So grateful to have found Culligan for our clean drinking water needs. Alex and Clay were absolutely amazing for our install and really wet above and beyond. Outstanding service like we received is so hard to find, and I am very appreciative! You all rock and thank you again for everything!!
Super Easy,Super quick..No mess.Chris was great!!. Wes was great!!.Walked me through everything thoroughly.If you're in the market,I would highly recommend Culligan..
My husband grew up with a Culligan system and was always happy so we decided to check into here. We also contacted a few competitors to have comparisons. Culligan (Wes was our sales rep) was hands down the BEST. Culligan's prices were absolutely competitive and Wes was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We look forward to becoming part of the Culligan family.
Arden was a breath of fresh air. He was not aggressive gave me the facts and allowed me to make my own decision.
They came when promised, or earlier. Were so nice and helpful. I cannot wait to take a bath that doesn't smell like chlorine!The installer, Alex was great and Matt, my sales guy was very good.Unless something doesn't work, im very happy!
The service was excellent prices a little bit high on their filters replacements, but the service tech was very good
Marcus Dwaileebe was great. He just came out to set up the app for my water system while I was at work. He walked my son through the process and got a thumbs up from my son.
We are very happy with your Culligan representative who was ultra professional, knowledgable and articulate. Presented several water conditioner products all of which have value. Provided us with great advice and choices with benefits of each. No sales pressure or "tactics". Nice!
They go the extra mile for u. Rob was very good explaining everything we asked. They stand behind thier products an installs.
I was having some issues with my mulligan water filter not working. Brandon came and was able to figure out the problem and correct it in minutes.He is also very polite and professional.
Prompt professional and polite! They resolved my issue and were great 👍
Arden Garver was incredibly professional and knew his business inside and out. Arden contacted me a couple of days before our appointment to confirm and the texted when he was 2 hours before arriving and again 30 minutes before our appointment. He knew the products very well and explained them in such a way that a layman (like me) could fully understand. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience with Arden Garver.
Wes Reynolds came to our house to discuss a 2 in 1 water softener / filtration system. He was on time ,very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the System. I would highly recommend Culligan and Wes for this. Thank You Wes.
Arden did a great job clearly explaining the current water parameters and made product recommendations exactly what we would need. He made the entire purchase process very seamless and scheduled the install same week. Alex who did the installation is very knowledgable and answered all my queries on the product operation, maintenance tasks, warranty info etc., patiently. Also, he made sure all the debris and water spills from the work are cleaned and removed. Very professional.
Arden is an excellent representative who is knowledgeable and honest, and shares full transparency about products, costs, benefits and payment options. Nothing is complicated or confusing about his presentation. Our family has requested him now twice and we will refer him out whenever possible. Excellent care and expertise!
Very effective work
Jack was very knowledgeable,friendly and outgoing.couldn’t have asked for better service.thanks. WEH
Matthew came and did an outstanding job, he was very knowledgeable about the water softener and gave me valuable information. I would recommend Matthew to service anyone in need of a water softener or any water filtration system.
Jack T has taken care of us quite a few times over the past few years. Very knowledgeable on our older Culligan system. He makes it easy and convenient for us to schedule routine check ups in maintenance. Absolutely would recommend!
The whole process was super easy… we got the sink reverse osmosis water filtration system with remineralization with a hookup for our refrigerator as well. From Wes coming out and walking me through products and then quickly getting us scheduled for installation it has been so easy. Logan our installer was knowledgeable and quick to get the job done. Highly recommend.
Technician Rob, very knowledgeable about their water filter system. Know's all the latest technology and shares information. A very dependable and cooperative company.
The technician was knowledgeable and professional, arrived on time and explained everything in details, as you can see the service calls are not cheap from other reviews but I guess you get what you pay for.
We had our unit reinstalled today from our previous home. Alex was very helpful and professional. We had some strange coincidence with our water shutting off (nothing to do with Culligan) but Alex helped by rechecking the unit and install and calling the water company. He went above and beyond today. Appreciate his efforts in helping us!
Wesley Reynolds made the buying process easy and stress-free, explaining all our options clearly. Logan Taylor arrived right on time for installation, worked quickly, and explained everything in detail. Both were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond – highly recommend the Culligan team!
Logan was fantastic! After a power outage, our Culligan filtration system started a regeneration cycle during the day, which usually happens around 2 a.m., so I had no idea what was going on. Logan came out promptly, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had everything fixed in no time. He was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Great service!
Jack was great. Prompt, knowledgeable
Wes with Culligan was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Have known about Culligan for years and always trusted their products. Very excited to purchase a whole house filtration system and Osmosis drinking water system from Wes.Update: Logan came and installed the new filtration system today. Again very knowledgeable and great installation skills! He actually made a complex install look easy. He put in the whole house filtration system; installed the OSMOSIS System under the sink for drinking water, and ran a line from it to our refrigerator for the ice maker. Logan then explained everything to my wife and I about all he installed. Awesome experience, can’t recommend Culligan enough!
Professional, personal, knowledgeable.
Wes is very prompt in communication and explaining options for the service and equipment we were interested in. Very polite, courteous, and great counseling us. Great representative for Culligan.
Alex did a wonderful job, he’s patient and professional. He explained the workings of the RO and UV lights systems expertly. Much appreciated! Thanks for helping us have clean and safe drinking water.
My initial meeting with Culligan was great! Very enlightening and they clearly explained all our options.
Logan was very professional. He worked cleanly and efficiently.
Alex found the issue with our softener as soon as he arrived. Fixed the issue in about 5 minutes. Alex was very friendly. Culligan was almost kind enough to get us an appointment time very quickly since we had a leak in our system.
Excellent service, answered all our questions and helped figure out some of the why on our water situation.
Marcus was very knowledgeable and precise while explaining what he was changing out with my filters and any recommendations. Would highly recommend.
Wes was very friendly and knowledgeable about the different packages and the water in the area. I had a barrage of questions and he answered them all right away. I walked away feeling confident in service that would be provided. I do think the charge every 3 years is a little high but overall seems to be a set of great products. The good thing was I didn’t feel like was being sold, manipulated, or tricked into buying anything.
Rob and Jack were so friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for your professionalism!

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is because your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

A rotten-egg smell in your water may be strongest right after turning the water on, as heat forces the gas out of the water and into the air
H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

How Do You Fix It?

Here at Culligan, you can find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water.

The first step we have to take is to test your water, so we can be sure of the real cause of the rotten-egg smell.

Fortunately, here at Culligan we offer this service free. One of our water experts will come to your home to test the water (you can’t send it away to a laboratory because H2S is a gas and could dissipate during transport) and let you know the source of your rotten-egg smell. You’re under no obligation whatsoever. 

Culligan water treatment systems can completely remove the rotten-egg smell from your water
