Hi-Flo®
3e Automatic Water Softener
Introducing
the Most Versatile Water Softener in the Industry
Expandable -
Additional tanks can be easily added. As many as 6 controls may be linked
together allowing for simple, future expansion.
Progressive Flow -
Culligan’s patented feature permits smaller systems to provide greater flow
rates and treatment capacities by taking tanks on-line or off-line based on
system flow rate.
Brine Reclaim -
Optional feature allows system to recycle a portion of regeneration water. The
system not only conserves water, but also makes your water softener more
environmentally friendly.
Electronics -
State-of-the-art 24 VAC solid state electronics allow the controller to be used
as a simple timer or a more complex system integrator. Can be regenerated based
on time or volume. Configuration settings are accessed from a user-friendly
programmable interface.
Diagnostics - The
controller provides sophisticated diagnostics which allows for easy system
analysis.
Wide Range of Capacities
and Flow Rates - Available with capacities ranging from 60,000 grains to
450,000 grains per tank. Peak flow rates from 29 gpm to 100 gpm per tank.
Retrofit Existing Systems
- Our retrofit kits can be used on any existing Fleck® 2850 (1-1/2") valve or
2900 (2") valve. The kits add full MVP™ capabilities to these systems allowing
for the use of features such as progressive flow and brine reclaim.

Features
- 24 Volt MVP™ Controller - Field
programmable with a back-lit LCD display and UL listed 120v/24v transformer.
- Single, Duplex, Triplex, or Quad
Configurations - Hardness removal capacities up to 450,000 grains per tank,
and continuous flow rates up to 75 gpm per tank.
- Regeneration cycle may be initiated by
timeclock any day of the week. Optional flow meter starts cycle after preset
volume of water has been softened.
- Corrosion Resistant Tanks - Made from
fiberglass reinforced polyester. Additional reinforcement from
continuous fiberglass overwrap. Underdrain design maximizes softener’s
capacity, reduces pressure loss.

Culligan’s
MVP™ Designed With The Ease of 24-volt Operation.

Additional
MVP™ Features
- Battery Backup - The optional
battery backup will maintain the time of day for a minimum of 4 weeks using
a 3.6V 1/2AA-lithium type battery as supplied by Culligan.
- Regeneration Start Delay - A user
determined number of hours (up to 9) can be input for the purpose of
increasing time between multiple regeneration initiations.
- Progressive Flow Trip Point - Use
of this patented feature allows multiple tank systems operating with water
meters to be brought online or offline as facility flow demands increase or
decrease.
- 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.
- Segmented Brine Draw/Rinse Cycle -
Brine Reclaim Capability - allows the user to configure the system for brine
reclaim with a minimum of additional valves and/or other types of hardware.
- Auxiliary Input - 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.
- Auxiliary Outputs - Two auxiliary
outputs can be programmed to be active or deactive at any point of the
regeneration process.
Options
- Dubl-Safe™ Brine System - Positive
overfill protection. Automatic refill control is backed up by shutoff float
valve to minimize chance of overflow.
- Patented Progressive Flow - Culligan’s
MVP™ Control can monitor flow demands bringing additional softening tanks
on-line or offline as flows increase or decrease.
- Flow Measuring Devices - are available for
direct connection to the MVP™ controller for volume based regeneration
initiation.
Warranty
Culligan’s Hi-Flo® 3e water
softeners are backed by a limited 1-year warranty against defects in materials,
workmanship, and corrosion. The plastic conditioner tank has a 5-year warranty.
See printed warranty for details.*
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 control the problem.
*See printed warranty for details.
Culligan will provide a copy of the warranty upon request.
