Salt Supply, Usage & Service - Culligan Soft-Minder 2005 Owner's Manual

Salt Supply, Usage & Service
Salt is the mineral used to "recharge" your water conditioner. A brine solution is automatically made up in the bottom of the salt
storage container, the Cullex resin beads in the mineral tank are flushed with the brine solution as a step in the recharging
®
process.
Your Culligan Water Conditioner has been carefully designed to get the greatest amount of softening capacity from the salt it uses.
Here is some pertinent information about salt usage, types and service.
Salt Economizer
This control is set at the time of installation, and determines salt usage according to the water hardness, number of persons in the
household, and water usage.
What Kind of Salt is Best
All Culligan Water Conditioners are designed to use any water conditioner salt of good quality, including "rock", "pellet", "solar", or
"evaporated" types.
All rock salt, regardless of source, contains insoluble material which collects at the bottom of the salt storage tank and requires
periodic clean-out.
If purified salt products are used, the salt storage compartment will require less frequent clean-out, but you must check more
frequently for "bridging".
Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He or she is the
expert and can provide you with the best product for your Culligan Water Conditioner.
Automatic Salt Delivery Service
Ask your Culligan Dealer for details about salt delivery service. You can have your salt supply replenished on a regular basis.
Whether you have automatic delivery service or pick up salt from your Culligan Dealer, you will be getting quality salt packaged
according to rigid Culligan specifications. Using Culligan Brand Salt will help assure continued efficiency and trouble-free operation
of your water conditioner.
Sodium Information: "Water softeners using sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water. Persons who are on
sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake."
