Culligan knows the more informed you are about your water treatment systems, the more confident you will be about
its performance. It's because of this and more than seventy years of commitment to customer satisfaction that Culligan is
providing this Performance Data Sheet to its customers.
NOTICE Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with
your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that before purchasing a
water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine your actual
water treatment needs.

Product: Culligan High Efficiency 12" Softener-Cleer Water Conditioner
The Culligan High Efficiency 12" Softener-Cleer Water Conditioners are tested and certified by WQA
against CSA B483.1, NSF/ANSI Standard 61, NSF/ANSI Standard 372 for the low lead compli-
ance, NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium), and
NSF/ANSI 42 for the effective iron reduction up to 10ppm, as verified and substantiated by test data.

Name of Substance
Barium
Radium 226/228
This system is certified for barium and radium 226/228 reduction based on hardness reduction. It is recommended
you test your water every six months to ensure the system is performing properly and that hardness, and therefore bari-
um and radium 226/228, are being reduced. Hardness test strips have been included. Additional strips are available
from your local Culligan dealer.
An efficiency rated water softener is a DIR softener which also complies with specific performance specifications intend-
ed to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Efficiency rated water softeners shall
have a rated salt efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on NaCl
equivalency) (477 grams of total hardness exchange per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed
rating. The efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum
possible efficiency the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system
has been installed. It is typically less than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness,
water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softener's capacity.
Dissolved Iron Reduction Testing Conditions and Results:
The Culligan High Efficiency 12" Softener-Cleer Water Conditioner has been tested according to NSF/ANSI standard
42 for effective reduction of iron up to 4,000 gallons with influent dissolved iron level up to 10 ppm. The concentra-
tion of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the
permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42.

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 service technician to suggest 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 7 lb. salt dosage and maxmum service flow rate for 12" models.
