Bad Tasting Smelly Water, Odor in water

Smelly, bad tasting water? Total dissolved solids (TDS) like hydrogen sulphide, iron and other chemicals can lead to rotten-egg, fishy and chlorine odors in your water. Remove them with Culligan® whole house carbon filters, reverse osmosis drinking water systems or water conditioners.

Staining / Acid Stains

Leaky pipes from acidic water? Tap water containing acid will leave green-blue stains on fixtures and surfaces in your home. This blue-green stain is actually the copper in your pipes being eaten away by the acid. Left unchecked, it could cause a "pin-hole leak" in your pipes. Your Culligan Man has the system to solve your water problems.

Sulfur

Hydrogen Sulfide or "SULFUR" in your water smells like "Rotten Eggs" and it Stinks! SULFUR is a gas that dissolves quickly in water and when released, such as at a water faucet or shower, its disgusting "Rotten Egg" odor is present even at low concentrations.

SULFUR gas is also flammable and it is very corrosive to most metals and can even tarnish silverware! The horrible odor is often stronger in the hot water than in the cold water, and most people agree that Sulfur water tastes just plain awful.

Bacteria

Just like air and food, drinking water is not sterile - nor does it need to be. It should, however, be free from pathogens which are microorganisms capable of causing disease.

Drinking water is treated to remove any pathogens that may be present and is disinfected before it leaves the treatment works. A small residual amount of chlorine is left in the water to maintain quality as it travels through the network of mains and pipes that deliver water to customers.
