the salt storage tank, a salt bridge is likely to have formed. Continue to probe and break the salt bridge

occur.

When and How to Bypass Your Water Conditioner

Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times
when the water conditioner should be bypassed, using the push-button Cul-Flo-Valv
or a 3-way bypass valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste
soft water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge
while you're away.
PUSH-BUTTON BYPASS
In the back of Culligan water conditioners is a push-button Cul-Flo-Valv Bypass. To bypass
unit, simply push the red knob (marked "Push to Bypass") against the bypass valve body. To
return to soft water service, reverse the procedure - push the blue knob (marked "Push for Soft
Water") against the bypass valve body.
