The way to Adjust the Salt Setting on a Culligan Water Softener

Newer Culligan water softeners have programmable functions that enable a homeowner to correct the salt level within the unit. Periodically resetting the salt level ensures the softener filters out unwanted minerals that can develop on faucets and cause the water to taste bitter. In case you have an old water softener, consult a Culligan technician regarding testing the water and fixing the sodium amount. Generally, a homeowner may adjust the salt level on a newer Culligan water softener in a rather brief time.

Fill the container to the water-softener test kit using water from a kitchen or Concepts for designer bathrooms Milwaukee faucet. Apply several drops of the testing solution from the container. Notice the outcome and proceed with adjusting the salt setting.

Press the “Setup/Enter” key on the water softener’s control panel. The LED screen will show “tod,” that is the “Time of Day” setting.

Use the Setup/Enter key to scroll through the menu choices to “SLtP.” Wait until the screen displays the current measurement — dosage — for sodium dosage in lbs. Instead, “SLtG” displays the dimension in kilograms.

Press the “Plus” key on the control panel to adjust the salt dosage to a higher number if the water is too hard or tastes dirty. Use the “Minus” key to lessen the salt dosage when the water is too soft. Typically, water is too soft when you always notice soap residue on dishes or clothes.

Save the setting by pressing the “Status” key. Employing the Setup/Enter key, scroll through the menu before the LED screen is blank. Press the Status key again to leave the programmable purposes.
