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.

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.

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.
