What our clients say

There’s a reason Westwood Culligan is the best water treatment company in Farmington .

David and his team came out and installed a new soft water treatment system by Culligan. He resolved a lot of issues that the system that was in here before had. He’s very confident and explains everything very well to where you understand how to use your system and it was a pleasure working with such a professional team that got the job done quickly and efficiently , I’m very proud of my new Culligan soft water treatment system!
Fast, efficient and helpful. The Westwood team takes care of its customers whether it is for needed supplies or technical assistance with a problem. They are the best in the four corners area.
Was told by multiple plumbers that my issue with calcification could not be resolved at all or without $25K investment. Called Westwood and had a wonderful pre sale and installation experience with David the technician. Result was no more calcification and great tasting water due to whole house treatment system and under-sink RO system for around $5K.Great experience, would recommend.
The customer service was excellent. The installation was quick, smooth and exceptionally professional. The team went out of their way to set up the best system for our home. From the smallest item to the largest challenge, so grateful for their positive attitudes and professional service. Definitely looking forward to using our system and continued business with Westwood Culligan.

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is because your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

A rotten-egg smell in your water may be strongest right after turning the water on, as heat forces the gas out of the water and into the air
H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

How Do You Fix It?

Here at Culligan, you can find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water.

The first step we have to take is to test your water, so we can be sure of the real cause of the rotten-egg smell.

Fortunately, here at Culligan we offer this service free. One of our water experts will come to your home to test the water (you can’t send it away to a laboratory because H2S is a gas and could dissipate during transport) and let you know the source of your rotten-egg smell. You’re under no obligation whatsoever. 

Culligan water treatment systems can completely remove the rotten-egg smell from your water
