I went with Culligan because they told me the smell of sulfur in my water would be fix with their 8000$ system. The smell's still there and when I call them they pretty much said too bad no reimbursement. They also have really bad customer service. I don't recommend for anybody.

Scheduled service twice. No show and no calls. Just blew me off. This is the third time this has happened. Customer rep on phone said just an oversight on the fact no one called. There is no excuse for not calling.

We LOVE our water! Even the cat Loves the water! We got a new pressure tank, water heater, and water softener. The technicians that installed all appliances were GREAT! They answered all our questions and educated us on how the Softener worked. Our salesperson Rick was very helpful and available to us whenever we needed him. The entire team was AWESOME. Thank you very much!

The service was great. They came out, did what they were supposed to do and then we told him we were done. We do our own treatment. But every month they send somebody out and every month we tell him no. We don't want no more services. Wrote him a note through the mail. Call him several times and told him that we've canceled. They said everything's taken care of. Every month is the same routine. Would not recommend them based on the customer service.

We love Culligan Water and our new system! We have worked with both and Jerry ** and Scott ** to assist us in setting things up and they have both been so kind, attentive and helpful. It appears everyone on the staff is! We are grateful for the new system in our house and the care we've received through the process. We will definitely recommend to friends and family!

We have been Culligan customers for 15+ years. Up until the last year, we have very few issues. The past 6 months, I have had MULTIPLE billing issues - the person in Customer Service speaks poor English (strong accent) and has an attitude to go with it. When you call to schedule an appt for service or complain about a billing issue - she claims it is all set but yet the problem keeps happening. I called again last week for a $7.50 'service fee' that I was billed for. They sent out an email 2 weeks ago with a bill for just the service fee - the next day, they sent another email saying 'disregard the email yesterday', they have been having ongoing problems with the new software they use for billing. 2 days later, got the same bill AGAIN - then they took it out of my bank account. I called and got this woman I deal with frequently - I asked to speak with a supervisor. She said she could 'help me'.
I asked her why I can't speak with a supervisor. She refused and said she would help me. Then when I asked her why I am being charged she said she didn't know. I asked AGAIN for a supervisor. We argued for 5 more minutes - she indicated she I was being credited and said the supervisor was 'not in her office' and she would have her call me back. Shockingly, NO ONE EVER CALLED. This is the 3rd time I have called 'Customer Service' demanding to speak with a supervisor and I am not allowed to speak to one and when promised a call back no one ever does. Was supposed to get a salt delivery in August - they called the day of delivery cancelling the delivery and someone will call to reschedule. She didn't know when they would even CALL to reschedule. Culligan came out for a service call due to nonfunctioning RO and main tank wasn't regenerating.
System had run out of salt. RO was replaced after 2 other service calls (and I asked several times for it to be replaced - it was 15 years old!!). Had to call again and asked WHERE IS THE SALT I PREPAY FOR. Scheduled salt delivery for the following week, but we still had to go to Home Depot and buy salt (we pay monthly for salt delivery and system maintenance). No one showed up on the day it was to be delivered. They finally delivered some salt a month late. I asked the Delivery Guy to have his supervisor call me and explain why our deliveries keep getting cancelled or they no show. He said they don't really have a supervisor. I can not say enough bad things about this company, and how unprofessional and frustrating their customer service is. And from what I am reading from many other reviews, their billing practices are corrupt at best.

Get service, make a payment, with 9 to 10 days to spare for deadline, and they sending you a late notice shortly after. To move along you pay it with next delivery dues, a week plus, time to spare and again, another late charge notice sent to you. Crooked and Unsat personnel who love wasting trees. Try applying payments instead of them sitting on your desk for a week, gathering dust.

First off I have been with them for I believe 4 months. I was told yesterday they would pick up my empties because I forgot to leave them out. They did. I was also told my bill was less than 30 days. I asked them what the $12 payment was on my bill. They didn't know. I texted a copy of it. Got a returned call telling me they no-longer want me as a customer. What? My bill was always paid!!! I just wanted to know what the $12 payment was!!!

I have been using Culligan for the last 4 years, the product is good, but customer service worst than any local product especially is Norristown PA location, for sales they are always available but if you want any services to change the water filter then there no response over phone and voice mail. You have to wait for days to get a response from them. Very non-professional approval toward existing customers.

