How your water conditioner works WHY WATER GETS HARD AND HOW IT’S SOFTENED All of the fresh water in the world originally falls as rain, snow, or sleet. Surface water is drawn upward by the sun, forming clouds. Then nearly pure and soft as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it passes through smog and dust-laden atmosphere.

Salt supply, usage and service . . . WHAT KIND OF SALT IS BEST All Culligan Water Conditioners are designed to use any water conditioner salt of good quality, including “rock,” “pellet,” “solar,” or “evaporated” types.

When and how to bypass your Culligan water conditioner . . . Normally, all water except to outside lines passes through the water condi- tioner.
