Introduction IT’S ALL SO EASY, SO ECONOMICAL, SO EFFICIENT, SO ENJOYABLE! KIND TO SKIN AND COMPLEXION Soft water will help prevent red, itchy or dry skin because there are no hardness impurities to cause soreness, no soap curd to coat the skin. Shaving is easier, smoother - either with blade or electric shaver. BATHING AND SHOWERING You’ll use far less soap with conditioned water. Use your soap very sparingly - not as you did before soft water.
Introduction (cont.) SAVINGS GALORE A water conditioner is frequently referred to as “the appliance that pays for itself ”. You’ll find that your savings on soaps, detergents, cleaning aids, and personal care products will help your family’s household budget. And if you place a price on your time, you’ll be most happy with the time saved by your new family servant.
How Your Water Conditioner Works Why Water Gets Hard And How It’s 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.
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.
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.

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 mineral tank are flushed with the 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.
Care and Cleaning of Your Water Conditioner Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years. 1 2 Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or timer cover.
