Recently we had a horrible experience with Culligan water softener, Calgary, Alberta. Sales representative was very pushy. We decided to rent Culligan water softener to try it for a few months before purchasing. At the second try, the softener that was installed which was not even a Culligan water softener after they made a mess for the first time. Within about 60 days we discovered that the water softener was broken and it was draining water like crazy and I made three service calls to Culligan and no one returned my call. We bypassed the water softener to avoid water waste. But the damage was already done and we ended up with about $1300 water bills for about 60+ days. Our water usage is typically about $70 per month. Culligan refused to accept any responsibility for this incident and refused to reimburse me the damage they have caused. They would not even split the water bills with me.

This is the second time Culligan has provided wrong product to their water filtration system. In addition the Culligan office also did not inform me TWICE that they had not received the parts they “ordered.” I called then when I had not heard from them. And they assured me the parts were coming in. I had to cancel the plumber call twice. Finally, they said they had the parts. They didn’t! They gave me a used part and a part they fit a different model. I still had to pay for the plumber and now I’ll have to pay thousands to put in a new system. And when I brought this up with the HQ Office secretary she was beyond rude.

Stopped at my local Culligan store. Asked about purchasing a new part which I had with me. Store manager said that a man would have to come out and check the whole softener. I said the softener is getting old and I did not want to put alot of money back into it with the sevice call and everything. He then suggested that all the cost done could be put towards a new one if we decided not to fix it. I then asked him what the part would cost? He said “*** I don’t know”. He then asked when the last time was that they looked at it? So he went to the file and then went on how we have had it for 20 yrs. and it should be looked at and also our water needs to be tested. I asked again, “how much for the part?” He said again “***, I don’t know. I’ll have to look it up on the computer.” He finally came back and said it would be 30 some dollars for the part and another $20.00 for his time. I asked, “are you serious?” He said, you bet I am serious!. I set the part on the counter and walked out. Will never have any dealings with Culligan again!!!
