COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The water conditioner is shipped from the factory in one

carton. Remove all components and inspect them before

starting installation.

Control Valve Assembly - Includes the 5- cycle regenera-

tion control valve and electronic timer assembly. A small

parts package contains installation hardware and consumer

literature, including an Owner’s Guide and warranty policy.

Media Tank - Contains the Tripl-Hull™media tank com-

plete with Cullex®ion exchange resin, underbedding and

outlet manifold.

Salt Storage Tank Assembly - Includes salt storage con-

tainer with support plate and Dubl-Safe™brine refill valve

and chamber.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS

The following tools and supplies will be needed, depending

on installation method. Observe all applicable codes.

All Installations

• Safety goggles

• Phillips screwdrivers, small and medium tip

• Gauge assembly (PN 00-3044-50 or equivalent)

• Silicone lubricant (PN 00-4715-07 or equivalent) - DO

NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS.

• A bucket, preferably light-colored

• Towels

Special Tools

• Torch, solder and flux for sweat copper connections

• Threading tools, pipe wrenches and thread sealer for

threaded connections

• Saw, solvent and cement for plastic pipe connections

Materials

• Brine line, 5/16" (PN 00-3031-28 or equivalent)

• Drain line, 1/2" (PN 00-3030-82, gray, semi-flexible; or

PN 00-3319-46, black, semi-rigid; or equivalent)

• Thread sealing tape

• Pressure reducing valve (if pressure exceeds 125 psi

[860 kPa], PN 00-4009-00 or equivalent)

• Pipe and fittings suited to the type of installation

• Water softener salt (rock, solar or pellet salt formulated

specifically for water softeners)

BYPASS VALVES

A bypass valve is included with the control valve assembly.

APPLICATION

Water quality - Verify that raw water hardness and iron are

within limits. Note the hardness for setting the salt dosage

and recharge frequency.

Pressure - If pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa), install a

pressure reducing valve (see materials checklist). On private

water systems, make sure the minimum pressure (the pres-

sure at which the pump starts) is greater than 20 psi

(140 kPa). Adjust the pressure switch if necessary.

CAUTION: The use of a pressure reducing valve

may limit the flow of water in the household.

Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze,

or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct sunlight.

4 / CULLIGAN®MARK 10 AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER

LOCATION

Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm)

behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines and 4 feet (1.3

meters) above for service access and filling the salt

container.

Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of

bumps or irregularities. Bumps, cracks, stones and other

irregularities can cause the salt storage tank bottom to

crack when filled with salt and water.

Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the

rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer to the

Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page ---), for maximum drain line

length.

NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap.

Electrical facilities - A 6-foot grounded cord is provided.

The customer should provide a 3-prong grounded receptacle,

preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned

off accidentally. Observe local electrical codes.

WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! DO

NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG! IF THE

RECEPTACLE IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR 2-PRONG

PLUGS, OBTAIN A 3-PRONG ADAPTER AND

GROUND IT SECURELY TO THE RECEPTACLE. DO

NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS.

INSTALLATION / 5

PLACEMENT

Refer to Fig. 1

• Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water,

drain and electrical facilities. Place the outlet (black cou-

pling) of the tank on the left.

• Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as

near the media tank as possible.

BRINE CHAMBER ASSEMBLY

• Remove the nut and screw from the brine chamber

housing.

• Locate the hole in the recess of the brine tank. Place the

screw through this hole.

• Line up the hole in the brine chamber with the screw. Place

the brine chamber onto the screw and secure with the nut.

FIG. 1

Installation

6 / CULLIGAN®MARK 10 AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER

• Place brine valve into the chamber. The top of the valve

should rest within the groove of the brine chamber.

MOUNT THE CONTROL VALVE

See Fig. 2.

• Remove and discard the protective covers on the tank

couplings.

• Position the light colored tank coupling to the right. This

is the inlet side of the tank.

WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY POSITION

TANK WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF MEDIA.

• Lubricate the o-rings on the tank couplings with silicon

lubricant.

• Place the control on the tank couplings and press down

firmly.

• Install the u-clamps on both sides of the control and secure

with the screws.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Two methods of connecting the water softener to the plumb-

ing system are available. Shipped with each softener is a

Culligan®Cul-Flo-Valv®bypass valve, either PN

00-3314-42 or 00-3314-46. If local conditions warrant, you

may use the sweat adaptor kits, PN 00-3314-44 or

00-3314-45.

NOTICE: The Soft-Minder®meter cannot be used with the

sweat adaptors.

CAUTION: Close the inlet supply line and

relieve system pressure before cutting into the

plumbing! Flooding could result!

CAUTION: When making sweat connections, re-

move all plastic and rubber components which con-

tact brass or copper. Damage to these compo-

nents may result otherwise.

BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION

The bypass valve connects directly to the backplate of the

valve with a pair of screws (Fig. 3). Use a long standard

screw driver to facilitate installation. Lubricate all o-rings

with silicon lubricant.

BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION

(SOFT-MINDER®METER ONLY):

The Soft-Minder meter is placed between the bypass valve

and the control (Fig. 4). Make sure the meter is on the outlet

drain line length and height limitations, and to Fig. 6.

• Remove 1/2" pipe clamp from end of drain elbow.

• Route a length of 1/2" drain line from the drain elbow to

the drain.

• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.

• Secure the drain line to the drain to prevent its movement

during regeneration. A loop in the end of the tube will

keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the

beginning of each regeneration.

NOTICE: Observe all plumbing codes. most codes require

an anti-siphon device or air gap at the discharge point!

FILL THE SALT STORAGE CONTAINER

Fill the salt storage container with water until the level reaches

about 1 inch above the salt support plate. Pour salt into the

container. Fill to within a few inches of the top.

SOFT-MINDER®METER CONNECTIONS

To connect meter leads, proceed as follows:

• Remove the timer case by grasping the front cover and

pulling outward.

• Remove the screw from the protective cover and remove

cover.

CAUTION: Do not allow the timer case to hang

from the wires. Damage to the wires and/or termi-

nals may result.

port of the control. A pair of elongated bolts are packaged

with the meter to hold the bypass valve to the back plate of

the control. Lubricate all o-rings with silicon lubricant.

SWEAT ADAPTOR INSTALLATION

The seat adaptors use a snap ring to hold them to the backplate

of the control valve. The back plate will need to be removed

from the valve for this connection. A pair of snap ring pliers,

PN 00-5916-09, are needed for this connection.

CONNECT THE BRINE LINE

Refer to Fig. 5.

• Measure a length of brine line sufficient to reach from the

brine tank to the brine fitting and then add four feet (1.3

meters). Cut both ends squarely and cleanly.

• Remove the brine valve from the brine tank and remove

the white nut and insert. Return float rod to its original

position.

• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the

plastic insert into the end of the tubing. Connect to the

brine valve and tighten nut.

• Remove white nut and insert from the brine elbow

assembly.

• Slip the white nut over one end of the tubing and press the

plastic insert into the end of the tubing. Connect to the

brine connection on the valve and tighten nut.

DRAIN LINE CONNECTION

Refer to Table 1, page 11, under the applicable tank size for

FIG. 4 FIG. 5

8 / CULLIGAN®MARK 10 AUTOMATIC WATER CONDITIONER

• Locate the 1/2" hole in the lower right hand corner of the

timer plate.

• Slip the meter cable through the hole and toward the

circuit board.

• Connect the lead to the circuit board at the upper most

portion of the lower set of terminal pins. Make sure the

cord lays across the circuit board.

• Locate the strain relief bushing in the parts pack. Place it

on the cable at the point of entry to the rear of the timer

plate and push it into the hole.
