Does a water softener remove iron?

Traditionally, a water softener will just remove hardness minerals from your water. However, this water softener with iron filtration softens your water while also reducing the amount of iron, providing both filtration and water softening.

How do I know if I have iron in my water?

There are certain signs that your water may have iron in it, such as rust-like stains on showers, tubs and sinks or a metallic taste. When you schedule a free water consultation with Culligan, your water expert will test your water and can advise whether your home would benefit from a water softener for iron filtration.

Can a single water conditioner effectively soften water, remove iron, and eliminate sulfur odors?

Yes, the HE Softener-Cleer Home Water Conditioner is one of the best water softeners for well water with iron and sulfur, making it a great solution for those who have noticed limescale buildup, a rotten-egg smell and rust stains around faucets or water-using appliances.

What size or capacity water conditioner do I need for my home's water usage and the levels of iron and sulfur in my water?

Water softeners come in various sizes, and making sure that you have the right size for your home is important. Getting the right size will allow you to make sure that you can soften your water sufficiently without losing efficiency and wasting extra water and salt by regenerating too often. The best way to accurately size your water softener is to work directly with a Culligan water expert to test your water, assess your flow rate and determine how much water your household uses on a regular basis. Generally speaking, harder water, higher water consumption and a greater number of taps running simultaneously mean that you’ll need a larger water softener. You don’t want to overshoot, though. Regular regeneration is also still required for optimal performance. Plus, larger units tend to cost more, meaning that purchasing an oversized softener might result in spending more money upfront than is necessary.

Does the HE Softener-Cleer also remove other impurities or contaminants from the water?

The Culligan HE Softener-Cleer Plus is one of the best water softeners for well water with iron and sulfur. If you’re looking to address other contaminants throughout your whole home, check out the Culligan whole home filtration systems. Or, if you want better-tasting, cleaner water on tap, explore the Culligan drinking water filtration systems.

What is the lifespan of the HE Softener-Cleer Water Conditioner?

We design products that are built to last. Our systems have been tested against rigorous standards and have industry-leading warranties. The lifespan of your system can be impacted by usage, maintenance and water conditions, but you can expect your softener to last for many years. Periodic cleaning and maintenance will keep your water conditioner operating at peak efficiency.

Can I still use untreated water for outdoor tasks, like gardening or lawn watering, while using the system indoors?

Yes, you can easily save your treated water by putting your well water softener in bypass for any uses that don’t benefit from soft water. With the Culligan Connect App, you can easily put the unit in bypass mode from anywhere, for an all new level of control and convenience.

Are there any water quality testing recommendations to ensure the system is working effectively over time?

Hard water is often noticeable without testing and will appear as staining on bathroom and kitchen surfaces, spotty dishes and dry skin and hair. Similarly, iron will most often present as rust stains. That said, you can ensure your system is always working effectively over time by signing up for a service plan with your local Culligan service team. They’ll visit your home on a regular basis to ensure your softener is performing properly, offering you even greater peace of mind between inspections.

Can I use the HE Softener-Cleer Water Conditioner for well water?

Yes. Hard water is one of the most common problems for well owners. The HE Softener-Cleer can provide all the benefits of water softening for those who get their water from a private well as well as those with municipal water.
