Introduction Thank you for choosing a Culligan Good Water Machine® drinking water system. Your new system is designed to bring you years of healthful, deliciously crystal-clear 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 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 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. GOOD WATER MACHINE SYSTEM COMPONENTS Refer to Figure 1, page 6 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 reduces elements that cause water to taste and smell unpleasant, including the taste and odor of 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, arsenic, 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. Storage Tank The storage tank holds up to 2 gallons of triple-filtered Culligan water under pressure for rapid delivery. Optional three and nine-gallon tanks are available. 3 Introduction (cont’d) Polishing Filter The Good Water Machine includes a second activated carbon filter as added assurance that your water will be crystal clear. Faucet The special drinking water faucet mounts conveniently on your kitchen sink. A simple twist of the handle is all it takes to enjoy refreshing Culligan drinking water. CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE The Culligan Good Water Machine Model AC-30, AC-30M, AC-30L, AC-30 Plus, AC-30M Plus and AC-30L Plus Drinking Water Systems have been tested and certified to ANSI/NSF International Standard 58 for effective reduction of TDS, Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Hexavalent and Trivalent Chromium, Cysts, Fluoride, Lead, Radium 226/228, and Selenium as verified and substantiated by test data. The Model AC-30 Nitrate, AC-30M Nitrate and AC-30L Nitrate have been tested and certified to ANSI/NSFInternational Standard 58 for effective reduction of the above substances and Nitrate/Nitrite. Nitrate models are acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L Nitrate and 3 mg/L Nitrite in combination measured as N and are certified for Nitrate/Nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 40 psig (280 kPa) or greater. This system shall only be used for arsenic reduction on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable residual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water systems using an in-line chlorinator should provide a one minute chlorine contact time before the RO system. Average removal percentages are as Arsenic 98.0% Barium 90.0% Cadmium 96.4% Chromium III 85.7% Chromium VI 86.6% Copper 99.2% Cysts (including 99.99% Cryptosporidium, Giardia Lamblia and Entamoeba Histolytica) follows: Fluoride Lead Nitrate Nitrite Radium 226/228* Selenium TDS/Sodium Chloride 95.2% 98.1% 80.7% 75.8% 80.0% 96.8% 85.5% (2 gallon tank) 90.9% (3 gallon tank) 91.4% (9 gallon tank) *Minimum removal based on approved testing methods with Barium as surrogate. 4 The substances removed by this system are not necessarily in your untreated water. See Performance Data Sheet for exact percentages of contaminant removal. HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM With the Good Water Machine, you’ll get a continuous supply of clear, refreshing water for drinking and cooking. But Culligan improves a lot more than just water. Crystal clear Culligan water is ideal for: • coffee • recipes • tea • baby formula • soup • houseplants • juice • pets • everything you make with water • pasta • ice cubes • steam irons • drink mixes 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 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. The AC-30 Nitrate Models are supplied with a nitrate test kit. Product water must be tested frequently according to the instructions provided with the kit. 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 ManTM for service. 5 Installation This Owner’s Guide provides visual assembly reference only. Since specialized skills are required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recommend that you contact your local independently operated Culligan dealer to complete this installation.

NOTICE: Cleanliness is essential in the filter replacement procedure. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling filters. The use of protective gloves is strongly recommended. Materials: Pre-flushed activated carbon cartridge and polishing filter cartridge Particle filter Household (5.25%) bleach - hydrogen peroxide is not recommended Clean 1-gallon plastic container with cap 100-ml graduated cylinder Plastic pan to hold manifold assembly Tubing connector, 3/8” tube x 3/8” tube Flat-blade and #2 Phillips screwdrivers Paper towels Disposable plastic gloves (like those used in the food service industry) PREPARATION 10 1. Locate the system’s supply valve and turn off the system’s water supply. 2. Using the graduated cylinder, add 5 ml (about 1 teaspoon) of bleach to the 1gallon container. Open the dispenser faucet and fill with one gallon of product water. If there is not enough RO water, fill the container the rest of the way with soft water. Cap the container and shake to mix. NOTICE: If any RO water remains after filling the container, you may want to fill a pitcher with the drinking water as it will take several hours for the system to refill after servicing. In any case, leave the faucet open until the storage tank is empty and then, close the faucet. 3. Remove the polishing filter (Fig. 4) and discard. Connect the tubing ends together with the tubing connector. 4. Lift the filter assembly from the mounting bracket and place it in the plastic pan to catch any dripping water. 