Water Softener Installation: What to Expect

Learn everything you need to know about getting started with your smart water softener.

How does this water softener system work?

Water softener systems operate through basic chemistry. The main tank of the system is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Hard water is caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged ions. As hard water pumps through the water softening system, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water. The salt water in the brine tank is regularly flushed through the resin beads to rinse off the hardness minerals and keep them working effectively.

Culligan’s trained technicians provide full-service installation to make it simple to get started with your new system. Your local Culligan water expert will connect your water softening system to your water supply, electrical, drain and the salt-filled brine tank, and you’ll be all set. The average installation takes about 2-4 hours.
