Component Description Control Valve Assembly The reliable Power Valve directs the flow of water during recharge. Constructed of durable, non-corroding materials, the pistonoperated design assures positive, accurate positioning even on turbid problem water supplies. Time and frequency of recharge are controlled by an adjustable, yet simple, circuit board. The circuit board can be adjusted to suit a wide range of water types and family sizes. Media Tank The media tank contains the outlet manifold.
Preparation The success of the installation will depend to a great extent on advance planning and preparation. Careful attention to the unit’s location, accessibility to electrical and drain facilities, and the availability of the proper tools will ensure a professional looking installation. Of utmost importance is the assurance that the filter has been properly applied and meets all specifications.
Pressure The filter is designed to operate within a pressure range of 20 to 125 psi. Pressures below 20 psi may cause the unit to perform and recharge inefficiently, while pressures above 125 psi can cause damage and noisy operation of the control valve. Low pressure is generally not a problem with municipal water supplies, although some adjustments of the well pump system may be required on private supplies. Although uncommon, some municipal supplies may exceed the high pressure limit.
Location Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines. Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities. 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 13, for maximum drain line length. Note: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain restrictions.
Filling Procedure Filtr-Cleer® Water Filter The 8” Filtr-Cleer filters are shipped with one media pack and the 10” Filtr-Cleer filters are shipped with two media packs. Verify that the proper number of media packs are on site before loading the tank. Place the manifold inside the tank. Position the tip of the manifold in the recess located in the bottom of the tank. • Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag. • Place a wide-mouth funnel in the tank opening.
Cullneu® Filters Cullneu filters are shipped with 2 bags of Cullneu with 8” filters and 3 bags of Cullneu with 10” filters. Verify that the proper amount of media is on site before loading. • Place the manifold inside the tank. Position the tip of the manifold in the recess located in the bottom of the tank. • Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag. • Place a wide mouth funnel in the tank opening. The Cullneu media should be added with no water in the tank.
Installation Placement Refer to Figure 3 for system placement. • Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities. Place the outlet (black coupling) of the tank on the left. • Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as near the media tank as possible. Figure 4 Figure 4 Install Decals Locate the data plate decals and model decals packed with the control valve. Adhere them to the cover and backplate as shown in figures 4 and 4a.
Mount The Control Valve - 1” Control See Figure 6 for a visual on mounting the control valve to the tank. • Assemble the o-rings, located in the parts pack, to the tank adapter. • The valve adapter o-ring sits on the first step on the adapter. See Figure 7. Note: Do not push the top o-ring down to the flange surface on the adapter. Note: The larger of the two o-rings in the parts part goes between the adapter and the valve, do not stretch the smaller o-ring onto the top of the tank adapter.
For backwash flow control conversion, refer to Figure 8 and instructions listed below. • Remove the u-clip of the drain elbow assembly and pull the drain elbow straight off. • Remove the back wash flow control located behind the elbow. Put the correct restrictor in its place. • Insert the flow control washer with the molded numbers facing toward the valve body. Refer to Table 1. For the 6.0 gpm flow control, insert the flow control with the molded “5.5” facing away from the valve body.
Bypass Valve Installation - 3/4” Medallist Time Clock Units Only The bypass valve connects directly to the backplate of the valve with a pair of couplings and screws (Figure 9). To facilitate this connection, remove the plate by pulling up on the u-clip on the back of the valve and removing the two mounting screws. Lubricate all o-rings with silicone lubricant.
To bypass, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob) until the knob stops as shown. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! (Figure 12a). To return to service, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise (see directional arrow on the end of knob) until the knob stops as shown. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! (Figure 12b) Drain Line Connection Refer to Figure 8 and Table 2 & 3, under the applicable tank size for drain line length and height limitations. • Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from end of drain elbow.
Settings Your Culligan Medallist Water Filter is designed to perform efficiently on a wide range of water supplies. Before the unit can be recharged and put into service, several settings must be made. Backwash Backwash expands and loosens the media bed, and flushes away accumulated particulate matter. The backwash interval is preset at the factory for 10 minutes, which is adequate for most water supplies.
Circuit Board Circuit Board Connections Refer to Figure 14 for all circuit board connections. Power terminals are located along the side edge of the circuit board. The connection marked ‘MAIN’ is for the main wire harness. The Soft-Minder connection is located in the upper left side of the board. Next to the meter connection is a connection marked ‘BATT’, which is for the optional battery back-up. All terminals are clearly marked to ease installation.
Programming Dip Switch Definitions The circuit board is shipped with all DIP switches in the off position. Prior to programming the controller some DIP switches may need to be moved to the ON position. Because each switch serves a specific purpose, please review the following information, moving the required switches to an ON position as necessary for each controller in the system. The definitions and purpose are as follows: Note: Set DIP switch number 3 to the on position for filter applications.

Operation, Care & Maintenance Cullneu® Water Filter Refill As water passes through the Cullneu Water Filter, the media slowly dissolves and neutralizes the water. The rate at which the Cullneu media dissolves depends on a number of factors such as temperature, flow rate, and pH. Because these factors are so variable, it is difficult to determine how often new Cullneu media should be added. Tables 4 and 5 show the recommended intervals for inspection and replenishment of Cullneu mineral.
Care and Cleaning Protect the operation and appearance of the water filter by following these precautions: • Do not place heavy objects on top of the control valve cover. • Use only mild soap and warm water to clean the exterior of the unit. Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or compounds which contain acid or bleach. • Protect the conditioner and drain line from freezing temperatures.
