Anyone have experience good or bad with Culligan High Efficiency water conditioners??

I understand they are a rather new design

If you are referring to water softeners there is only one the market I would recommend, Kinetico. Mine is going it's 38th year and still going strong. Doesn't need electricity either. Pricey, but quality always is.

Only two names to remember in water softeners. CLACK and FLECK/PENTAIR WATER. Depending on what water treatment professional you talk to determines which one is #1 & #2, but both are good. The head engineer that made the one company #1 left and made the other company famous too!

I know for a fact at least one of those companies makes valves for Culligan.

No experience with Culligan but I recently replaced my high efficiency water softener with a so-called extra high efficiency unit (both Kenmore) and it is regenerating less often and using considerably less salt.

I rebuilt the old one and replaced the resin and will keep it as a drop in spare.

I think that like anything else you are best off to get it from an independent. Someone who worked for one of the big companies and learned the business, then went out on his own and knows what brands and models work the best and is not constrained by one brand. My guy makes his up with Fleck heads and another brand of tanks. I tried Kinetico once, It kept having problems. I have a customer now who had Kinetico put one in a big restaurant customer for him and they have to come out every other week to repair or adjust it. he is not happy with them.
