Why Orange County Homeowners Choose Culligan for Whole-House Water Filters

  1. Local Expertise You Can Count On

    With more than 85 years of experience, Culligan is a trusted name in water treatment — and our Orange County team knows the local water conditions firsthand. Orange County’s municipal water often has a strong chlorine taste and odor, and hardness levels can cause buildup on faucets, dishes, and plumbing. Our locally based, licensed technicians ensure your filter system is built for Orange County’s water challenges and installed to exact specifications.

  2. Systems Customized for Orange County's Water

    Water sources in Orange County vary widely, from imported supplies via the Colorado River Aqueduct and State Water Project to local groundwater managed by the Orange County Water District. Because of this mix, water quality can change from one neighborhood to the next. That’s why we begin with a free water analysis and recommend the right whole-home filtration solution for your home — whether you’re looking to reduce chlorine taste and odor, improve hardness, address sediment issues, or replace an older system.

  3. Professional Installation from Start to Finish

    We handle everything: from removing an old system to installing your new whole-house filter. Our licensed Orange County–based technicians work efficiently, protecting your plumbing and ensuring your new system is ready to perform from day one.

Signs You May Need a Whole-House Water Filter Installed or Replaced

If your entire home’s water has a chlorine taste, sulfur smell, or looks cloudy—even from multiple taps—it’s a sign your whole-house system may need upgrading or replacement.

Whole-house filtration systems have a finite lifespan. If yours is more than a decade old, key components may be failing, and replacing the entire unit could restore water quality and flow.

Rust-colored water, sand, or fine particles coming from taps indicate your filtration system isn’t capturing contaminants effectively and may require service or replacement

Any visible cracks, corrosion, or persistent leaks on the filter housing or piping signal that your system is nearing the end of its service life and should be replaced.

A significant drop in water pressure at multiple fixtures can mean your whole-house filter is clogged or undersized for your needs.
