The Reverse Osmosis system works great and makes the water taste so much better. Love having it connected to the fridge to make ice as well. And if there's a problem at all it gets fixed quickly and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
We love Culligan water!! It taste so much better than Lubbock water. The monthly charge is affordable and if anything comes up with your equipment they come out and service it for free! All our guests are always complimenting the taste of our coffee, tea, and water! They all love it! Our boys' friends are always saying, "The water here taste so much better than anywhere else!" LOL! We originally got Culligan because we needed filtered water for our baby's formula. We never canceled the service and would not now, because we use our Culligan water for everything!! Cooking, drinking, humidifiers, watering our plants, water for our pets, anything! I would definitely recommend everyone to get Culligan set up in their homes for their water and their ice! It makes all the difference in the world!!

Great water/product (r/o & softener system + additional services at our business) and excellent service!!! I have been a customer since 2005!!! Highly recommend.
I recently had an issue with water backing up into our dishwasher. The service man was very responsive and helpful. He explained the problem and fixed it…even though it was likely due to dishwasher installation and not the RO system. I was very appreciative.The staff are always friendly. We have used them for over 15 years. Set up appointments, call before they come, are good workers, fast, responsive and respectful. I highly recommend Culligan!
We have a drinking water system and water softener unit. The installation was done properly, very professional. The service team keeps our equipment operational. Culligan was an excellent choice for us.
From the quality of the products to the incredible customer service, Culligan sets the bar high for any business to try and attain.
Good experience so far
We enjoy the fact that we have easily accessible RO water on demand for a fraction of the cost of filling up jugs, not to mention having to lug them around and drive across town to fill them up over and over. The service is always reliable and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend Culligan of Lubbock!
Culligan has affordable options for all. Culligan provides excellent service after the sae!
Melany did a fantastic job of helping us understand the value of incorporating a treatment component in our rural well water system. The installation team went above and beyond to get us set up. We could not be more pleased with the result - water we (and our appliances) really do love! Absolutely recommend Culligan Water of Lubbock!

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is because your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

A rotten-egg smell in your water may be strongest right after turning the water on, as heat forces the gas out of the water and into the air
H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

How Do You Fix It?

Here at Culligan, you can find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water.

The first step we have to take is to test your water, so we can be sure of the real cause of the rotten-egg smell.

Fortunately, here at Culligan we offer this service free. One of our water experts will come to your home to test the water (you can’t send it away to a laboratory because H2S is a gas and could dissipate during transport) and let you know the source of your rotten-egg smell. You’re under no obligation whatsoever. 

Culligan water treatment systems can completely remove the rotten-egg smell from your water
