    I'm a new customer, so this is my first purchase of Culligan products. I chose Culligan because of their reputation in the water conditioning/treatment industry. Their representatives were courteous, professional, and responsive. Their Field Service and Installation Technician, Ron **, was outstanding. He was punctual, courteous, and efficient. He knows his products, explains how they work, and provided me with the information I need to operate the equipment I purchased.

    Culligan offer great product and excellent service. I installed water softener and water filtration system in my house in June, 2026. Very happy with the softener system but not satisfied with the water RO system. The salesman quoted me with the AC30 system with over price and old technology. I called to exchange and the sales manager upgraded it to a better system with same price. Technician showed up and installed as scheduled with excellent knowledge and very helpful. It took a little time effort to get a exchange but after all, it's worth it. In conclusion, I highly recommend Culligan. It's little more expensive than other brand, but it's reliable and great tech support. Give a A plus to sale man and tech man.

      I have been a customer of Hall's Culligan since we moved to Kansas. A lot of years to say the least. The water is the best, so refreshing, but better yet is the customer service I have received over the years. Everyone answering the phones has been very helpful, very polite and patient and our newest "Culligan Man" is the best!! He has really went above and beyond delivering our water and making sure we are very well taken care of. He has been a trooper, and more helpful than he knows, especially while my husband was recovering from heart surgery. He's also great with our dog Mr. Wilson and really deserves some recognition. So I am here to give it. These are just some of the reasons I remain a loyal Hall's Culligan customer.

      We started by renting a water cooler and having water delivery when renting an apartment. Culligan has always provided the highest quality products and service at a very reasonable price. Now that we are in our own home, having a Culligan water softening system and filter system has been an amazing and wonderful experience. Everyone we have worked with has been knowledgeable and kind. Culligan products speak for themselves, but I would also be happy to shout it from the rooftops!

      I’m really happy with Culligan’s water delivery service! Probably one of the best investments for my family. Much more convenient than refilling giant heavy jugs at the grocery store, Stephen, our delivery guy, brings the bottles right up to our porch and neatly stacks them in our storage rack and takes back our empties in one trip per month. Environmentally less wasteful than the cases of water we used to get. Not to mention, the greatest benefit is that my kids actually drink water much more than my husband and I ever did growing up!

      Culligan has been the provider for the filter maintenance for five years. This experience is to warn current Culligan customers and potential new ones. Culligan West Palm Beach was requested to do a routine filter change. I was not informed of a new fee, trip charge, of $177.80. After emailing Culligan, this is the response: "We have had to increase our rates because our costs have increased. The RO membrane will not need to be replaced for at least 3 years." This is not acceptable because you are not provided an option of declining Culligan and using another service.

      This is the absolute worst company ever with horrible customer service. My newly built home had a water well dug and installed by them. I initially had 30 pounds of pressure and a very weak shower water flow. They came out after 2 calls and a complaint and replaced my pressure valve with a stronger one that I bought because they said they didn't have anything other than what was installed. The next day, the new water pressure caused a pump head pipe to separate and thousands of gallons flowed in the garage causing damage to many items I had in the garage. They came out again and re-installed the same pump head pipe with better glue then promptly started sending me 300 dollar bills for the work which they had originally done for the builder.

      Audacious and rude is the best description I can give them. More on that re-installed the pipe. "These things happen" he just said ignoring the 2000 dollar damage their installation caused. STAY AWAY from these people. They are crooks and thieves and deserve to go out of business. The sooner the better.

      Less than 2-year-old system stopped working. Over $7000 to get this new system. Response from Culligan of Houston is that they have to collect prepaid labor of $156 for the first 30 mins and $39/ 15 mins after that to even diagnose. Rude and horrible customer service. Stay away from Culligan. There are better and cheaper options available.

