We live in the country and have a well, so while we check the well and as far as safety, it is just fine. But I do not like the taste of iron, and I do not like what the iron does to my washer, the toilets - and an occasional smell when you run the water. So Culligan gives us good tasting water and a reasonable cost. It is delivered to our door and the payment system is automatic with great communication and support through phones and the computer. I originally picked up the Culligan water at my local grocery, but during COVID they would not take back the bottles. With research I learned that having the water delivered was not a lot more than buying at the store, so it was a great plan for me. Thanks~
Sometimes I feel like I need to automatically schedule an appointment for every couple of months to make sure my softener is working correctly. When I see it needs to be looked at, it's after hours and then I forget by the next day to call. They are very good at letting us know when they'll arrive, so we make sure someone is home to let them in. I also feel comfortable letting them know the doors are unlocked so they can come in if we're not home. I love having Culligan for my softener needs.
I like not having to worry about carrying salt down my stairs and getting it at the store. It's nice to have somebody maintaining those things and not have that worry.
