Culligan notices typically found in softener manuals
Watch out: the company's literature typically includes the following warnings or advice.
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. - Culligan Medalst manual cited above.
The installation, service and maintenance of this equipment should be rendered by a qualified and trained service technician. Your local
independently operated Culligan dealer employs trained service and maintenance personnel who are experienced in the installation, function and repair of Culligan equipment.
This publication is written specifically for these individuals and is intended for their use.
We encourage Culligan users to learn about Culligan products, but we believe that product knowledge is best obtained by consulting
with your Culligan dealer. Untrained individuals who use this manual assume the risk of any resulting property damage or personal injury. - Culligan Medalst manual cited above.
Culligan Water Softener (Water Conditioner) Control Setting Tips
Setting the Timer Wheel Pins on an Older Culligan Water Softener: push in our pull out?

On an older Culligan softener "day wheel" or regen cycle frequency control like the one we show just above,
pushing the pin IN ACTIVATES that interval or recharge day and
pulling the pin OUT SKIPS that day.
For example on an older Culligan softener like the Mark 10, on the "time" wheel we start with all of the pins in the UP position, then we PUSH DOWN the pins we want to set the water softener regeneration frequency.
How to Decide the Softener Regen Cycle & Salt Dose

If you know the water hardness and are using that input and then selecting the manufacturer's recommended settings for that specific softener brand and model, then you'll be using recommended settings.
All of the water softener settings such as time of day, time of regeneration cycle, regeneration frequency, water hardness or salt dose, etc. are listed and described in the
article WATER SOFTENER ADJUSTMENT & CONTROLS.
