Installation
This Owner’s Guide provides visual assembly reference only. Since specialized skills are
required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recommend that you contact your
local independently operated Culligan dealer to complete this installation.
Please refer to the Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine Drinking Water Systems Technical
Manual (01018587) for installation guidelines on the following topics:
• Faucet Installation • Flushing Procedure for Pre-Filters
• Storage Tank Settings • Post Installation Performance Measurements
Application Guidelines
The Good Water Machine is designed for use on potable water supplies meeting the
guidelines outlined in Table 1. The system should be installed on your home’s cold water
line. The flushing stream should discharge through an approved siphon break as illustrated
in Figure 1. Installation of this system must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
The Good Water Machine may also be used to provide crystal-clear Culligan water to
other drinking water using appliances such as an icemaker or refrigerator. Installing the
unit to supply filtered water to other appliances may be complicated and require additional
components for proper use. We again recommend that you contact your local independently
operated Culligan dealer to complete this type of installation. Use of the Good Water
Machine with these and other appliances must follow the guidelines set forth in the Aqua-
Cleer/Good Water Machine Drinking Water Systems Technical Manual ( 01018587).
Installations that do not follow these guidelines run the risk of working improperly or even
causing damage to the appliances.