We moved our water business to a different company because of very poor service. Culligan came and picked up the three Water Station we were renting from them. Now months later and after 7 phone calls, they are still billing us for the Water Machine Rentals. We have now given up on Culligan doing the right thing. Poor Delivery, Very poor Customer Service and extremely poor Accounting Services.

I used Culligan for about a year. I stopped using them and bill was only around $20 a month. I told them I was no longer going to be using their services in 2022. Now I received a collection bill on $353 that I never even knew about! They said I racked up finance charges, but wasn't even receiving water because I stopped it, so be a I didn't want their services anymore. They still was charging me without me knowing. Be careful I would look elsewhere!

We purchased a Hans RO, whole house reverse osmosis system, by Culligan. We've had it less than 2 years. It's still under warranty but we cannot get them to service the unit. For 3 months now they've claimed they can't get parts. The unit leaks, has low water pressure, and is down to less than 50% efficiency. I've called and emailed the local dealer as well as corporate. All I'm getting are crickets. After spending nearly $20,000 on a water system I would expect better service than this. Be careful if you purchase one of these units from Culligan

I inquired Culligan concerning a water softener and reverse osmosis filter systems. My wife and I are advancing in age so it's more difficult to service a water softener. The service plan was advertised as salt supplied and placed in the salt tank. The "technician" would inspect the system to ensure it was operating properly when adding the salt. Three deliveries have been made with no salt added to the system. The salt has been dropped at different points including the front porch today. I know the delivery date but not the time. Be very aware if you are told buying salt from Culligan is worry free and you are a valued customer. The filter system leaked after installation, but the technician couldn't locate it. I determined the location of the leak and recalled the technician to accomplish the repair. Inspect the installation to ensure nothing leaks. Being a valued Culligan customer is filled with frustration.

The brand Culligan Water is widely known and I would say favorable until you actually deal with the franchise. We bought a house with a RO system and Water Softener installed and maintained by Culligan. The folks we bought the house from suggested we reach out to the local dealer in Dayton, OH. Which I did. Unbeknownst to us is that they have split the division between service (the mechanical ends like the RO filters and the Water Softener equipment) and salt delivery. When I first spoke to them (I actually spoke to them) to get the lowdown before we took possession of the house when I called back I left 2 voicemails and even sent 2 emails and never heard back. I figured that did not want my business.
When I went to buy filters for the RO system I found out that you can only buy their brand for replacement, so not wanting to deal with the Dayton/Farborn, Ohio office I reached out to Culligan Corporate and finally talk to a gentleman named Scott. I did not want to deal with the Dayton/Fairborn office so I ask for another dealer. I found out you must deal with the Franchise in your geographic area. Scott never called me back like he promised and I wound up receiving a call from from the Dayton/Fairborn store.
Remember this home was under care previously by Culligan, it took 59 minutes to set up an account and schedule salt delivery with one office and service from another office. What a cluster mess, it is a wonder how this company survives and their efficiency must be horrible. At the end I asked for the cost of the service call and filter costs which they could not tell me. In the end it was all arranged but it was a horrible experience with this franchise owner. When the units finally wear out I will probably go another route, but for now will stick with this unless it becomes unbearable.

They fail to follow up with customers as promise. Gave me wrong information. I found a promotion free installation, so I reached out to Linda and mentioned it. She said, "Yes there is such promotion, let me call you back,” she said. She calls back and say, "Well we have to run your credit," came back and said I would have to pay $159.00 deposit. That’s being misleading. I have not heard from her since then. Poor customer service indeed.

I hated everything about having someone from Culligan come into my house. They did the whole water sample science experiment to scare you into how bad your water is for you. They give you your options, prices & push paperwork to take all your info credit card etc. I was uncomfortable & wanted to think on it. They kept pushing getting my info so it was “on file” in case I change my mind. Not to mention they push the newer filters which range from 8-10k and casually want me to give my credit info for credit checks. My salesperson called their boss offering deals etc. The whole thing was not ideal and I did not think this was what I’d be getting when having someone come In.
I ended up being so uncomfortable that I gave her my info and ended up calling once she left my house telling them to immediately discard it. (I’m also someone who doesn’t do well with confrontation.) Personally if they just kept it simple, told me my options and gave me simple info on my water I maybe would have considered but the sales pitch and push made me upset.

