Installation This Owner’s Guide provides visual assembly reference only. Since specialized skills are required in the assembly of the drinking water system, we recommend that you contact your local independently operated Culligan dealer to complete this installation.
The exact placement of the components will vary by installation. Although shown beneath a sink, it may be installed in a basement, crawl space, or in an adjacent cabinet. Regardless of where the system is installed, the flow sequence described by (Figure 1) must be observed. Installation The Aqua-Cleer®/Good Water Machine® drinking water system is designed to be mounted near a sink for easy access to cold water and drain lines.
Servicing Your System Service Schedule When properly maintained, your Good Water Machine will give you years of dependable service. Use the following as a guide to get the most out of your system. Service frequency may vary depending on your local water conditions. High sediment, chlorine, turbidity, or hardness levels may require more frequent service. Refer to Figures 3 & 4.
Servicing Your System (cont.) Tubing Connectors The Good Water Machine features easy-to-use push-in tubing connectors (Fig. 2) on the manifold assembly and the polishing filter. To disconnect the connector, hold the collar against the fitting body and pull the tube from the fitting. To assemble lubricate the tubing end with water and push the tubing into the connector until it bottoms out. Be sure the tubing is smooth and free of abrasions, otherwise a leak may result.
Servicing Your System (cont.) Preparation 1. Locate the system’s supply valve and turn off the system’s water supply. 2. Using the graduated cylinder, add 5 ml (about 1 teaspoon) of bleach to the 1-gallon container. Open the dispenser faucet and fill with one gallon of product water. If there is not enough RO water, fill the container the rest of the way with soft water. Cap the container and shake to mix.
Sanitizing the Manifold Assembly 1. Using the flat-blade screwdriver, pull the u-clips from all three housings. Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom rear of the manifold and push up to release the filter housings. Remove the housings with a downward twisting pull. Discard any solution remaining in the housings. 2. Open the particle filter cartridge bag half way, being careful not to touch the filter element.
