Culligan knows the more informed you are about your water treatment systems, the more confident you
will be about its performance. It’s because of this and more than sixty years of commitment to customer
satisfaction that Culligan is providing this Performance Data Sheet to its customers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this unit with
your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that before purchasing a water treatment unit, you
have your water supply tested to determine your actual water treatment needs.

The Culligan Gold Series water softeners are tested and validated by WQA against ANSI/NSF Standard 44
for the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium (hardness).
This softener is efficiency rated, it has a Demand Initiated Regeneration (D.I.R.) feature which complies
with specific performance specifications 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 efficiciency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency
is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. Operational efficiency is typically less
than the efficiency due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other
contaminants that reduce the softener’s capacity.
Refer to the Specifications, Familiarization and Warranty section 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.
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.
† The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 4 lb salt dosage for 9” models.
