SOFTENER SPECIFICATIONS
NOTICE: This softener is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization, and Warranty sections of this Owner's Guide for more specific product information. To avoid
contamination from improper handling and installation, your system should only be installed and serviced by your Culligan Man.
Performance will vary based on local water conditions. The substances reduced by this system are not necessarily in your water.
Culligan water softeners are designed to work with any salt of good quality, although it is recommended that you ask your local
Culligan man for his suggestion on the best type and grade of salt to use in this softener.
This Culligan Mark 100 water softener is tested and validated by WQA to ANSI/NSF Standard 44 for the effective reduction of calcium and
magnesium (hardness) along with Barium and Radium 226/228*.
This softener is efficiency rated, it has a Demand Initiated Regeneration (D.I.R.) feature which complies with specific performance specifi-
cations intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in their operation. The softener has a rated salt efficiency of
not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt used (based on NaCl equavalency), and shall not deliver more salt
than its listed rating. The efficiency is measured by a laboratory test described in ANSI/NSF Standard 44. This test represents the maximum
possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed.
Operational efficiency is typically less then the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and
other contaminants that reduce the softener's capacity.
