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 seventy 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.

Name of Substance USEPA Maximum
Contaminant Level
pH Flow Rate Pressure
Barium 2.0 mg/L 7.5 + 0.5 10.6 gpm 15 (psig)
Radium 226/228 5 pCi/L 7.5 + 0.5 10.6 gpm 15 (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 Gold Series 14” Water Softeners are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 44
for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium) and barium/radium as verified and substantiated
by test data.
The Culligan Gold Series 14” Water Softeners are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 61
for material requirements.
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 for 14” models.
