Great experience - George was super responsive, knowledgeable, and honest. They did not try to upsell any services. They deliver a very high quality product and were very pleasant to deal with.
My Partner and I recently purchased a water filtration system to neutralize and soften our water as well as eliminate the PFAS/Forever Chemicals that were found in our well water on Martha's Vineyard. The system they put in serves both the main house and a cottage, and happily could be placed in and connected into our well at the same time..The two service technicians who came out, JD and Reed, were great!!!.They were professional, informative, efficient, personable, considerate and very positive in all they did.We could not have had better technicians or a better experience.Thank you so much to Culligan in Sanwhich, MA!!!.And warm regards to JD, Reed, and George!
Truly a great experience working with George and our local Culligan team over the past two years.We purchased a home with an existing filtration system - but still struggled with discolored water - we live on a pond, with well water. George was patient enough to walk us through the testing process, and proposed a water softening system to resolve our issues.Even since the softener has been installed, we've had perfect water and zero troubles. Very pleased with our experience and grateful for the entire team - George, Andrew, JD, and Kacey.
Zac did a great job!!Culligan is the best
George Moore came o our home and did a great job testing town and well water supply. He is extremely knowledgeable and was very receptive to answering questions.
From start to finish, timely communication, thorough, job done (from water testing to installing the softener) in less than two weeks!
After a town meeting in Plymouth, Ma, we quickly realized my daughter and her family needed a water filtration system. My daughter had a water test quickly done by Culligan and had her installation on Halloween. Her service installerPatrick Colebourn was quick and speedy with the complete installation. Everything is so neat and tidy, the whole appearance has a nice clean look. Couldn’t be happier with the process and the professionalism at Culligan’s.What an amazing transformation from the appearance of the water, and let’s not forget to mention how crisp the taste of the water is now!Many thanks!
George Moore was totally dedicated to customer service. From the initial meeting to quoting our new filtration system he was timely, clear and available to answer questions or to address concerns.The installer, Patrick, was professional, courteous, and a good mechanic. He explained the steps and process and accommodated our wishes in placement of the filter and its orientation in the basement.I would not hesitate to recommend Culligan and in particular George Moore who was ready to go the extra mile to make sure our install was flawless. The water tastes great !
I just wanted to thank you for sending Andrew to help resolve a problem we were experiencing. He is always so knowledgeable, helping to find the source of the problem right away, and also immaculately clean, leaving our basement perfectly clean upon completion. Thank you Andrew!!!!
From the beginning Culligan was super professional and timely with install and first meeting. Came out to do a water test and install of filtration system was done a few days later. Couldnt be happier with our system. Can clearly taste the difference in the water. Worth every penny
Process from sales to install was simple and easy. The sales guy had the water tested, answered our questions, and wasn’t pushy at all. Install was a breeze and looks like a piece of artwoek in the mechanical room. For whole house filtration, it was well worth the price and piece of mind. I have been referring my friends.
A shout out to Brad in Customer Service. When our faucet mounted filter stopped working, he patiently walked us through ways to check it out then when nothing worked, he sent us a replacement. It came quickly and we're back in action! The best case scenario when a problem arises, is to have a good support system in place and Brad certainly was it for us! I so appreciate a company standing by their product. Thank you Brad!
Having a water treatment system from culligan has been great!! It stopped my copper pipes from having pin hole leaks and saved me tons of plumbing costs and aggravation. The franchise in Sandwich ma has always been very accommodating with service appointments. I would highly recommend
Just wanted to share that Max continues to be a pleasure to work with. Timely, thorough and pleasant. Keep up the good work!
I can’t say enough about the customer service I got from Chris. When you get a Culligan system the value goes way beyond your water. Chris was there day and night making sure everything was running perfectly. I would highly recommend Chris and his team.
We couldn't be happier with our new Culligan system. The customer service, install and follow up is outstanding. Our rep Chris Rendigs is a complete professional, and has been awesome throughout the whole process. His knowledge of water and water filtration is very impressive. I highly recommend this team !!

Watch: What to expect at Your Water Softener Installation

The price of a Culligan water softener will depend on the system 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.

Water softeners work through basic chemistry. The main tank of water softening systems is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Meanwhile, hard water is caused by high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged molecules. As hard water pumps through a water softener, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water.

To help determine the appropriate size for your water softener, your local Culligan Water expert will assess factors like the hardness of your water, household water usage and flow rate. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today to get custom recommendations based on your home’s needs.

If you’re dealing with the unfavorable effects of hard water — like dry skin and hair, limescale buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap scum on shower walls or too much wear and tear on your water-using appliances — you may need a water softener. That said, remember that not all systems were created equal. With Culligan Water, you can rest assured that you’ll get a full-service partner, quality products with durability and an established brand you can trust.
