Culligan of West Texas

Culligan of West Texas is a Culligan dealership that sells, rents and services water treatment equipment for homes and businesses, operating as Culligan of Midland and Culligan of Big Spring. Its lines cover water softeners, whole home filters, reverse osmosis drinking water systems, bottled and bottleless coolers, and scheduled deliveries of water and softener salt. Residential, office, commercial and industrial accounts are all served. The company describes itself as family-owned and community-focused, and cites more than 90 years of Culligan experience behind its products.

Water treatment equipment

Systems come from Culligan's Aquasential range and are matched to specific water problems:

• High-Efficiency Water Softener: described by the company as the most efficient softener made, with a stated 46% reduction in operating costs and optional smart technology
• Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System: up to seven stages of filtration with 12 interchangeable filters, certified to reduce 60 contaminants, in smart and tankless versions
• High-Efficiency Water Filter: four-in-one media that reduces dirt, clay and sediment, with a bypass valve and acid neutralization to limit staining and pipe damage
• Sulfur-Cleer Water Filter: chemical-free oxidizing process for sulfur removal, with a control valve that manages pressure across the building
• Whole Home PFAS Water Filter: dual-tank design certified to NSF standards to reduce total PFAS up to 99.9%, in indoor and outdoor models
• Smart High Efficiency Nitrate Reduction Conditioner: built to keep high nitrate levels out of household water, using a corrosion-resistant Quadra-Hull tank

Coolers are supplied as standalone bottled units with a footprint under one square foot, bottom-load models that dispense hot, cold and room temperature water without lifting five-gallon bottles, and bottleless units plumbed for filtered water on demand.

Water testing

A technician tests water at the property and returns a written report with the systems that address the readings. More complex cases are sent to Culligan's EPA-certified laboratory in Illinois, which screens for arsenic, lead, E. coli and nitrates, with options covering dozens of further contaminants including copper, radon, PFOA and PFOS compounds, manganese and microscopic bacteria.

Well water sampling is handled by the dealership rather than the owner, since sample collection and laboratory timing are the common causes of false positive results on private wells.

Bottled water and salt delivery

Recurring delivery routes run across Midland and the surrounding area, covering:

• Reverse osmosis filtered bottled water in five-gallon bottles, produced at local bottling plants under International Bottled Water Association standards
• High-purity water softener salt, carried in and poured into the brine tank
• Skid lots of salt for commercial and industrial customers
• Bulk water

Drivers remove and recycle empty bottles and salt bags, and many deliveries include a visual inspection of the softener. Intervals are set to household or site usage, and auto-delivery is available for regular accounts.

Service and repairs

Service technicians are licensed where applicable, insured and background checked. Repair work covers:

• Part replacement and repair
• Salt bridge removal
• Equipment installation and relocation
• Emergency response for leaks and pressure problems

Preventative maintenance covers tune-ups, filter changes and sanitization, resetting timers, sensors and regeneration frequency, and inspecting water flow and the brine tank for salt bridging. Service plans combine maintenance, repairs and salt delivery under a single agreement.

Rental, purchase and financing

Equipment can be bought, rented or financed. Rental agreements and rent-to-own contracts are offered on softeners, coolers and filtration systems, with routine maintenance and repair costs included in the rental. Purchased Culligan systems carry a limited lifetime warranty that varies by product.
