Care And Cleaning Of Your Water Filter; Recommended Preventative Maintenance - Culligan Medallist Plus Series Owner's Manual

Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your
Culligan Water Filter looking like new for years.
1
Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the conditioner. Never use
harsh, abrasive cleaning compounds or those which contain acid, such as vinegar, bleach and
similar products.
2
Important: Protect your water filter and the entire drainline from freezing temperatures.
DANGER! If your unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble it. Call your
Culligan Dealer.
3
Important: Culligan water filters are sold for use on potable water, only. If at any time the
water becomes contaminated, such as during a "boil water" situation, the operation of the water
filter should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable. To do this, turn the
knob on the bypass valve to the bypass position. Then, call your Culligan dealer to have your
system sanitized before it is placed back into service.
4
Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not covered in the
Use and Care Guide, call your Culligan Dealer.
If you have further questions, please call your local independently operated Culligan dealer. He or
she will be glad to be of assistance to you.
Recommended Preventative Maintenance Inspection Schedule
The Culligan Medallist Series water filter has been designed to provide a good, consistent service life.
Routinely inspecting the system may help avoid potentially costly breakdowns related to circumstances
outside of the control of the dealer and/or user. The filter is for problem water use and routine
maintenance is required. Contact your local Culligan dealer to perform routine maintenance.
Component Suggested Inspection
Frequency
Entire System At Start-up, after infrequent
use (idle for one week or
more) or every  - 6 months
if on a private water supply.
Backwash Every 12 months or every
Flow time service is performed on
Controller the system.
Media As needed.
Reason for Maintenance
On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and
odors, particularly if musty or "rotten egg" (caused
by harmless sulfate-reducing bacteria) may indicate a
need for the system to be sanitized.
Build up of sediment, iron and/or other foreign materials
(found in some water supplies but not necessarily all)
could negatively affect system performance. Monitor
item for normal or unexpected wear.
Cullneu Filter - As water passes through the Cullneu filter,
the media slowly dissolves and neutralizes the water.
The rate at which the Cullneu media dissolves depends
on a number of factors such as temperature flow rate
and pH. Add media when pH elevation no longer
occurs.
Cullar - Replace when taste odor or chlorine can no
longer be removed.
Filtr-Cleer - Media may need to be reconditioned or
replaced depending on water characteristics.
