Bacteria Contamination

Bacteria Contamination

Bacteria are microscopic organisms that are found just about everywhere. Most are harmless, but certain types can cause disease, sickness or other problems.

 

Trihalomethanes (THMs)

Trihalomethanes (THMs)

THMs are trihalomethanes, chemical compounds that can be formed when water is disinfected with chlorine. THMs occur when chlorine reacts with organic matter (the decay products of living things such as leaves, human and animal wastes, etc ) in water, and for this reason are more common in surface water (municipal) supplies throughout Canada.

 

Arsenic, Uranium, Lead and Petroleum Contamination

Arsenic, Uranium, Lead and Petroleum Contamination

Bad Tasting/Smelly Water

Bad Tasting/Smelly 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.

Hard water spots from minerals in your water?

Rust stains from iron in your water? Excess iron in your water leaves red or brown rust stains on fixtures and clothing. Your Culligan Man has the systems to prevent red stains, to save you time and money on cleaning.

 

Acid Stains

Acid Stains

Leaky pipes from acidic water? Tap water containing acid will leave green-blue stains on fixtures and surfaces in your home.  Cleaning these blue stains is not easy, but appearances are not the only issue. 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.
