Questions & Answers
How does this water softener system work?
Water softener systems operate through basic chemistry. The main tank of the system is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Hard water is caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged ions. As hard water pumps through the water softening system, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water. The salt water in the brine tank is regularly flushed through the resin beads to rinse off the hardness minerals and keep them working effectively.
How do I install the Culligan smart water softener?
Culligan’s trained technicians provide full-service installation to make it simple to get started with your new system. Your local Culligan water expert will connect your water softening system to your water supply, electrical, drain and the salt-filled brine tank, and you’ll be all set. The average installation takes about 2-4 hours.
How much does a smart water softener cost?
The price of a Culligan water softener depends on the specific softener you choose as well as its features, efficiency, durability, capacity and more. Culligan Water offers flexible payment plans whether you choose to rent, purchase or finance. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today and a Culligan water expert will help you determine what your home needs.
How much space is needed for installation?
Take a look at the Product Dimensions chart to get a better idea of how much space you need for your system. It can be installed anywhere you have access to main water piping, a drain and an electrical outlet — in the laundry room, basement, garage or outside.
