Introduction Operation
Step 1.
Aeration Operation Service Cycle
In the service cycle, raw water enters the inlet port of the aeration tank and is directed through the
inlet diffuser. The oxidation process begins when the water passes through the inlet diffuser and
cascades through a head of air. This air/ water contact oxidizes the iron, manganese, hydrogen
sulfide in the water. The water is directed toward the bottom of the tank and travels through the pick-
up tube. It then passes through the outlet of the aeration tank to the inlet of the filter tank.
Step 2.
Aeration Operation Air Recharge Cycle
When energized, the air pump sends air through the solenoid valve into one end of the shuttle valve.
Once air pressure in the shuttle valve is greater than the water supply pressure at the other end
of the shuttle valve, the piston shifts to the open position. In the open position, the bleed-off port
discharges excess water and old air to the drain port through a flow restrictor. Simultaneously, the air
inlet port opens to provide a direct connection between the air pump and the top of the aeration tank.
The air pump runs for a preset period of time recharging the head of air in the aeration tank.
Timer Operation
A timer controls the air recharge cycle and how frequently it occurs. The timer simultaneously
energizes the air pump and the solenoid valve. After a preset amount of time, the timer shuts off the
air pump and de-energizes the solenoid valve.
Shuttle Valve Operation
In the service position, water pressure holds the shuttle valve piston in the closed position, trapping
the airhead in the aeration tank and closes the air recharge inlet port and drain port. During air
recharge cycle, air pressure is greater than the water pressure and forces the shuttle valve piston
in the open piston. The shuttle valve has an internal pressure relief valve that will relieve pressure
(greater than 100 psi) that may build up in the aeration tank. This precautionary function protects
components from failure due to excessive pressure.
Step 3.
Filter Tank Operation - Backwash Cycle
Reversing the flow of water through the filter bed and backwashing dirty water to the drain cleans
the filter bed. Raw water enters the filter control valve through the inlet port and is directed down the
distributor tube and out the lower distributor at the bottom of the tank, flowing upward through the
multimedia filter bed toward the top of the tank into the control valve. Water is then directed through
a specific flow restrictor and out the drain port to be discharged to drain.
Step 4.
Filter Tank Operation - Rinse Cycle
The rinse cycle packs the clean filter bed. Raw water enters the control valve through the inlet port
and is directed downward through the filter bed into the bottom distributor, up the distributor tube into
the control valve. Water is then directed through a specific flow restrictor and out the drain port to be
discharged to drain.
Operating The concentration limits listed below reflect the maximum individual limit that each contaminant was
tested for separately without any interference of other contaminants in the influent water.
Conditions
In reality, however, we know that these contaminants may be present in combination which may limit
the filter’s ability to remove these contaminants in higher concentrations. In some cases, individual
sellers of this equipment have had success removing higher concentrations of contaminants - iron,
for example - above the limitations we have listed. If you are considering the installation of this
system for the reduction/removal of iron, manganese and/or hydrogen sulfide beyond the printed
operating conditions below, we recommend that you consult the manufacturer for proper application.
Installation of this system under these circumstances may void part(s) and/or all of the system
warranty.
pH — The pH level of the influent water must be 7.0 - 8.5. A pH level of 7.0 - 8.5 is optimal for iron
reduction.
Iron — This system is rated for a maximum of 10 ppm of ferrous (clear water) and/or ferric (red
water) iron. Consult the factory if iron bacteria is present.
Hydrogen Sulfide — Often referred to as rotten egg odor, hydrogen sulfide will be reduced
significantly on water supplies containing less than 5 ppm. Consult the manufacturer if hydrogen
sulfide concentrations is greater than 5 ppm.
Organic Matter (Tannins) — The presence of organic matter such as tannins will prevent the
oxidation process of converting the dissolved element, such as iron or manganese, to a non-soluble
precipitate or solid substance, allowing it to be filtered out. The Iron Cleer™ is not designed to
remove organic bound iron.