A service call was scheduled for between 12 and 2 PM. At 2 PM no one had arrived. I called Culligan and talked with the service department. They said the technician was running late. I asked if he had my phone number and the service department confirmed that he did. I asked why he has. It called to tell me that he was running late. They offered to reschedule the visit. I told them, no thanks. I feel like they think that customers have no choice except to take what they can get. I suggest finding another company offering water softener services.

The initial sales and installation process went well, but the service afterward was very disappointing. When our system stopped working, it became extremely difficult to get any assistance from the company. After four separate service calls, during which the system still wasn't fixed, we were promised a visit from a supervisor. He missed the first appointment without explanation, and when we rescheduled, he failed to show up again. Frustrated with a whole house water system that wasn't functioning and a company that seemed indifferent, we ultimately decided to remove the three-year-old system and replace it with one from another company. We are very satisfied with our new water system.

The technicians that installed our system also went above and beyond our expectations! Our service technicians were absolutely AMAZING!

I went on Angie's list to find a water softener provider. I had three responses that came and tested my water. The last, was the Culligan Rep. He stated (exact words) "If you go with one of the others, you will have two tanks in your basement. If you buy our product, you will have only one. It will "do it all". I bought. After many years of paying to have it serviced, I am still dealing with water that literally eats my faucets (had to replace 2), turns my tooth brush holder an ugly brown, and many visits by my new Rep.

Albany NY...I bought an RO system. Ran just to the kitchen sink. The tech came on a Friday afternoon. Saturday night I went down and saw all this water on my basement floor. A slow leak so I waited until the next day and reported it to the salesman and 24/7 service along with the fact that I had purchased an extra set of filters which were not left. NO ONE CAME TO LOOK/FIX THE PROBLEM!! So on Monday morning I hired my own plumber to fix it (a nut which was loosened by the tech and not tightened enough) and BLOCKED this company from my phone. If they don't care to hear me then I DON'T CARE TO HEAR THEM ASKING FOR PAYMENT!!!! They are incompetent and thieves. I ignored them for 2+ years and then they brought me to court. Because I didn't respond to the courts I lost out and had to pay them. THEY SUCK!!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

I have been with Culligan for years for my soft water system, at the start it was working smoothly (billing and services) until my local Culligan water started charging me for services that has not been rendered. I am part of their delivery services for salt and filter change program. Recently for this month the driver delivered salt and left the filter outside our house (which we don't know of and no text was sent prior to the delivery), he did not even ring the door bell when we are just inside the house. We don't know how to change filter and what does he expect us to do with that filter? I don't want my system to be malfunctioning when we are not trained to do that.
When I called the office that day for the service issue, they scheduled me for their tech to come by the end of the month. No charges was mentioned nor anything that could be considered a service call because it is not it was a failure on their end. Today Brenda called and left a VM stating that service will come tomorrow and that I will be charge for the service. I was getting confuse because why am I being charge for something that was a failure on Culligan’s end. We are part of the program and delivery so we won't be charge for additional charges for filter change installation but just for the filter itself.
When I called, I spoke to Jona whom can't answer my questions regarding the charges. I was transferred to Destiny whom she claimed as the coordinator for Fresno, Ca office. I tried to clarify charges with her and from the way she speaks and tone of her voice it seems that she needed to go to a customer service class on how to achieve customer service excellence but instead after all the charges that she can't explained she offered me right away to be taken off their program for delivery and services.
I don't know if this is how Culligan Water wants to be represented with this type of attitude handling customer calls or maybe they need to put their staff on a recorded call so they can monitor this type of behaviors. Culligan water will slowly lose their customers if it's handled this way. Also during this conversation it seems that Culligan water is trying to rip off money from their customers with hidden charges and poor services. I hope that corporate will try to check their local office in Fresno so they won't lose any loyal customers like me. If I can give a “0” star on them, I would.

We purchased a high efficiency water softener and reverse osmosis system in March of 2018 (6 years ago). RO "button" rusted 2 years ago and became unusable. Customer service informed me that the button is not replaceable and that the whole system would need to be replaced. This seemed absurd and so I called back another day hoping for a more informed person. Nope. Many calls to many jurisdictions gave the same answer. Button broken means $600 dollar fix, and even an example given of a woman who had dropped her button into a sink and then paid for the cost of entire replacement. After much digging I found that in fact the button is replaceable through Culligan at about $30.
Meanwhile the technical team is completely and intentionally unavailable by phone. Only with a callout fee is there access to system knowledge. Now our softener water flow meter has failed, and did so some time ago. The lack of salt use clued us in to the fact that the now ultra high efficiency device hasn't run for many months. The warranty expired at 5 years and we are at 6. So no more efficiency, just a two day cycle for us in a very hard water area no matter the water use. A very good sales pitch, and a very poor product.

