14 Culligan® High Efficiency 1.5 Water Softener
14 Cat. No. 01023552
Dial-a-Softness
Dial-a-Softness is a manual adjustment built into the con-
trol valve that allows for variable hardness bypass into the
softened water. The hard water bypass can be adjusted to
produce 1–3 gpg hardness bleed. Shipped from the factory
the Dial-a-Softness knob is set to the “SOFTEST” position (no
hard water bypass). See Figure 16.
To set the Dial-a-Softness:
1. Locate the Dial-a-Softness knob on the control
valve.
2. Set the Dial-a-Softness knob to position A, B, or C
as outlined in the table below, based on raw water
hardness; this should produce a 1–3 gpg hardness
bleed.
Letter on Dial-a-Softness Knob 1–3 gpg Hardness Bleed
SOFTEST No Bleed
A On between 20–30 gpg feed
B On between 10–20 gpg feed
C On less than 10 gpg feed
NOTE Dial-a-Softness is not designed to be used with HE Progressive Flow Softeners.
Straight-Through Adapter
Shipped with each softener is a Culligan® straight-through adapter, which is used to connect the softener to the plumbing
system.
CAUTION! Close the inlet supply line and relieve the system pressure before cutting into
the plumbing! Flooding could result if not done!
Straight-Through Adapter Installation
Refer to Figure 17 and the instructions below to connect
the meter, straight-through adapter, and interconnecting
pipe.
1. All HE units are equipped with a meter. The
meter is installed on the outlet side of the control
valve. The meter body fits in the same space as
the coupling between the control valve and the
straight through adapter. Make sure the arrow on
the flow meter is pointing in the direction of the
flow.
2. The straight-through adapter connects directly
to the control valve with the meter and coupling
and two assembly pins. Lubricate all O-rings on
the couplings/meter with silicone lubricant. See
Figure 17.
NOTE The Low Flow Meter has a white dot on the
connection for the wire harness.
