Culligan Premier Series Installation, Operation And Service Instructions page 17

Locating the Equipment
Locate the mineral tanks on a firm foundation preferably concrete. The system should be located near an electrical outlet.
The electrical panel must be supplied with a 120 Volt 15 Amp circuit. Power for the recirculation pump must be run sepa-
rately. A floor drain to a central waste treatment system should be available near the installation, or a neutralization sys-
tem installed for the Deionizer. Local plumbing codes apply and special requirements may need to be met when installing
the system.
Assembling the Deionizer
The system is not fully assembled when shipped. The two tanks are set in place and the piping built to the specific tanks
shipped with it. The distribution system is mounted in each tank and shipped assembled inside it. Once the system is
built and tested with the control panel, the piping is removed and packaged to prevent damage. The piping will have to
be reassembled to the two tanks at the jobsite. An option offered is skid mounted and pre-piped (contact the factory). The
tanks, piping and Controls are pre-assembled and shipped complete if this option is purchased. Assembly is not required
on these systems.
1. Check the system for broken parts or damage that may have occurred during shipment. Damage during ship-
ment is considered freight damage and a freight claim should be filed with the freight lines. New parts must be
ordered to fix the damaged ones.
2. Set the tanks in place. The tanks need to be placed a specific distance apart. See the specifications for dimen-
sions.
3. Locate the harness assembly and unbox it and set it upright in front of the tanks roughly centering between
tanks. Locate the two (2) lower distribution pipes. These connect to the harness assembly and the bottom of
each tank.
4. Connect the tubing from the manifold block to the valves. Match the valve numbers on the tubing as shown in
Figure 7 on page
5. Load the resin and gravel into the mineral tanks through the top opening.
a. Fill each tank with water until the water level is 12" - 15" above the laterals. This will protect the laterals
from being damaged when loading the gravel.
b. Load gravel and level with a piece of plastic pipe. Be careful not to damage tank and bottom distribu-
tor. Refer to
c. Load the resin—Cation is placed in the upstream tank and Anion is placed in the downstream tank.
d. Fill the tank with water and replace upper baffle.
6. Install the upper distributors. The upper distributor is a single point screen connected to the flange adapter.
Locate the upper distribution pipes and connect between the tank and the harness at the upper points.
7. Once the tanks are located and the piping assembled to them, connect the inlet water supply, process water
piping and drain lines as shown on the installation drawings that follow. Be sure to install isolation valves on the
inlet and outlet of each system. Flush all lines of debris after completing the installation.
8. Connect the drawtube assemblies (customer provided) to the draw connection. The drawtubes are made to be
placed in a 55-gallon drum. The chemical can be drawn directly from its container.
WARNING! Air pressure must not exceed the maximum 100 psi.
