THANK YOU, my husband and I just purchased a home with a water softener system and we were going to call someone. This was so easy to follow and take care of.

Straight-forward, well-explained in everyday English, with no technical mumbo-jumbo. You! Are! A! God!

Thank you!!! My spouse was thoroughly impressed!!! Saved money and looked like a macho man!!! 😂

Thanks for the recommendation. Great information in the video 👍

By the way great job on cleaning out that salt tank!

Thank You Sir!

Thanks

Thank you for posting this helpful video.

Thank you,

It looks just like mine lol. Thanks for the help

I would recommend purchasing a bottle of Res Care Resin Cleaner and a pack of Sani-System Water Softener Sanitizer. You can pour both down the brine well and the regenerate the water softener. This could bring back the resin to life and also sanitize water softener.

Great video thanks for sharing!

Never fill brine tank with salt if left on the intendant it creates a salt bridge also tonight by pellets use solar or crystals they deserve better pallets or cheap salt leaves residue other than that great video

Thank you! Mine is smelling! Didn’t know how to clean it.

Great video! Did you use Dishsoap and vinegar to clean the brine tank as well? Thanks

TY!!!

I have a Culligan system that has been unused for about 3 years now as we moved into a new home. The whole system is 9 years old. It has been on bypass mode now for years. I cleaned out the brine tank but have not used a resin cleaner or sanitizer yet. I'm wondering if I need to change out the resin at this point or if the cleanser you used would be good enough. How often does resin need to be changed out?

I just bought a home and looked in the brine tank. Empty with the exception of some dirty water. My only issue is that it’s winter now and temps are hitting below 20 degrees. Not gonna be able to use the garden hose

Awesome . Didnu shut off the resin tank hose before cleaning? I saw you at tye end of the video reaching behind the system and twisted something. Thx

So I’m assuming since that you used your garden hose to clean tank that the water throughout the distribution system still works despite the water softening system being disassembled? Thanks for the video by the way. I’m seeing what looks like rust in my toilet and got me wondering.

Great video. Due to a home purchase, I'm a fairly new owner of a two-resin-tank Culligan system. Every other year, they show up and 'swap' my 54" HE Tank for a so-called refreshed tank, itemized on their bill as an "AI PURGE". I'm wondering, are they simply doing a cleaning process similar to your video back at their facility, then swapping in their clean tank for my 'dirty' one? If so, I believe your method could save me a chunk of change.

Mine, which is just like yours, isn't regenerating when I push the regen button. Plus I need to change out the beads which I'll do that later. Brine tank has a acidic smell to it. I added Iron out about 2 weeks ago. I hate calling someone but may have to. Appreciate any help.

When you cleaned it did you just use dish soap? And is that typical to just fill them to the top and how many bags does that take about? Thanks for the video! Very helpful im sure culligan would charge 500 and make it sound fancy but really just to the same thing

How do you add water? Did you add it manually or does it fill it when you run the regen? Do you set the water at a certain level?

The brine tank is the smaller tube inside the salt tank. Killed all that grass too lol.

I have the same system in your video should my regen be loud and sounds like high pressure spitting water?

Did you put the water softener cleaner into an empty salt tank? Or was there other materials in it? Ours is empty and hasn't been used for years and want to try this but unsure if I need salt in the tank first?

I am not sure how my system is but it is not working properly. It supposed to use the course solar salt but the last time it got filled they put in the pellets and it taking forever for it to get used up and doesn't seem to work at all. The water is hard and it has an oder. What should I do? I am thinking about dumping it out but it is half full of salt?

Thank you! Every how many months to do this?

I have that same Culligan water system... can you do a video tutorial on how to set that control box and all the various settings for the many stages of the regen cycle? Reading the manual is so confusing...

I have the same softener. When you run the regen/backwash with the cleaner, were you in bypass mode or no?

What about that filter doohickey in the middle? Does that ever need replacing? Also, are there supposed to be some kind of beads at the bottom of the tank that you washed and filled with salt? Just got a house with a water softener that has not been maintained; tank is empty and dirty, so I definitely need to clean it, but no idea what else needs to be done.

I have a question, I did everything and for some reason there's some light brown water coming thyroid the toilets and the water from the fridge (dispenser) as well. What could be the reason for this? Thank you!

My water softener is approximately 25 yrs old. Must be getting plugged because the house soft water supply has reduced by 50% in the last few weeks. The head of the softener on the tank has a red lever. Do you simply pull back on the lever to unlock or remove pressure in the tank?

