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.

2

Particle Filter (Model H-30PRV-C)

The particle filter screens out dirt, sand, rust, and other microscopic particles

15 times smaller than a grain of sand.

Activated Carbon Filter (Model H-30PRV-C)

The activated carbon filter gets rid of bad tastes and odors, including chlorine.

If present in your untreated water supply.

Particle/Activated Carbon Filter (Model H-30S-R)

The particle/activated carbon filter combines the filtration capabilities of

separate particle and activated carbon filters into one space efficient package.

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter

The reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filter squeezes out dissolved substances,

including lead, asbestos, and many others. These substances may not be in

your water. See Performance Data Sheet for list of substances and removal

percentages.

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.

Polishing Filter

The Good Water Machine™ includes a second activated carbon filter as added

assurance that your water will be crystal clear.

GOOD WATER MACHINE SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Refer to Figure 1, page 6

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.

The substances removed by this system are not necessarily in your untreated

water. See Performance Data Sheet for exact percentages of contaminant

removal.

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.

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 • pasta

• tea • baby formula • ice cubes

• soup • houseplants • steam irons

• juice • pets • drink mixes

• everything you make with water

PERFORMANCE CHECK

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.

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

Man for service.

skills are required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recom-

mend that you contact your local independently operated Culligan dealer to

complete this installation.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

The Good Water Machine™ is designed for use on potable water supplies

meeting the guidelines outlined in Table 1. The system should be installed on

your home’s cold water line. The flushing stream should discharge through

an approved siphon break as illustrated in Figure 1. Installation of this system

must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
