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.

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.

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.

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.
