Had a shock this week when I got the bill for the annual maintenance on our Culligan water softener system. We've had it for ten years or so and are very pleased with its performance. Our well water is very good, but the minerals in it were making it very 'hard' and leaving calcium stains on our faucets and drains. We noticed the improvement it made right away, making showering and baths more enjoyable and more efficient. We've opted for annual service. They change the filter, reset the auto-purge and the control box, flush the system, and test the water. It takes the technician about half-an-hour. Most times, the bill has been a hundred-and-some dollars. Last year, for the first trime, it was two hundred-and-some. This year's bill was over $400! The tech said there were no problems and everything was normal. He also mentioned the maintenance scheduler was supposed to have told us there was a price increase. She didn't. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Culligan? I'm going to contact the local plumbing and heating place that services our heating system and generator to see if they can do the maintenance on the Culligan - and give us a cost estimate!
