Contaminant Level
pH Flow Rate Pressure
Barium 2.0 mg/L 7.5 + 0.5 31.2 gpm 35 + 5 (psig)
Radium 226/228 5pCi/L 7.5 + 0.5 31.2 gpm 35 + 5 (psig)
This system is certified for barium and radium 226/228 reduction based on hardness reduction. It is recommended you test your
water every 6 months to ensure the system is performing properly and that hardness, and therefore barium and radium 226/228,
are being reduced. Hardness test strips have been included. Additional strips are available from your local Culligan dealer.
The Culligan Platinum Plus Series 14” Water Softeners with Soft-Minder
® Meter are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/
ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium) and barium/radium 226/228 as verified and
substantiated by test data.
An efficiency rated water softener is a DIR softener which also complies with specific performance specifications intended to
minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. Efficiency rated water softeners shall have a rated salt
efficiency of not less than 3350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on NaCl equivalency) (477 grams
of total hardness exchange per kilogram of salt), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating. The efficiency is measured
by a laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI 44. The test represents the maximum possible efficiency the system can achieve.
Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency achieved after the system has been installed. It 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 12lb. salt dosage and maximum service rate for 14” models, and is efficiency
rated according to NSF/ANSI 44.
