Introduction
Culligan® High Efficiency Sulfur-Cleer™ is designed to meet the needs of applications for high quality
water. This manual contains important information about the unit, including information needed for
installation, operating, and maintenance procedures. A troubleshooting section provides a guide for
quick and accurate problem solving.
In order for the water treatment system to continue to provide high quality water, you must develop
a thorough understanding of the system and its operation. Review this manual before making any
attempt to install, operate, or service the system. Installation or maintenance done on this system
by an untrained service person can cause major damage to equipment or property damage.
CAUTION! The Sulfur-Cleer system must be supplied with cold water only.
Step 1
Aeration Operation Service Cycle
In the service cycle, raw water enters the inlet port of the medium tank and is directed through the inlet
strainer. The oxidation process begins when the water passes through the inlet strainer and cascades
through a head of air. This air/ water contact oxidizes the iron and/or hydrogen sulfide in the water. The water
is then filtered through the media. It then passes through the outlet of the aeration tank to the inlet of the filter.
Filter Tank Operation Service Cycle
Upon system demand for filtered water, the water is directed downward through the media toward the lower
manifold. Oxidized iron particles are trapped by the filter bed as the water passes through. Filtered water
enters the lower manifold and travels up the manifold to the outlet port on the filter valve.

Step 2
Aeration Operation Air Recharge Cycle
When energized, the air pump sends air through the solenoid valve into one end of the shuttle valve.
Once air pressure in the shuttle valve is greater than the water supply pressure at the other end of the
shuttle valve, the piston shifts to the open position. In the open position, the bleed-off port discharges
excess water and old air to the drain port through a flow restrictor. Simultaneously, the air inlet port
opens to provide a direct connection between the air pump and the top of the aeration tank. The air
pump runs for a preset period of time recharging the head of air in the aeration tank.
Air Recharge Shut Off
The timer turns power off to the air pump and the solenoid valve at the end of the recharge cycle. The
solenoid valve then closes the port between the air pump and the shuttle valve. The port between the
shuttle valve and the atmosphere opens and releases air pressure. This allows water pressure to shift
the piston to the closed position. With the piston in the closed position, the air recharge inlet port is
closed and direct communication between the bleed off tube and the drain port is also closed.
Timer Operation
A timer controls the air recharge cycle and how frequently it occurs. The timer simultaneously
energizes the air pump and the solenoid valve. After a preset amount of time, the timer shuts off
the air pump and de-energizes the solenoid valve.
Solenoid Valve Operation
The solenoid valve is a three-way valve having ports that connect to the air pump, shuttle valve and
the atmosphere. In the service cycle, the solenoid valve is de-energized and closes the port to the
air pump, providing a positive shutoff to the pump. This prevents water from backing up into the air
pump and damaging the pump. In the air recharge cycle, the solenoid valve closes the port to the
atmosphere and opens the port from the air pump.
Shuttle Valve Operation
In the service position, water pressure holds the shuttle valve piston in the closed position,
trapping the airhead in the aeration tank and closes the air recharge inlet port and drain port.
During air recharge cycle, air pressure is greater than the water pressure and forces the shuttle
valve piston in the open piston. The shuttle valve has an internal pressure relief valve that will
relieve pressure (greater than 100 psi) that may build up in the aeration tank. This precautionary
function protects components from failure due to excessive pressure.
Step 3
Filter Tank Operation—Backwash Cycle
Reversing the flow of water through the filter bed and backwashing dirty water to the drain cleans
the filter bed. Raw water enters the filter control valve through the inlet port and is directed down
the distributor tube and out the lower distributor at the bottom of the tank, flowing upward through
the multimedia filter bed toward the top of the tank into the control valve. Water is then directed
through a specific flow restrictor and out the drain port to be discharged to drain.
Step 4
Filter Tank Operation—Rinse Cycle
The rinse cycle packs the clean filter bed. Raw water enters the control valve through the inlet
port and is directed downward through the filter bed into the bottom distributor, up the distributor
tube into the control valve. Water is then directed through a specific flow restrictor and out the
drain port to be discharged to drain.

