Complaint Problem Cause Solution
Water leaking
from relief valve.
A. Dirt lodged
under seat of
valve.
1. Pressure has exceeded
rating on relief valve and
caused valve to open
1. Call your Culligan dealer
for service.
B. Faulty or
defective relief
valve
1. Call your Culligan dealer
for service.
Water is
effervescent
A. This can be
expected when
water is aerated
under pressure.
1. Water supply has been
naturally aerated under
well system pressure. As
water is released to the
atmosphere, air molecules
separate from the water
molecules.
1. This natural phenomenon
will typically dissipate to the
atmosphere in a matter of
seconds. If preferred, water
can be drawn and stored in
an open container prior to use
(i.e. fill a pitcher and store in
the refrigerator for cool, fresh
drinking water).
Loss of pressure A. See complaint #1, problem A & B
Air spurting at
outside or non-
filtered water
fixtures.
A. Inlet check
valve not sealing.
1. Improper installation

system.
1. Repair or replace well
pump system.
2. Water flow is restricted
by supply piping and/or

through filter
during backwash.
1. Excess air accumulated
in aeration tank from
aeration pump.
1. Call your Culligan dealer
for service.
2. Excess air accumulated
