Their honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to doing right by their customers is unmatched. This is a family-owned business that genuinely cares — not just about water quality, but about the people they serve.I’ve had the privilege of working closely with them in the past and know firsthand that their integrity sets them apart from other franchises and corporate operations. If you’re dealing with any water concerns in NH, this team should be your first call. You won’t find a more trustworthy or dedicated group.
Having clean and healthy water within our home is a top priority for our family. So, we just had our water treatment system installed by Culligan Water.My background is in the technology sector focused on creating memorable customer experiences through product design So, using that lens, I was impressed by the end-to-end customer experience provided by Perry Morin of Culligan Water.We have a new drilled well this year. The water was unclear and tasted bitter. So we had the water tested with two independent water testing laboratories. Culligan Water conducted their own water test, then sent out a sample to one of the independent labs that they trust. The test results detected bacteria, manganese, sediment, iron and hardness.Given the test results, Perry outlined product options along with the benefits of each. We decided to purchase the Aquasential Select Series Water Softener and Aquasential Select Plus Iron/Sediment Filter systems.Perry was very communicative throughout the process. This included explaining the installation steps, submitting proposal options, scheduling the work, and yeah, showing up on time.The quality of the installation with respect to the system layout, plumbing and water discharge lines were completed in a clean and professional manner. Many contractors don’t care about the appearance of how they install a system since it’s in the basement right. Yet, Perry consulted with me on how I wanted to layout the equipment and run the lines given we have future plans to finish out the basement. It’s secure, clean and professional.On many occasions, he took the time to explain, in detail, how the system works and showed me how I can monitor the status of the system through the control panels, even allowing me to video his presentation for future reference. He was a pleasure to with even while annoying him with lots of questions.We signed up for the quarterly sodium chloride maintenance plan, which is a great deal. Trust me, I did my research in looking at water treatment companies in our area before interviewing and hiring Culligan Water.In my opinion, they were the best choice, and I have now confirmed that decision. I highly recommend Culligan and Perry who rocks…best home investment we ever made.Paul
Charlie and the Culligan team came in and reviewed the water test after we had an Artesian well installed. They came up with a plan to handle all the issues including Arsenic, Iron and the usual suspect for hard water.Added to that we requested to have our outside water silcocks separated from the water softener, but wanted the Arsenic removed for watering the animals.The Team did an outstanding job And the finished price was more than reasonable.I would absolutely recommend Culligan of New Hampshire to any one in need of water treatment.
Thanks a lot to Charlie and the team for setting up a whole house filtration system. They did a great job, and saw it through even after it became clear the system they originally quoted might not be the right fit. They upgraded me to a stronger filter just to be safe, but they honored the original price. I appreciate that.
I had a great experience working with Charlie and his professional workers that installed my water softener.i am very thankful for calling charlie and getting good water .Thank you to the whole Team

Very informative at our first meeting. Very knowledgeable . Installers where family members. Very polite. Did a nice clean job. The difference I the water quality is amazing. I never knew this could make such a huge difference.
Great experience with this company. Spoke with the owner, Don, personally and got some suggestions to fix my failing water filter system. Had a tech out here, quickly after repairing the system I had to help keep costs down. This has been a great experience for this single working mom with limited income. Thank you so so much Culligan of Laconia and Charlie the tech guy!!!!
Great people, great service, great products. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my water! Zach, the installer, did an amazing job. Kutos to the whole team.

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.
