Chances are you’re not a scientist. Thankfully you don’t have to be to determine what may be ailing the water in your home.
Of course, you can just call your Culligan Man for a free water test, and not only get an answer, but also a personalized solution. However, we understand there’s a certain satisfaction in coming to a conclusion on your own.
Before you can make a determination on whether your water is compromised, you’ll need a few scientific instruments – your senses.
That’s right. Sight, taste, smell and touch can sometimes help you determine if there are contaminants in your water. Pretty simple! But don’t be fooled. While water contamination can sometimes be spotted easily, it’ll require the help of your Culligan Man to solve what is actually a complex problem. Luckily we come armed with treatment and filtration systems tailored to your specific needs.
First, let’s see if we can spot the problem.
Quality water should be clear and colorless. If it is clear and colorless, can you smell the problem?
Quality water should be odorless and taste refreshing. But sometimes it’s not that simple. What makes water tricky is that even clear, colorless, odorless and fresh-tasting water may have undetected problems, which is why it’s best to have your water regularly tested.
Thankfully, Culligan has your water experts. Find yours. There is better water ahead.
