"The water at the beach has a terrible rotten egg smell, after replacing the hot water heater, adding a softener and a carbon filter I still have the smell. There may be nothing that can be done, but yuck! Culligan was very nice and affordable, I just didn't get my problem solved."

"Spoke with Chris about the issues we were having with our water. He provided an abundance of information and options. He scheduled for the install the very next day and we couldn’t be happier with the work and professionalism of Paul, the technician assigned to the job. We would recommend them to anyone when asked. Thanks again Chris."

"This is the most knowledgeable service provider of water purification that I have ever used. He explained everything - lots I did not know and gave me tips on how I could use it more efficiently. I would love to replace my system with a new one, but cost right now does not fit my budget. But when I have the wherewithal to have a new one installed, Purologix will be the company I will hire! Very impressed with professionalism and knowledge and of course know-how.

Purologix MaxPack Whole House Point of Entry 5-Stage Conditioner and Point of Use High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis Purification System.
Patented tank design allows us to create a 5-stage process inside a single, extra wide tank resulting in a very compact and complete treatment process. There is no better City Water Treatment available for a typical homeowner.
No water system is handsome or a work of art, and most look like scuba gear or gas cylinders. However, our WaterMax is different, and the Signature Series styling is as aesthetic as it gets in the Water Treatment Industry. More importantly is what is inside that counts, and our 5-stage process is unmatched without installing multiple filters, and fiberglass tanks in series. More connections, more upkeep, more salt, more water, more filters, more money. Talk to us about our efficiency.

"Purologix knows far more about water treatment than the other three companies I got quotes from. They tested and came up with a system that treated exactly what I needed for my well water. They were prompt and completed the service on schedule. And, they did all the work as if they were installing it in their own home. Highly recommended profeesionals."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.
