This simple test can be done quickly by your dealer. The Good Water SentryTM Water Quality Monitor is another way to keep track of your system’s performance. This optional accessory checks your drinking water each time you use the special faucet, and signals when the membrane filter may need to be replaced. If the water quality of your system seems to have declined, drain the storage tank and allow the system to refill. If the problem persists, call your Culligan Man for service.
