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 Medallist Series Water Softeners are tested and validated by WQA and certified by UL against ANSI/NSF
Standard 44 for the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium (hardness) along with Barium and Radium 226/228*.
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 opera-
tion. 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 equivalency), 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
efficiency 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.
*Verified utilizing hardness surrogate per ANSI/NSF Standard 44. **The efficiency rated dosage is only valid at the 7.0 lb. salt dosage.