      They had a tech come out and explain how the system works and said that it would have an ability to connect to an app and sounded neat. Post install I asked how to connect to the app and they said my unit was a non-WiFi unit which I wasn’t even told was an option so it felt like a major bait and switch. Not saying I don’t want the unit because the water in my area is not optimal…I just think they should make you aware of the exact features your unit will have instead of labeling features other units have that mine doesn’t. It leaves me feeling swindled.

      This company is the worst in my area. We call to schedule routine maintenance for our system. And they never show up for our appointment this has happened several times now. I have never experienced worse customer service! My wife took time out to be home for our appointment and spent the entire day waiting for the service tech to show up. She called several times to see when they would arrive. She was told they were on a call that was taking longer than expected and that they would be there as soon as they finished, they never showed up!!!! This has happened on several occasions! Completely unacceptable. We live in Upstate New York.

This Saturday we woke up to our entire basement, garage, and laundry room flooded because the Culligan water filtration had a major leak.

      The image of Culligan is overrated. I have a huge list of bad experiences with them. Where do you want to start? I paid for two systems - one for my office and one for my home $20,000.00 DLLS because there is no system like theirs! I was without a system for a while and wanted to make sure I will get the best. Well I was an easy target! I paid for it and the headaches started. They made a mess in the installation like cutting wires from the sprinkler system, not fixing it till this day. My NEW system at home is not working. Their responses are SUPER unprofessional. NO IDEA what I did wrong to them but I was basically robbed!! Don't buy from them. There are so many other companies with good systems and for a lot less!! I have all the e mails and communication to prove it.. I really don't have time to deal with CROOKS!!

      When we purchased our system a few years ago the salesperson explained that we could have salt delivered and installed. We used this service, but always found it difficult for two reasons - scheduling depends on when someone is in our area, which doesn't seem to happen often, and no time window can be given until the morning of the delivery day. This had resulted in my scheduling weeks out, and having to keep the entire delivery day open. Last month, I scheduled a delivery date a month out.

      A week before the scheduled delivery I received a text that delivery would be three days earlier. There was no explanation, no request if this was okay with me, no other communication. When I called, I was told that their schedule changed. I explained that I could not be available on the new date until after 11 a.m., but the rep said that she could not guarantee a time. So, I made arrangements to wait on the new date. They did not show. I consider this disrespectful, rude and poor customer service. I will not be using Culligan again.

      I purchased a Culligan Reverse Osmosis System in May of 2025. Let me be clear, the technician was very professional. My experience is specifically related to their corporate maintenance and labor costs. Last week, I scheduled my first annual service call to replace the Reverse Osmosis system’s filters. During this visit, the technician installed the Culligan 01041878 Aquasential Filter Kit (Pre, Post & Total Defense Stages 1, 3, and 4). The total cost of this service was $706.00, including $480 for the filter kit, $172 for labor, plus tax.

      I am writing to express my serious concern regarding these costs. Quite frankly, this pricing is excessive and difficult to justify. Considering that I paid approximately $2,600 for the entire system just last year, the ongoing maintenance expenses at this rate are unreasonable. Within a relatively short period of time, the cumulative cost of filter replacements and service could equal or exceed the original purchase price of the system itself.

      As a loyal customer, I expected Culligan to provide not only a quality product but also fair and sustainable maintenance pricing. These charges do not reflect that expectation and raise concerns about long-term affordability for your customers. I strongly urge Culligan to reevaluate its pricing structure for replacement parts and service. Customers should not feel penalized for maintaining the very systems your company sells. Transparent, reasonable, and customer-focused pricing would go a long way in maintaining trust and loyalty. I would appreciate a response addressing these concerns, as well as any options you may offer to reduce ongoing maintenance costs for customers like myself.

      My experience with Ginny **, out of the Port St. Lucie Florida office with Culligan was beyond the best experience I have received since I got to the state of Florida. I have had Culligan in in the past three homes, two of which was in Arizona, their service, the professionalism from sales person to Installer to office personnel, all outstanding but a special thanks to my sales girl Ginny **. She went beyond what people normally do. She wanted to ensure that I had the best experience possible with the installation with giving me information on how to set up the unit. She went beyond. She was on call practically 24 seven because she was dealing with an 80 year-old here so I had lots and lots of questions!

