From drinking to cooking and cleaning, water is something you use every day. And while your water may appear clean to the naked eye, you can’t always detect contaminated water by just looking at it.* While some problems surface in the form of foul odors, tastes or residue, others may go unnoticed.

The best approach is to have your water tested by a trusted professional. Your local Culligan Water Expert can conduct an in-home water test at a date and time that’s most convenient to you. Choose from our basic test or our lab test.
A basic consultation is free of charge and can test for levels of hardness, chlorine, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, nitrates, iron, and more. For harder-to-identify water problems, your water also can be sent to our IL EPA-certified lab for in-depth analytical testing. These tests can identify lead, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, copper, bacteria and other contaminants.
