Questions & Answers
Can a single water conditioner effectively soften water, remove iron, and eliminate sulfur odors?
Yes, the HE Softener-Cleer Home Water Conditioner is one of the best water softeners for well water with iron and sulfur, making it a great solution for those who have noticed limescale buildup, a rotten-egg smell and rust stains around faucets or water-using appliances.
Does the HE Softener-Cleer also remove other impurities or contaminants from the water?
The Culligan HE Softener-Cleer Plus is one of the best water softeners for well water with iron and sulfur. If you’re looking to address other contaminants throughout your whole home, check out the Culligan whole home filtration systems. Or, if you want better-tasting, cleaner water on tap, explore the Culligan drinking water filtration systems.
What size or capacity water conditioner do I need for my home's water usage and the levels of iron and sulfur in my water?
Water softeners come in various sizes, and making sure that you have the right size for your home is important. Getting the right size will allow you to make sure that you can soften your water sufficiently without losing efficiency and wasting extra water and salt by regenerating too often.
The best way to accurately size your water softener is to work directly with a Culligan water expert to test your water, assess your flow rate and determine how much water your household uses on a regular basis. Generally speaking, harder water, higher water consumption and a greater number of taps running simultaneously mean that you’ll need a larger water softener. You don’t want to overshoot, though. Regular regeneration is also still required for optimal performance. Plus, larger units tend to cost more, meaning that purchasing an oversized softener might result in spending more money upfront than is necessary.
What is the lifespan of the HE Softener-Cleer Water Conditioner?
We design products that are built to last. Our systems have been tested against rigorous standards and have industry-leading warranties. The lifespan of your system can be impacted by usage, maintenance and water conditions, but you can expect your softener to last for many years. Periodic cleaning and maintenance will keep your water conditioner operating at peak efficiency.
