My water hose from my culligan n8 came off and water was poring out,..where did that come from and where do i reattach it? thx!

That is way too frequently! It is true that these tend to have sealpack problems, but usually every 3-5 years would be normal replacement for sealpack on this system. I suspect you are getting sediment or sand from the well and this is causing the sealpack damage. A pre-filter housing with 20-30 micron filter may improve this problem. Run your outside hose into a white bucket and pay attention to any sand, sediment or debris that may settle out of the water after letting the water sit. Suggest letting the pump cycle several times while observing for sediment.If substantial sediment is seen,I would suggest flushing the well for several hours (just let the hose run, for several hours).

If the "black hose" is about 1/2" in diameter it attaches to the drain elbow on the left side of the valve. Use a hose clamp, cut some of the drain line back (about 2") slide it back on the drain elbow and clamp it on the elbow.
If the black hose is 3/8" it attaches to the fitting on the salt tank, which attaches to the float.
If it broke because it is brittle I would go to any water treatment dealer and get a new piece of "brine line" to replace it.

Run the tank empty of water at least 2x. This should take care of problem. You really should dump 2 tanks of water each time because carbon fines can get in the tank when changing new filters.

Hello,

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

The feed water goes in the bottom and the product water comes out the top to faucet.

The Culligan N8 Custom and Estate 2 water softener systems are basically the same system. Here are a couple links for N8 manual to reset timer and Est 2 manual for other settings on systems that have "DIP" switches to set gallons settings.

The number you gave is likely a serial number, so I am unsure as to which Culligan RO system you have. I have included a link below to a page with several different system manuals, many of which are Culligan.

Take a leather belt, stick the end into belt loop, slide loop over cartridge. If belt tighten-up against cartridge keep pulling until cartridge is loose, if belt doesn't tighten turn belt over and reattach to cartridge.

Normally when it leaks out the weep hole the drain line is plugged under the sink....turn off the ro to where it's not making water, disconnect the drain hose and flush it out....make sure the adapter that's connected to the drain pipe is still lined up with the hole if it was moved the water can't get to the drain.
