Salt Supply, Usage and 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 tall, thin tank are flushed with 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.
Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He 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 condi-
tioner.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR CULLIGAN WATER CONDITIONER
Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your Culligan Water Conditioner looking
like new for years.
1
Do not place heavy objects on top of the salt storage tank or timer cover.
2
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.
3
Important: Protect your water conditioner and the entire drainline from freezing temperatures. DANGER: If your
unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble it. Call your Culligan Dealer.
4
Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not covered in this Owner's Guide,
a complete Service Manual covering the conditioner that you own may be obtained from your Culligan Dealer.
