I did read your earlier reply Gary, Thank you...I will work my way through the list, starting with the water test.

My guess is they will now go back to their original diagnosis and tell me I need a rebed for $700 +.

Agreed....selling someone more than they need isn't illegal. There were 2 service calls over a 10 day period, one was $170.00 the other was no charge.

When the system is bypassed the pump runs normally and the pressure increases.

Just goes to show that Culligan is not an honest operation, when the salesman came I told him I wanted what my neighbor had to take the sulfur smell out because he was happy with what he had...he asked if I wanted soft water, I said no..just want the sulfur smell gone...and he sells me this Iron...

I strolled up the road to my neighbors place to see if he has the same system and ask if he'd had any problems. His system isn't even close to what i have....I figured he'd have the same seeing I told the salesman I wanted whatever he had sold him to remove the sulfur smell. He has a softener...

Ok will do....any idea how to get that lead head off?

One thing I just looked up makes me wonder.....I don't have any iron..just hydrogen sulfide, I don't know why I have an Iron Cleer...this is what Culligan said I needed. When I look at the manual for their Sulfur Cleer system it shows the media as 1.5 cu ft CIM ??

It's probably medium to bad, you always smell it using water with when the system is off. Just disturbing water in the toilet bowl you smell it....washing clothes stinks up the the whole laundry room.

I can do that, my guess is it's clear though..yesterday I drained it down a little and opened that little balck canister on top of tank one, there was a screen in there and it was clear. When I turned the pump back on and re opened that ball valve I could hear the water just rush right through...

The system I have I posted a pic of.... I have no idea what media it has, I see the manual says Birm.....but the manual also says the systems removes hydrogen sulfide...and Culligan doesn't offer any info when you call them other to say they'll send a tech out and make sure you are aware it's...

Yes the pump works correctly when I have the system bypassed, it runs as water is being used and I have great pressure, I have it set to 60 lbs. And yes, the water is just trickling through the first tank (tank on the right in the pic)

It sounds pretty much the same at it always has, it's pretty loud....in fact I was putting it on manual recharge and it worked a couple times, but the last few times I still don't have pressure after the backwash. When it was working correctly during regular water use you would hear the water...

I can only bypass both at the same time, here's some pics of what I have.

I have that manual and have read it, that isn't exactly the system I have as in mine is mechanical programing, nor do I have any of the shut off valves they refer to...just ball valves in the lines to the system. In trouble shooting for low presssure it lists ( Plugged aeration inlet diffuser or...
