December 21st, the Winter Solstice, has passed. The days are now slowly getting longer as the winter months march on.

Winter ushers in both enjoyable and unpleasant things. It brings holidays and time with family as well as cold weather and dry air. Although winter is a great time of year, the cold weather brings some difficulties with it. In cold locations dry skin and hair can be a real nuisance. But what can be done? Is there an easy, affordable solution?

Soft water can help your skin and hair stay soft and not dry out, even in the cold, dry winter months. Hard water can be hard on your skin, and the cold weather doesn’t help. But water doesn’t have to be hard. With a water softener system from Culligan, you can enjoy soft water from winter to summer to winter again. You can enjoy the winter months without having itchy, dry skin and dry hair.

Culligan offers many different options to deal with your hard water. To provide you with the best water solution for your home, your local Culligan Man will test your water to determine the kinds of treatment your water needs. Culligan’s water softening systems can be customized to best treat your water, whether it contains the sulfur that makes your water smell like rotten eggs or the iron that leaves rust-colored stains in your sinks, tubs, and toilets.

Contact your local Culligan Man and schedule a water test. Your Culligan Man will be able to determine what’s in your water and the best way to treat it to give you great-tasting, soft water. Soft water from your Culligan Man can help you endure the driest of winter months.

Renter’s Guide to Good Water

You don’t have to be a homeowner to enjoy good water.

Did this statement take you off-guard? It shouldn’t. The reality is there. Even if you’re renting your current living space, you can enjoy some or all of the benefits of Culligan-provided great water.

The important thing to remember about good water when you’re renting is that what is available to you depends largely on your particular living arrangement with your landlord or lady. The rule of thumb with water systems is that if the water system requires major plumbing changes, you’ll probably have to get those approved by your landlord.

So what is available? Under-sink drinking water systems are a great option for great-tasting drinking water. These systems filter your existing water, removing bad-tasting impurities. Other drinking water alternatives may include free-standing bottled-water coolers and bottle-free coolers, depending on where you live. Ask your Culligan Man about drinking water options in your area if you’d like to try a drinking water system.

Water softeners may be an option to you, but these would likely need to be approved by your landlord. Culligan Water Softeners help get rid of hard water stains in kitchens and bathrooms, which reduce cleaning time and cost. Soft water also provides you with softer skin and hair, not to mention brighter/softer laundry. When it comes to water softening solutions, Culligan can work with your building management to determine the best water treatment option for your specific living situation.

What about financing? Aren’t water systems expensive? Yes, sometimes they can be. However, many times these pieces of equipment can be rented and may even qualify for rent-to-own type programs through your local Culligan dealer. Additionally, if you do start renting and have to move, you can likely take your equipment with you, in some cases paying only a service charge to move the equipment if you’re moving to another location within your Culligan Man’s service area.
