How hard is Denison & Sherman Water?

Drinking water in Denison & Sherman averages about 7 grains per gallon (gr/gal) or 127 parts per million (ppm).

Where can I get a Water Quality Report for Denison & Sherman?

You can Access the City of Denison & Sherman's annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This is also known as a consumer confidence report, and provides detailed data on the composition of your municipal water annually.

Will my water taste salty?

No. A properly functioning water softener will never make your water taste salty. The small amount of sodium added to the water will never create a salty taste.

How do I know if I have hard water?

Hard water usually manifests itself in several ways. It leaves white residue behind wherever water evaporates. When hardness reacts with soaps and detergents, it leaves a sticky soap scum behind, and in hot water heating systems it leaves behind a hard scale.

How does a water softener work?

A water softener works through a process known as “ion exchange,” which means that as it removes calcium and magnesium (elements that make water “hard”), it replaces those ions on a one for one basis, usually with sodium.

Will a water softener reverse the damage that has already been done to my appliances?

Yes, if your hard water has been building up scale in your appliances, once you install a softener it will begin to remove that built-up scale. It will take a long time to remove it, but it will remove it.

Will the softener remove all impurities from my water?

Unfortunately, no. A water softener is designed to remove hardness (calcium and magnesium) from water. They can sometimes remove a limited amount of iron and manganese if you happen to have these problems as well.

Are there chemicals used or put into the water to soften the water?

Other than salt or potassium chloride, there are no other chemicals that a water softener uses.

How long after installation will I have soft water?

Once a softener is installed, it will begin to soften your water immediately, However, if you have a tank-type hot water heater, it may take a few days to use up that hard water, until you feel the full effects of soft water.

How often do I need to add salt?

Most good softeners today recharge based on how many gallons of water you use, and how hard your water is to start with. However, most of our customers today are adding salt once or twice a year, on average.

How can I remove salt from softened water?

The decision to remove salt would be based on the size of your water softener, how hard your water is, and how much water is being used in your household. Generally, you won't go more than a few months without adding salt to the tank. Culligan not only can deliver your salt but service your softener with scheduled maintenance.

Does Culligan offer California-approved water softener installation and maintenance?

Yes, Culligan understands and follows all state and local plumbing codes and regulations provided by the UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code) and CPC (California Plumbing Code) for water softener installation and maintenance. This includes understanding requirements for venting, drainage, and backflow prevention.

How do water softeners affect septic systems?

Water softeners require additional water for regenerative purposes, but are rarely known to cause issues in septic systems if an expert handles the installation. Culligan experts understand septic system capacity and its relationship with water softening systems better than other third-party installers and general plumbers. We also use septic-safe softener cleaners only.

Does hard water cause dry skin?

Yes, hard water can cause dry skin if you have sensitivity to such issues. Calcium and magnesium are examples of minerals that can leave a film on your body and prevent your shower products such as soap and shampoo to get through the surface. Studies have also shown areas with hard water are more likely to have children with eczema.

What is the installation time for Culligan Water Softeners?

Culligan Water Softener installation requires a site inspection and water test, which is different than buying a softener online and asking a plumber to install it. This work on the front end helps mitigate issues down the road. The installation process usually only takes a day or two depending on work needing done on drain lines, your water supply, and electrical connections. Your Culligan expert will always test the softener after installation to ensure it's working properly.

What softener is right for my home?

Hard water can cause dry skin if you have sensitivity to such issues. Calcium and magnesium are examples of mineral that can leave a film on your body and prevent your shower products such as soap and shampoo to get through the surface. Studies have also shown areas with hard water are more likely to have children with eczema.

DIONIZED WATER TREATMENT in Denison & Sherman

What is deionized water?

Deionized (DI) water is water that has had dissolved mineral ions (such as calcium, sodium, iron, copper, and chloride) removed through ion exchange resins. The process of deionization removes ions from water using ion exchange resins. It produces highly purified water by attracting and removing positively and negatively charged ions, making it useful in industries like electronics and pharmaceuticals.

What are the types of high purity water?

Deionized (DI) Water – Removes ionized salts and charged particles. Commonly used in labs, electronics manufacturing, and processes where mineral deposits can disrupt operations.
De-mineralized Water – Similar to DI, with most minerals and salts removed through ion exchange, carbon filtering, or microfiltration. Used in applications requiring high purity.
High Purity Water – Essential in semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where impurities can affect processes or product quality. Achieved through multi-stage treatment like RO, UV, and DI.
Lab & Medical Grade – Meets strict purity standards for research and medical use. Involves advanced filtration, RO, DI, UV treatments, and sub-micron filtering to remove bacteria and pyrogens.

How is DI different from reverse osmosis (RO) or softened water?

Softened water removes hardness minerals only.
RO removes a wide spectrum of impurities but may leave trace ions.
DI produces the highest resistivity/purity levels, ideal for lab, medical, and industrial use.

How long do resins last?

Resin life depends on incoming water quality and usage volume. Culligan technicians monitor and exchange tanks as needed to ensure continuous water purity.

What are the operating costs?

Running a DI water system requires more than just the equipment itself. Costs include the upfront system investment, replacement of consumables such as resins and filters, energy use, water consumption, and waste disposal. You’ll also need to account for maintenance, repairs, labor, and the handling of regeneration byproducts. Careful cost management and system optimization help ensure consistent, high-quality water production while keeping operating expenses under control.

What are the maintenance requirements for a DI water system?

Maintaining a DI water system involves regular monitoring of water quality, periodic regeneration or replacement of ion exchange resins, pre-filtration to remove contaminants, system flushing, sanitization to prevent bacterial growth, and regular maintenance checks of system components.

What purity levels can I expect?

Culligan DI systems can achieve effluent water resistivity up to 18 megohm-cm, depending on system design.

What are the Specifications of DI Models & Tanks?
