mine these needs before purchasing a water treatment unit.

Culligan knows the more informed you are about your water treatment systems, the more confident you
will be about its performance. It’s because of this and more than sixty years of commitment to customer

A Culligan professional can determine if your drinking water system requires servicing. Optional water
quality monitors are also available to monitor the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane.

without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Est 2938-IL-01.

The
