Installation - Culligan 9" Owner's Manual

Note: Read this section entirely before starting the installation. Follow all applicable plumbing
and electrical codes.
For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation
of the system. This system and its installation must comply with state and local
regulations. The use of saddle valves is not permitted.
With the exception of media containers, open the remaining containers, remove all the components,
and inspect them before starting installation.
Placement
Refer to Figure 1 for system placement.
• Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities.
• Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as near the media tank as possible.
• Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to
the sanitary waste system through an air gap of two pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.
See Figure 1.
Tank Assembly
• 9" and 10" tanks are filled with media at the factory.
• Before the unit can be connected to the plumbing, you must insert the manifold and load the
media into the tank for 12" and 14" units.
Position the Mineral Tank(s)
Caution! Do not lay the tank down unless a suitable lifting device is available. Personal
injury and damage to the unit can result if dropped.
Note: For Municipal units allow the media to soak for 24 hours.
Determine the location for the mineral tanks(s) prior to loading, because they will be difficult to move
after the underbedding and gravel are loaded.
