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.

The good news is that Culligan of Kansas City can remove those harmful THMs and VOCs from your water supply.

Does your water…

  • Taste “off” or “funny”?
  • Look cloudy or otherwise not crystal-clear?
  • Have an unpleasant odor?

Or, have your water bills increased unexpectedly – for no obvious reason?

If so, these are signs that you might have an issue going on in your water that you need to get tested.

PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid or perfluorooctanoate) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are chemicals that have been used in the United States since the 1940s in the manufacturing of popular consumer goods including Teflon, pesticides, household cleaning products, and other other items.

According to the US EPA:

[PFOA and PFOS] are “extremely persistent in the environment and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes. They are widely distributed across the higher trophic levels and are found in soil, air and groundwater at sites across the United States. The toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential of PFOS and PFOA pose potential adverse effects for the environment and human health.

The EPA has released a Drinking Water Advisory for PFOS which reveals potentially serious issues linking PFOS and PFOA to conditions like cancer, neuroendocrine conditions, cardiovascular problems, reproductive issues, and more.

If you suspect you have PFOA or PFC in your drinking water it’s important that you get your water tested. We can help you navigate that process with the proper state agencies.