Power Loss Familiarization
The AccuSoft® circuit board is equipped with a Hi-Cap Capacitor and EEPROM memory chip. The
capacitor is capable of maintaining the time, for at least two days, in the event of a power outage.
The EEPROM ensures that the individual programming parameters of your filter are not lost.
If the power outage lasts long enough to drain the Hi-Cap Capacitor, the control will flash “12:00 PM”
when power is returned to the control. The unit will continue to keep time from the moment power is
restored, and will initiate a full regeneration at the preset regeneration time. The time of day will need
to be reset in order to return the regeneration to its preset time.
If you live in an area where power outages occur with a regular frequency, a battery backup option
is available for ensuring that the time of day is properly maintained. Contact your Culligan Dealer for
more information.
Regeneration
To initiate a regeneration at the preset time, press the “REGEN” button. The “REG” light will light. To
initiate an immediate regeneration, press and hold the “REGEN” button for at least five seconds. The
“REG” will light and blink. An immediate regeneration will also occur if a power outage has lasted for
more than four hours and the Immediate Regeneration option is chosen. Ask your Culligan Dealer
about this feature.
A regeneration at the Time of Regeneration will occur if so signaled by the Soft-Minder meter. The
“REG” enunciator on the display will also be lit.
Service
Culligan’s Iron-Cleer® water filter is equipped with a self diagnostic program to insure optimal
operation of your water filter. Should service become necessary, a phone icon will appear in the
display. If this condition occurs, call your local Culligan Dealer for assistance. The phone icon and
error code will be the only items displayed when service is required on the control.
Programming Make sure either 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, the home
position. This is required to ensure that the control is in the home position.

Troubleshooting
The Culligan Medallist Series Filter is equipped with an
advanced error detection system. During all operating
modes the filter’s electronics are performing self-diagnostics
to ensure that the unit is operating correctly. There may be times, however, when something may occur
that could cause the unit to improperly operate. In those instances the microprocessor will identify the
exact problem and alert the user with a telephone handset symbol in the upper left corner of the display
and the error code will be shown. Shown below is codes that would appear if an error is detected.
If an error code appears that requires an authorized service technician please contact your local
Culligan Dealer.
For any additional troubleshooting or service needs please contact your local Culligan Dealer.
When and Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water filter. There are times when the
water filter should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, or a 3-way bypass valve. You

Things to If you unexpectedly experience problem water, make these simple checks before calling your
Culligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.
Check Before
You Call for
Important
Service
If any of the following conditions is found, the water filter should be manually recharged according to
instructions on page 5 after you have corrected the problem.
Power Supply
Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet
is not controlled by a wall switch which has been turned off. Reset conditioner to proper time of day
and then plug in.
Blown Fuse
Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel. Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit
breaker.
Power Failure
Any interruption in your power supply or time changes - such as daylight savings - will disrupt your
filter’s recharge schedule by causing the timer to run off-schedule. Reset timer to proper time of day.
Bypass Valves
Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, if used, should be in the
“Service” position. If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are opened and that the
bypass valve is closed.
No Water
If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead
of the filter (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check
the bypass valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the bypass and call your Culligan dealer
for service.
Increased Usage
Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., all will result in more water usage and will
require more capacity from your filter. You can reprogram your recharging schedule by following the
directions on pages 6 and 7. Call your Culligan dealer for advice and save a service call.
10
Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your
Care and
Culligan Water Conditioner looking like new for years.
Cleaning of
1 Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the conditioner. Never use Your Water
harsh, abrasive cleaning compounds or those which contain acid, such as vinegar, bleach and Conditioner
similar products.
2 Important: Protect your water conditioner and the entire drainline from freezing temperatures.
DANGER! If your unit should freeze, do not attempt to disassemble it. Call your Culligan
Dealer.
3 Important: Culligan water filters are sold for use on potable water, only. If at any time the water
becomes contaminated, such as during a “boil water” situation, the operation of the water filter
should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable. To do this, screw the
blue knob on the back of the water filter against the barrel of the bypass valve. Then, call your
Culligan dealer to have your system sanitized before it is placed back into service.
If you have further questions, please call your local independently operated Culligan dealer. He or
she will be glad to be of assistance to you.

