[. . . ] Operational, maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this product to perform properly. The Good Water Machine® contains replaceable particulate and activated carbon filters. It also includes a replaceable reverse osmosis membrane filter which is critical for the effective reduction of Total Dissolved Solids. The filtered water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly. Culligan International Company 9399 W. [. . . ] The Aqua-Cleer®/Good Water Machine® drinking water system is designed to be mounted near a sink for easy access to cold water and drain lines. Lengths of 1/4-inch and 3/8inch OD plastic tubing will be required to make this installation. A length of Culligan® drain tubing is required to install the air gap siphon break. Evaluate the installation site to determine the easiest path for the plumbing to follow. Take care to make the installation as neat as possible.

Otherwise the unit will overflow at the air gap siphon break built into the faucet, or make irritating gurgling sounds. The concentrate line that leads to the faucet should be installed in a straight vertical path to avoid making a gurgling noise. 7 Servicing Your System Service Schedule When properly maintained, your Good Water Machine will give you years of dependable service. Notice: Cleanliness is essential in the filter replacement procedure. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling filters. The use of protective gloves is strongly recommended. Materials: Pre-flushed activated carbon cartridge and polishing filter cartridge Particle filter Household (5. 25%) bleach - hydrogen peroxide is not recommended Clean 1-gallon plastic container with cap 100-ml graduated cylinder Plastic pan to hold manifold assembly Tubing connector, 3/8" tube x 3/8" tube Flat-blade and #2 Phillips screwdrivers Paper towels Disposable plastic gloves (like those used in the food service industry) 9 Servicing Your System (cont. ) Preparation 1. Remove the temporary tubing connector and replace it with a new polishing filter. Make sure the flow arrow on the polishing filter points to the faucet (Figure 4). 10 Sanitizing the Manifold Assembly 1. Using the flat-blade screwdriver, pull the u-clips from all three housings. Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom rear of the manifold and push up to release the filter housings. Remove the housings with a downward twisting pull. Discard any solution remaining in the housings. Open the particle filter cartridge bag half way, being careful not to touch the filter element. Lubricate the particle filter cartridge o-rings with water and insert the cartridge into position #1 in the manifold. Fill housing #1 about 2/3 full of the diluted bleach solution from the 1-gallon container. Assemble the housing to the manifold and replace the u-clip. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for housing #2 (activated carbon cartridge) and housing #3 (RO membrane filter). [. . . ] Performance will vary based on local water conditions.
