Tubing Connectors
The Aqua-Cleer
®
/Good Water Machine
®
system features reliable and convenient push-to-connect (Figure 1) tubing connectors.
Tubing is easily connected and disconnected from these fittings as follows.
Connect:
Cut the tubing squarely with a sharp knife. Be careful not to crush the tubing. To avoid leaks, make sure the tubing end is
smooth and free of burrs and abrasions. Lubricate the end of the tube with water or a light coat of silicone and push the tube
end firmly into the fitting. You should feel it push past the O-ring. Avoid bending the tubing sharply away from the fitting.
Disconnect:
Hold the collar against the fitting body and pull the tube from the fitting.
In the unlikely event that the connection leaks, remove and recut the tubing. Check the inside of the fitting for debris or O-ring
damage. Reconnect.
Push-to-connect tubing connectors grip the outside diameter of the tube. To help assure a reliable connection, it is important to
use high quality tubing with a consistent outside diameter. Culligan recommends that the tubing listed in the “Suggested Installation
Equipment” section of this manual (page 5) be used with the Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine system.

Manifold/Main Filter Assembly
• Manifold Assembly
The manifold assembly, Figure 2 item (1), serves as the functional hub of the Aqua-Cleer/Good Water Machine system by
directing the flow through each of the system’s main components.
• Particle Filter
The particle filter (2) is wound from spun polypropylene cord and is closed at one end. The particle filter screens out particulate
material, such as dirt, sand, or rust, which may clog the other filters in the system. The filter is available in either 5 microns or
1 micron.
• Activated Carbon Filter
The activated carbon filter (3) is offered in two styles, granular or block. Both are rated to treat 2000 gallons of water
containing 2.0 ppm of chlorine. The active material is acid washed activated carbon. The activated carbon filter reduces
chlorine which may damage the RO membrane filter. It must be regularly checked and or replaced to prevent premature
membrane failure.