      I fully recommend Culligan water filter/softener to anyone that’s interested, you’re pay a little bit more but you get what you pay for in this world. They are a great company that has been around for many, many years and from what I could see now with this latest experience, be around for a lot more. I like to add additional thanks to my installers. They simple said we are here to install your equipment they ask question and ask me what I would preferred. The one young man responded wherever you want as to place it is where we put it! It was more work for them but they did it and an awesome job they did!! Neat and clean.

If you want to be treated poorly, and charged for transportation fees for replacement of cooler that STOPPED working. Culligan also raised their prices, not notifying the consumer. I called to inquire why my bill was higher. They informed me that they are not obligated to notify customers. Just because they are not obligated to inform the customer, does not mean that its ok to do. Very unimpressed. Very lackluster.

      Chris from Culligan Dayton provided our service call today for our Culligan well water arsenic filter. After many months of zero As, our arsenic checks showed the levels slowly creeping up. Chris, in consulting with his company, set a more frequent back flush. And he has ordered more medium, which when replaced last year promptly brought us back down to zero (our original pre-treatment levels were 56-80 ppb). Our back up point of use RO filters keep us safe through possible fluctuations, but Culligan allows us to keep our high volume well safe for all uses. We trust Chris and Culligan to continue to manage our well water. We fully understand that the wells in Greene County and Southwest Ohio are prone to naturally high arsenic (both As 5 &3) from the makeup of the bedrock.

      By the worst customer service and communication I’ve ever experienced. They are so fast to respond when you are interested in the system. From the time you buy it nothing but poor communication and customer service. No one knows what is going on. Plus given 3 months of service free then every month get a bill then have to call and explain every month. Also the cost is ridiculous and a lot of hidden aspects. We were told we would get 6 months no payments interest free. Well nope. That didn’t happen. This is the most expensive and worst company I’ve ever done business with.

      I paid $8800 for a Culligan water softener, ox3 sulfur filter, and ox5 iron filter back in mid-2022. They gave me a year of Platinum Care and then began charging me $103 every month. What did I get for my $1236/year? A bag of salt delivered every 2 months. Most times they didn't even out the salt in the brine tank. They just dumped it in my yard and left. Worst part is that I was at home and they didn't call, email, text, or knock. They obviously didn't want to do even the slightest amount of work. Then there was a string of tornadoes in January 2024 and one of them damaged my system. Culligan charged me for everything!

      In 2025, I cancelled Platinum Care. In total, I paid them $103/mo for 30 months. That's $3090 and received 15 bags of salt and nothing more for all that cost. They literally did no other work.

      Culligan author review by Greg Chick

      Culligan got its start in 1936 and is now the leader in home water delivery as well as in-home, commercial and industrial water filtration and treatment services. It is different than most water delivery services because it doesn’t make or bottle the water it delivers; instead, Culligan specializes in water treatment systems and softeners. Water delivery services from Culligan start at $9.99 per month.

      • Flexible schedules: You can set up a customized delivery schedule and arrange for supplemental deliveries if you need more water during specific months. You can also pause deliveries if you are on vacation.

      • Types of water: You can choose from several types of bottled water including water treated by reverse osmosis and filtered, distilled, spring and mineral water.

      • Coolers: Culligan requires you to buy or rent a Culligan cooler to use with your water jugs rather than using your own, but the cost of rental is included in the subscription plan. They will bring your cooler and install it when your plan begins.

      • Culligan Man: Culligan assigns an account representative called a Culligan Man to every customer. He or she will help you select the plan that fits your needs and help arrange a convenient delivery schedule.

      • 30-day guarantee: If you’re unsatisfied with your Culligan product or service within 30 days of your purchase, they’ll pick up the product and refund your money.

      • Specialty testing: The company is equipped for specialty water testing, which may be needed should a customer have access to a well or non-municipal water source.
