What our clients say

There’s a reason Culligan of Kansas City is the best water treatment company in KC with over 486 4.6-Stars Google Reviews.

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.

Watch: What to expect at Your Water Softener Installation

The price of a Culligan water softener will depend on the system as well as its features, efficiency, durability, capacity and more. Culligan Water offers flexible payment plans whether you choose to rent, purchase or finance. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today and a Culligan Water expert will help you determine what your home needs.

Water softeners work through basic chemistry. The main tank of water softening systems is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Meanwhile, hard water is caused by high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged molecules. As hard water pumps through a water softener, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water.

To help determine the appropriate size for your water softener, your local Culligan Water expert will assess factors like the hardness of your water, household water usage and flow rate. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today to get custom recommendations based on your home’s needs.

If you’re dealing with the unfavorable effects of hard water — like dry skin and hair, limescale buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap scum on shower walls or too much wear and tear on your water-using appliances — you may need a water softener. That said, remember that not all systems were created equal. With Culligan Water, you can rest assured that you’ll get a full-service partner, quality products with durability and an established brand you can trust.
