Need to shorten your “to-do” list? If you have a water softener in the house, one item you can cross off your list is buying salt and filling the salt tank, thanks to the new two-part Salt ’n Service delivery program from Culligan®. First, your local Culligan Man® will deliver salt right to your home and into your water softener.

No, this unit regenerates with just a 1 pound box of table salt. You just shut off the water supply, unhook the outlet side of the water softener, twist off the tank cap, pour in the table salt, put the cap back on, turn on the water supply, and rinse the unit for about 15 minutes. This will complete the regeneration process. See similar questions...

It all depends on the hardness of the raw water. The following table shows the additional amount of sodium consumed by drinking one quart of softened water. See similar questions...

The R14 is identical in maintenance to the R32 GTR. These are not the easiest cars to work on, but being proactive and intelligently building the car will result in a reliable, high performance vehicle. See similar questions...

Water is considered hard if it contains calcium and magnesium. Both are common elements found in water. According to the Water Quality Association, hard water is water that has hardness minerals in excess of 1 grain per gallon (gpg). Most water supplies range from 3 to 50 gpg. Following are relative levels of hardness: If left untreated hard water will form scaling in water heaters, pipes, boilers, air conditioners, etc. See similar questions...

Yes you can. Mineral buildup is a problem where the water is heated, i.e. in the tank. The water is being cooled in the tubing so mineral buildup is not possible in the tubing. Mineral buildup in the tank can be minimized by using a powerful heater so that you can have low operating temperatures. Mineral buildup is not likely at temperatures below 1400 F.

A great deal of research has been done on this subject. According to The Water Quality Association (WQA), water softener regeneration discharge poses no problems to a septic tank or its related leach field. Studies have shown that discharge (waste) does not interfere with the system drain field soil percolation, and in many cases, can actually improve the percolation especially when fine textured soils are involved.

Our standard installation is quick and unobtrusive. Once installed, you can forget about it except for adding salt as required. In most cases our standard domestic installation method is suitable for most households. If there are any difficulties we can advise you about this when we carry out the survey. But rest assured ... we usually have a way to get round any problems. See similar questions...

Installation is usually completed within two to five working days of placing your order. If you have a direct feed system (as used with combination boilers) the soft water will start to flow immediately after the first salt recharge. If your water passes through a cold water storage tank and is heated in a hot water cylinder, the softened water will gradually replace the water already stored in the tanks and the effect will be slightly delayed.

The most common water softening method is called "ion exchange.” Put simply, this type of softening is a process where calcium and magnesium (the minerals that make water hard) ions are exchanged for sodium ions. This exchange takes place in a "resin bed" made up of a tiny bead-like material. The beads have a negative charge and attract and hold positively charged ions such as sodium.

This is a matter of personal choice. A softener will improve the efficiency and increase the life of appliances using hot water. It will make lathering easier and reduce tide marks on sanitary ware. Some people with skin conditions, such as eczema, have fewer problems if they use soft water for washing. But if you do install a water softener you should make sure that you have a supply of unsoftened water for drinking and cooking. See similar questions...

If you are bothered by a sticky, gummy soap curd deposit in your bathtub or by the buildup of white deposits (called scale) on your cooking pots and coffee maker, a water softener can help with these problems. You can find out the hardness of your drinking water by telephoning your water supplier. The higher the hardness number, the more a water softener will help. See similar questions...

A water softener removes calcium, magnesium, lime, and iron from supply water. By removing these minerals, you eliminate buildup in pipes, on fixtures, and in your RV water heater. See similar questions...

This compact unit measures 6 ¾' in diameter by 22" in height. The water softener will soften approximately 300 gallons of water between regenerations depending on water hardness from the supply. See similar questions...

Yes, but don't worry. The "On-The-Go" Water Softener is manufactured so none of the resin can be lost. Inlets and outlets are conveniently marked for ease in installation. See similar questions...
