Operating Conditions - Culligan Iron-Cleer Installation And Operation Instructions With Parts List

Operating Conditions

The concentration limits listed below reflect the maximum individual limit that each contaminant was tested for separately without
any interference of other contaminants in the influent water.
In reality, however, we know that these contaminants may be present in combination which may limit the filter's ability to remove
these contaminants in higher concentrations. In some cases, individual sellers of this equipment have had success removing higher
concentrations of contaminants - iron, for example - above the limitations we have listed. If you are considering the installation of
this system for the reduction/removal of iron, manganese and/or hydrogen sulfide beyond the printed operating conditions below,
we recommend that you consult the manufacturer for proper application. Installation of this system under these circumstances may
void part(s) and/or all of the system warranty.
pH — The pH level of the influent water must be 7.0 - 8.5. A pH level of 7.0 - 8.5 is optimal for iron reduction.
Iron — This system is rated for a maximum of 10 ppm of ferrous (clear water) and/or ferric (red water) iron. Consult the factory if
iron bacteria is present.
Hydrogen Sulfide — Often referred to as rotten egg odor, hydrogen sulfide will be reduced significantly on water supplies
containing less than 5 ppm. Consult the manufacturer if hydrogen sulfide concentrations is greater than 5 ppm.
Organic Matter (Tannins) — The presence of organic matter such as tannins will prevent the oxidation process of converting the
dissolved element, such as iron or manganese, to a non-soluble precipitate or solid substance, allowing it to be filtered out. The
Iron-Cleer® is not designed to remove organic bound iron.
Note: Waste connections or
drain outlets shall be designed
and constructed to provide for
connection to the sanitary waste
system through an air gap of 2
pipe diameters or 25.4 mm (1 in.)
whichever is larger.