We decided to go with Culligan based on my lab work when I knew the brand by its quality. We installed an over $10,000 system in our condo in Shrewsbury, MA where our daughter lives presently and where the water quality is famously miserable. Three months short of its 1-year anniversary, the filter system for the kitchen sink got completely clogged. Tech came and changed the 4 filters. 24 hours later there was still no drop of water.
I called them back. They came, apologized, and told my daughter the system was completely clogged, that they needed to remove it and that they will bring it back on Friday. That was Monday. Nobody called me for 3 days. I called to check on Wednesday and was promised they would call me. It is Friday today as I am writing this, 4:40 p.m. Still no calls or equipment. I called back only to find out the nice person answering the phone had no idea what was going on, the person in charge was out of the office and his boss, the office manager does not work on Fridays.
The one and only office in MA is in Winsor, CT where she was. They serve MA, CT, and RI. Not very well, clearly. Not sure if this is a New England issue with insufficient staff to cover the needs of the three states but a reputable brand such as Culligan should never run into such subpar service quality. I am absolutely stunned and will pursue this up to the top of the company, and all over the internet until they do something about it.

We worked with Karen who was extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING, not just about Culligan systems. She thoroughly explained everything she was seeing and thinking, and gave us recommendations on what the issue could be with our current system, and ideas on how it could be fixed. We ended our first visit with specific instructions on what to do next, and then set up a follow-up appointment for her to retest our water and asses everything to see what the next steps would be. Upon her return visit, she re-tested our water, and a sample that we had collected in between our first and second visits, and was able to determine that our current system is working fine, but had just gotten behind somewhere along the way, along with our water pressure tank not being aired to the proper PSI.
The previous company that I had out to check on our system, told me our water was unsafe to drink due to a foul smell and possible bacteria, and told me we need a whole new system. I was so scared to drink our water, or to let our children or guests drink our water so we started buying bottled water while we attempted to figure out how we would afford to replace our current system with a new, very expensive system of theirs. With Karen's expansive knowledge of groundwater, and all of the systems that are used to push water through our homes (not just a softener) we were able to determine that our 23+ year old system is still working fine, producing us with soft water. When it comes time to replace our system, or if a friend or family member is in need of water service, we would without hesitation refer them to Karen at Culligan Water of Ann Arbor. Thank you!

Be carefull with maintenance costs. The salesperson does not disclose how much it costs to replace filters every year. There is a house call visit cost of about $150 plus the filters themselves, which runs another $135. There is no option to buy the filters from anyone else and when you buy them from Culligan there is about a $40 sh attached to the filter's price. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

We had a water softener with Culligan for over 8 years with an automated debit on the account. ONE TIME a payment was missed because our account was compromised and frozen, and instead of reaching out to us, Culligan started billing us for payment without reinstituting the debit, we did not know they were doing this so we started being charged late fees. Further, we received 4 bags of salt every month that we never had to use because the unit was not working properly, so we accumulated 20+ bags of salt and even after we called for service, nothing was done to correct the issue. Even the technicians who removed the unit after I cancelled our account admitted that we should not have that much salt unused and that the unit should have been using more salt if it was working correctly. I am certain that we were paying for a service that we were not getting.

I got a card in the mail advertising a $19.95 Softener Inspection and Water Test. I forgot to give them the code when I scheduled someone to check my water softener, and paid $114 in advance of the visit. I kicked myself for forgetting to give the code for the $19.95 inspection, but that's life. The service call took about 20-30 minutes. Nick was efficient, adjusted the regeneration to be more often, and tested the water hardness. I have no complaints about the service itself.
However, I just got a bill in the mail for an additional $57.50. Apparently, the $114 for the service visit does not include Nick's time. They billed me at $114 per hour for 30 minutes, and also added a $2 fee for the print statement of the bill that they mailed me. All in all, this 30 minutes to slightly adjust my water softener cost $173.50, which seems way out of line both for what was done during the service call and compared to the rate and billing of services from other professionals, such as plumbers. However, the main criticism I have here is that this additional cost for "parts and labor" was not made very clear when I was scheduling this service- it was certainly not clear that $114 was never going to be the total amount for the visit. I am very disappointed in this practice.

