Culligan

The employees of the Lexington, KY division came into my house to install a water softener. Little did I know that they had other intentions. They stole a RIFLE and several other items from my home! I called the Store manager who basically called me a liar! I filed a police report and the employee was arrested! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They will steal from you and then deny it!!! Calling the Corporate headquarters FOUR times and still no response! Apparently they don't care if you are victimized either! I will NEVER use Culligan and do not recommend them! Use them if you don't want your valuables!

I have purchased Culligan water filters in the past and no issues whatsoever. However recently the filter under the sink busted (at the bottom of the filter) and flooded my cabinet, my kitchen, half bath and laundry room. In the past if the filter was "full" it would just stop putting water thru the spigot. This time was different. Luckily for us it happened in the morning early and we were able to get the water up quickly. We had just came back from a week long vacation, had it happened at that time it would have been catastrophic. Very, very disappointed and will not purchasing Culligan products in the future.

Been with Culligan for years. When hurricane Irma came right over my house it destroyed the eq. They not only wanted me to pay $800.00 for the unit but also rent on the unit for months till they picked it up without notice of that bill of over $1,400.00... put me in credit bureau... Not only $800.00 for unit but $600.00 for eq. that couldn't be used... and they took their time to pick up. I paid over $ 10.000 on rental eq. over the years and because of an ACT OF GOD... they were the rudest people to ever deal with. Never use this company. Wendy ** "Really even charged me for Eq. that couldn't be use due to Hurricane... UNREAL.

I live in Cazenovia, NY. I moved into a house that already had a Culligan water softening system installed. I called Culligan from Endicott, NY to service it. The guy came and said it was all good to go. He also sold me $63 of salt and charged a total of $279. After he left, the water pressure was lower. I was confused initially but then when I did the bypass to get water directly, the water pressure became fine. I called Culligan back to help fix the problem. They are neither fixing the problem nor refunding any of the money I paid them. And I am stuck having paid $279 for zero benefit. I am just writing this review so that other people do not waste their money like me.

We moved to Ohio 4 years ago and had never dealt with water softeners before. There was already a Culligan system in the home (rented) and so we continued with them for convenience sake. We pay $115 per month for a rental softener system and a bimonthly salt delivery. In early March of 2017, our Culligan man came to deliver the 10 bags salt. He carried them through to our tank and stacked them one on top of the other. I did not follow him back to the tank and did not see this precariously tilting tower of bags.

In less than 2 year the unit (Culligan Water Softener HE) stopped softening the water. We did not realized that since we have no sensors to let us know that the water was not soft. After a while, the two of us felt that the water was not soft. Today, the service man (who did a great job by first trying to fix the old flow meter), replaced the flow meter and charged us over $350 ($133 service call/labor + $195 for the flow meter + $5 Service fee). I would NOT recommend Culligan to anyone!

After ready numerous reviews about getting a Culligan water system installed, I'm stand-offish about having them. I will be doing more research about hard water and may install myself. I've had systems in the past but not Culligan and have not had one problem. Don't want monthly payments would purchase out-right and purchase salt or potassium (which is what I had) myself. Any recommendations?

I had the whole house filter w/softener and drinking water system installed. Within two days, I had to cut off the "softener" because the water was too salty. What is even sadder is that the "drinking" water did not remove the salt and to me, it was undrinkable. I called the representative to let him know that I wanted it removed. At the time, I was just going to have the whole house filter removed but due to the representative, I felt it was best to remove the entire system. He seem to consider it a joke wanting it removed and told me that he would call me back the following morning, Tuesday.

On the 4th of April 2018 a Culligan Aqua-Cleer unit was install in our home. We have been loyal customers of Culligan for 38 years (water softeners and reverse osmosis). We reported the unit not being functioning and on the 10th of May 2018, a technician came to observe that the control box was the issue. It was said that on 15th of May the office would call to set up a time and date for the installation of the new box... Until the 4th of June, it was pure silence on Culligan part. Meanwhile we made the decision that enough was enough and that their negligence of not establishing communication was unacceptable. I called and got Culligan out of their torpor and demanded removal of the unit.

There are many choices in water filtration - you can find reputable LOCAL installers in any area. Consider that the a system is "installed" and becomes part of the home plumbing. Now, consider that you may wish to move - expected or unexpected - and you still owe on your water filtration system. Imagine further that the company you chose DOES NOT allow for transferring the balance. OUCH! Welcome to the world of the Culligan customer.

