Culligan Water Softener Repair - Indianapolis/Fishers

Fishers, IN · Member since 2015 · 42 posts · 17 votes

Good morning! My water softener at my rental property in Fishers is not working (salt has not lowered in months). I want to have someone look at it and wanted to see if anyone knew someone or are that someone. If so, please advise. I appreciate the help!

Call The Culligan Man?

@Account Closed absolutely I did call them; however, others have told me it is better to have a local service man. Perhaps they were mistaken because I have found all costs to be around the same.

Do you know it's not working because the water is hard, or because the salt isn't moving? If the latter, check for a salt bridge - the salt on top will get hard and stuck, leaving a hole underneath. Get a stick and smash the salt up to be sure it's falling properly to the bottom.

Take it out, it will just be a continuos source of maintenance. It probably adds no rent value. I always rip them out when I buy a new place.

@JD Martin Great advice! I will definitely look into it. I appreciate the input.
@Joe Splitrock The water in Fishers is really hard and without the water softener the Water Heaters do not last long. I do not know anyone in the neighborhood without one; however, if not for the extreme hard water, I would remove the softener due to the continuous source of maintenance you referred to above. Appreciate the post!

Brandon, send me a PM if you want some help walking through checking it out yourself. I had a lot of experience with softeners when I worked plumbing years ago in college.
