Since private well water is not federally regulated, water quality and safety is the homeowner’s responsibility – and potential problems aren’t always obvious. In-home water testing with Culligan is a great place to start. Our well water filtration systems give you cleaner, safer water and peace of mind from morning to night.
Many factors impact the quality of your well water, such as location, pollution and elements in the ground. From smart contaminant tracking to custom filters, Culligan has water filtration systems for well water that can target your unique issues and fulfill your home’s needs.
Hydrogen sulfide is common in well water and can cause a rotten-egg odor.

Common indicators that you may want to consider a filtration system are unpleasant odors like a rotten egg smell, corroded pipes, foul-tasting water, sediment in your water or rust stains in sinks and showers. However, due to the lack of regulation of private well water, there may be more harmful contaminants present in your water that you can’t smell, taste or see, such as bacteria or chemicals.
That’s why the best way to find out if your well water would benefit from a water filter is by scheduling a free water consultation with a Culligan expert. They’ll come to your home and test for contaminants along with other common water issues. They will then recommend the best solution to ensure you get safer, high-quality water.
Having a water filter ensures you’re getting cleaner, high-quality water from every tap. With a Culligan whole house filtration system you can prevent foul odors in your bathrooms, corrosion in your pipes, or rust stains in your sinks and laundry. With a Culligan reverse osmosis system, you’ll notice a difference in taste with drinking and cooking. Best of all, you’ll feel confident your family has safer, cleaner water. For well water homes, it’s often recommended to combine multiple systems in order to get the most effective water experience.
The best filtration system for your well water depends on the specific contaminants in your water and any particular problems you’re looking to resolve, such as a rotten egg smell or metallic taste. Due to the lack or regulations of well water, there also may be additional issues you can’t smell, taste or see, such as bacteria or chemicals.
The best way to find out everything you need to know about your well water is by scheduling a free water consultation with your local Culligan Water expert. From there, they’ll diagnose any issues and recommend the best systems for your home.
To help determine the best size system for your home, your local Culligan Water expert will assess factors like pipe size, household water usage and flow rate. We recommend scheduling a free, in-home consultation to understand your water and get custom recommendations.
The cost of a Culligan water filter will depend on the system you choose as well as its features, efficiency, capacity and more. Culligan offers flexible payment plans whether you decide to rent, purchase or finance. Schedule your free, in-home consultation and a Culligan Water expert will help you determine what your home needs.
Culligan Water offers full-service installation that makes it easy to get started. At your convenience, your trained local expert will come to your home to set up your system according to local plumbing codes and the specific product you’ve selected. Before leaving, your Culligan Water experts will check the performance and show you how to operate the system, so you can enjoy upgraded water right away.
There is no difference between a water filtration system for well water and one for municipal water. However, Culligan has specialized systems and filter options that target specific problems commonly found in well water, such as iron, arsenic and hydrogen sulfide. With well water, it may also be beneficial to get a softening system, as hard water is a common well water issue.
Staying on top of maintenance and having your system serviced as needed can help increase its lifespan and its ability to consistently provide cleaner, high-quality well water. If you have a system with smart features that pair with the Culligan Connect App, you’ll also receive notifications if your system has a problem and needs maintenance. For any product, your owner’s guide will provide you with specific maintenance recommendations for your system.
To ensure your home gets the best well water experience possible, it is often recommended to combine systems. A reverse osmosis system focuses on water used for drinking and cooking. It targets a broad range of contaminants that are commonly found in well water and can potentially make drinking water taste bad, smell off or affect your health. A whole home system targets specific well water issues that impact water throughout your home, such as a rotten-egg smell, rust stains or sediment. Getting both systems is often recommended for optimal well water.
