The water softener: A must-have for every home
What is a water softener and what is it for?
A water softener is a device designed to reduce water hardness by removing calcium and magnesium ions through an ion exchange process. This prevents limescale deposits which can damage household appliances and decrease the efficiency of cleaning products.
Is it good to drink softened water?
While softened water is ideal for domestic use, such as laundry and bathing, it may contain higher levels of sodium following the softening process. For drinking, it is often recommended to use an additional filtration system to remove the added sodium.
Benefits of a water softener:
- Appliance protection: Extends the life of washing machines, water heaters, and dishwashers.
- Increased efficiency: Reduces the amount of detergent needed for cleaning, saving money and resources.
- Improved comfort: Makes water softer for your skin and hair.
- How do I know if I need a water softener?
If you notice spots on dishes, a film on your skin after showering, or a rapid buildup of limescale on your appliances, it is likely that your water is hard.
Where should a water softener be installed?
It is generally recommended to install a water softener where the water enters the house to effectively treat all the water used.
Filtration systems: Essential for pure water
How water filtration works
Water filtration can be accomplished using various technologies, from activated carbon filters that remove chlorine and its compounds, to reverse osmosis systems that reduce the presence of solvents, pesticides, and other contaminants.
Benefits of water filtration systems:
- Improved water quality: Better taste, no unpleasant odors, and reduced contaminants.
- Preserved health: Reduces risks associated with consuming contaminants.
- Versatility: Solutions available for specific points of use such as the kitchen or for the whole house.
Reverse osmosis: Supreme purification technology
What is reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a fine filtration method that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities from water at a molecular level, producing extremely pure water.
Benefits of reverse osmosis:
- Deep purification: Removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants, including heavy metals and viruses.
- Cost-effective in the long term: Although the initial installation is costly, maintenance costs are relatively low, and the system can provide purified water cheaper than buying bottled water.
Portable and automatic exchange deionizers
Functioning and benefits
Culligan’s portable and automatic exchange deionizers use ion exchange resins to remove mineral ions from water, producing high-purity demineralized water. These systems are crucial for applications where water quality is essential, such as in medical laboratories and pharmaceutical industries.
- Portability and flexibility: Easily transportable, these units can be used across different sites without fixed installations.
- Automation: Automatic models regenerate resins without manual intervention, ensuring continuous production of high-quality demineralized water.
- Specific applications: Ideal for equipment sensitive to minerals in water, thereby enhancing their efficiency and lifespan.
Desalcalization
Process and utility
Culligan’s desalcalization technologies reduce water alkalinity using processes like reverse osmosis or ion exchanges. This method is particularly useful for protecting heating systems, boilers, and other industrial installations against the corrosive effects of overly alkaline water.
- Installation protection: Prevents corrosion and scale buildup, reducing maintenance costs.
- Improved water taste: Less alkaline water is often more pleasant to drink, which is beneficial for restaurants and food services.
- Varied applications: Used both in industrial processes and to improve drinking water.
Ultraviolet water disinfection
Efficiency and safety
Culligan’s UV water disinfection systems provide an effective and eco-friendly method to eliminate microorganisms. By exposing water to UV rays at a specific wavelength, these systems destroy bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens without adding chemicals.
- Non-chemical: No risk of overdosing or chemical residues in the treated water.
- Increased safety: Eliminates up to 99.99% of the pathogens present in the water.
- Versatile use: Ideal for hospitals, schools, residences, and any facility requiring high-quality drinking water.

Refresh your water experience with Culligan® bottle-free water coolers
Why choose a bottle-free water cooler?
Drinking eight glasses of water a day only benefits you if the water is good too. Good water should taste clean, be odor-free, and feel refreshing. If tap water doesn’t tempt you or if you find yourself running the faucet for a long time before it’s drinkable, it’s a clear sign there’s an issue.
For every water problem, there is a solution, and Culligan’s bottle-free water cooler could be the perfect fit for you. With Culligan, you can count on enjoying great-tasting water at every sip. Our reverse osmosis purification process uses the most advanced contaminant removal technology available. It’s capable of reducing microscopic impurities and chemical compounds far more effectively than:
- Carbon filters
- Charcoal pitchers
- Faucet add-on filters
While these methods might mitigate the problem, they don’t solve it completely. Conversely, Culligan systems are designed for perfect adjustment of your water’s components, ensuring every glass of water is purely refreshing.
Impurity-free refreshing water
Culligan’s refreshing water is free from impurities such as:
- Sodium
- Lead
- Chlorine
- Limescale
Pure and tasty water means your family will drink more water and less of sugary soft drinks. Doctors recommend drinking eight glasses of water a day as part of a diet, during exercise, and for a better lifestyle; so why not ensure it’s pure and refreshing with Culligan?
Bottle-free water cooler – Your APU solution
Our point-of-use (POU) or bottle-free coolers connect directly to your existing water supply, delivering high-quality filtered water straight into your glass. This is an excellent alternative to bottled water if you’re aware of the negative environmental impact. Did you know that it takes not only petroleum but also water to manufacture a plastic water bottle? Indeed, a study by the Pacific Institute informs us that in 2006 alone, 17 million barrels of oil were used in the production of bottled water in the United States, not to mention the energy and oil required to transport these bottles!
Opting for a water cooler instead of relying on plastic bottles to remedy stale-tasting water is the sensible solution. It’s also convenient as the water arrives chilled in your glass, eliminating the need to let the tap run. This encourages the use of reusable water bottles when you’re out and about.
The best water cooler
Why choose Culligan’s water machine over others? Our water dispenser includes several exclusive features such as Aqua-Cleer filters, which means that each machine is tailored to your specific filtration needs. Whether you’re dealing with hard water, high chlorine levels, or sulfur taste (the infamous “rotten eggs” smell), there is a specific filtration need that a Culligan cooler can address effectively.
Indeed, water passes through several stages before landing in your glass:
- A charcoal filter
- A reverse osmosis filter
- A Total Defense cartridge
- A polishing charcoal filter
For the purest water possible, you can rely on a cooler that does much more than merely chill your water’s temperature! Additionally, a UV lamp keeps the tank sanitized at all times.
Craving hot water for tea time? Yes, our cooler also provides heated water up to 85°C, ideal for your hot beverages.
To equip a water cooler at home or in the office, whether to replace water bottles or inefficient filters, Culligan Québec has the solution for you.