Operating Conditions
The concentration limits listed below reflect the minimum or maximum individual limit that each
contaminant was tested for separately without any interference of other contaminants in the influent water.
In reality, however, we know that these contaminants may be present in combination which
may limit the filter’s ability to remove these contaminants in higher concentrations. In some
cases, individual sellers of this equipment have had success removing higher concentrations of
contaminants—iron, for example—above the limitations we have listed. If you are considering
the installation of this system for the reduction/removal of iron and/or hydrogen sulfide beyond
the printed operating conditions below, we recommend that you consult Culligan for proper
application. Installation of this system under these circumstances may void part(s) and/or all of
the system warranty.
Compressor
The compressor does not operate during the recharge cycle.
General Instructions
The success of the installation will depend, to a great extent, on advanced planning and
preparation. Careful attention to the location of the unit, accessibility to electrical and drain facilities,
and the availability of the proper tools will ensure a professional-looking installation. Of utmost
importance is the assurance that the filter has been properly applied and meets all specifications.
Observe all state and plumbing codes, electrical codes and drain restrictions.
The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Most codes require an anti-syphon device or air-gap.
NOTE: For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts
Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult with your
licensed
plumber for installation of this system.
pH—The pH level of the influent water must be 7.0–8.5.
Iron—This system is rated for a maximum of 10 ppm of ferrous (clear water) iron. Consult the factory if
iron bacteria is present.
Organic Matter (Tannins)—The presence of organic matter such as tannins will interfere with the
oxidation process of converting the dissolved element, such as iron or manganese, to a non-soluble
precipitate or solid substance, allowing it to be filtered out. The Sulfur-Cleer™ is not designed to remove
organic bound iron.
Alkalinity—A minimum alkalinity of 100 ppm is required for efficient removal of iron and hydrogen sulfide.
Hydrogen Sulfide—Often referred to as the rotten egg smell, hydrogen sulfide will be reduced
significantly on water supplies less than 8 ppm as tested by Culligan. Consult the factory if hydrogen
sulfide concentrations are greater than 8 ppm.
NOTE: Waste connection on drain outlets shall be designed and constructed
to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air
gap of two pipe diameters or 25.4 mm (1 in.), whichever is larger.

Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service
and keep your Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years.
1. Do not place heavy objects on top of the conditioner cover.
2. Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the conditioner.
Never use harsh, abrasive cleaning compounds or those which contain acid, such as
vinegar, bleach and similar products.
3. Important: Protect your water conditioner and the entire drainline from freezing
temperatures. DANGER! If your unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble
it. Call your Culligan Dealer.
4. Important: Culligan water filters are sold for use on potable water, only. If at any time the
water becomes contaminated, such as during a “boil water” situation, the operation of the
water filter should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable. To do
this, screw the blue knob on the back of the water filter against the barrel of the bypass
valve. Then, call your Culligan dealer to have your system sanitized before it is placed
back into service.
NOTE: Following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding operation,
maintenance and replacement requirements, including replacement of
filters if applicable, is essential for Culligan’s products to perform as
advertised.
5. Reset the time, if required, after any interruption of electrical power to keep the unit on its
normal schedule.
6. Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not
covered in the Use and Care Guide, call your Culligan Dealer.
If you have further questions, please call your local independently operated Culligan dealer.
He or she will be glad to be of assistance to you.

When and How
to Bypass Your
Water Filter
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water filter. There are times when the water filter
should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, or a three-way bypass valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water filter, and you do not want to waste
filtered water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and do not want the unit to recharge.
Bypass Valve
In the back of Culligan water filter is a Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass valve. To bypass the unit,
turn the blue knob clockwise. To return to soft water service, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise.
Figure 2. Bypass valve.

Things to Check
Before You Call
for Service
If you unexpectedly experience changes in your water, make these simple checks before calling your
Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.
Important
If any of the following conditions is found, the water filter should be manually reconditioned according to
instructions on page 18 after you have corrected the problem.
Power Supply
Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet
is not controlled by a wall switch which has been turned off. Plug in the transformer then reset
conditioner to proper time of day.
Blown Fuse
Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel. Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit breaker.
Power Failure
Any interruption in your power supply or time change—such as daylight savings—will disrupt your filter’s
reconditioning schedule by causing the timer to run off schedule. Reset the timer to the proper time of day.
Bypass Valves
Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv®Bypass, if used, should be in the
“Service” position (see page 19). If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are
opened and that the bypass valve is closed.
No Water
If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead of
the filter (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check the bypass
valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the bypass and call your Culligan dealer for service.
Increased Usage
Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., all will result in more water usage and will
require more capacity from your filter. You can reprogram your recondtioning schedule by following
the directions on page 17. Call your Culligan dealer for advice and save a service call.
