Filtr-Cleer®
The High Efficiency Filtr-Cleer Automatic Water Filter is capable of reducing particulate matter down to 30 microns particle size. It will not remove color, organics, colloidal turbidity or dissolved solids. Some applications follow:
· Reduction of suspended matters in any water system.
· Reduction of particulate matter, such as clay, mud, etc.
· Prefiltration of oxidized iron ahead of an automatic or manual softener.
· Reduction of light sand.
NOTE 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 colloidal suspension problems.
The quality and number of gallons 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
The High Efficiency Water Filter with Cullar Media will reduce chlorine taste and odor and other common bad tastes and odors. 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
The High Efficiency Water Filter with Cullneu Media will neutralize slightly acid water (pH (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 between 5 and 6, one 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.
In order to size and apply the equipment correctly, a complete analysis of the water supply should be obtained. This can best be accomplished by contacting your local Culligan dealer, who will be able to test the water supply right at the site, or arrange to have one or more water samples sent to the Culligan laboratory for a more detailed analysis.

If you unexpectedly experience changes in your water, make these simple checks before calling your Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.
Important If any of the following conditions is found, the water filter should be manually recharged according to instructions on page 10 after you have corrected the problem.
Power Supply Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch which has been turned off. Plug in the transformer then reset conditioner to proper time of day.
Blown Fuse Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel. Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit breaker.
Power Failure Any interruption in your power supply or time change–such as daylight savings–will disrupt your filter’s recharge schedule by causing the timer to run off-schedule. Reset conditioner to proper time of day.
Bypass Valves Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, if used, should be in the “Service” position (see page 13). If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are opened and that the bypass valve is closed.
No Water If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead of the conditioner (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check the bypass valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the bypass and call your Culligan dealer for service.
Increased Usage Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., will result in more water usage and may require additional programming by your local Culligan dealer. Please contact your local Culligan dealer.

Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water filter. There are times when the water filter should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo- Valv® Bypass, or a three-way bypass valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water filter, and you do not want to waste filtered water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and do not want the unit to recharge.
Bypass Valve In the back of Culligan water filter is a Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass valve. To bypass the unit, turn the blue knob clockwise. To return to filtered water service, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise.

When and How to
Bypass Your Water Filter
