HE Water Softening System Options

Your local Culligan water expert will provide recommendations on the best option for you based on your water flow, usage, hardness and pipe size. They may also recommend additional product options to address any other water issues or needs you may have.
Proportional Brining
Increase efficiency and reduce salt usage by allowing your softener to only regenerate the part of the resin bed that has been exhausted
Aqua-Sensor®
This patented technology adjusts to changes in water hardness so it only regenerates as needed, enabling more efficient operation.

If you are dissatisfied with your Culligan product for any reason within 30 days of your purchase, Culligan will remove the product and refund the purchase price.

The Culligan High Efficiency and High Efficiency Upflow are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 372, CSA B483.1, and NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium), barium, and radium 226/228, as verified and substantiated by test data.

Q
Does this water softener work with well water or just city water?
Verified Reply - Culligan Product Team
The Aquasential Smart High Efficiency Water Softener works great with both city water and well water. For well water, we recommend getting a free water test first to determine if you need additional filtration for iron, sulfur, or other contaminants commonly found in well water. Our team can help design the perfect solution for your specific water quality needs.

Exceeded my expectations
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but this totally blew me away. The build quality is great and it feels premium. Delivery was quick too. Definitely recommending this to friends.

Pretty good overall
It works as intended. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid for the price. Customer support was surprisingly quick to respond.

Could be better
It’s okay. Some parts feel a bit cheap and I expected more durability. It still does the job, but I’m not sure it will last long.

Disappointed
Mine arrived with a slight defect. I contacted support and they offered a replacement, which is nice, but the process is taking too long.

Terrible. Would not recommend.
The product stopped working after a week. The materials feel extremely cheap. Wish I had listened to the reviews warning about quality issues.
