Culligan Super S Water Conditioner - Recurring Constant Water Running Issue
Hello, I have a culligan water system installed in my home and have had the sealpack in the super s water conditioner replaced 4 times in the past two years due to it failing and causing water to run nonstop (backflush?). This recurring issue has been explained to me as common. Is this truly a common issue? These repeat service calls are getting very expensive.

That is way too frequently! It is true that these tend to have sealpack problems, but usually every 3-5 years would be normal replacement for sealpack on this system. I suspect you are getting sediment or sand from the well and this is causing the sealpack damage. A pre-filter housing with 20-30 micron filter may improve this problem. Run your outside hose into a white bucket and pay attention to any sand, sediment or debris that may settle out of the water after letting the water sit. Suggest letting the pump cycle several times while observing for sediment.If substantial sediment is seen,I would suggest flushing the well for several hours (just let the hose run, for several hours).
