Culligan knows the more informed you are about your water treatment systems, the more confident
you will be about its performance. It’s because of this and more than seventy years of commitment to
customer satisfaction that Culligan is providing this Performance Data Sheet to its customers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your
actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your
water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs.

pH Flow Rate Pressure
Barium 2.0 mg/L 7.5 ± 0.5 5.9 gpm 12 (psig)
Radium 226/228 5 pCi/L 7.5 ± 0.5 5.9 gpm 12 (psig)
This system is certified for barium and radium 226/228 reduction based on harness reduction. It is recommended
you test your water every 6 months to ensure the system is performing properly and that hardness, and therefore
barium and radium 226/228, are being reduced. Hardness test strips have been included. Additional strips are
available from you local Culligan dealer.
The Culligan Medallist Series
®
8 Water Softeners are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard
44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnisium) and barium/radium as verified and
substantiated by test data.
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 NSF/ANSI 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 softener’s capacity.
Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization and Warranty section of this Owner’s 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.
** The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 4.0 lb. salt dosage.
