are required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recommend that you
contact your local independently operated Culligan dealer to complete this installation.
Please refer to the Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine Drinking Water Systems Technical
Manual (01-8819-46) for installation guidelines on the following topics:
• Faucet Installation

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

The Aqua-Cleer Good Water Machine
®
the guidelines outlined in Table 1. The system should be installed on your home's cold water
line. The flushing stream should discharge through an approved siphon break as illustrated in
Figure 1. Installation of this system must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
The Good Water Machine may also be used to provide crystal-clear Culligan water to other
drinking water using appliances such as an icemaker or refrigerator. Installing the unit to supply
filtered water to other appliances may be complicated and require additional components for
proper use. We again recommend that you contact your local independently operated Culligan
dealer to complete this type of installation. Use of the Good Water Machine with these and
other appliances must follow the guidelines set forth in the Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine
Drinking Water Systems Technical Manual (01-8819-46). Installations that do not follow these
guidelines run the risk of working improperly or even causing damage to the appliances.
