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.

CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE
The Culligan®Good Water Machine Model H-30S-R and
H-30PRV-C Drinking Water Systems have been tested and
certified to ANSI/NSF International Standard 58 for effective
reduction of TDS, Asbestos, Barium, Cadmium, Hexavalent and
Trivalent Chromium, Copper, Cysts, Fluoride, Lead, Mercury,
Radium 226/228, and Selenium.
Average removal percentages are as follows:
Asbestos 99.6% Fluoride 96.4%
Barium 90.1% Lead 98.6%
Cadmium 98.9% Mercury 83.1%
Chromium III 97.9% Radium 226/228* 80.0%
Chromium VI 82.6% Selenium 94.5%
Copper 98.9% TDS/SodiumChloride 91.3%
Cysts (including 99.99%
Cryptosporidium, Giardia
Lamblia and Entamoeba Histolytica)
*Minimum removal based on approved testing methods with Barium as
surrogate.
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.

INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Guide provides visual assembly reference only. Since specialized
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.

SERVICING YOUR SYSTEM
FILTER REPLACEMENT
Culligan recommends that you have your Good Water Machine serviced by
your local Culligan Man. You can rely on his or her experience and expertise
to keep your system in top operating condition.
If you wish to service your system, the filters are available from your Culligan
dealer. See the Parts List at the end of this section for replacement numbers.
Cartridge Conditioning
The activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and polishing filter cartridges must be
conditioned as follows prior to installation into the Good Water Machine.
Your Culligan Man can do these important procedures at the time of
purchase.
Activated Carbon Cartridge - 5 gallon flush to remove carbon dust
RO Membrane Filter - 6 hour flush to remove preservative solution
Polishing Filter - 2 gallon flush to remove carbon dust
