Good to know!

I would make sure feed water to the RO is off and make sure the you are inserting the filters the correct way and twisting clockwise to lock them. Sometimes it just takes some force + wiggle to get them to seat properly. Good luck!

Would it be ok to use channel locks?

@@TheH2OBro I was able to solve the problem of the new filter refusing to rotate into the installed locked position. On the inside of the receptacle for the CF filter, there is a small circular device (approx. 3/4") at the furtherest rear end of the Culligan. I reached my hand inside the opening and with just one finger rotated it clockwise until it stopped turning and then I was able to easily install the new CF filter in place and rotate it to the locked position. I hope it helps anyone else with this problem.

You're welcome!

Glad it helped

Yes I have

You bet!

Glad it helped!

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you have a bad seal pack that’s constantly draining water in to the brine tank. If you replace that along with the eductor that you stated you replaced already then you should be all good after that

@@TheH2OBro thank you for your reply. So the seal pack was replaced last year by a Culligan tech so I don’t think that’s bad. It’s been about a week since we changed the eductor kit. I went into the basement to see if there were any changes and noticed the water was clear now (before it was dirty) and the water had gone down 50% of what it was. So about a quarter of the tank is full of clear water. My question is, does it take time for all the water to go down? If so, how long? Also, there’s no salt in there right now. Should I add salt? Or does the seal pack absolutely need to be changed? Thank you for your help!

@@samirawahid4523 sounds like your water softener is working properly now! There should always be about 1/4 tank of water in the brine tank, that is normal! So no, you do not need to change the seal pack. What happened was you replaced the eductor but had to wait for it to regenerate to draw the water out. All you need to do now is add salt 👍

@@TheH2OBro thank you soooooo much for your help! You saved me a lot of money!!!

@@TheH2OBro I’m really sorry but I have another question. I went and got 6 bags of salt. When I added them to the tank, the water just kept rising. I had to take a bucket and scoop water out. I’ve never had that much water in my tank or ever had to add that much salt and still have water showing. Is that normal or something still wrong?

The Ascent 40 does not have a service light

Do you have the HE smart water softener? Or the standard (non smart) HE aquasential?

By twin do you mean a whole house water filter and a water softener side by side?

I don’t have a part number available at the moment but if you go to your local Culligan and ask for an HE flow wheel they should be able to sell you one. In the mean time you can get your water softener working again by doing what I did in this video I tagged kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKiJf9GWqLjHXYk.htmlsi=i-AfwDbKZbb6WCbY

Thanks for watching! It uses about 60 gallons during regeneration

That means that you have to replace the pistons. Stay tuned I will be uploading a video this week on how to do that

Typically it’s 3-5 years depending on the output TDS reading. When it gets too high the red light on your faucet will light up and start beeping. Then it’s time. It flushes via the faucet and takes 30 minutes

I accidentally changed the RO membrane before I saw your comment. Its only been 1.5 years. I feel bad for not utilizing it to its potential of 3-5 years. Can i take out the new RO membrane and save it? Or once its wet it has to be used. Thanks for your insights.

Once it’s wet and then dries while in storage it’s prone to bacteria

Hi! I am new to this & subscribed. Am replacing my Cullingan drinking water system which was installed 2019 . Am going with this latest modern Cullingan Aquasential Smart Reverse Osmosis. Your video is indeed helpful for me. I just paid for it today…. So installation will be done sometime this week. Looking forward to your learning videos. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much 🙏

The post carbon? I did through the faucet

Directly from your local Culligan!

Any synthetic grease will do. Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it and glad I could save you a $200 service call

Yes, on the back of the circuit board there will be 10 dip switches. Simply slide them all to the OFF position then back to the ON position and that will do a factory reset. One thing to note is that typically a power outage will only reset the time of the day and not the settings. How this helps and thank you for watching!

@@TheH2OBro Thank you! I was able to do the steps but am still not seeing the CAPG, FLo and GALr options. Do you happen to know of any other way to get to these functions apart from what you show in your video? Also, I’m looking for an O-Ring replacement for a Seal Pack and Brine Piston and Sleeve Kit. if it is not too much trouble, since your system seems similar to mine, would you happen to have a part number for that or know where I can look to get the O-Rings? Thank you so much for your help!

Honestly I am not sure why you can’t see those options. Only thing I can think of is you have an older water softener and it’s set to regenerate by day intervals (tcb) and not by gallons used. As far as the seal pack, I don’t believe there is replacement o rings available only. You have to replace the whole seal pack and brine piston assembly as a kit. You might be ok with just servicing the seal pack. Here is a link to one of my videos on how to service it. Hope this helps! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7GKlN1lns_Mfac.htmlsi=dLZXBS2F-zivNabd

@@TheH2OBro Thank you again for your help! Do you know if all models use the same seal pack? If yes, do you possibly know the part number for your seal pack and where I can purchase one?

If your cam and Motor assembly look exactly like the one in the video then yes they all use the same seal pack. Part # 01016267

Hey thanks for watching. It’s called an HE flow impeller. If you can’t source it you can always just set the water softener to regenerate by day intervals. I have a video on my page showing how to do that

I think you would have to plug the tank inlet on the manifold if you want to do it that way. But honestly if you drain your tank twice you’ll be good 👍

You need to lower the capacity of the tank. Yours is probably at 800 gallons meaning it will regenerate when you hit that mark. If you lower it to say 600 gallons then it will regenerate sooner. Hope that helps

I’ve been wondering if the Culligan water softener is a good system or worth the cost. We have city water but it is also hard water.

I hope so too!

Yes E1 E2 E3 and E4 are all codes indicating that the water softener is stuck in a cycle and is not advancing to the next cycle for various reasons. One of which may happen if the power goes out while the water softener is in the regeneration process. If you follow these steps in the video you should get it back and running. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching

Glad you think so!

Happy to help!

Hey papa you make the best videos of cool looking water and I love him so much people should also like And subscribe if they don't I don't know what they are doing videos of no comments in here but you have the best videos and I hope you know that and also you're the best at making Korean videos

You are the best that we can call again water how do you make a cool looking water could you do it so well you're the best at doing it people should like And subscribe if they don't I don't know what they're doing

Best bet is from your local Culligan Dealer

I would buy them directly from your local Culligan dealer. The membranes from Amazon don’t work.

What about the other filters beside the membrane? Safe to buy from 3rd party? Thanks.

@1825oreo Yes third party is fine for those

Completely agree with you. I have AC 30 for 20 years. I have bought other membrane filter and the TDS are high around 120. Culligan OEM is around 15-30. I am guessing you get what you pay for. Thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed it
