Recommended Preventative Maintenance Inspection Schedule The Culligan Medallist Series water filter has been designed to provide a good, consistent service life. Routinely inspecting the system may help avoid potentially costly breakdowns related to circumstances outside of the control of the dealer and/or user. The filter is for problem water use and routine maintenance is required. Component Entire System Suggested Inspection Frequency At Start-up, after infrequent use (idle for one week or more) or every - 6 months if on a private water supply. Reason for Maintenance On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly if musty or "rotten egg" (caused by harmless sulfate-reducing bacteria) may indicate a need for the system to be sanitized. Build up of sediment, iron and/or other foreign materials (found in some water supplies but not necessarily all) could negatively affect system performance. Cullneu Filter - As water passes through the Cullneu filter, the media slowly dissolves and neutralizes the water. The rate at which the Cullneu media dissolves depends on a number of factors such as temperature flow rate and pH. Cullar - Replace when taste odor or chlorine can no longer be removed. Filtr-Cleer - Media may need to be reconditioned or replaced depending on water characteristics. Backwash Flow Controller Media 11 When & How to Bypass Your Water Filter Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water filter.
