16 CULLIGAN
®
MARK 89 AND 812 WATER CONDITIONER
WARNING: FOR PROTECTION, A SANITIZING AGENT HAS BEEN ADDED
TO THE SOFTENER TANK AT THE FACTORY. THIS SANITIZING AGENT
MUST BE FLUSHED OUT BEFORE THE UNIT IS PLACED INTO SERVICE
BY RUNNING AT LEAST 50 GALLONS OF WATER THROUGH THE UNIT
DRAIN.
• Close the main supply valve.
• Set the bypass valve(s) to bypass.
• All faucets in the installation site should be closed.
• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.
• Plug the unit into a 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, single phase grounded, 3-wire receptacle (or 2-wire receptacle with
grounded 3-prong adapter).
• Set the timer to the correct time of day.
• Open the main supply valve.
• On the timer, push the Manual Recharge lever to the left until it stops.
• Slowly shift the Cul-Flo-Valv
®
bypass toward the "Soft Water" position until water flows. On three-valve
bypass installations, close the bypass valve and open the outlet and inlet valves.
• Allow the unit to fill slowly until water flows from the drain line.
• When flow to drain is established, open the bypass fully. Watch the drain line discharge for signs of resin. If
resin particles appear, reduce the flow. Increase the flow again when resin no longer appears in the discharge.
• When the unit is filled with water, return the timer to the service position.
WARNING: ALTHOUGH NOT NORMALLY NECESSARY, SHOULD YOU NEED
TO DISASSEMBLE ANY PART OF THE CONTROL VALVE OR REMOVE THE
CONTROL FROM THE TANK ASSEMBLY OR ASSOCIATED PLUMBING,
DEPRESSURIZE THE UNIT FIRST CLOSING THE MAIN SUPPLY VALVE,
THEN OPEN A CONVENIENT FAUCET DOWN STREAM FROM THE WATER
CONDITIONER.
During the recharge cycle, hard water will be available to all the lines in the household. Immediately following
recharge, the water to service will be soft.
Because of the volume of water contained in the water heater, the hot water may not be soft for several days. Soft
hot water can be made available almost immediately, however, if the water heater is drained immediately after
recharge and allowed to refill with soft water.
BEFORE LEAVING THE INSTALLATION SITE
Make sure the brine tank is filled with water to the level of the float. Fill the tank with a hose or put the unit into
a full recharge so that the brine refill cycle will fill the tank.
Explain the operation of the softener to the customer. Give the customer a copy of the Owner's Guide and
warranty policy. Make sure the customer knows that there will be new sounds associated with the recharging of
the unit. Advise the customer to periodically check and replenish the salt supply.
Clean up the unit and the installation site, removing any soldering or pipe threading residues from the equipment
with a damp towel.
