Culligan Hi-Flo®3 Water Softener Standard Features

• Positive Motor-Driven Regeneration Valve–Motor driven piston is reliable under severe water conditions, resists dirt, iron, turbidity.

• Automatic Brine Control—Automatically measures the correct amount of brine. A single turn of dial sets correct amount dosage and capacity.

• Dubl-Safe

™

Brine System—Positive overfill protection. Automatic refill control is backed up by shutoff float valve to minimize chance of overflow.

• Corrosion Resistant Tanks–made from fiberglassreinforced polyester. Additional reinforcement from continuous fiberglass overwrap. Underdrain design maximizes softener’s capacity, reduces pressure loss.

• Softening Media—High quality resin provides stability and uniform size for top performance and long life.

• Choice of Cycle Controllers—Regeneration cycle may be initiated by timeclock any or every day of the week. Optional meter starts cycle after preset volume of water has been softened.

Warranty

Culligan® Hi-Flo®3 water softeners are backed by a

limited 1-year warranty against defects in materials, workmanship, and corrosion. The plastic conditioner tank has a 5-year warranty. See printed warranty for details.

Some localities have corrosive water. A softener cannot correct this condition, so its printed warranty disclaims liability for corrosion of plumbing lines, fixtures, or water-using equipment. If you suspect corrosion, your independently operated Culligan dealer has equipment to control the problem.

*Culligan will provide a copy of warranties upon request.

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.

Options

• Regeneration Flexibility—There are several choices for regenerating a Hi-Flo

3 water softener to meet your requirements. The simple, economical choice is timeclock operation for both single and duplex units. If water usage varies, meter operation is available to signal regeneration immediately or delay regeneration until a pre-set time. Duplex meter operated units may be operated in parallel or on an alternating basis, depending upon your needs.

1 Exchange capacities based on treating water containing 10 grains per gallon (171 mg/L) of hardness (expressed as calcium carbonate), free of color, oil, turbidity

and at a service flow rates not exceeding 20 gpm per square foot (49 m3/m2/min) of bed area. These are nominal capacities and will vary with influent water characteristics, temperature, pressure and other factors.

2 Operation of a softener at peak flow rate for extended periods of time may result in a slight reduction of softening capacity. This is due to premature hardness

breakthrough. NOTE: Operational, maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this product to perform as advertised. Specifications are shown for single models. Duplex models have two softener tanks and one brine tank system.