I have a "check salt" warning on my Culligan Gold series display. I checked the salt and noticed it hasn't really gone down any over since I last filled the salt up. I'm currently trying to regen, because the only thing I could find in my manual about the issue says "The alert can only be cleared after a successful regeneration of the resin bed." Have you ever encountered this issue? Great video btw, thank you!

Do I put it in bypass mode before I add cleaner and regenerate?

If my Culligan MultiMax Conditioner brine tank has water levels a little bit over half, can I just dump this cleanser and do a manual regen? I want to clean my tank and re-add salt. I see no salt in my tank. My brine tank has blue water and black particles floating.

I assume we bypass before pouring cleaner in there and letting it regen?

The Culligan brine well (the tube inside the tank)... does it not come with a lid cover? Many other brands of brine wells have a lid cover... can you confirm?

Just bought a home with a similar unit. However there are 2 tanks setup with this unit. One with buttons status, regen, +, -. And the other tank device has arrow up, arrow down, X, and a checkmark. Any idea what I've got going here? Also, where can I find these products, and approx how much are the bags of salt? And what is the term for it? I'd appreciate any knowledge you can share. Thank you

I just bought a house and it has the same system I know I need to add add all of sal as he tank is completely empty But is there a way to adjust water pressure It’s really low Thanks in advance

My bink tank run out of salt, i bought some, clean my tank but I dont see any button on the softener tank to press to regenerate, its plug in .. I have a elan water treatment, can you tell me what to press to fill water in the bink tank

I saw online that Iron Out would bring the resin "back to life" have you heard same? If not what would be a good product? Thank you,

How many bags of salts do I need to put in sir

How did you determine the black contaminant wasn't black mold?

Great video. The “really? Working w an open knife??” made me laugh…but I know it’s not funny when you cut yourself in that totally avoidable way!!

Are you supposed to fill it that full with salt?

Ever since this E3 code came up, my culligan hasn’t worked . I constantly unplug it and plug it back in to reset it and it starts making noises for about 60-90 minutes and I’ll have soft water again for maybe a couple of days and then back to crappy super hard water and pellets not used up. I hate this thing. It’s only maybe 5 years old and it sucks. Any idea how I can fix this? I might toss it and get a different one , not culligan.

How much salt did you add? I recently purchased a home with a Culligan system that needs serviced and can’t find an answer on my question. Thanks

I just noticed that our water softener stopped using salt, it's been a long time since I put new salt in it and it still has the salt that I put in it like six months ago. Then a couple weeks ago the water dispenser on the fridge stopped working, probably due to hard water being pumped through it. I dunno what to do!

Wouldn’t the ammonia and vinegar, caustic and acid, cancel each other out?

Will this help with the “rotten egg” smell in my cold water?

My system looks similar to yours, but it says "check salt" on the display. does that mean the salt tank is dirty? havent ever took it apart since owning the house and I bet the old owner hasnt either. I regenerated twice and it still has the error. any advice?

I just bought a house with this exact culligan softener. My water isn't getting softener. I have cleaned the brine tank. How do you clean the brine injector? What are the steps?

wow, i've never seen a brine tank filled up to the brim with salt pellets. lol

How long can that water softener last? I have the same one and want to know if I should clean it or replace.

You don't need to clean the injector?

You can fill the tank up??

My Brine tank is currently not filling up with water. Could this be due to a clog in the tank?

Great video but just be careful that dumping that brine could hurt your lawn!

I think mine has a drain on the bottom no clue how to take it out

Personally I would have run the Whirlpool cleaner through the mineral tank after the brine tank was cleaned because all that nasty stuff went through the mineral tank.

Do not suggest emptying onto your grass, unless you want dead grass

that salt your pouring on your lawn will kill the grass.

It would have been useful for the presenter to give us some details on the manufacturer directions of the resin cleaner including the brand name and what it is composed of. The second recommendation would be for the presenter to correctly refer to the tall cylindrical tank as the resin tank. I have no idea why you are referring to it as a mineral tank. My understanding of what the resin tank does is capture calcium and magnesium ions, then when the resin tank is regenerated through the use of brine, the calcium magnesium are flushed out of the resin beads. Hard metal such as iron remain on the resin beads and the liquid resin bead cleaner which you poured in the empty Rhine tank remove the iron from the beads. At least that's my understanding of what's taking place. The other recommendation I would make for the presenter is to clean the exterior of both the prime tank and the resin tank for sanitary reasons. Also, I don't believe you mentioned what the incoming big blue housing contained and why. Is it a carbon block filter to remove chlorine? Is it a sediment filter to remove fine sediment? Anyway I hope you use these comments to help improve your presentation if you do another one. Take care.
