Automatic refill control is backed up by shutoff float valve to minimize chance of overflow. The Culligan Hi-Flo® 3 Automatic Water Softener Applications and Benefits • RO/DI Pretreatment • Apartment buildings, assisted living facilities and hotels—Quality water for laundry, dishwashers, boilers. • Office buildings—For heating plant pretreatment, tenant convenience, general housekeeping. Options • Restaurants—For dishwashing, cleaning material savings, scale reduction. • Car washes—Quality results, detergent and water heating savings, scale reduction. • Light industry—For process and make-up water, boiler and cooling system pretreatment, general housekeeping. Warranty • 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. 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.

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.
