Preparation
The success of the installation will depend to a great extent on advanced planning and preparation. Careful
attention to the unit's location, accessibility to electrical and drain facilities, and the availibility of the proper tools
will ensure a professional looking installation. Of utmost importance is the assurance that the filter has been
properly applied and meets all specifications.
APPLICATION
Correct application is directly associated with the performance and life expectancy of any water conditioner. It is
important, therefore, to understand how your Culligan® Water Filter functions, and to know its capabilities and
limitations so that a correct application can be made. By following the guidelines and recommendations set forth in
this manual, you can be certain your conditioner is applied correctly.
FILTR-CLEER
The Filtr-Cleer Automatic Water Filter is capable of removing particulate matter down to 15 microns particle size. It
will not remove color, organics, collodial turbidity or dissolved solids. Some applications follow:
• Removal of suspended matters in any water system.
• Removal of particulate matter, such as clay, mud, etc.
• Prefiltration of oxidized iron ahead of an automatic or manual softener.
• Removal of light sand. NOTICE: If sands cannot be removed from the Filtr-Cleer tank during backwashing,
a sand trap should be installed.
• After the retention tank when a Cul-Cleer® system is used to correct hydrogen sulfide or collodial suspension
problems.
The quality and number of gallons of filtered water between backwashes will depend upon the amount, type, and
size of the particulate matter being filtered. If a water sample is sent to our laboratory, where application of a Filtr-
Cleer unit is contemplated, write "Filtr-Cleer Analysis" on the sample tag. Send an additional sample of water for
a standard water analysis. The laboratory will test for Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) and suspended solids
(mg/L). The sample will also be filtered through 10 micron filter paper and NTU run on a filtered sample. If the NTU
of the raw water exceeds 150, suspended solids exceed 150 mg/L or the filtered water through the 10 micron filter
paper is of an unacceptable quality, a Filtr-Cleer filter may not be applicable. As a guide, the U.S. Public Health
Drinking Water standards states the turbidity should not exceed 1 NTU. The exact number of gallons filtered
between backwashes cannot be given because of many variables.
CULLAR FILTER
Automatic Water Filter with Cullar Media will control chlorine taste and odor, and will also remove most objectional
organic colors. It will not remove hydrogen sulfide. It is important to note that whenever the cause of an objectionable
taste or odor has not been established, Health Authorities should determine if water is safe to drink. If bacterial
contamination is present, a Cul-Cleer system is indicated. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CULLNEU FILTER
Automatic Water Filter with Cullneu Media will neutralize slightly acid water (pH of 5.2 to ≥ 6.8) and thus help to
prevent unsightly brown or green stains due to corrosion of household plumbing. If the pH is from 5 to 6, 1 part of
Cullneu C media should be mixed with 5 parts of Cullneu media to provide additional neutralizing capability. If the
water to be treated has a pH less than 5, a high hardness, or a high carbon dioxide level, Cullneu may not be
applicable; a solution feeder should be used. Since Cullneu adds hardness, it should be used prior to a softener.
NOTICE: Under dynamic conditions it may be necessary to mix 5 parts Cullneu with 1 part Cullneu C to effectively
raise the pH.
In order to size and apply the equipment correctly, a complete analysis of the water supply should be obtained.
4 CULLIGAN GOLD SERIES WATER FILTERS
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The water conditioner is shipped from the factory in several cartons. Remove all components from their cartons
and inspect them before starting installation.
Control Valve Assembly - Includes the 5-cycle regeneration control valve and the Accusoft® Microprocessor. Small
parts packages will contain additional installation hardware, and the conditioner Owner’s Guide.
Media Tank - Includes Tripl-Hull™ media tank.
Outlet Manifold - Includes the manifold for use in the Tripl-Hull tank.
Bypass Valve - Includes the molded bypass valve, the interconnecting couplings, and the assembly pins.
Media Pack - Includes the filter media, see the Filling Procedure located in the Installation section for proper
filling instructions.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
The following tools and supplies will be needed, depending on installation method. Observe all applicable codes.
All Installations
• Safety glasses
• Phillips screwdrivers, small and medium tip.
• Gauge assembly (PN 00-3044-50 or equivalent)
• Silicone lubricant (PN 00-4715-07 or equivalent) - DO NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS
• A bucket, preferably light-colored
• Towels
Tools & Materials
• Torch, solder and flux for sweat copper connections
• Threading tools, pipe wrenches and thread sealer for threaded connections.
• Saw, solvent and cement for plastic pipe connections.
• Drain line, 1/2” (PN 00-3030-82, gray, semi-flexible; or PN 00-3319-46, black, semi-rigid; or equivalent)
• Thread sealing tape
• Pressure reducing valve (if pressure exceeds 125 psi [860 kPa], PN 00-4909-00 or equivalent)
• Pipe and fittings suited to the type of installation
APPLICATION
Pressure - If pressure exceeds 125 psi (860 kPa), install a pressure reducing valve (see materials checklist). On
private water systems, make sure the minimum pressure (the pressure at which the pump starts) is greater than 20
psi (140 kPa). Adjust the pressure switch if necessary.
CAUTION: The use of a pressure reducing valve may limit the flow of water
in the household.
Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct
sunlight. Ensure that the system is installed so that it is only supplied with cold water.
LOCATION
Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines.
Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer
to the Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page 10), for maximum drain line length.
NOTICE: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or airgap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain
restrictions. The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Electrical facilities - A 10-foot cord and wall mount plug-in transformer are provided. The customer should provide
a receptacle, preferably one not controlled by a switch that can be turned off accidentally. Observe local electrical
codes.
