To keep the Aqua-Cleer® system operating properly, it is necessary to change the filters
and sanitize the system periodically. Typically, this should be done on an annual basis.
Service frequency may vary depending on local water conditions. High sediment, chlorine,
turbidity, or hardness levels may require more frequent service. Use the following as
a guide.
As needed:
Clean the faucet with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners
It is recommended that you do the following annually:
1. Sanitize the System
2. Replace:
• Sediment Filter
• Activated Carbon Filter
• Polishing Filter
• Any Advanced Filtration Cartridge
3. Check:
• RO Membrane
• Flow control assembly
• TDS Reduction Performance
• Flow Rates (including air gap)
• Drain tubing for back-up
NOTE:
The activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and polishing filter cartridges must be conditioned
as follows prior to installation into the Aqua-Cleer system. Your Culligan man will do these
important procedures at the time of purchase.
• Activated Carbon Cartridge - 10 minute flush to remove carbon dust
• RO Membrane - Minimum 24 hour flush to remove preservative solution
• Polishing Filter - 10 minute flush to remove carbon dust
Perform the following steps in the order shown to sanitize
your system
It is recommended to have your local Culligan dealer perform the sanitization process.
Your local Culligan man has been specifically trained to test the water quality and
efficiency of the system in order to determine when the RO membrane should be replaced
and ensure the system is working properly.
