Culligan Rust-Master System Maintenance?




We have a Culligan Rust-Master for removal of iron and sulphur, and the Culligan Mark-100 water softener.

Over the last several months we have been having sulphur deposits in the toilets so we brough in the Culligan man…. He said that the first problem was that the valve to let air into the system needed to be replaced and, if that didn’t fix the problem, the mineral tank needed to be replaced because it’s probably full. He said that mineral tanks typically last 4-5 years at most so they need to be replaced regularly.

We had a plumber take a look too, and he agreed about the valve. He also wants to replace the aerator/precipitator with something other than Culligan, because it offers a port at the bottom for draining the sludge, instead of replacing the tank.

The main question I have is… Are the Culligan man and the plumber talking about replacing the same piece? I’ve tried to correlate "mineral tank" with the aerator/precipitator but haven’t been able to find any relationship.

Do mineral tanks (or whatever they’re called) for the Culligan Rustmaster need to be replaced every few years?

Another, related, question… The Culligan manual says to put the aerator/precipitator after the water pressure tank and before the filter tank. But the plumber says that the aerator/precipitator should be before the pressure tank. Which way is better?

Thanks,

Trevor.

I just a bought a vitapur water dispenser and cold water comes out of it perfectly fine but no hot water is coming from it. why?

Because I use a Culligan Water treatment system I get a rotten egg smell from the hot water, I guess from reaction to the MagRod.

Is Perrier mineral water good for you?




I’m trying to rid my life from soda and someone told me Perrier mineral water would help me out. Is this a good substitute for me? What are the health benefits from this?

I have the KSRV22FVMS02 and the ice dispenser switch is broken. I thhink it is just misaligned since it happened right after I "corrected" an ice jam

I have one of the dog bowls with the big huge bottle of water on top so when the dog drinks, it refills itself. I’m wondering how to clean inside of the bottle.. What should I use and how to I do it? Thank you.
How can slime be O.K. for a dog? And if I use bleach, what if some of the bleach water stays in the bottle? My dog may get sick….
Wait, never mind, I can rinse it a few times. But, still, the slime thing????

What kind of mineral water is your favorite?




I’m drinking Gerolsteiner right now.

Also, if you could teach me how to clean the 5 ltr gallon water container. Thanks
What bleach particularly you mean? Isn’t it harmful to ingest if it contaminates my drinking water? Can I use baking soda instead?

Replacing a hot water dispenser?




I need to replace my hot water dispenser (the faucet part, not the heater unit) but I’m not sure about sizing. Are they all the same size as far as installation goes?