effective reduction of iron.
The 10” and 12” Iron-Cleer filters have been tested by WQA against NSF/ANSI 42 for the reduction of iron. The concentration of
iron in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the
system as specified in NSF/ANSI 42.
Testing was performed under laboratory conditions, actual results may vary.
Performance Indicator: If water flow decreases or a noticeable odor returns, the filter should be reconditioned. If conditions do not
improve, contact your local Culligan Man. He can determine if your filter requires servicing.
Regeneration Frequency: Regeneration frequency will vary depending upon water conditions.
Refer to your Installation and Operation Instructions, Parts List and Printed Warrantees for more specific product information.

Filtr-Cleer® Introduction
The High Efficiency Filtr-Cleer Automatic Water Filter is capable of reducing particulate matter down to
30 microns particle size. It will not remove color, organics, colloidal turbidity or dissolved solids. Some
applications follow:
• Reduction of suspended matters in any water system.
• Reduction of particulate matter, such as clay, mud, etc.
• Prefiltration of oxidized iron ahead of an automatic or manual softener.
• Reduction of light sand.
NOTE If sands cannot be removed from the Filtr-Cleer tank during backwashing, a
sand trap should be installed.
• After the retention tank when a Cul-Cleer® system is used to correct hydrogen sulfide or colloidal
suspension problems.
The quality and number of gallons filtered water between backwashes will depend upon the amount, type,
and size of the particulate matter being filtered. If a water sample is sent to our laboratory, where applica-
tion of a Filtr-Cleer unit is contemplated, write “Filtr-Cleer Analysis” on the sample tag. Send an additional
sample of water for a standard water analysis. The laboratory will test for Nephelometric Turbidity Units
(NTU) and suspended solids (mg/L). The sample will also be filtered through 10 micron filter paper and
NTU run on a filtered sample. If the NTU of the raw water exceeds 150, suspended solids exceed 150
mg/L or the filtered water through the 10 micron filter paper is of an unacceptable quality, a Filtr-Cleer
filter may not be applicable. As a guide, the U.S. Public Health Drinking Water standards states the turbid-
ity should not exceed 1 NTU. The exact number of gallons filtered between backwashes cannot be given
because of many variables.
Cullar® Filter
The High Efficiency Water Filter with Cullar Media will reduce chlorine taste and odor and other common
bad tastes and odors, and will also reduce most objectional organic colors. It will not remove hydrogen
sulfide. It is important to note that whenever the cause of an objectionable taste or odor has not been
established, Health Authorities should determine if water is safe to drink. If bacterial contamination is
present, a Cul-Cleer® system is indicated. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Following these simple precautions will help assure continued trouble-free service and keep your Culligan Care and
Water filter looking like new for years.
Cleaning of
1. Use only mild soap and warm water when cleaning the exterior of the filter. Never use harsh, Your Water
abrasive cleaning compounds or those which contain acid, such as vinegar, bleach and similar
products. Conditioner
2. Important: Protect your water conditioner and the entire drainline from freezing temperatures.
3. Important: Culligan water filters are sold for use on potable water, only. If at any time the water
becomes contaminated, such as during a “boil water” situation, the operation of the water filter
should be discontinued until it is verified that the water is again potable. To do this, rotate the
blue knob clockwise on the back of the water filter until it stops against the body of the
bypass valve. Then, call your Culligan dealer to have your system sanitized before it is placed
back into service.
4. Should service, adjustment or trouble-shooting information be needed which is not covered in
the Use and Care Guide, call your Culligan Dealer.
If you have further questions, please call your local independently operated Culligan dealer. He or she
will be glad to be of assistance to you. For your nearest Culligan dealer, call (800) 285-5442.

