Efficient and Scalable Heavy-Duty Water Treatment System

Use Culligan® equipment to help meet the highest standard of water quality at your facility. The Culligan® Side Mount heavy-duty softener reduces hard water contaminants (Contaminants may not necessarily be in your water.), even for large flow volume applications, reducing scale buildup that can affect equipment performance. The Culligan®-exclusive Smart Controller allows you to efficiently set up and manage your water treatment. Using optional accessories, monitor water usage data, such as the flow rate and volume, and regenerate the system as needed, saving resources and money.

Warranty N/A Culligan®'s CSM™ water softeners are backed by a limited 1-year warranty against defects in material, workmanship and corrosion. In addition, softener tanks are warranted for a period of 5 years. (Culligan® will provide a copy of the warranty upon request.)

Some localities have corrosive water. A softener cannot correct this condition, so its printed warranty disclaims liability for corrosion of plumbing lines, fixtures, or water-using equipment. If you suspect corrosion, your independently operated Culligan® dealer has equipment to help control the problem.
Additional Information N/A The CSM™ softener is part of the Culligan® Commercial and Industrial Solutions that combine durable and efficient equipment, systems experience, and technical experts who understand your unique requirements. From planning your system to installing your water treatment equipment, Culligan® Commercial and Industrial Solutions offer options that help deliver the quality of water to meet your needs. Contact Culligan® today to learn more about the CSM™ softener system.
Note N/A Flow rates shown are per tank.
Low flow channeling (flow rates less than 0.5 gallons per minute per cubic foot of resin) may cause hardness leakage into effluent.