Water softener is old technology but still works OK! The Iron filter/curtain is such a terrible product they won't even warranty it. If you not home and the filter fails you will lose most of your basement carpeting. I'm just a dumb plastics engineer and I can tell when the Iron curtain will fail. It has its own cleaning system "bleach" and when that system starts to use less and less bleach to clean itself that is when you need to start worrying. What happens it builds up pressure and blow the cleaning line off and pump water for hours all over your basement floor. Service from the WestBend Wisconsin office is the worst. Please use anyone else. You will be happier than using Culligan.

Culligan made it really easy to get a quote and to get a water softener & RO installed. They were super responsive and willing to come out on weekends. Once the system was installed, the whole experience changed. They do not offer any service appointments on weekends or evenings. They will not give you any kind of time frame either. So you have to take an entire day off work to get service. The same is true for salt delivery. Who can take a full day off work to get salt delivered??? I spent a lot of money on a water softener and RO system. My water softener stopped working three months after it was installed. By the time I found a full day I could take off work, the warranty had expired. They're charging me over $200 just for the trip out and labor. Even cable companies give you a four-hour window. I thought they had the worst customer service. I wish I chose a different company.

Culligan installed water softener system in home that was being sold. Mike, the employee, assured the seller that the contract could be transferred to the new owners. When the new owners made an attempt to take over the account they were told they could not take it over and must sign up for a new contract. Culligan does not stand by what their employee told the customer and deducted over $500 out of previous owners account without notification. Reached out to corporate and no help there either. Office manager, Michelle, said the customer should have read her contract better.

First of all, the customer service was great from representative to delivery. The water dispensing equipment fits our everyday needs and while we're a little short on the water request side (our fault), we are definitely still saving money. If I were to pick a small con, the delivery schedule was a little past our expectations (we had no drinking water). They were still able to come a day earlier than expected.

I don't know where to begin, I have lot to say but I will try to keep it short. About an year a ago I inquired water softener system and came to in contact with Culligan. I sat down with culligan Rep and decided to go with their leasing contract, Rep had me sign the contract on his Ipad. He didn't leave any document and I trusted the guy since he use to work with my friend selling barbecues. Next month came and they tried to charge to my account as I purchased the system instead of leasing it, I called their office in Ontraio and person on the phone told me it was mistake and she will fix it. She did fix it and now I was on leasing terms.
The system they installed had faulty parts that was giving wrong readings to their system as far as how much water was being used in the house and because of the wrong reading system was flushing 20 times a month and with that took all the salt and I was always out of salt. They didn't want to deliver the salt, it would take literally many calls to their office so I can get salt. I called culligan many time to let them know what was going on and it took them a year to come to my house to diagnose the system.
Now after a year their tech comes and tell me there is faulty part in here and that's why it regenerate 20 times and that's why you are always out of salt. He told the whole thing to his manager "Jose" on the phone when he was at my house I can hear the whole conversation. When I called culligan to complain about it Jose the manager said their system was working properly and he has no knowledge of faulty parts even though he knew everything than he said even if there was faulty parts system was still working properly.
I asked him, "Ok if the system was working fine why did you have to change the parts?" He has no answer. After I had their system installed I changed all of my toilets costing me $500 a piece and I have 4 of them and now they all look like the one I had prior. There is lot more about this culligan location I don't have enough time to finish this but I will say one thing at the end. Stay away from them. I wouldn't even give them 1 star if I had option.

