Common water problems in Rice Lake
Acid water problems
Acidic water has a pH of less than 7, and usually comes from acid mine water or acidic industrial wastes that seeps into the water supply. Acidic water not only tastes bad, but it can cause major damage to your plumbing and appliances by eroding any copper it touches. Learn more about acid water.
Common acid water problems include:
- Pin-hole leaks in your plumbing
- Blue-green stains on your fixtures, sinks and tubs
- Blueish stains or residue on laundry
- Light colored hair tinted blue-green
- Metallic taste
Chlorine water problems
Municipalities often use chlorine to disinfect municipal water supplies, leaving it safe to drink but with a strong smell and taste. Many factors can impact the strength of the chlorine smell - the distance between the public water source and your house, the temperature of the water and how long it's been exposed to air. Learn more about chlorine water.
Common chlorine water problems include:
- A "bleachy" or swimming pool smell
- A bitter, metallic or disinfectant like taste
- Dry, itchy skin
- Brittle, damaged hair
Hard water problems
Hard water results from high levels of calcium and magnesium in water. Hard water minerals stick to everything water touches, and do more than leave an unsightly residue - they can actually harm your home and cost you money. Learn more about hard water.
Common hard water problems include:
- Stains and buildup on sinks, shower heads, and dishes
- Dry skin and hair
- Costly long-term damage to water appliances
Culligan of Rice Lake history
When you choose Culligan Rice Lake for your water needs, you’re choosing an industry leader with top-rated water treatment equipment, advanced technology and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Culligan Rice Lake was opened in 1985 by Jim Luedtke, who worked in the family plumbing business growing up and another Culligan dealership while in college. The business began with two route books and 82 rental accounts, but no building, trucks or inventory. Jim was the sole employee of the business for three years before hiring his first part-time employee in 1987. It’s grown exponentially since then, with over a dozen employees servicing 10,000 customers from our modern building with reliable delivery trucks. In 2017, we installed water vending machines, which are open 24/7 and sell both RO (reverse-osmosis) and alkaline water.
The Culligan Rice Lake difference
Rated 4.7 / 5 out of 123 reviews
Matt was out for a service and did a fantastic job. I might have asked 100 questions, and he answered them all patiently, knowledgeably, and in an understanding way. I have no doubt that my systems are running as well as they can. I am now more informed on what to watch for and how they are working.
