Bad tasting water

Improve the taste of your water with Culligan

Before water enters your home, it can pick up bad-tasting contaminants — from private wells, miles of underground utility pipes or even your local municipal water source.

Many municipalities add chlorine to offset the problems caused by these contaminants, but this can make your water taste even worse.

Common water taste problems include:

A sour, salty, bitter or metallic taste due to total dissolved solids (TDS), normally chlorides, sulfates and bicarbonates
A bleach-like taste due to the addition of chlorine
A musty, woody taste due to organic contaminants like algae
A soapy or chemical taste due to contaminated private wells
