Cleaning Out the Salt Storage Tank
A periodic clean-out of the Salt Storage Tank is necessary to keep your Culligan Water Softener at peak operating efficiency�
Do it at least every 2 years when the salt supply is low�
Follow these step-by-step procedures:
Tools needed:
• Scoop
• Clean, bucket-size container
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Garden hose, Household scrub brush or sponge
1� Remove the salt storage tank cover and the cap from the brine valve chamber�
2� Disconnect the brine line from the brine valve by holding in the outer ring of the push fitting, then pushing
the tubing in slightly before pulling it out�
3� Remove the nut securing the brine valve to the brine chamber, then lift the brine valve out of the brine valve
chamber and set aside in an upright position�
4� If you’d like to save any clean, dry salt remaining in the tank, remove it and place it in a clean container�
5� Using the scoop, dig out and discard as much remaining salt, water and debris as possible�
6� Remove the brine valve chamber by removing the chamber retaining screw and nut�
7� Remove the salt plate at the bottom of the tank�
8� Lay the salt tank on its side and direct a brisk stream of water from your garden hose to its inside to rinse
out all residue�
9� Using a household scrub brush and a mild soapy solution, clean the salt plate�
This will complete the tank cleaning�
10� Re-insert the brine valve into the chamber, re-insert the brine line fully, and replace brine valve chamber cap�
11� Stand salt tank upright� Make sure to place the tank on a flat, smooth, solid surface�
12� Replace the salt plate� Place brine valve chamber in position and affix with screw and nut�
13� Insert the brine valve into the chamber and replace brine valve chamber cap�
14� Fill the salt storage tank with 4 to 6 inches of water�
15� Fill the tank with salt to within a few inches of the top�
16� Replace salt storage tank cover�
Troubleshooting
The Culligan Select Plus & Select Series Softener is equipped with an advanced error detection system� During all
operating modes the softener’s electronics are performing self-diagnostics to ensure that the unit is operating correctly�
There may be times, however, when something may occur that could cause the unit to improperly operate� In those
instances the microprocessor will identify the exact problem and alert the user with a telephone handset symbol in the
upper left corner of the display and the error code will be shown�
