Pressure Range: 30-120 psi (207-827 kPa)
Temperature Range: 40-100 ºF (4.4 - 37.7 ºC)
Precautions
WARNING! Follow all precautions indicated in the manual provided with the Culligan water
treatment system.
WARNING! For systems using a booster or distribution pump, the pressure of the treated water
cannot exceed the pressure of the cold water supply.
WARNING! Reducing the Booster pump pressure below incoming pressure will allow the proper
operation of the ClearLink.
WARNING! For cold water use only. Do not use on hot water line.
CAUTION! Control box must be protected against freezing temperatures, frost, snow, sleet and
ice. Exposure to these can produce cracks and product failures.
CAUTION! The Filter/RO should be flushed before installing into the system to ensure the proper
operation of the ClearLink.
CAUTION! This product has a limited service life. We recommend that a record be kept regarding
the date of install and any other performed maintenance. Because of the product’s
limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we
strongly recommend that the control box be replaced every ten years.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed
thoroughly. Let the filtered water run for 5-6 minutes before using.
• The ClearLink estimates filter life based on flow and time. Changes in taste, odor, color and/or flow of the filtered
water could indicate that the filter(s) should be replaced.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.

Setting Capacity and TDS Function (All Models)
NOTE Set capacity and TDS function before starting installation.
NOTE To access the dip switches for setting capacity and TDS function, open the control box by removing
the three screws in the rear cover.
Find the dip switches on the front of the circuit board. SW2 and SW3 set the time and capacity for the filter reminder.
SW1: OFF = Disabled ON = Enabled
Enables/Disables the TDS function (Enable only for RO systems). The system will measure the difference between the
feed and product water to determine if the RO is working. If installing an RO system with a Mineral Boost cartridge, this
feature may need to be disabled so that the alert indicator does not illuminate prematurely for RO membrane replacement.
SW2: OFF = 500 gallons ON = 1,000 gallons
SW3: OFF = 180 days ON = 365 days
SW6 is used for production testing and should be left in the off position.

3. Connect the control box to the cold water shut-off valve and
the water line to the facet as shown. Culligan recommends
1/2 - 3/4 additional turns past finger-tight.
CAUTION! The stationary hex nut on the outlet of
the ClearLink should not be used to
over-tighten the hose fitting.
NOTE The control box must be in a vertical position.
NOTE If space does not allow for mounting the control
box onto the valve, it can be mounted on a wall and
connected using flexible lines. (purchased separately).
