We promise that you’ll never want to be without it again. Congratulations, too, on selecting one of the “first family” of water filters in the prestigious Culligan Sulfur-Cleer™. With Culligan’s many years of knowledge and experience in water treatment, you can be confident that the model you selected has been designed and engineered to provide years of service with a minimum of care and attention.
Introduction Operation Step 1. Service Cycle In the service cycle, raw water enters the inlet port of the media tank. The oxidation process begins. This air/water contact oxidizes the iron and hydrogen sulfide in the water. Oxidized iron particles are trapped by the filter bed as the water passes through. Filtered water enters the lower distributor and travels up the distributor tube to the outlet port on the filter valve.

Operation Of Aeration Pump The Sulfur-Cleer™ system introduces air into the media tank and bleeds off the old head of air automatically. The exchange of the air into the media tank is controlled independently of the recharge frequency of the filter media tank, allowing the air to be exchanged on a more frequent basis.
Hydrogen Sulfide — Often referred to as rotten egg odor, hydrogen sulfide will be reduced significantly on water supplies containing less than 5 ppm as tested by Culligan. Consult the factory if hydrogen sulfide concentrations are greater than 5 ppm.