5. Using the flat-blade screwdriver, pull the u-clips from all three housings. Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom rear of the manifold and push up to release the filter housings. Remove the housings with a downward twisting pull. 6. Remove the particle filter cartridge and the activated carbon cartridge and discard. If the RO membrane filter will be reused, clean the outside with a wet paper towel and place the membrane filter in a clean, unused plastic bag. 7. Wet some paper towels with the diluted bleach solution. Clean the inside of the housings and the underside of the manifold with the paper towels. SANITIZING THE STORAGE TANK AND FAUCET 1. Add 15 ml (about one tablespoon) of bleach to the particle filter housing (#1, Fig. 3). Replace all three housings on the manifold and insert the u-clips. 2. Turn on the supply valve and fill the storage tank with 1 to 2 gallons of water. NOTICE: The weight of the storage tank will increase by 8 to 16 pounds. Turn off the water supply valve. 3. Wait ten minutes before opening the faucet and draining the storage tank. Do not rinse any remaining solution from the tank. NOTICE: During this time, proceed to the “Sanitizing the Manifold Assembly” section. Wait to do step 4 until indicated. 4. Remove the temporary tubing connector and replace it with a new polishing filter. Make sure the flow arrow on the polishing filter points to the faucet (Fig. 4). SANITIZING THE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY 1. Using the flat-blade screwdriver, pull the u-clips from all three housings. Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom rear of the manifold and push up to release the filter housings. Remove the housings with a downward twisting pull. Discard any solution remaining in the housings. 2. Open the particle filter cartridge bag half way, being careful not to touch the filter element. Lubricate the particle filter cartridge o-rings with water and insert the cartridge into position #1 in the manifold. 3. Fill housing #1 about 2/3 full of the diluted bleach solution from the 1-gallon container. Assemble the housing to the manifold and replace the u-clip. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for housing #2 (activated carbon cartridge) and housing #3 (RO membrane filter). NOTICE: For RO membrane filters that have a single open-end, pour diluted bleach solution into the center tube. CAUTION: The solution should remain in contact with the RO membrane filter for at least five (5) but no longer than ten (10) minutes. Longer contact time will shorten the life of the membrane. NOTICE: While waiting for the filters to be sanitized, complete step 4 of the “Sanitizing the Storage Tank and Faucet” section. Then complete step 5 below. 5. Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the capillary assembly retaining screws, then twist and remove the assembly. Inspect the tubing for plugging and kinks and replace the tubing as needed. Reinstall the capillary assembly, but leave the screws ¼-turn loose. 11 Servicing Your System (cont’d) 6. In this step, you will need to observe water flowing to the drain. If the drain flow is not visible with the current tubing connections, install a temporary drain tube in the waste port of the manifold. Turn on the supply valve. When water is seen flowing to the drain, carefully loosen the capillary tube assembly retaining screws until the flow to the drain increases. NOTICE: When the assembly is about 3/16” out of the manifold, the o-ring seal for the capillary tube is bypassed, but there should be no external leaks. 7. Rinse the manifold assembly for five minutes or until no chlorine is detected in the water passing to the drain. Tighten the capillary assembly retaining screws. 8. Check the performance of the system according to the procedure outlined in the “Performance and Technical Information” section of this manual. Replace the RO membrane if necessary. 9. Instruct the customer to discard the first glassful of water from the system to flush out any residual chlorine that might remain in the polishing filter tubing and faucet. The polishing filter will remove any chlorine remaining in the storage tank. 10.Record your service on the chart at the end of the Owner’s Guide. 12 Parts List Item 1 2 Description Mounting Bracket Faucet - Chrome - White 3 Polishing Filter 4 Plastic Ball Valve 5 Storage Tank - Std. - Medium - Large 6 Screw, #10.9 x .625" Pan Head Phil. 7 Particle Filter Element 8 Capillary Assembly 9 Reverse Osmosis Membrane Element AC-30 10 Drain Adapter 11 Activated Carbon Element * Icemaker Tee - 3/8 x 3/8 x 1/4 * Tubing, Blue - 1/4" O.D. - 3/8" O.D. * Good Water Sentry Monitor * Aqua-Cleer Booster Pump * Not Illustrated Part Number 01-0040-81 01-0043-47 01-0047-66 01-0042-91 01-0045-50 01-0050-95 01-0047-76 01-0047-65 00-4010-16 00-4015-38 01-0090-25 01-0074-02 01-0040-80 01-0125-80 01-0047-28 00-4021-84 01-0002-87 01-0047-12 01-0093-34 13 Culligan Good Water Machine Service Log MODEL __________________ SERIAL NO. _______________________________ DATE INSTALLED ____________________________________________________ FOR SERVICE CALL CULLIGAN AT: (____) _______________________________ DATE SERVICED 14 PARTICULATE FILTER FILTER(S) CHANGED ACTIVATED RO CARBON MEMBRANE FILTER FILTER POLISHING FILTER SANITIZED Performance Data Sheet IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of the unit with your actual water treatment needs.
