[. . . ] B 04/06/05 DCO # 7499 Owners Guide & Installation Instruction Supplement Soft-Minder Twin ® Models From 2005 © 2005 Culligan International Company Printed USA Thank You And welcome to your new world of better living with Culligan water. The Culligan Soft-Minder TwinTM Water Softeners are tested and certified by WQA according to WQA S100 for calcium and magnesium reduction (hardness). For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. This system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. If this is your first experience having soft, conditioned water in your home, you'll be amazed at the marvelous difference it makes. [. . . ] Allow the unit to complete the brine draw cycle and observe how the system reacts. Although it may be possible to solve a specific problem simply by changing a component, analyzing the entire system can reveal additional problems which would otherwise require extra service calls. By collecting data prior to a service call, a "first guess" about the cause of the problem can be made and the need for any special parts can be determined. If the problem is as simple as lack of salt in the brine tank, a service call may not be needed at all. At the end of Appendix A is a recommended system data sheet that will assist the troubleshoot process. 16 Culligan Soft-Minder® Twin Installation Before Leaving the Installation Site Sanitizing the softener. Add water to the tank with a hose or put the unit into a full recharge so that the brine refill cycle will fill the tank with the proper amount of water. Advise the customer that the existing water volume in the tank will need to be used before the hot water is soft. If soft hot water is required immediately, refer to the water heater owner's manual for the proper method of draining the water heater. Make sure the customer knows that there will be new sounds associated with the recharging of the unit. Advise the customer to periodically check and replenish the salt supply. Clean up the unit and installation site, removing any soldering, or pipe threading, residues from the equipment and surrounding area with a damp towel. Installation 17 Salt Supply, Usage & Service Salt is the mineral used to "recharge" your water conditioner. A brine solution is automatically made up in the bottom of the salt storage container, the Cullex® resin beads in the mineral tank are flushed with the brine solution as a step in the recharging process. Your Culligan Water Conditioner has been carefully designed to get the greatest amount of softening capacity from the salt it uses. Here is some pertinent information about salt usage, types and service. Salt Economizer This control is set at the time of installation, and determines salt usage according to the water hardness, number of persons in the household, and water usage. What Kind of Salt is Best All Culligan Water Conditioners are designed to use any water conditioner salt of good quality, including "rock", "pellet", "solar", or "evaporated" types. All rock salt, regardless of source, contains insoluble material which collects at the bottom of the salt storage tank and requires periodic clean-out. If purified salt products are used, the salt storage compartment will require less frequent clean-out, but you must check more frequently for "bridging". Regardless of what type of salt is used, we recommend Culligan Brand Salt as suggested by your Culligan Dealer. He or she is the expert and can provide you with the best product for your Culligan Water Conditioner.
