Water Softener FAQS
What does a water softener do?
Water softeners work through basic chemistry. The main tank of water softener is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Meanwhile, hard water is caused by high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged molecules. As hard water pumps through a water softener, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water.
Do I need a water softener?
If you’re dealing with the unfavorable effects of hard water — like dry skin and hair, limescale buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap scum on shower walls or too much wear and tear on your water-using appliances — you may need a water softener. That said, remember that not all systems were created equal. With Culligan, you’ll get a full-service partner, quality products with durability and an established brand you can trust.
How does my water softener get installed?
Culligan offers a full-service installation to make getting started with your new system even easier. Your trained Culligan water expert will expertly connect your water softening system to the water supply, the drain and the salt-filled brine tank, and you’ll be all set. The average installation takes about 2-4 hours.
