Why Test Your Water?

It seems like nothing of value is free, right?
Learning what’s in your water at no charge does sound too good to be true.
Here’s why we have a free water analysis:

  • It’s far cheaper for us to test your water and give you the proper equipment the first time compared to if we had to go back to correct it.
  • The loss not only in our time and labor but in goodwill would far outweigh the costs involved with a water test in your home.
  • Culligan has been around since 1936 and we’ve been in KC communities for over 75 years. You cannot serve a community for that long unless you take care of your customers.
  • With the Do-It-Yourself mentality in most areas, if we started charging $79 for a water test, we fear that too many people would get caught going with an ineffective solution that doesn’t fully take care of their needs.

After all, what good is water treatment if it isn’t designed to handle YOUR water? 

Common Contaminants In Tap Water

pfas

PFAS

Also known as “forever chemicals,” are man-made compounds that can persist in the environment for thousands of years. Used in products like nonstick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and food packaging, these chemicals have been linked to potential health risks, including cancer and immune system issues, and are difficult to eliminate from drinking water & the human body. (not included in free water test)

Hard-Water

Hard Water

Hard Water shortens the life of appliances, leaves Hard Water deposits on fixtures and dishware. Hard Water also requires chemical detergents to counter the effects of hardness and can require up to 65% more cleaning products. A simple Hard Water test can determine how much Hardness is in your water.
Bacteria

Bacteria

Municipal water suppliers inject disinfectants (Chlorine) to eliminate bacteriological contamination. Well Water does not. Most Well Water is safe and free of bacteriological contamination but the only way to know is to have it Tested. A special test is required for this and must be done in a laboratory. This requires 2-4 days. (not included in free water test)
Chlorine

Chlorine

Most municipal water has been treated with some form of Chlorine disinfection. Well Water does not have chlorine. Chlorine in tap water tends to dry out skin and make hair brittle. It can be higher in some parts of the city than in others.
Salt-and-Dissolved-Solids

Salts & Dissolved Solids

Salt is another common contaminant. It is usually higher in surface water that comes from lakes. However it isn’t unusual to encounter higher than acceptable levels in some well water. The only way to know is to have the water tested.
Fluoride

Fluoride

Fluoride might be common in KC’s municipal water. In excess, it can cause problems. If you are concerned, a special test to determine the levels of fluoride is available.

Christie, my technician today, was great very informative.
Quick helpful friendly service!
I'm happy and this is a long review. The TL;DR is that they're awesome.I can't recommend Culligan of KC enough. Truly, they have been phenomenal. Sales, installation, even the managers I've spoken with were all just friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I have a special needs kid and am fairly new to Kansas City, and I was not prepared for how hard and chlorinated the water in Olathe is. My kid has severe digestive issues and skin issues and is super sensitive to all kinds of things, so I finally decided we needed a water softener and RO.Justin came out and tested my tap water for all the things (it's as bad as I thought) and explained all my options really well, helping me decide what I really needed for my house and my budget without pressuring me. Honestly, a wonderful salesman. The kind of salesman that all salesmen should be but rarely are. He's answered all my questions (and I have had a lot), returns messages and calls with no problem or delay, and is just a great guy to work with.Josh installed my equipment a week or two later, and was super professional and efficient. He got my water softener, dechlorinator, and RO all hooked up and installed with no issues, and then made sure I understood the equipment and operation of all the things. Justin popped in during installation and made sure I was happy with everything and they were just really great.Justin came back a couple weeks later to make sure everything was going well and I was happy with everything and the equipment was working as it should (it was). I decided that I needed a larger RO tank (I use more than I estimated) and he came through again, explaining my options and getting me what I needed.Damien came and installed my larger RO tank, and was super great about working around my schedule. He was friendly and efficient, replaced my tank quickly with no issues.If you're worried about your water, these are the guys to call, hands down. I have recommended them to strangers, to my family, and will continue to be a customer here.
We’ve had our new water system for about three weeks and could not be happier. Love the feel and taste of our water. Justin and Josh were both excellent in their sales and installation roles and I would highly recommend Culligan KC for their products and people. Great work, all!
Justin and Josh did a great job last Friday May, 29, 2026 putting my system in particularly with the changes that were made. We went from the big blue to the whole house filter system during their installation and Josh had to go to the store to pick up parts so the water from the softener could be discharged in another area of the basement instead of the original spot. Thanks you!
Kuddos to James and his team. My wife and I are very happy with the service we are receiving.We recently had a wholehouse water softening and reverse osmosis system installed.James personally made sure that the installation was tailored to meet our needs despite some obstacles we had to overcome in the early stages of the planning and installation given the plumbing system layout of the house.James and his team delivered, and then some. They went above and beyond. That explains Culligan's excellent reputation in the local market.People make the difference for companies for sure.Thank you James and Culligan team.
Joe did a great job from the consultation visit to the installation. He was timely, professional, and worked with our schedule.
Jacob was an outstanding Craftsman; very easy to talk to and explained any questions I had. It’s great to have clean water!
Christy provided service to our home today and was wonderful! She is very professional and knowledgeable regarding our system. She took the time to educate us regarding the system that was in the house and made sure we understood. I highly recommend Culligan and Christy as well.
Had a new softener system put in. Great service and great timely responses from the entire team through the installation process.
