Culligan Medallist Series Automatic Water Conditioner Owners Guide
THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO YOUR NEW WORLD OF BETTER LIVING WITH CULLIGAN WATER.
The Culligan Medallist Series Water Softeners are tested and validated by WQA and certified by UL against ANSI/NSF Standard 44 for the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium, along with Barium and Radium 226/228*.
ANSI/NSF 44 Water Softener 81WN
For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. Because the ability of the unit to remove Barium and Radium is based upon reducing hardness to less than 1gpg, effective hardness reduction should be periodically verified. Hardness sample kits are available through your local Culligan Dealer. If this is your first experience having soft, conditioned water in your home, youll be amazed at the marvelous difference it makes. We promise that youll never want to be without it again. Congratulations, too, on selecting one of the first family of water conditioners in the prestigious Culligan Medallist Series. With Culligans 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.

Introduction (cont.)

SAVINGS GALORE
A water conditioner is frequently referred to as the appliance that pays for itself. Youll find that your savings on soaps, detergents, cleaning aids, and personal care products will help your familys household budget. And if you place a price on your time, youll 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 from your independently operated Culligan dealer.
How Your Water Conditioner Works
Why Water Gets Hard And How Its 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 exhibited in 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 on clear water iron, regular resin bed cleaning is needed to keep the bed 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.

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.
The Culligan Process (cont.)
B. The Mineral Tank contains the Cullex resin column, Cullsan underbedding, and an outlet manifold. 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 service person, 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 service person will be able to tell you about how often salt must be added to the salt storage container.

Familiarization

Power Loss The AccuSoft circuit board is equipped with a Hi-Cap Capacitor and EEPROM memory chip. The capacitor is capable of maintaining the time, for at least two days, 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 FLO 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 a regeneration at the preset time, press the REGEN button. The REG light will light. To initiate an immediate regeneration, press and hold the REGEN button for at least five seconds. The REG 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 REG enunciator on the display will also be lit. Service The Culligan Medallist 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 and error code will be the only items displayed when service is required on the control.

Salt Supply, Usage and Service
Salt is the mineral used to recharge your water conditioner. A brine solution is automatically made up in the bottom of the salt storage container, the Cullex resin beads in the tall, thin tank are flushed with brine solution as a step in the recharging process. Your Culligan Water Conditioner has been carefully designed to get the greatest amount of softening capacity from the salt it uses. Here is some pertinent information about salt usage, types and service. Salt Economizer This control is set at the time of installation, and determines salt usage according to the water hardness, number of persons in the household, and water usage. What Kind of Salt is Best All Culligan Water Conditioners are designed to use any water conditioner salt of good quality, including rock, pellet, solar, or evaporated types. All rock salt, regardless of source, contains insoluble material which collects at the bottom of the salt storage tank and requires periodic clean-out. Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He is the expert and can provide you with the best product for your Culligan Water Conditioner. Automatic Salt Delivery Service Ask your Culligan Dealer for details about salt delivery service. You can have your salt supply replenished on a regular basis. Whether you have automatic delivery service or pick up salt from your Culligan Dealer, you will be getting quality salt packaged according to rigid Culligan specifications. Using Culligan Brand Salt will help assure continued efficiency and trouble-free operation of your water conditioner. Care and Cleaning of Your Culligan Water Conditioner Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or timer cover. 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. 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. Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not covered in this Owners Guide, a complete Service Manual covering the conditioner that you own may be obtained from your Culligan Dealer.
To Clean Out the Salt Storage Tank
A periodic clean-out of the Salt Storage Tank is necessary to keep your Culligan Water Conditioner at peak operating efficiency. Do it at least every 2 years when the salt supply is low. Follow these step-by-step procedures: Tools needed: Scoop Clean, bucket-size container Phillips-head screwdriver Garden hose, Household scrub brush or sponge 1. Remove the salt storage tank cover and the cap from the brine valve chamber. 2. Lift the brine valve out of the brine valve chamber and set aside in an upright position. 3. If youd like to save any clean, dry salt remaining in the tank, remove it and place it in a clean container. 4. Using the scoop, dig out and discard as much remaining salt, water and debris as possible. 5. Remove the brine valve chamber by removing the chamber retaining screw and nut. 6. Remove the salt plate at the bottom of the tank. 7. Lay the salt tank on its side and direct a brisk stream of water from your garden hose to its inside to rinse out all residue. 8. Using a household scrub brush and a mild soapy solution, clean the salt plate. This will complete the tank cleaning. 9. Stand salt tank upright. Make sure to place the tank on a flat, smooth, solid surface. 10. Replace the salt plate. Place brine valve chamber in position and affix with screw and nut. 11. Insert the brine valve into the chamber and replace brine valve chamber cap. 12. Fill the salt storage tank with 4 to 6 inches of water. 13. Fill the tank with salt to within a few inches of the top. 14. Replace salt storage tank cover.
Things to Check Before You Call For Service
If you unexpectedly experience hard water, make these simple checks before calling your Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service. IMPORTANT If any of the following conditions is found, the water conditioner should be manually recharged according to instructions on page 9 after you have corrected the problem. POWER SUPPLY Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch which has been turned off. Reset conditioner to proper time of day and then plug in. BLOWN FUSE Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel. Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit breaker. POWER FAILURE Any interruption in your power supply or time changes - such as daylight savings - will disrupt your conditioners recharge schedule by causing the timer to run off-schedule. Reset timer to proper time of day. BYPASS VALVES Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv Bypass, if used, should be in the Push for Service position. If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are opened and that the bypass valve is closed. NO WATER If you arent 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 and call your Culligan dealer for service. INCREASED USAGE Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., all will result in more water usage and will require more capacity from your conditioner. You can reprogram your recharging schedule by following the directions on pages 9 and 10. Call your Culligan dealer for advice and save a service call. SALT SUPPLY Check it. Refill if necessary and wait approximately 4 hours for salt to dissolve before initiating a recharge cycle. SALT BRIDGING Salt bridging occurs when a space is formed between the salt and the water underneath, preventing the salt from dissolving to make brine. No brine, no soft conditioned water! High humidity and/or use of some brands of purified salt products may cause a salt bridge to form. The best way to check and eliminate a salt bridging problem is to take a broom handle or similar instrument and make a mark 34 inches from the end. Then carefully begin to probe down through the salt with

