Component Description Control Valve Assembly The reliable Power Valve directs the flow of water during recharge. Constructed of durable, non-corroding materials, the pistonoperated design assures positive, accurate positioning even on turbid problem water supplies. Time and frequency of recharge are controlled by an adjustable, yet simple, circuit board. The circuit board can be adjusted to suit a wide range of water types and family sizes. Media Tank The media tank contains the outlet manifold.
Preparation The success of the installation will depend to a great extent on advance planning and preparation. Careful attention to the unit’s location, accessibility to electrical and drain facilities, and the availability of the proper tools will ensure a professional looking installation. Of utmost importance is the assurance that the filter has been properly applied and meets all specifications.
Pressure The filter is designed to operate within a pressure range of 20 to 125 psi. Pressures below 20 psi may cause the unit to perform and recharge inefficiently, while pressures above 125 psi can cause damage and noisy operation of the control valve. Low pressure is generally not a problem with municipal water supplies, although some adjustments of the well pump system may be required on private supplies. Although uncommon, some municipal supplies may exceed the high pressure limit.
Location Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines. Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities. Drain facilities - Choose a nearby drain that can handle the rated drain flow (floor drain, sink or stand pipe). Refer to the Drain Line Chart, Table 1 (page 12), for maximum drain line length. Note: Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap. Observe all local plumbing codes and drain restrictions.
Bypass Although the filter’s control valve has a feature which makes unfiltered water available during backwash, a separate manual bypass is recommended to permit unfiltered water to be used in those lines which cannot be bypassed when the filter is plumbed in, or to permit use of water in the event the unit must be removed from service for any reason. The 3/4” Medallist Control includes a Cul-Flo-Valv® bypass with 3/4” NPT connections, PN 01-0102-38, (Figure 5). Other available sizes: Part No.
Filling Procedure Filtr-Cleer® Water Filter The 8” Filtr-Cleer filters are shipped with one media pack and the 10” FiltrCleer filters are shipped with two media packs. Verify that the proper number of media packs are on site before loading the tank. Place the manifold inside the tank. Position the tip of the manifold in the recess located in the bottom of the tank. • Cover the top of the manifold with a clean rag. • Place a wide-mouth funnel in the tank opening.
Installation Placement Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities. Place the outlet (black coupling) of the tank on the left. Refer to figure 2. Install Decals Locate the data plate decals and model decals packed with the control valve. Adhere them to the cover and backplate as shown in figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 Mount the Control Valve - 3/4” Controls Assemble the control valve to the media tank as follows, See figure 6 1.
Mount the Control Valve - 1” Controls Assemble the control valve to the media tank as follows, See Figure 8 1. Assemble the o-rings, located in the parts pack, to the tank adapter. 2. The valve adapter o-ring sits on the first step on the adapter. See Figure 9. Note: Do not push the top o-ring down to the flange surface on the adapter. NOTE: The larger of the two o-rings in the parts part goes between the adapter and the valve, do not stretch the smaller o-ring onto the top of the tank adapter. 3.
For backwash flow control conversion, refer to Figure 10 and instructions listed below. • Remove the u-clip of the drain elbow assembly and pull the drain elbow straight off. • Remove the back wash flow control located behind the elbow. Put the correct restrictor in its place. • Insert the flow control washer with the molded numbers facing toward the valve body. Refer to Table 1. For the 6.0 gpm flow control, insert the flow control with the molded “5.5” facing away from the valve body.
Plumbing Connections - 1” Controls Shipped with each softener is a Culligan® bypass valve, which is used to connect the softener to the plumbing system. The bypass allows the softener to be isolated from the water service line if service is necessary while still providing water to the home. The bypass valve can be directly plumbed into the system, or can be connected with the following optional sweat connection kits: Part No.
Drain Line Connection Refer to Figure 12 and Table 2, under the applicable tank size for drain line length and height limitations. • Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from end of drain elbow. • 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 the drain to prevent its movement during regeneration.
Settings Your Culligan Medallist Water Filter is designed to perform efficiently on a wide range of water supplies. Before the unit can be recharged and put into service, several settings must be made. Backwash Backwash expands and loosens the media bed, and flushes away accumulated particulate matter. The backwash interval is preset at the factory for 10 minutes, which is adequate for most water supplies.
Programming Make sure the inlet water supply is turned off, then supply power to the timer. The display will power up flashing “12:00 PM” and the motor will energize and cycle the control, without stopping, to the home position. This is required to ensure that the control is in the home position. The timer uses four buttons: 1. STATUS Advance timer through display options. 2. PLUS SIGN “+” 3. MINUS SIGN “-” Decrease the setting. 4. REGEN Initiate a manual regeneration. Increase the setting.

Toggle between “En” (English units) and “MET” (Metric units) with the “+” or “-” key. 5 12 or 24 Hour Clock Press the “STATUS” key. The display will blink “dIP6” for 3 seconds and then show the current status. Toggle between “12 Hr” (12 hour clock) and “24 Hr” (24 hour clock) with the “+” or “-” key.
Step 4 – Programming Fast Rinse Time Press the “STATUS” key after programming the backwash time. The display will blink “Fr” for 3 seconds and then display the Fast Rinse Time in minutes. Adjust the setting with “+” or “-” key. (5-30 minutes) Step 5 – Days to Regeneration 10 Press the “STATUS” key after programming the fast rinse time. The display will blink “CAP” for 3 seconds and then display the number of days between regenerations. Adjust the setting with the “+” or “-” key.
Manual Cycling The Culligan ® microprocessor can be indexed through the various regeneration steps. For all steps, the cycle numbers do not appear, or change, until the motor stops. 1.

REG 2. Press and hold the regen button. The ‘REGEN’ icon will blink, and the motor will advance the control. A ‘1’ will appear.
Service Check The service mode allows one to view the number of regenerations in the past 14 days, the total number of regenerations the control has cycled through and the number of days since the last regeneration. To enter the service check mode, follow these steps: 1. From the Blank display: 2. Press the “-” key. The display will blink “14dY” for 3 seconds and then display the number of regenerations that have occurred in the last 14 days. 3. Press the “-” key.
Start-up Procedure Cullar® and Cullneu® Water Filters • Connect the transformer to a grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz outlet. • Initiate an extra recharge by pressing and holding the “REGEN” button for approximately 3 seconds. • SLOWLY place the bypass valve(s) in the service position. • Place the filter in bypass as soon as water is observed flowing to drain, place the timer in the service position (refer to the SERVICE POSITION paragraphs in the SETTINGS section) and unplug the control.
Operation, Care & Maintenance Cullneu® Water Filter Refill As water passes through the Cullneu Water Filter, the media slowly dissolves and neutralizes the water. The rate at which the Cullneu media dissolves depends on a number of factors such as temperature, flow rate, and pH. Because these factors are so variable, it is difficult to determine how often new Cullneu media should be added. Tables 4 and 5 show the recommended intervals for inspection and replenishment of Cullneu mineral.
Care and Cleaning Protect the operation and appearance of the water filter by following these precautions: • Do not place heavy objects on top of the control valve cover. • Use only mild soap and warm water to clean the exterior of the unit. Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or compounds which contain acid or bleach. • Protect the conditioner and drain line from freezing temperatures.
