Mark 49 Culligan softener what timer settings do I need to refill brine tank.

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.

Culligan water softener mark 89 model 3526-82,3526-83. unit doesn't seem to be drawing brine during regeneration

Either the electric valve has failed, or the line is plugged. Try blowing out the water line first and free it up from buildup and then if it seems unobstructed, check the valve function. Salt crystal buildup is common.

My softener is a Culligan Mark 89. Water looks clear but is real salty. I bypassed the system and purged the lines to get rid of the taste.

Call Culligan for service. You have a serious problem as it sounds like your resin bed is not going through the backwash cycle before returning to operate mode.

Normally when your water softener goes through a recharge cycle, a solenoid operates to bypass the system while brine (extremely salty water) is drawn into the resin tank to perform the ion exchange process. This is a timed process. Once it completes then your softener switches into backwash mode where the resin bed is flushed with clear water. Finally at the end of the recharge cycle the softner switches back into normal operation.

This is not something that you can fix yourself. Contact Culligan immediately.

MARK 100 KEEPS DRAINING A LITTLE WATER OUT OF DRAIN HOSE ALL THE TIME UNLESS I BYPASS.

If the softener is trickling to the drain it needs the sealpack replaced. This is the main piston and seals all as on unit. There is a bad seal causing water to bypass it and run to drain. Sealpacks are available from your Culligan dealer. If you are a do it yourselfer it takes about 20 minutes to replace the sealpack.

That depends on what part of the cycle water is going into salt tank. If it is the last cycle (refill) it is normal until the proper water level is reached. If it is any other cycle then the brine piston or sealpack needs to be replaced.

There is a problem with the main piston/sealpack assembly and it needs to be replaced. You can get this kit at Culligan and replace it yourself, if you are handy, it takes about 20 minutes. Replace the refill piston at the same time. Or have Culligan do it.

There is a constant trickle of water from my mark 89.

If the constant trickle is going to the drain this indicates a problem with the piston / sealpack assembly. It needs to be replaced. When replacing the sealpack assembly it is best to also replace the refill piston.

I have had salt in for 3 weeks culligan mark 89 is not recharging

If the unit will recharge then you might have what is called a salt bridge in the tank. The salt is stuck above the water level in the salt tank. Poor a gallon of water over the top of the salt and see if you can then break it up. The salt should go down then.

My culligan mark 89 water softner the salt bin never is used up anymore. its been 2 months now and its still full but i hear it everynight turn on

Try cleaning the filter screen under the metal cover plate. Also check your water supply pressure. Some softeners won't run properly on low pressure.