Before You Call For Service (cont.)
the instrument. Should an obstruction be found before the mark on your instrument reaches the rim of the salt storage tank, a salt bridge is likely to have formed. Continue to probe and break the salt bridge completely. Caution! Do not force the implement past the mark as damage to the horizontal salt plate may occur.
When and How to Bypass Your Water Conditioner
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the push-button Cul-Flo-Valv Bypass, or a 3-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 soft water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses. 2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while youre away. PUSH-BUTTON BYPASS In the back of Culligan water conditioners is a push-button Cul-Flo-Valv Bypass. To bypass unit, simply push the red knob (marked Push to Bypass) against the bypass valve body. To return to soft water service, reverse the procedure - push the blue knob (marked Push for Soft Water) against the bypass valve body.

TESTING CONDITIONS & RESULTS: Flow Rate: 7.2 gpm Capacity: 20,200 grains @ 5.0 lb. salt Pressure: 30 - 40 psi 29,400 grains @ 11.0 lb. salt Acidity: Non-Corrosive 35,000 grains @ 17.0 lb. salt Temperature: 68 (20C) Efficiency Rated Dosage**: 4,050 gr./lb. pH: 7.6
SOFTENER SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Flow Rate: 7.2 gpm (27 Lpm) Pressure Drop at Maximum Flow Rate: 12 psi (83 kPa) Operating Temperature Range: 33 - 120F (1 - 50C) Maximum Drain Flow Rate: 2.0 gpm (8 Lpm) Operating Pressure Range: 20-125 psi (140-860 kPa) Operating Pressure Range (Canada): 20 - 90 psi (140 - 620 kPa) The Culligan Medallist Series Water Softeners are tested and validated by WQA and certified by UL against ANSI/NSF Standard 44 for the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium (hardness) along with Barium and Radium 226/228*. This softener is efficiency rated, it has a Demand Initiated Regeneration (D.I.R.) feature which complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. The softener has a rated salt efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt used (based on NaCl equivalency), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in ANSI/NSF Standard 44. This test represents the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. Operational efficiency is typically less than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softeners capacity. Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization and Warranty section of this Owners Guide for more specific product information. To avoid contamination from improper handling and installation, your system should only be installed and serviced by your Culligan Man. Performance will vary based on local water conditions. The substances reduced by this system are not necessarily in your water. Culligan water softeners are designed to work with any salt of good quality, although it is recommended that you ask your local Culligan Man for his suggestion on the best type and grade of salt to use in this softener. NOTICE: This softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

*Verified utilizing hardness surrogate per ANSI/NSF Standard 44. **The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 5.0 lb. salt dosage.
