Culligan knows the more informed you are about your water treatment systems, the more confident you will be about its
performance. It's because of this and more than sixty years of commitment to customer satisfaction that Culligan is providing
this Performance Data Sheet to its customers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with your actual water
treatment needs. It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to determine
your actual water treatment needs.

The Culligan Silver Series Water Softeners are tested and validated by WQA and certified by UL against ANSI/NSF Standard 44 for
the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium (hardness) along with Barium and Radium 226/228*.
This softener is efficiency rated, it has a Demand Initiated Regeneration (D.I.R.) feature which complies with specific perfor-
mance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. The softener has a
rated salt efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt used (based on NaCl equavalency),
and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in ANSI/NSF
Standard 44. This test represents the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the
actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. Operational efficiency is typically less than the efficiency due to
individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce the softener's capacity.
Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization and Warranty section of this Owner's Guide for more specific product information.
To avoid contamination from improper handling and installation, your system should only be installed and serviced by your
Culligan Man. Performance will vary based on local water conditions. The substances reduced by this system are not necessarily in
your water.
Culligan water softeners are designed to work with any salt of good quality, although it is recommended that you ask your local
Culligan Man for his suggestion on the best type and grade of salt to use in this softener.
NOTICE: This softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
† The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 4 lb salt dosage for 9" models.
*Verified utilizing hardness surrogate per ANSI/NSF Standard 44.
