Why Choose Culligan For Your Whole House Iron Filtration?

Not all iron filters are created equal…nor is the service to install and maintain them.

  1. Expert Installation. Easy To Use.

    Culligan has been in the water treatment service business for more than 85 years…and it’s all we do. Your local Culligan delivers, installs and maintains your iron filtration system for you, so you don’t have to! No worries about shipping damage, unboxing, or installation location. Just schedule an appointment, then relax and enjoy clean, rust-free water throughout your home!

  2. Cure Problem Water With A Trusted Product

    Iron is most common in homes on well water or with older, aging plumbing. This contaminant can cause rust-colored stains, a metallic taste, and even a rotten-egg odor from accompanying hydrogen sulfide. A whole house iron filter brings these problems to a halt, improves water taste and clarity, and protects your fixtures and appliances. Likewise, you’re backed by the best water treatment service in the industry.

  3. Unmatched Performance + Custom Solutions.

    Introducing Culligan’s solution for whole house iron problems: The Aquasential™ Smart High Efficiency Iron-Cleer® Water Filter. This chemical-free system tackles both iron and hydrogen sulfide in one tank, can be controlled remotely, and is built to handle almost any iron issue your Ida area home’s water is having.

  4. Why Price Tags Are Deceptive

    Unless you were an expert installer, you wouldn’t buy a water heater directly off Amazon. However, big box retailers, both in-store and online, take this transactional approach to homeowners for whole house iron filtration. They offer you low price tags for incentive. But what they don’t tell you about are the installation hassle, the third-party customer service on both ends, and how you’re left to your own devices to maintain your system; don’t forget, your home is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. If you truly want to save throughout the life of your system, go with the expert!

Problem Water

Iron in Ida, MI Water

Iron is one of the most abundant metals on earth, and it naturally dissolves into groundwater as it moves through soil and rock. Homes on private wells in the greater Ida area like Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Washtenaw Counties, are most likely to see elevated iron. It can also leach in from aging, corroding iron or galvanized pipes in older homes.

The telltale sign of iron is reddish-brown or orange staining on sinks, tubs, toilets, and shower walls. These stains are stubborn, return quickly after cleaning, and can permanently discolor fixtures and laundry if left untreated.

Even small amounts of iron give water an unpleasant metallic taste and can affect the flavor of coffee, tea, and cooking. Iron-rich water often carries a faint rusty smell as well.

Iron problems frequently come paired with hydrogen sulfide gas, which produces a distinct “rotten egg” odor. The Iron-Cleer® system is engineered to address both iron and hydrogen sulfide together.

Iron can feed naturally occurring iron bacteria, leaving behind a reddish or brownish slime in toilet tanks, on fixtures, and inside pipes. This buildup can clog plumbing and reduce water flow over time.

Iron in your wash water can leave yellow, orange, or brown spots on white clothing and linens, and it leaves dishes looking dull and spotted no matter how much detergent you use.

Iron deposits accumulate inside water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and pipes. These deposits are known for reducing efficiency, shortening appliance lifespan, and leading to costly repairs.

A whole house iron filter treats water as it enters your home, so every tap, fixture, and appliance gets clean, rust-free water, not just one faucet. This protects your entire plumbing system and improves water throughout the home.

Whole House Filter FAQ

We Have Answers!

The Iron-Cleer® uses a chemical-free oxidation process. As water passes through, dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized and trapped in the system's media bed then flushed away during regeneration, leaving you with clean, rust-free water at every tap. No chemicals are added to your water.

Most likely, yes. Iron is far more common in well water than municipal supplies. A free Culligan water test will measure your exact iron and hydrogen sulfide levels and confirm whether an iron filter, or a combination of filtration and softening, is the right solution for your home.

Yes. The Iron-Cleer® is a two-in-one system designed to address both iron and hydrogen sulfide, the gas responsible for the rotten-egg odor. Hydrogen sulfide is reduced significantly in water containing less than 5 ppm.

An iron filter is designed to reduce iron and hydrogen sulfide, not hardness. If your water is also hard (high in calcium and magnesium), Culligan may recommend pairing your iron filter with a water softener for complete protection. Your local Culligan expert will recommend the right combination based on your water test.

The Aquasential™ Smart High Efficiency Iron-Cleer® is available in 10″ and 12″ models, certified to reduce iron for up to 1,400 gallons (10″) and 2,000 gallons (12″). Your Culligan expert will size the system to your home's water usage.

Culligan products are reliable and long-lasting with industry-leading warranties: a ten-year warranty on the GBX circuit board, control valve body and fiberglass tank; a five-year warranty on the Soft-Minder® meter; and a one-year warranty on the entire conditioner.

Your local Culligan water experts handle everything from the free in-home water test and installation to ongoing maintenance like filter changes and system sanitation. Your system can be installed anywhere with access to main water piping, a drain, and an electrical outlet, and can be monitored proactively through the Culligan Connect™ App.

How Much Does A Whole House Water Filter Cost Compared To A Reverse Osmosis Filter?

Whole house water filters are typically more expensive than reverse osmosis systems for a couple of reasons. A RO system only filters water at one tap, while a whole home filter operates as a water system throughout your home. Likewise, custom options to filter major issues such as iron and sulfur are not applicable to a reverse osmosis system. Think of an RO system taking care of your drinking water at one tap, while a whole house filter provides customizable solutions for all water problems -- scale, hardness, laundry -- throughout your home.

Do Whole House Water Filters Soften Water?

Whole house systems are designed to reduce sediment, chlorine and other contaminants, leaving you with cleaner, safer, fresher-tasting water. Based on the makeup of your water, Culligan may recommend a combination of whole-house filtration and water softening. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium can decrease the effectiveness of your whole house water filter, so if there is a need for a whole house filter in an area with a high level of hardness, this would be the solution suggested by your Culligan expert.

Do Whole House Water Filters Reduce Water Pressure

An undersized or poorly-installed whole house water filter will reduce your water pressure throughout your home, which can range from a minor annoyance to a major flow issue in your sinks and showers. You can prevent this issue by avoiding retail and third-party plumbers, who do not have experience installing whole house water filters as their primary job. Culligan also provides your product with a warranty, as well as maintenance options so if there is an issue, it can be fixed immediately.
