System Operating and Regulatory Specifications

Culligan Salt Free Conditioner is approved for low lead as defined by NSF 372 and CSA B483.1

for material safety and structural integrity. In order to meet regulatory condition, some operational

parameters must be followed. They include:

1. Culligan recommends following the IAPMO Uniform Plumbing code section 806.2 by installing

a Pressure Regulating Valve if the water pressure is greater than 80 psi. Operating on

pressures above the UPC for extended periods of time can increase the service frequency

and failure of replacement parts. On a private water system, make sure the minimum pressure

(when the pump starts) is greater than 20 psi (140 kPa).

2. Operating temperature between 33° and 120°F or 1°–49°C.

3. Clear (non-turbid) water supplies (Less than 5 NTU).

4. A minimum of a 10 minute rinse of system with CullACT media

(using non-Culligan branded media or different amounts voids WQA certification).

System Overview

The Culligan Salt Free Conditioner uses Culligan’s CullACT media to help reduce scale build up in hot

water heaters and pipes and on household surfaces and appliances. The Salt Free Conditioner is

an alternative technology to traditional ion-exchange water softeners that use salt. Unlike a water

softener, the Salt Free Conditioner will not remove hardness minerals from the water.

The CullACT media serves as a catalyst to change the physical structure of the hardness minerals in

water that can cause scaling. This process is known as Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) and it

changes the chemical structure of hardness minerals to a crystallized micro-structure that is resistant

to scale formation. The result is that the water contains the same amount of minerals, but in a form that

is much less likely to cause scaling. Because the mineral content of the water remains unchanged, water

spots can still be present on fixtures and glassware but they will be will be much easier to wipe off

and remove after being treated by the Culligan Salt Free Conditioner.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: Can I test my water for hardness minerals to determine if my Salt Free Conditioner

is working correctly?

A: No. Since Salt Free Conditioners do not remove hardness the test results will be the same.

2. Q: How do I know if my Salt Free Conditioner is working properly?

A: After installation you should notice that water spots on shower walls and fixtures

are easier to wipe off.

3. Q: Will my water taste different after Salt Free Conditioning?

A: No. The Salt Free Conditioner will not change the taste of the water.

If your system includes an Activated Carbon Filter and your water contains chlorine

you will notice an improvement in taste and the elimination of odors associated with chlorine.

4. Q: Is there any maintenance to be done to my Salt Free Conditioner?

A: No regular maintenance needs to be done to the Salt Free Conditioner. If your system

includes a cartridge type pre-filter the cartridge should be changed when water pressure

is reduced or at least every six months.

5. Q: What is the expected service life of the CullACT media used in the Salt Free Conditioner?

A: The CullACT media life expectancy is 3 to 5 years for most water supplies when all

application guidelines are followed.

6. Q: What indicates the CullACT media is near the end of its service life?

A: When it becomes more difficult to clean water spots from shower walls and fixtures

it is most likely time for media replacement. Call your local Culligan dealer for service.

Things to

Check Before

You Call for

Service

If you unexpectedly experience changes in your water, make these simple checks before calling your

Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.

Bypass Valves

Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv®Bypass, if used, should be in the

“Service” position (see page 9). If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valves are

opened and that the bypass valve is closed.

No Water

If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead of the

conditioner (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check the bypass

valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the Bypass position and call your Culligan dealer for service.

If You Have A Cartridge Filter Installed

If your system has a cartridge type filter installed prior to the Salt Free Conditioner make sure the

cartridge is not clogged as this can be the cause of low water pressure. Replace the filter cartridge

with a new one and check to see if water pressure returns.

01037540

Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when

the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo-Valv®Bypass, or a three-way bypass

valve. You should bypass:

1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste

conditioned water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.

2. If you are going away on vacation.

Bypass Valve

In the back of Culligan water filter is a Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass valve. To bypass the unit, turn

the blue knob clockwise. To return to filtered water service, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise.

About 3/8”

Figure 1. Bypass Position.

Bypassed

To BYPASS, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until the knob stops as

shown in Figure 1. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

About

1-1/4”

A screwdriver shank

may be used in the

slot as a lever for extra

turning force if needed

Figure 2. Service Position.

Filtered Water

To return to SERVICE, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until

the knob stops as shown in Figure 2. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