The plumber was the sorriest excuse for a professional on the planet earth. Six months into owning our softener, it started to leak. I put up with the occasional leak. I called a year into ownership, and got a service call. The plumber was the sorriest excuse for a professional on the planet earth. He claimed the tank needed replacing at hundreds of dollars as the threads on the top were ruined by our house pressure. He claimed the pressure at our house spiked at 120 psi and it ruined our regulator, and the pressure had somehow stripped the plastic threads on the conditioner.
Fact. I had the city test the pressure in the neighborhood. 88 psi. Fact. I had them test it at my house. 88 psi, Fact, I bought a tester and tested it…You guessed it, 88 psi. Fact. The Culligan website lists the softeners certified to work between 20- 125 psi. Fact. I lowered the water regulator pressure to 40, and the leak stopped. Fact, I replaced the rubber seal at the top and re tightened the softener head. Fact, at 50 psi, the unit does not leak leak, at 70 it does. It leaks past the upper rubber seal. This is a design flaw. No damage to the unit from pressure, it’s a flaw.
To top it off, the tech put new salt in our unit by request. The bags are stored on the back of a dirty truck. He opened dirty bags over our unit, introducing dirt and mold spores into our salt container. It was clean before he arrived. Full of dirt after his departure. How incredibly unprofessional. So either one of two conditions exist.
1. Culligan is AWARE and part of the scam to coerce customers into needlessly buying new units due to “over pressure“ which Isn’t the case.2. They use unethical and or shitty plumbers to do their work.
To top it off. I got charged 180$ for this dazzling display of unprofessional behavior. Fortunately I am mechanically inclined and caught this ** assessment. I pity the elderly on a limited income, or the mechanically un-inclined, who will fall prey to this scam. I’m inclined to get a news channel to do some investigative reporting on culligan.

I hate this company. Years ago, when I contracted with Culligan for a whole-house pH adjuster, the salesman lied about almost everything, in order to get the sale. First, he told me that the canister could be refilled by the homeowner. This is not true. I need to get an service guy to come out and remove it, every couple years, and take it to the service center to be cleaned and refilled. This takes a couple weeks and costs — last time I got it done — several hundred dollars. Second, he promised me a free, comprehensive water analysis. When I contacted the Culligan office to arrange the water sampling, the manager said they had no record of that part of the agreement, and that they don’t even offer that service. Third, he tried to sell me a superfluous, two-canister treatment system that would have reduced my water pressure to near zero.
The fact is the salesmen who come out to do a pitch and get a contract work on commission. They will say what they need to in order to get you to sign. If I could have a do-over, I never would have gone with Culligan. Before I purchased their treatment system I used a locally-owned company that switched out smaller media canisters every month. It was an inexpensive service, and a far better way to treat our water. But after spending well in excess of $1000 on the Culligan canister system, I am now stuck with them.

Seems like every month the salt tank was overfilled and always had a salt bridge I needed to deal with.

While the system was repaired the tech said they don’t fix the grass. After I made a few comments about it he said he’d talk the the manager and have him call us, but nobody ever did.

I have a water well, and the water contains sand particles and gives off a sulfur smell in the summertime. I contacted Culligan and purchased about $8000 worth of water treatment equipment from them including a water softener, chlorinator, sand trap, outside filter, and reverse osmosis system on the company's recommendation based on my problems. I thought that the initial cost of the equipment was reasonable. However, once I was locked into this investment, then any time that I have needed any part of service from Culligan, no matter how simple, it has been significantly overpriced. A service call alone costs me $140.
I called them once when my reverse osmosis system wasn't functioning and described the problem. There was no trouble-shooting over the phone for simple fixes. All they'll do is offer to send a technician out. So the technician got there and told me that the battery had gone out on the leak detector, and the system wouldn't function if that leak detector didn't have power. Seems like they could have told me that over the phone. Anyway, they billed me $140. Once I had a dishwasher repairman tell me I still had sand in my water. I called Culligan. They sent a technician. He came over and basically told me there's nothing he can do about it. Small sand particles are unable to be filtered by their system. $140. I had about a 6 inch rubber tube get a leak on the chlorinator pump. I was bound and determined not to call them. I tried to find a replacement on my own and ended up not getting the right part. I broke down and called Culligan.
The 6 inch rubber tube was $45 plus $10 shipping. Once I got the part and could figure out the part number, I found the same part online for $17 and free shipping. The culligan salesperson also told me when I bought the $8000 system that it had a lifetime warranty. However, I have always been charged for everything when anything has gone wrong. The lid to my chlorinator was made of thin blue plastic. After sitting out in the sun for a couple years, it started cracking and just disintegrated.
When I contacted culligan for a new one, I was told they had never heard of that happening, and the part is simply unavailable. They provided me with some black rubber cap that doesn't fit properly. I had to wrap it with gorilla tape to get it to fit somewhat snugly and not allow water to pour into the system when it rains. Also, the lid to my chlorinator started to deform over time. There is a hole in the lid for some 1/4 inch tubing to enter which is not water-tight. With the lid deformed, water would pool when it rained and get into the system. Again, culligan came out and looked at it, and told me to just keep sealing around the tubing with some caulk. Every time I have needed service or parts, I have felt ripped off while receiving substandard fixes for the maintenance of what is a big investment for me. I initially felt like the purchase of the system was a fair price, but the overpriced service and parts make me regret ever buying it.

