My skin doesn't itch after a shower since I have had Culligan water softner. They let you know when they will be at your house. If there is a problem, they correct it quickly.
I love having the salt removed from my drinking water.
We have always had a water softener, but having the salt removed from my water is a great help to my low sodium diet.
The man that has worked for you for so long has so helpful and he installed while we built our house. He has always been so knowledgeable and does maintenance when needed and has always been so kind.
