Drain Line Connection

Refer to Table 3 for drain line length and height limitations.
• Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control.
• Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain.
• Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp.
• Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration. When discharging into a

sink, or open floor drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will

reduce splashing at the beginning of each regeneration.

For installations in Massachusetts, Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall

be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. This

system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations. The use of

saddle valves is not permitted.

Fill the Salt Storage Container

Fill the salt storage container with water until the level reaches about 1 inch above the

salt support plate. Pour salt into the container. Fill with salt to within a few inches of

the top.

Brine Valve “A” Dimension

The Culligan Gold Series

™

unit contains a brine float which can serve as a backup refill

shutoff in the event of a failure, such as a power outage when in the refill position. The

float level should be set based on the salt dosage setting. Refer to Figure 9.
• Lift the brine valve from the brine chamber.
• Find the correct “A” dimension.
• Set the distance from the top of the filter screen to the base of the float accordingly.

The slight difference in height when the float is pulled up or down is negligible.

Note: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for

connection to the sanitary waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch,

whichever is larger.
Note: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap

at the discharge point. The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and

regulations.
