This system should be under warranty still. If it is running to drain constantly bypass the system and call Culligan for service. Unplug it for 2 minutes and it may reset.

The pressure on an EMPTY tank should be 8-10 psi. Be sure the tank is empty before checking the pressure. A good way to empty the tank is to connect a small air compressor to the air valve on the tank, open the systems faucet, and turn on the compressor. A bicycle pump works too....Just more of a workout:)

Hello,

They could be loose, try to tighten them a little bit :)

You can find info on www.salvajor.com under the tech info tab. You'll also need to know which control you're using. You also need to know if the disposer is one or three phase. These machines are designed to be run by salvajor controllers and not just normal switches.

You need to test the air pressure with the tank totally empty, remove the tube that is going into the tank and open the tank valve to release all water, if water is in tank and does not come out your bladder is finished and you will need a new tank, if you are able to get all the water out then you need to test PSI again and it needs to be between 7-10 psi, this way when the bladder fills up again with water that pressure will be the ideal 40-50 psi.

To set the timer on a Mark 49 Culligan water softener to refill the brine tank, you will need to consult the user manual for specific instructions. The manual will provide information on how to set the timer to control the frequency of regeneration cycles, as well as the amount of salt that is added to the brine tank during each cycle. If you no longer have the manual, you can contact Culligan or check their website for a downloadable copy. If the brine tank is not refilling enough after cleaning, it is possible that the brine tank float may be stuck or damaged, or the water level in the brine tank may be set too low.

You need to check pressure in tank , it should about 7 psi. If you can't get pressure reading and it will not take air the tank is defective. However if their is no air on bladder you can not drain tank. You will need to a gauge that will read 5-10psi accurately. You can but tank at Home Depot or Lowe's for lot less money than Cullligan.

It sounds like there is not enough flow through the softener. It must be partially blocking the flow. Flushing the toilet will allow the pressure on the output side of the blockage to drop while the pressure on the input side of the blockage would remain the same. Once the toilet refills the pressure would gradually increase back to 50psi.

The problem with Culligan is that most of their parts are very priority and hard to find anywhere but through Culligan. If you go to their web site they do not provide instructions for working on them yourself. I sure that motor is available out there and if you feel comfortable taking it apart a replacement motor may be available through an aftermarket source the problem is the part may or may not have part numbers on it other than Culligan numbers.

I wish I had better news on this but Culligan is really secretive.

One thing to try is pick up a tap adapter, from an appliance store. The adapter is intended to connect a portable dishwasher or washing machine....these adapters have several small pieces that may be able to be used with the pieces from the Culligan adapter.

First make sure you are getting water to the unit. There should be an 1/8" line supplying water to the unit on the back side and the line may be bent or kinked. If there is a good water supply then the next thing to check is the inline filter if it has one or it may have an internal filter system, check it. If at this point you are still not getting water then it will be in the electrical system ie: the solenoid switch that opens and closes the water supply for the ice maker.

Now you have said that you are not even getting water to the faucet so I would go with the water supply problems as being the problem.

Take the housing back off and make sure the seal is where it belongs and before you put it back together lube the o-ring with some o-ring lube this well keep it from moving with the housing as you tighten it up. You can use some other type lube but it should be food grade lube.

Sitting atop the filter housing cap is a red pressure relief button, which vents excess pressure inside the housing to make installing Culligan replacement filter cartridges a breeze.

Usually you turn the top which turns off the water. Put a bucket under the filter and press the red button. Some water will spurt out to relieve pressure. The filter housing are usually removed with a special wrench. Discard element. Install new one and tighten.

sometimes the heads go bad on those and they get stuck in a regeneration cycle that just flushes the tank out. put it on bypass or call your softner maker and alot of times they will help you diagnose it and send you replacement parts. also some of the softner heads use small electric motors that get siezed as well

Contact Culligan for an installation manual. They can fax or email the information that you may be looking for.
