Owners Guide

THANKYOU

ANDWELCOME TOYOUR NEWWORLD OF BETTER

LIVING WITH CULLIGAN WATER.

The Culligan Platinum Series™water softeners with Soft-Minder®meter and

Aqua-Sensor®sensing device are tested and certified under ANSI/NSF

Standard 44 for softener performance.

For installations in Massachusetts,the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing code

must be adhered to.Consult your licensed plumber for installation of the system. This

system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations.

If this is your first experience having soft, conditioned water in your home, you’ll be amazed at

the marvelous difference it makes.We promise that you’ll never want to be without it again.

Congratulations,too, on selecting one of the“first family”of water conditioners in the

prestigious Culligan Platinum Series.With Culligan’s many years of knowledge and experience

in water treatment,you can be confident that the model you selected has been designed and

engineered to provide years of service with a minimum of care and attention.

Some localities have corrosive water.A water softener cannot correct this problem and so its

printed warranty disclaims liability for corrosion of plumbing lines,fixtures or appliances.If you

suspect corrosion,your Culligan Dealer has equipment to control the problem.

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.

Specifications

IT’SALLSO EASY,SO ECONOMICAL,SO EFFICIENT,SO ENJOYABLE!

KIND TO SKIN AND COMPLEXION

Soft water will help prevent red, itchy or dry skin because there are no hardness impurities to cause

soreness,no soap curd to coat the skin.Shaving is easier, smoother - either with blade or electric shaver.

BATHING AND SHOWERING

You’ll use far less soap with conditioned water.Use your soap very sparingly - not as you did before soft

water.Just a quick rinse removes all lather,leaving your skin pleasantly smooth and silky - because now it’s

free of sticky soap curd and film.

SAVES WASHING COSTS.HELPS CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Soft water washes whiter and cleaner with less soap or detergent.Because the hardness impurities are

removed,your soap can concentrate solely on washing.People usually find that they can reduce the

amount of soap they use substantially. If you normally used a cup per wash load with hard water, try using

only 1/3 cup depending on the size of your wash load and the degree of soil. Different amounts are

required, but you can use less with softened water.An added bonus is the fact that your washable fabrics

will last longer.

SUPER HAIR CONDITIONING

Soft water is great for scalp and hair care. No insoluble deposits are formed.Hair is shinier, softer,more

manageable. Reduce the amount of shampoo you have normally used.

DISHES ARE A DELIGHT

Washed by hand or in a dishwasher,glassware, dishes and silver wash cleaner,easier.Follow your dish-

washer manufacturer’s instructions. Soft water promotes sanitation because no greasy hard water film can

form to collect or harbor bacteria.

EASIER HOUSEKEEPING, GLEAMING FIXTURES

You’ll be amazed at the marvelous difference.Just a swish of the cloth, and the bathtub or shower and

fixtures are clean and sparkling.Imagine, no scouring! No hard water scum to cause rings, streaks,spots

and stains.To keep their gleaming luster,simply wipe fixtures with a towel after use. Formica, tile,walls,

floors, woodwork surfaces clean easier, stay clean longer.You’ll save on cleaning aids and save on time.

SAVES WATER-HEATING ENERGY HELPS WATER-USING APPLIANCES

Soft water reduces the formation of rock-like hard water scale which encrusts water heaters, hot water

pipes, shower heads,and water-using appliances.This scale can cause premature maintenance and failure.

Elimination of hard water also provides substantial energy savings because scale acts as an insulator,

wasting electricity or gas used to heat water.

Introduction

SAVINGS GALORE

A water conditioner is frequently referred to as“the appliance that pays for itself”.You’ll find that your

savings on soaps, detergents,cleaning aids, and personal care products will help your family’s household

budget.And if you place a price on your time,you’ll be most happy with the time saved by your new

family servant.

WATER FOR LAWNS AND HOUSEHOLD PLANTS

If possible,lawn sprinkling faucets should be supplied with hard water primarily because it is

uneconomical to soften so much water.

