Yes you should be able to replace this yourself and yes you should be able to use filters from other manufactures. Just check rating on the filter for listing of applications. To change the filter there should be a bypass valve on water line to filter. You normally push a button that routes water around the filter. There should be a spanner wrench to grasp casing of filter housing to loosen it.There also should be a small button on top of the filter housing to push down to relieve pressure to make it easier to remove filter housing.
I would make sure that you can get the right filter before doing anything. If you have what you need than bypass or shut water supply off,remove filter housing ,install new filter.Clean o-ring seals and put light coating of petrolem jelly on o-rings. Reassemble and tighten snugly.Turn water back on and open bypass,check for leaks and tighten a little more if needed. Thank you.
It depends on how old it is. If it has a center opening tank then yes you can rebed it yourself. If it has the older style tank with an inlet and outlet then NO. This would need to be done by Culligan dealer. This system uses Centaur carbon and is available on-line. You need 1.5 cu ft of Centaur.
Make sure you clean the outlet manifold when rebuilding also. You would also want to replace gravel bedding.
