The Culligan Gold Series 9" Water Softeners are tested and certified by WQA and UL against NSF/ANSI
Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium) 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 hard-
ness 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 actu-
al 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 contami-
nants 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 lb salt dosage for 9" models.