Household plants are much more sensitive than lawns with respect to the kind of water which is best.

First,because they receive no rainfall and, second,there is little or no drainage of the soil. Preferably they

should be watered with rainwater or water which is low in mineral content such as distilled or

demineralized water.Softened water is not recommended for house plants because a build-up of sodium

in the soil may interfere with efficient absorption of water by the plant root system.Additional

information may be obtained fromyour independently operated Culligan dealer.

Introduction (cont.)

HowYourWater ConditionerWorks

WhyWater Gets Hard And HowIt’s Softened

All of the fresh water in the world originally falls as rain,snow,or sleet. Surface water is drawn upward by

the sun,forming clouds. Then,nearly pure and soft as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it

passes through smog and dust-laden atmosphere.And as it seeps through soil and rocks it gathers

hardness,rust, acid, unpleasant tastes and odors.

Water hardness is caused primarily by limestone dissolved from the earth by rainwater.Because of this,in

earlier times people who wanted soft water collected rainwater from roofs in rain barrels and cisterns

before it picked up hardness from the earth.

Some localities have corrosive water.A softener cannot correct this problem and so its printed warranty

disclaims liability for corrosion of plumbing lines,fixtures or appliances.If you suspect corrosion,your

Culligan Man has equipment to control the problem.

Iron is a common water problem.The chemical/physical nature of iron found in natural water supplies is

exhibitedin four general types:

1. Dissolved Iron - Also called ferrous or“clear water”iron. This type of iron can be removed from the

water by the same ion exchange principle that removes the hardness elements,calcium and

magnesium. Dissolved iron is soluble in water and is detected by taking a sample of the water to be

treated in a clear glass.The water in the glass is initially clear,but on standing exposed to the air,it may

gradually turn cloudy or colored as it oxidizes.

2. Particulate Iron -Also called ferric or colloidal iron.This type of iron is an undissolved particle of iron.

A softener will remove larger particles, but they may not be washed out in regeneration effectively and

will eventually foul the ion exchange resin.A filtering treatment will be required to remove this type of

iron.

3. Organic Bound Iron - This type of iron is strongly attached to an organic compound in the water. The

ion exchange process alone cannot break this attachment and the softener will not remove this type of

iron.

4. Bacterial Iron - This type of iron is protected inside a bacteria cell. Like the organic bound iron, it is

not removed by a water softener.

When using a softener to remove both hardness and dissolved iron it is important that it regenerates

more frequently than ordinarily would be calculated for hardness removal alone.Although many factors

and formulas have been used to determine this frequency,it is recommended that the softener be

regenerated when it has reached 50 - 75% of the calculated hardness alone capacity.This will minimize

the potential for bed fouling.

If you are operating a water softener onclear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the

be from coating with iron.Even when operating a softener on water with less than the maximum of

dissolved iron,regular cleanings should be performed. Clean every six months or more often if iron

appears in your conditioned water supply.Use resin bed cleaning compounds carefully following the

directions on the container.

CAUTION: Do not use where the water is microbiologically unsafe or with

water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit.

HowYourWater ConditionerWorks (cont.)

The Culligan Process

Your Culligan water conditioner consists of three basic components,(A) the Control Valve,(B) the

Mineral Tank,and (C) the Brine System.

A. The exclusive Culligan control valve automatically performs a variety of tasks that are necessary for the

proper operation of your water conditioner.These tasks, commonly referred to as cycles or operating

positions,are:

SERVICE, REGENERATION,AND BRINE REFILL.

1. SERVICE:While the control valve is in the“Service cycle”,hard water is directed down through the

column of Cullex®resin where hardness minerals are removed from the water.The softened water

is then directed into your household plumbing lines.The ability of the Cullex resin to remove

hardness minerals needs to be periodically replenished; this is referred to as . ..

