Culligan He 14" Softener-Cleer Plus Water Conditioner - Culligan High Efficiency Softener-Cleer 9" Owner's Manual

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 14" Softener-Cleer Plus Water Conditioner
The Culligan High Efficiency 14" Softener-Cleer Plus Water Conditioners are tested and certified by WQA against CSA
B483.1, NSF/ANSI Standard 61, NSF/ANSI Standard 372 for the low lead compliance, 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 regenerated brine and water used in its operation. Efficiency rated water softeners shall
havea rated salt efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on NaCl
equiva- lency) (477 grams of total hardness exchange per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its list-
ed 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:
Culligan High Efficiency 14" Softener-Cleer Plus Water Conditioner has been tested according to NSF/ANSI standard
42 for effective reduction of iron up to 6,000 gallons with influent dissolved iron level up to 10 ppm. The claim is only
valid for flow rate restricted to 11.6 gpm. The concentration 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 in-
forma- tion. 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 conditioner is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologi-
cally unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 12 lb. salt dosage and maxmum service flow rate for 14" models.
