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, includ-

ing 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.

4

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.

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 ser-

vice.

Servicing Your System (cont’d)

Filter Replacement and Sanitizing Procedure

Use the following procedure and the reference in Fig. 3 when servicing the Good Water

Machine.

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 recom-

mended.

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

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 1-

gallon 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. Tur n 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

12

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.