2. REGENERATION: While the control valve is in the“Regeneration cycle”,water is first directed up

through the column of Cullex resin to flush accumulated sediment out of the resin and down the

drain. Then,the regenerant brine solution is slowly drawn from the bottom of the salt storage tank

of the Brine System and is directed down through the column of Cullex resin, restoring the ability

of the resin to remove hardness minerals from your water supply. Once completed, the

regeneration cycle is followed by . ..

3. BRINE REFILL: While the control valve is in the“Brine Refill cycle”, a predetermined amount of

water is directed to the salt storage tank of the Brine System so that additional salt can be dissolved

to provide the brine solution that will be needed for the next regeneration cycle.

B. The exclusive Bonded Tripl-Hull™Mineral Tank contains the Cullex resin column,Cullsan®

underbedding, and an outlet manifold.Note: The Mineral Tank of Aqua-Sensor®models also contains

a mineral sensor device that determines when the Cullex resin needs regeneration. The number of

gallons of hard water that can be softened by the Cullex resin column before it needs regeneration is

called the“capacity”of the resin column,and depends upon the amount of hardness minerals in each

gallon of water (expressed as grains per gallon) and upon the amount of regenerant brine solution

(expressed as pounds of salt) passed through the resin column during regeneration.

Your Culligan serviceperson,taking into account the hardness of your water and the amount of

softened water your household may reasonably expect to use each day, has carefully established how

often the softener will regenerate and how much salt will be used for each regeneration.This will

ensure that all of your soft water needs will be fulfilled without using an excessive amount of salt.

C. The Brine System consists of a salt storage container and hydraulic Dubl-Safe™valve.The salt storage

container holds the salt that is used to make the regenerant brine solution.The hydraulic Dubl-Safe

valve limits the amount of water that is returned to the salt storage tank during the brine refill cycle.

Since a predetermined amount of salt is dissolved with each brine refill cycle,the salt must be

periodically replenished in order to maintain efficient operation.Your Culligan serviceperson will be

able to tell you about how often salt must be added to the salt storage container.

Display

As shipped from the factory,the display of the board will turn off if there has been no

keyboard activity for a 1 minute period.To have the display constantly lit,press the STATUS button until

the number 10 icon is lit.Next,press the UP arrow.A“d”for disable will appear in the display.To have the

display blank again,press the UP arrow.An“E”will appear in the display.

Power Loss

TheAccuSoft®circuit board is equipped with a Hi-Cap Capacitor and EEPROM memory chip.The

capacitor is capable of maintaining the time,for at least one day, in the event of a power outage.The

EEPROM ensures that the individual programming parameters of your softener are not lost.

If the power outage lasts long enough to drain the Hi-Cap Capacitor,the control will flash“12:00 PM”

when power is returned to the control.The unit will continue to keep time from the moment power is

restored, and will initiate a full regeneration at the preset regeneration time. The time of day will need to

be reset in order to return the regeneration to its preset time.

If you live in an area where power outages occur with a regular frequency,a battery backup option is

available for ensuring that the time of day is properly maintained. Contact your Culligan Dealer for more

information.

Meter Operation

For units equipped as a Soft-Minder®meter,the gallons remaining can be viewed by pressing the STATUS

button until the screen is blank.Press the“-”key.The display will blink“F10”for 3 seconds and then

display the gallons per minute flow rate.Press the“-”key.The display will blink“GAL”for 3 seconds and

then display the gallons remaining before regeneration (multiply the displayed number by 10).

Regeneration

To initiate an immediate regeneration, press and hold the“REGEN”button for at least five seconds.The

“REGEN”will light and blink.An immediate regeneration will also occur if a power outage has lasted for

more than four hours and the Immediate Regeneration option is chosen.Ask your Culligan Dealer about

this feature.

A regeneration at the Time of Regeneration will occur if so signaled by the Soft-Minder meter.The

“REGEN”enunciator on the display will also be lit.

Service

The Culligan®Platinum Series water softener is equipped with a self diagnostic program to insure optimal

operation of your water softener.Should service become necessary, a phone icon will appear in the

display.If this condition occurs,call your local Culligan Dealer for assistance. The phone icon will be the

only item displayed when service is required on the control.
