What Clients Say
We've been leasing a high-end sulfur filter from Culligan of Wheaton for the past five years or so, after we bought one of those from them sixteen years ago but then it died after many years of continues use. The leased unit never gave us problems until recently (or so we thought). We detected a slight sulfur odor in our water so we called Culligan of Wheaton. They came promptly, assessed the situation, and couldn't find any strange odors. However, they did notice that our filter was not the latest model so they replaced it for the latest, state-of-the-art, one. This model does not require a bottle of bleach every month. It's self-cleaning. It's great not having to refill the bleach bottle anymore! By the way, the sulfur odor is now gone! I'd highly recommend Culligan of Wheaton to anyone who needs ANY type of water work done. They have been great doing professional installations and pipe work too for us for the past sixteen years--and counting!
