Helicaldrive— I detest hard water, as well. Had a Culligan weekly tank exchange service which became progressively less reliable. I was lamenting the service to my landlord and he purchased and installed an OMNIfilter softener for my apartment. No more Culligan problems! I know not every Culligan franchise is crappy, but if you’re not happy with their products or service, I’d check with your local plumbing/heating store (mine is an Ace Hardware) and purchase one from them. They’ll install it.
I had hard water for the better part of two weeks recently and it sucked. The local water has 25 grains of hardness per gallon (or 427 parts per million). The dishwasher performed horribly, showers felt astringent and soap scum/mineral deposits began showing up on the tub, shower surround and faucets. Stains were not fully removed from laundry. Hope you find a solution soon! |

The official city water department quality report for Euless TX (where DFW airport is) listed total dissolved solids as one part per THOUSAND.
I don't know what it is here in west Ft Worth, different source and different processing, but this is all surface water from lakes/reservoirs and the ground is primarily sand and calcium carbonate with some clay mixed in. Gotta keep a jug of vinegar handy. |

Helicaldrive - We had the same issue with ours. Our running water was due to blown seals and it was a quick repair from our local company. Our issue was the result of an increase in water pressure and not really the softener.
I don't know how Culligan works but ours is Rainsoft and our local, I guess, franchise is really good. No complaints here. It's too bad these franchises can give a company that's been around for years a bad name. |
