Service
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."