I bought a Culligan whole house water filter. There were no threads in the unit to mount the bracket. I returned it, and bought an under sink water filter. After installing the unit, I turned on the water supply, and the pressure relief valve leaked profusely. This is two defective units in a row I've gotten from Culligan through Amazon.com.

System was installed with wrong settings. My brand new faucets, tile and shower doors are stained. They came to reset the equipment but stains don't come off. They pulled the equipment and made no effort to correct problem, other than to say I have defective faucets. This was Romero who came to my house to try to remove stains. So I told him how can he explain the stained shower doors and tile? Are they defective too. No calls or efforts to right the problem. These people are a total rip off. How can they keep a company afloat with so many angry customers? I welcome suggestions and phone numbers. This is a nightmare.

I had the salesman come to my house and we talked about what I was spending in bottle water and how by purchasing the system I would be cheaper in the long run to get an RO system and I would not have to mess with bottles anymore. The only truth was about the bottles. He told me the filters should last about a year and they would be about 150 annually. He did not add that every other year it would be over $400. I think you should get an RO system but do not buy from Culligan. Find a system that you can buy the replacement cartridges online from multiple vendors. Otherwise Culligan will rip you off for the price of them. Similar cartridges I have found online are almost half the cost and filtration is very similar.

I wanted to start by saying that I have never had a soft water system in my life. I have no knowledge of what artificially softened water is or how it worked, but I learned the hard way very quickly. I relied heavily on Culligan's "expertise" or lack thereof, and we paid a heavy price for it. The first thing that they did, was hook up our entire house to the softener system. I found out recently that our kitchen faucet should not have been attached to this system; had they not done this, there would have been no problems. They assured us that the water was ok for us to drink, and that it would be ok for our fish. One of our 4 winter koi tanks is in our dining room, we have to do their water changes from our kitchen sink. The first time we did a water change, our fish started flashing and becoming visibly irritated the next day. Not realizing that the water was the problem, we did several more water changes, only accelerating their conditions.

In the past three years I have called Culligan because my water softener has not been working properly. Each repair service has cost me 135 dollars plus tax. Each service has lasted about 15 minutes because of a 1.25 dollar screen which rots away. This seems to be excessive and Culligan refuses to work with you on the price. Being ripped off and nobody cares.

My softener needs a service call. Been ten years. Here in Hibbing the Culligan man wants 114.00 just to walk in my house. Really. I will never be able to afford that. We are on disability. Thank you. But no thanks.

Paid 3300. Cash for our water softener system, total nightmare with everything that was installed. for 2 weeks the water tasted horrible, tech kept saying that our water was good, after several weeks the last tech stated that the tank that the filter held had never been sanitized. Then the man that put in the drain field for the salt wore flipflops to dig the drain field, after a couple of months the salt leaked and to this day I cannot grow grass on the side of my house due to the salt that leaked. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. Many more problems than this. Just not enough room to write it all down. I asked the company to just come and take out the system and they refused. It cost me another 250 for a plumber to come and take it out. I would NEVER refer anyone to this company.

I signed a contract in March of 2017 and my first bill was much higher than quoted. My bills change every time and I see loads of charges that was not made clear to me at my initial sales meeting. Now on top of the billing my water looks horrible. I do not trust the water enough to drink. I have the full in home system from the intake of my well to the under cabinet filtration system at kitchen sink. Does anyone know how I can get out of this crazy contract without being liable for further payments?

My family has been receiving Culligan spring water for 3 years. We had a dispenser with 6 bottles of water delivered monthly. About 3 or 4 months ago the water quality deteriorated. It smelled strongly and tasted like chlorine. When I called the local delivery office the woman asked if I wanted to try sodium free and didn't seem too concerned about my experience. I complied but cut my order in half to just 3 bottles per month and she said I would get an extra free bottle. They ended up delivering my original 6 bottle order once again with no difference in water quality. I called back and cancelled my service with them. Something is definitely going on with their water quality and should be inspected to ensure customers are chatting what they are paying for. This product is definitely not spring water!

We purchased a new water softener from Culligan in Feb 2016. Even though Culligan is more expensive we chose them expecting on the spot service. Within the first year there was a problem that required service. They responded in a timely manner and fixed the problem for free. Now in the second year we again have another problem. I think it's the same error code. Other than the lack of reliability, my main complaint is that the local dealer cannot schedule a repair for over a week. Obviously that is not good customer service.

