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® water. With its special faucet installed on your sink, it’s like getting 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.
AQUA-CLEER GOOD WATER MACHINE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Refer to Figure 1, page 7
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.

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.
