Recommended Meter Start-Up Procedure
• Close the main water supply valve.
• Set the Cul-Flo-Valv
® to the bypass position.
• Ensure that all faucets at the installation site are closed.
• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.
• Plug the transformer into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single-phase receptacle.
• Wait for the control to energize the motor and home itself.
• Set the timer to the correct time of day.
• Open the main supply valve.
• Initiate an immediate regeneration to move the control into the backwash position.
• Refer to the section on manual cycling for information on cycling the control through its positions.
• When in the backwash position, slowly shift the bypass to the soft water position until water
flows.
• Allow the tank to fill slowly until water flows from the drain line.
• When flow to drain is established, open the bypass fully. Watch the drain line discharge for
signs of resin. If signs of resin particles appear, reduce the flow. Increase the flow again when
resin no longer appears in the discharge.
• When the unit is filled with water, return the timer to the service position and proceed with
setting the microprocessor. Refer to the programming section.
• Sanitize the unit as you leave the installation site (See Sanitizing Procedure on page 33).
Note: Unplugging the Culligan Gold Series water softener will not affect any of the control
settings (The control must be plugged in for at least 10 minutes.). Once programmed in, the
settings will be stored indefinitely. In the event of a power failure the time-of-day setting will
be stored for 12 hours maximum. If longer time storage is necessary, a battery backup is
available.