Things to If you unexpectedly experience changes in your water, make these simple checks before calling your Cul-
ligan dealer. One of the following conditions may be the reason for your interruption of service.
Check Before
You Call for Important
Service If any of the following conditions is found, the water filter should be manually recharged according to
instructions on page 13 after you have corrected the problem.
Power Supply
Check your power supply cord. Is it plugged fully into the electric outlet? Be certain that the outlet is not
controlled by a wall switch which has been turned off. Plug in the transformer then reset conditioner to
proper time of day.
Blown Fuse
Check the house fuse or circuit breaker panel. Replace a blown-out fuse or reset an open circuit breaker.
Power Failure
Any interruption in your power supply or time change—such as daylight savings—will disrupt your filter’s
recharge schedule by causing the timer to run off-schedule. Reset timer to proper time of day.
Bypass Valves
Check to see if they are in the proper position. Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, if used, should be in the “Service”
position (see page 18). If hand valves are used, see that inlet and outlet valve are opened and that the
bypass valve is closed.
No Water
If you aren’t getting any water flow at all, make sure your water supply is working. Open a tap ahead of
the conditioner (outside tap) to see if you have any water pressure. If you have water pressure, check the
bypass valve. If it is in the Service position, put it into the bypass and call your Culligan dealer for service.
Increased Usage
Guests, family additions, new water-using appliances, etc., all will result in more water usage and will
require more capacity from your filter. You can reprogram your recharging schedule by following the
directions on pages 4–8. Call your Culligan dealer for advice and save a service call.

Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include
avoiding unnecessary exposure, and removal of material from eyes, skin, and clothing.
Dispose of virgin (unused) carbon (waste or spillage) in a facility permitted for non-
hazardous wastes. Spent (used) carbon should be disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws. Do not reuse empty bags. Dispose of in facility permitted for non-
hazardous wastes. DO NOT DUMP INTO ANY SEWERS, ON THE GROUND OR
INTO ANY BODY OF WATER. All disposal methods must be in compliance with all
Federal, State, Local and Provincial laws and regulations. Regulations may vary in
different locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with applicable laws are
the responsibility solely of the waste generator.
Handling: Avoid dispersion into air. Keep containers dry and closed. Follow good
handling and housekeeping practices to minimize spills, generation of airborne dusts,
and accumulation of dusts on exposed surfaces. Use with adequate exhaust ventilation
to draw dust away from workers’ breathing zones. Prevent or minimize exposures to
dusts by using appropriate respirators, gloves, and eye protection. Wash exposed skin
areas thoroughly with soap and water. Use caution when pouring, using pneumatic
transport, swirling, etc. as this material can become electrostatically charged.

Clean spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air, preferably a wet-down
procedure or va cuum. If material is not contaminated, spilled media can be rebagged.
Material that cannot be used or chemically reprocessed and empty containers should be
disposed of in accordance with all applicable regulations. Product containers should be
thoroughly emptied before disposal. Generators of waste material are required to
evaluate all waste for compliance with RCRA and any local disposal procedures and
regulations. NOTE: State and local regulations may be more stringent than federal
regulations.
Warning: Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from the air and therefore dangerously
low levels of oxygen may be encountered. Whenever workers enter a vessel containing
activated carbon, the vessel's oxygen content should be determined and work
procedures for potentially low oxygen areas should be followed.

Acute toxic effects from aluminum oxide may include the death of animals, birds, or
fish, and death or low growth rate in plants. Acute effects are seen two to four days after
animals or plants come in contact with a toxic chemical substance. Aluminum oxide has
slight acute toxicity to aquatic life, but its toxicity will be increased under alkaline
conditions. Insufficient data are available to evaluate or predict the short-term effects of
aluminum oxide to plants, birds, or land animals. Chronic toxic effects may include
shortened lifespan, reproductive problems, lower fertility, and changes in appearance or
behavior. Chronic effects can be seen long after first exposure(s) to a toxic chemical.
