How to Set Up Codes for Culligan Water Softeners

A Culligan water softener is connected to the main water supply line to soften hard water and filter out iron in the water. The system is electronic and requires programming to set the desired amount of softening for the water coming through the system. The system is automatically set to a default setting when you first begin using your water softener. You can customize the settings, and the system allows you to program each of the six settings, one after the other.
