The questions for assessment are reasonable but essential. The trainees have at least 70% written
exam and perform all mandated safety procedure required for manual operation of the Sand Filter
System.
5.4 Re-examination
The trainees must score at least 70% of both examinations to pass the examination. Failing trainees
can re-sit only after repeating the full course. A certificate will be issued only if the candidates pass
both the written and the practical examinations.

3.2 Controller
Controller
• The Culligan GBE control’s primary function is to initiate and control the
regeneration process via methods that are most convenient and cost
effective for the customer while offering many operation features and
benefits
Controller Features
• Power Source
Electrical power required for the control is 24-Volt 50/60 Hz AC current. A
plug-in transformer (220v/24v) is provided.
• Battery Backup
Battery backup is available as an optional field add-on. The battery backup
will maintain the time of day for a minimum of 4 weeks using -lithium type
battery as supplied by Culligan.
• EEPROM
Saves programmed and statistical functions.
• AC Outputs
Four AC outputs are found within the controller for the following purposes:
Motor control
Blocking Valve (blocks the flow of water to service)
Two programmable outputs for various optional accessories
Controller Features
• One- Touch Program Update
Multiple controls can have their programs updated simply through the touch
of a button on the primary or “Master” control eliminating the need to the
programming process for each subsequent control in a system.
• Lock/Unlock
Allows the control to be easily locked out from inadvertent program
changes or abuse. This feature can be disabled if desired.
• Time of Day
Displays current time in either 12 hour (AM/PM) or 24 hour format.
• Current Day of Week Regeneration
This feature is available for single, time clock operated systems.
Controller Features
• Regeneration Interval
Provides an ability to initiate a time clock operated system on a number of
days (range from 1 to 99 days), hours (range 1 to 24 hours), or a specific
day of the week (single, time clock systems).
• Progressive Flow Trip Point
Use of this patented feature allows multiple tank systems operating with
water meters to be brought on-line or off-line as facility flow demands
increase or decrease.
• Regeneration Start Delay
Allows a user determined number of hours (up to 9) to be input into the
control for the purpose of increasing the amount of time between multiple
regeneration initiations.
Controller Features
• Program Beeper
Emits an audible beep when key pads are depressed to help identify valid
(short beep) or invalid (3 short beeps) key pad touches. Can be enabled or
disabled as desired.
• Screen Blanking
The screen can be programmed to go blank once programming is complete
(After 5 minutes of no keypad activity).
• Flow Meter/Sensor Input
Various types of Hall effect flow sensors can be used to measure the
amount of treated water provided and initiate a regeneration sequence.
Controller Features
• Auxiliary Input
The auxiliary input is capable of accepting a remote signal from a dry
contact device such as an operator push-button for the purpose of initiating
the regeneration sequence.
• Home and Position Switch Inputs
The home and position switch inputs work to automatically detect the cycle
position of the valve and properly configure the circuit board for operation
with either a four or five-cycle valve. The inputs also assist the operator to
troubleshoot many types of service problems.

4.1 Basic Principles
A. Depth Filter
• Depth filters filter both heavy sediment and suspended matter
from the water supply.
• In normal operation, the water passes through the multi-port
valve and into the top of the media tank.
• As the water flows down through the mineral bed, sediment in
the water is filtered out.
• The clear water that leaves the bottom of the media tank and
goes through the service lines is free from most sediment and
suspended matter.
4.1 Basic Principles (continuation)
A. Depth Filter (contd..)
• To keep the filter operating properly, it is necessary to
periodically remove the accumulated sediment from the mineral
bed. This is done by a three step cleaning process:
1. Backwash
The direction of flow through the bed is reversed and the mineral bed
is “backwashed”. This action expands and agitates the bed,
releasing the sediment which is then carried up and out to the drain.
2. Settle
The tank is allowed to set idle to allow the different types of media to
rest ratify and settle. Water flow to drain will be present during the
duration of this step.
3. Fast Rinse
A fast down flow “flush” repacks the mineral bed and the filter is
again ready for service.
