Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Culligan® Aqua-Cleer® Good Water Machine™ drinking water system. Your new system is designed to bring you years of healthful, deliciously crystal­clear Culligan bottled water straight from your kitchen tap.
With three separate filter technologies and its unique space-saving design, the Aqua-Cleer Good Water Machine is the most advanced drinking water system available today from Culligan.
ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM
The reverse osmosis method of water treatment has long been regarded as one of the most efficient and effective ways to reduce impurities. It’s the technology we’ve used to build your new Culligan Aqua-Cleer Good Water Machine. In addition, we’ve incorpo­rated activated carbon and fine particle filtration to bring you one of the most effective systems available today.

water. With its special faucet installed on your sink, it’s like getting
®
Particle Filter The particle filter screens out dirt, sand, rust, and other microscopic particles 15 times smaller than a grain of sand.
Activated Carbon Filter The activated carbon filter gets rid of bad tastes and odors, including chlorine. If present in your untreated water supply.
Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter The reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filter squeezes out dissolved substances, including radium, lead and many others. These substances may not be in your water. See Perfor­mance Data Sheet for list of substances and removal percentages.
Manifold Assembly The manifold serves as the functional hub of the system, directing and regulating the flow through each of the system’s components. It makes the Good Water Machine extremely space efficient and simplifies filter changes.

®
refreshing water for drinking and cooking. But Culligan improves a lot more than just water. Crystal clear Culligan
water is ideal for:
®
• coffee • recipes • pasta
• tea • baby formula • ice cubes

PERFORMANCE CHECK
This system contains a replaceable treatment component, critical for the effective reduc­tion of Total Dissolved Solids, and that product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly.
To check the performance of your Aqua-Cleer Good Water Machine, it is necessary to measure the total dissolved solids (TDS) level of the filtered water. This simple test can be done quickly by your dealer.
The Good Water SentryTM Water Quality Monitor is another way to keep track of your system’s performance. This optional accessory checks your drinking water each time you use the special faucet, and signals when the membrane filter may need to be replaced.
If the water quality of your system seems to have declined, drain the storage tank and allow the system to refill. If the problem persists, call your Culligan Man for service.