Now the water softener is not working correctly at all and I contacted Culligan complaint department. I did get a call from Culligan and was asked about my problem. Culligan said the would contact the Culligan dealer in my area. Since then, I haven't heard anything from Culligan. I will never buy a Culligan product again with their poor service. Get a Kinetico since they do have service that will help you.

We has a Culligan softener purchased in 1999 and had no problem till 2018. Then on Nov 2018 we had a sale person stop buy and demonstrate the new product. Due to past experience and it being 20 years old we purchased the new one. In last one year and 6 month we had tech visit 3 times to fix issues with installation and latest being water inside the electric circuit. Each time I raised concern and the response was good. However this time the repair is more serious I raised my concern on the product quality and the response from the management is that the product went through a change and the new version now comes with a cover for the electric circuit. They won't charge for the cover but I need to pay service fee.

Culligan is probably the least reliable company to purchase a Reverse Osmosis System from. I purchased their system in November of 2018. I was told that 3 of the filters (Sediment, Activate Charcoal and small filter) were good for one year and that the Reverse Osmosis filter would be good for 5 years. So, I picked up the one year old filters in September 2019, (less than one year). I changed out the old filters and used the system for 5 months when the system stopped working. (No water flow.) I called for service. They came out and told me the "5 Year" filter was clogged and no good. (This 5 year filter lasted all of 18 months.) Now tells me I need to buy a new one for $120., plus the $148 service call ($268.00 plus tax)...
THIS SERVICE CALL LASTED 13 MINUTES!!! I asked the service rep. if he could also change out the faucet for the RO system that was leaking. He told me he doesn't have the time. Remember...just for the 13 minute service call to solve whatever problems I had cost $148!!! AND HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME!!! REALLY??? So now to get the faucet replaced it will be an additional $148 +. The most painful and upsetting part of this is that I paid $1,200.00 for this cheap ** system. Never use them again. When the next filters fail, I will purchase a reliable system, from another dealer/manufacturer and junk this P.O.S. Before purchasing this RO system, I had used Culligan for 20 + years for my Water Softener at my previous home. Won't do that again either.???

We Ordered Drinking Water Filter, Their Salesman Cheated And Made Changes to the contract "water Softener Bundle". THEY HOOKED US ON MONTHLY HIGH PRICE! A rip off company! For your protection use another company!

Very unhappy with the equipment. I was sold on (by the salesman) to purchase the softener instead of renting. What a mistake. There have been several issues with the equipment in a short period of time. Each time I request service, I receive an invoice that shocks me to say the least. Warranty? LOLOL. Do not make the mistake of choosing Culligan. If you must, definitely lease and do not buy the equipment.

Service technician went above and beyond to help make sure the system was working properly, helped adjust our well pump and manually pumped out the holding tank for the system to work properly. Friendly and helpful.

On October 3 contacted local (Hot Springs, SD) Culligan dealer regarding softener repair. I had no water pressure and bypassed system to restore pressure. System is four years old, as I replaced system that was over thirty years old. After two months of no response, I contacted corporate customer service (Scott) on Dec. 6. On Dec. 12, I talked to him AGAIN! He indicated dealer was talked to on Dec. 11 and would be responding within a week. As of today, Dec. 26 this has not happened. Soon it will be three months without a response! I have been a customer of Culligan for over forty years including my residency in Rapid City. Never have I ever had such an slow response from any business!

A Culligan customer for over 20 years. After 10 years the product has at least one issue every year. The problem is the service is inconsistent depending on what tech you get. I have a service contract, pay a monthly fee and the price is reasonable. The issue is customer service is erratic. Scheduling could be more than 2 weeks out. Sometimes it takes repeated service visits to fix the problem. I question if issues are related to the monthly service fee I was given 20 years ago. My issues are with the Ramsey Minnesota location. Looking at buying a new system Kinetico ?
