Conditioner Operation - Culligan Smart Filter Arsenic Reduction Water Conditioner Owner's Manual

Conditioner
Water Meter Mode
Operation
In water meter mode, the controller keeps track of the quantity of water that has flowed through the
resin bed. When the set point is reached, regeneration is triggered. If time clock backup is set and
the capacity has not been exhausted but the days since last regeneration is greater than time clock
backup, setting the filter will regenerate.
Remote Display Control
The remote display control displays the current status of the water filter and allows for remote
control. It can be located up to 200 feet away from the filter (depending upon building construction
materials). The wireless remote displays information about filter performance, problems, remaining
and allows remote control for regeneration.
The wireless remote control is designed to communicate at 915 MHz and to work without
interference with other 915 MHz devices such as cordless telephones and baby monitors.
Modem
The modem allows for the system to be remotely monitored detecting problems before they occur
and to keep the system software up to date with the latest advances.
Manual Regeneration
Manual regeneration can be initiated via the filter control valve or remote display. Manual
regeneration can be initiated to begin regeneration immediately or that night.
Settings
The Culligan Automatic Water Filter is designed to perform efficiently on a wide range of water
supplies. In order to ensure proper operation of the filter, and before initiating the initial recharge
and putting the unit into service, the following settings need to be made.
Backwash
The backwash setting is important in that backwashing expands and loosens the media bed. This
flushes away the particulate matter that has accumulated in the bed. The backwash interval is
preset at the factory for 10 minutes, which is adequate for most water supplies. It is recommended
that the backwash cycle last just long enough so that the effluent from the drain line is clear.
Backwash too long and water is wasted, not long enough and the tank becomes fouled with
sediment. Refer to the programming section for instructions on adjusting the backwash time.
Pause Cycle
Because this Automatic Water Filter shares it timer with other water conditioning products, it
momentarily stops in a pause cycle. This setting is used in other controls for the eduction and
rinsing of salt, or other regenerant chemicals. The pause cycle is factory set at 2 minutes. Refer to
the programming section for instructions on adjusting the pause time.
Rapid Rinse
The rapid rinse setting settles and compacts the media after backwashing and flushes any
residual particulate matter from the bottom of the filter bed before returning the filter to the service
position. The rapid rinse setting is factory set at 10 minutes. Refer to the programming section for
instructions on adjusting the rapid rinse time.
