Culligan Gold Series - Manual (Page 13)

With the exception of media containers, open the remaining containers, remove all the components,
and inspect them before starting installation.
Placement
Refer to figure 1 for system placement.
• Set the media tank on a solid, level surface
near water, drain and electrical facilities.
• Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid
surface as near the media tank as possible.
Tank Assembly
Before the unit can be connected to the plumbing the manifold distributors must be assembled and
the underbedding and resin must be loaded into the tank for 12” and 14” tanks.
Position the Mineral Tank(s)
Determine the location for the mineral tanks(s) prior to loading, since they will be difficult to move
after the underbedding and gravel are loaded.
Loading the Tank (12” and 14” Tanks)
1. Position the tank so that the Culligan ® logo is in the front.
2. Remove the inlet strainer.
3. Install the outlet manifold into the tank (Figure 2).
4. Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag.
5. Using a large-mouth funnel, load the Culligan underbedding through
the top of the tank.

to ensure a good seal at the gasket. Rap the tank near the
bottom with a rubber mallet to level the sand.