I tried one of these systems. We constantly had problems with it. It never worked properly and we asked that the unit be removed prior to putting our property up for sale, in part to help it show better. Though Kaats did make a service call it never corrected the improper initial installation nor the problem. To add insult to injury, I'm being held to an early payoff penalty for sending back an absolutely useless system.

Called for service, I have had the system for 8 years, two man came out, for a simple o-ring changing because of a leak. They drained all the i-non resin out of the system because of poor workmanship. They did not replace the tubing in the tank at the right depth, causing the resin to drain out onto ground, call, came back wanted $600.00 to replace resin. After some back and forth, they came out again and fix the system, but after a time water was bad the cycle timer was not working, and they sent me a bill for $325.00 for parts and service, and I had bought the new resin myself. I have sent the company emails and called and talked to their parent company service people, and today no call by dealer. THIS IS A SECOND RATE COMPANY AT BEST, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THEM. I AM GOING TO REPLACE MY SYSTEM WITH ONE THAT WORKS... This dealer is in Brownwood Texas.

My family moved into a new home with a well system. I contacted Culligan to price a water treatment system thinking they are a very well known and reputable company. We were immediately contacted by a salesman in the Tampa office. The salesman Lee initially came the wrong day and then the wrong time the next day but that was no issue for us. The presentation was good and the salesman presented himself well. He explained he had worked for Culligan for over 20 hours, this was his only job and he presented himself very knowledgeable. My husband and I decided we would get the system although it did appear to be quite expensive.

This is the second time Mr. ** was at my residence. Without going into the problems, I found Mr. ** to be KNOWLEDGEABLE, PERSONABLE and a Credit to the Culligan Co. I'm a homeowner, who owns your equipment, and over the years I found other technicians not up to par with Mr. **!!!

Very bad service. Have had Culligan Water Service for approximately 4 years and seldom receive water tank on scheduled date. Have to call nearly every month to remind them that I have paid but not getting what I have paid for. If there was anywhere else to get soft water service I would never do business with Culligan.

Completed a total home redo. Due to failed furnace/frozen pipes flooding... the final project, putting in water filtration system. Decided on Culligan of BattleCreek/Kalamazoo MI... install on June 30, 2017. Home flooded within the week (due to faulty Culligan valve per Dave/Jeff from Culligan). Had to fight with gm to have ServiceMaster come to property to find "where the water" went. Asked for $324. compensation? 1/4 of contract... which as of today denied. Went to International Culligan consumer affairs who shouted out to David **, owner of both Culligans and 48 hours later no response. Do not, I repeat, do not buy from this company. Gordons/Kinetico system better.

I have been a Culligan customer for a little over 5 months. Since the beginning of my contract, there were problems. I was told that my tanks would be able to be changed on the weekend. When no one showed up to change them. I found out the information I was given was not true. After that date, none of my exchanges were done at the scheduled time if the representative even showed up. I was never given a courtesy call to inform me that they were unable to come.

I have had a Culligan softener and a reverse osmosis drinking water system installed at my last two homes. As of 2017 I've had a total of 27 years of experience with the company and their products. I've never had a significant problem with the company or its products. At my older home the salesman explained that their monthly service is not something I need. It meets the needs of seniors and others who find it inconvenient to purchase and transport the heavy salt bags necessary to softener operation. I've had each system maintained every year or two, costing $100-200. In 27 years, the software has failed once. It cost something over $100 to return it to service.

Purchased a FM-15 faucet-mount water filter, after having HORRIBLE experience with crappy PUR filters. The Culligan filter assembly is simple to mount, last a long time, and are equally as easy to replace the filters. These filters are durable, and do not fall apart like PUR filters. I would highly recommend this product... and the water tastes great.

I purchased a whole house water filtration system. We paid close $5000. It keeps breaking down. We keep having to pay $200 or more for repairs. Even the under the sink filtration I noticed that the filters are not factory flushed. And when we attempted to change the cartilages ourself we noticed gallons of water would come up black. Even after ditching 3-4 full tank. For filters that costs close to $250 I think Culligan should do some research. I don't trust what I have been drinking so far. Most likely carbon. I am going to ditch all of their system, I don't trust the quality. Wish I had read all the reviews before.
