We have always gotten good service from Culligan
Arrived on time, did a good job. Minor issue on the original visit, came back the next day, and took care of it. Very pleased with their service.
I've had Culligan filtered water at my home for the past 28 years straight, and I could not be more pleased with Culligan's services. Also, the water tastes fantastic!!
We just had the system installed and are pleased with it. James and his team communicated with us constantly to see where we were in our renovation process and never pushed us. Took a bit longer than expected to install but we like the water and how clear our ice is becoming!
Culligan technicians are always professional and courteous. The issue was fixed quickly. Thank you!
We love our friends at Culligan Water. Their service is outstanding and at our business locations we have them service our water stations. Our customers will frequently tell us how amazing our water tastes. Give them a call and see what they can do for you!
Wonderful service. Very quick response when I had an issue. The technician was pleasant, professional, and respectful. He fixed my issue completely and did not leave a mess. Perfect!
Braden was great. He even tolerated my Jack Russell Terrier. She was all over him, sniffing him, and he gave her head and ear scratches.
Can not say enough about Wes and his staff. While I did not use them to get my well water system to a drinkable state Wes went miles above expectations on getting me quotes for filter media that they did not even install. These folks are truly in the business of helping others. Less than 10 minutes after hours and I get replies to my emails. In need of their services this is a class act! Bob Clever.
Always responds quickly and does good work. Thank you

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
