Culligan Water Softener Installation, Operation & Service / Repair Manuals

Culligan CSM Side Mount Skid Series water softener & filter cited, discussed manual at InspectApedia.comThe following list of water softener or water conditioner manuals is for all Culligan water softeners;

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.

Question: Culligan HE (with aquasensor), 9" model

Hi, I have a Culligan HE (with aquasensor), 9" model (1 cu ft of resin). The board on the control unit does all the calculations for salt dosage and even has default settings for backwash time, brine draw-rinse and fast-rinse times based on the hardness value I input (around 14 GPG in our city).

The current (default) settings for backwash, brine draw-rinse and fast-rinse for 14 GPG is 5 min, 62 min, and 5 min, respectively.

I want to ensure that enough time is set to a) backwash to clear the resin bed of any debris without fluidizing the resin and losing media, b) rinse out any excess regenerant solution (fast-rinse) and I am concerned that 5 mins for backwash and 5 min for fast-rinse is not sufficient.

Can you recommend a better setting? We are currently set to Proportional Brining and both our flow meter and aqua-sensor can trigger regen. Thanks! - Julie 9/15/12

Reply:

Julie, forgive me for not understanding, but if you know the water hardness and are using that input and then selecting the manufacturer's recommended settings, I'm unclear why you'd want to make a change - are you using recommended settings but seeing a problem?

Great question, Anon, and with apology, there's not one "always right" answer. Typically the pin is pushed in but some softener controls may work the opposite way.

On a Culligan, pushing the pin IN activates that interval or recharge day and pulling the pin OUT skips that day.

I have a 25 year old softener and need to reset the day wheel pin. Does it get pushed in or pulled out

Anon:

All of the water softener settings I've been able to find are listed and described in the article WATER SOFTENER ADJUSTMENT & CONTROLS. There are several of which setting the timer or clock, the salt dose, and backwash frequency are critical.

If there is a constant drip at a softener backwash drain that continues hours after a regen cycle then there's a leaky valve or bad o-ring to find and repair.

I have a Culligan water softener and know the backwash time should be 8 to 10 minutes, what about the other settings, what to set them at?

Also, I hear a drip, drip, from the softener going down the drain often enough to worry about how much water is going "wasted" down the drain.. some is going down the drain, the loudest drip is inside the water softener itself, is this normal?
