Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse time, High salt dosage, Plugged drain limiting rinse flow, Incorrect valve programming

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Bypass the softener if water taste is objectionable until the issue is corrected.

  • Check drain flow: Ensure the drain line is not restricted and that backwash and rinse flows are strong during regeneration.
  • Review programming: Verify that the salt dosage and rinse times match Culligan specifications for your model and resin size.
  • Run an extra regeneration: After correcting issues, run an additional manual regeneration to fully rinse the resin bed.
