
Upon installation of my filtered showerhead, the water pressure is not
sufficient to provide adequate water flow or a comfortable shower
experience.
REMEDY:
In areas of low water pressure, follow these Flow Restrictor Removal
Instructions: Your product contains a water-saving flow restrictor which
restricts the flow to a maximum of 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm). If your
water flow is below 2.5 gpm, you may remove the flow restrictor easily to
improve your flow rate and enjoy a better shower experience by coming up
to the recommended flow rate.
Wall mount showerhead, model WSH-C125:
The flow restrictor is located in the threading
connection, under a black O-ring. Remove your
showerhead from the shower arm and locate the
white disk in the connection.
Using a tweezers, small scissor or needle-nose pliers, first remove the black
O-ring and retain. Next, pop the white disk out of its location. Note the
small black O-ring under the white disk. The small O-ring and the white disk
can be discarded. Replace the large black O-ring and then re-attach your
showerhead to the shower arm, tightening and checking for leaks according
to the original installation instructions contained in this manual.
Hand held showerhead, model HSH-C-135:
The flow restrictor is located in the handle of the
showerhead within the hose connection. Remove the
hose from the showerhead, retaining the large black
O-ring used for hose connection.
Next, locate the white disk in the handle. Using a tweezers, small scissor or
needle-nose pliers, pop the white disk out
of its location. Note the small black O-ring under the white disk. The small
O-ring and the white disk can be discarded. Re-attach the hose to the
showerhead, including the large O-ring, tightening and checking for leaks
according to the original installation instructions contained in this manual.
Caution: Filter must be protected against freezing which can cause cracking
of the filter and water leakage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives
such as chlorine bleach, cleaning fluids or abrasive pads to clean the
showerhead.
Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. Do
not pull on showerhead or use showerhead or shower arm for support. The
contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment device may not necessarily be in your water.
