Installation
This Owner’s Guide provides visual assembly reference only. Since specialized skills
are required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recommend that you
contact your local independently operated Culligan dealer to complete this installa-
tion.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
The Good Water Machine is designed for use on potable water supplies meeting the
guidelines outlined in Table 1. The system should be installed on your home’s cold
water line. The flushing stream should discharge through an approved siphon break
as illustrated in Figure 1. Installation of this system must comply with state and local
laws and regulations.

1 Nitrate units are not certified for nitrate reduction in water supplies with a pressure less than 40 psi (280 kPa).
A booster pump is strongly recommended.
2 See the Technical Manual for all applications where TDS exceeds 1000 ppm (1000 mg/L). A booster pump is
strongly recommended.
3 The reverse osmosis membrane filter used in this system may be damaged by chlorine. This system includes
activated carbon which protects this element by reducing chlorine. Influent chlorine should not exceed 3 mg/L.
4 A softener is strongly recommended for water over 10 gpg.
