Capacity And Salt Settings - Culligan SILVER SERIES Service Manual

CAPACITY AND SALT SETTINGS

The current software calculates the gallon capacities based on the yoke style tanks. The yoke style tanks have 0.86

ft of Cullex resin in the 9" tanks and 1.4 ft

have 1.0 ft in the 9" tanks and 1.5 ft
obtained with the added resin follow the procedure listed below for calculating the capacity settings.
1. Compensated Water Hardness.
If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by the following procedure:
1. Multiply the iron by 0.1 and add the result to the hardness.
Example: (3 ppm of iron x 0.1) + 25 gpg of hardness = 25.3 gpg of total hardness
2. Choose the % capacity you want and refer to the table below for the appropriate multiplier.
Example: 67% capacity gives a multiplier of 1.5.
TABLE 3
% Capacity 50%
Multiplier 2
3. Multiply the result from Step 1 by the multiplier chosen in Step 2. This is the compensated hardness.
Example: 25.3 gpg total hardness x 1.5 = 38 gpg compensated hardess.
4. Use the effective hardness for sizing and to determine salt dosage and regeneration frequency.
5. The forced regeneration feature should be used for Soft-Minder meter operation to ensure the resin bed
does not become iron fouled due to lack of water flow. See "Programming the Option Settings" for the
forced regeneration feature.
2. Salt Dosage
From Table 4, select the salt dosage at which the softener will be operated.
• Low Setting — Maximum salt efficiency, more frequent regeneration, reduced overall softening capacity.
• Medium Setting — Good combination of efficiency and overall softening capacity.
• High Setting — Maximum softening capacity, less frequent regeneration, and reduced salt efficiency.
Recommended whenever iron is present and for hardness levels above 30 Grains Per Gallon, or high volume
water usage.
