We have a Culligan Rust-Master for removal of iron and sulphur, and the Culligan Mark-100 water softener.

Over the last several months we have been having sulphur deposits in the toilets so we brough in the Culligan man…. He said that the first problem was that the valve to let air into the system needed to be replaced and, if that didn’t fix the problem, the mineral tank needed to be replaced because it’s probably full. He said that mineral tanks typically last 4-5 years at most so they need to be replaced regularly.

We had a plumber take a look too, and he agreed about the valve. He also wants to replace the aerator/precipitator with something other than Culligan, because it offers a port at the bottom for draining the sludge, instead of replacing the tank.

The main question I have is… Are the Culligan man and the plumber talking about replacing the same piece? I’ve tried to correlate "mineral tank" with the aerator/precipitator but haven’t been able to find any relationship.

Do mineral tanks (or whatever they’re called) for the Culligan Rustmaster need to be replaced every few years?

Another, related, question… The Culligan manual says to put the aerator/precipitator after the water pressure tank and before the filter tank. But the plumber says that the aerator/precipitator should be before the pressure tank. Which way is better?

Thanks,

Trevor.

I have an outdoor faucet to connect the hose to for summer watering. I loose a lot of water through the joint. Though i made sure that the connection/threading is really tight i still loose a lot of water. Can someone suggest how to fix this leak. Is there a washer or tape needed for the faucet-hose joint. I have similar problem with my front yard outdoor faucet-hose joint.

We have horrible lime and calcium build up - very hard water. We want an entire water softner/filtration system.

Bottled water or attachments for the sink is not what I am talking about, it needs to be for laundry, showers, drinking, cooking, etc.

Please help!

I’ve been researching the web to find the best Water Pitcher Filter — which one removes the most contaminents. Unfortunately, I can’t locate any good comparison-reviews. All I know is that Brita ranks lower in tests when compared to the Pur brand . . . but how does Pur compare to all the others on the market?

If you have an answer (and perhaps a webpage showing the data) I would really appreciate it! Thanks for your help!

Because I use a Culligan Water treatment system I get a rotten egg smell from the hot water, I guess from reaction to the MagRod.

Instead of letting the water sit out, can I just add a few drops of that water conditioner that is for aquariums, to remove the chlorine? Or is that bad for house plants?

Water softener has not be softening water lately. I fill up the salt tank but it uses it up pretty fast. However water test shows hard water off the chart. I disconnected the water softener and opened up the tank. There was very little amount of resign in the tank. Maybe like 2 inches. I couldn’t find anything broke on the plastic dip tube. Does the resin disintegrate after a while with really really hard water? Or is something broke?
