Culligan Water

Growing cynicism about the excessive cost of bottled water combined with increasing concern over water safety and the environmental impact caused by manufacturing and drinking bottled water have made home water filters increasingly popular with Australians. 28.6% of Australian households reported the use of water filters in 2007, a significant increase from the 18.2% that did so in 1998.

The cost of an at-home water filtration system is only one cent per litre

A household of four that consumes an average of one hundred and fifty 600 ml bottles of water a year would save the 18 litres of oil and 600 litres of water used for manufacturing and transporting the bottles, over 2kg of plastic and 8.4kg of carbon emissions that are produced during the manufacturing process.

The cost of an at-home water filtration system is only one cent per litre of impurity-free drinking water compared to an average rate of $2.53 a litre for bottled water and home filters do not produce the environmental waste single-serve bottled water does.

Culligan Water, the country’s leading experts in residential and commercial water treatment and filtration systems for over 45 years, offers Australians professional in-house and laboratory water testing to determine the best solution to their drinking water problems with a range of options to suit all budgets.

Culligan Water has a comprehensive range of drinking water systems that are certified and approved under both International and Australian Standards. The range includes budget priced systems starting at $475 (fully installed) that remove chlorine, bad tastes and odours as well as harmful contaminants such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia to systems that remove dissolved metals and minerals such as mercury, arsenic and fluoride.

Culligan systems hide neatly under the sink and are easy to maintain. All Culligan drinking water systems are installed by licenced plumbers and come with a full five year warranty.
