Kind Words from Satisfied Customers

"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Culligan's reverse osmosis with distilled cartridge to any dental practice.

I was frustrated with having to allow time for a staff member to go to the store for bottles of distilled water. It was time-consuming and took time away from patient care. The new system in our office was easily installed & has eliminated those worries. There is a special tap for the water that our assistants use when filling our sterilization equipment. It is SO easy!

Not only are the fees for the service affordable, but the relief of not having to run weekly errands is priceless." ~ Deborah B.


"After being without a softener for about a month while moving, I could really see why we needed it. The taste bothered me and the lime build up on the sink was difficult to deal with. Did not want that build up in our new home." ~ Matt H.

Problems a Water Softener May Be Able to Solve

If you are tired of having dry skin, spots on your glassware, and stiff laundry, there may be a simple solution to all of these problems. Culligan high efficiency water softeners can help you. Our quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to describe a few common household problems a water softener may be able to solve for you.

Problems a Water Softener May Be Able to Solve

Water Problem # 1

Soap Scum/Lime Buildup

Soap scum and lime build up are the residues that you see left behind on faucets, in your tub and in your sinks. It’s caused by hard water and can be damaging to your pipes and fixtures.

Water Problem # 2
Dry Skin/Hair

Hard water will clog your pores, leaving your skin dry and itchy. Your hair can also become damaged and unmanageable due to hard water.

Water Problem # 3
Spots on Glass/Cloudy Glassware

Hard water will leave your glasses spotted and dirty looking even when they come straight out of the dishwasher.

Water Problem # 4
Stiff Laundry

Calcium and Magnesium in your water can cause your laundry to become stiff or hard. A Culligan Water Softener will not only make your water softer, but also reduce your detergent use.

Water Problem # 5
Constant Plumbing Issues

Hard water and steel pipes don’t work well together. The hard water can cause limescale to buildup in your pipes and your water won’t be able to flow through them as well. This can cause water leakage in your washing machine and dishwasher valves. Having a water softener can help prevent these problems from happening.

Water Problem # 6
A Very High Water Bill

If your pipes are having to work harder to get your water to flow through them, then you likely have a higher water bill. Culligan offers a FREE water analysis that can tell you what’s in your water and making it flow so poorly. If you have hard water, a water softener is likely to help lower your bill.

Water Problem # 7
Rusty Stains on Sinks and Bathtubs

Iron is one of the most common types of problems in water and can leave your fixtures and tubs with rust stains. Culligan has solutions geared towards removing the iron from your water.

Let a Culligan High Efficiency Water Softener Make Your Life Easier!

If you are having some of these common water problems occur in your home, give us a call. We can set up a FREE in-home water test for you and find out what exactly is in your tap water. We may find that you have hard water and a water softener could be the best solution. If that's the case, check out our Culligan High Efficiency Water Softeners.

What is Your Water Doing to Your Laundry?

Are you tired of your clothes coming out of the laundry all stiff and hard? The calcium and magnesium in your water can cause your laundry to stiffen. When you have hard water, a number of problems can arise with your laundry. Hard water is the result of mineral buildup in your city or well water, most commonly from calcium and lime. It can reduce the quality of water in your home and may also be driving up your water bills, cleaning costs and more.  Our quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to go over some of the problems that can happen and give you a solution to those problems.

Possible Laundry Problems Due to Hard Water

Your Clothes May Be Hard or Stiff

You spend your hard earned money on your clothes, so when you wash them, you want them to still be at good quality by the time they're done. As stated earlier, the magnesium and calcium in your water hard water can make your clothes hard.

Your Clothes May Lose Their Brightness

When you have hard water, those once bright shirts that you loved so much can turn dull or even gray. Hard water can have a significant affect on your wardrobe.

Your Clothes May Tear

Hard water can be so harsh on your clothes that it can even cause them to tear at times. No one wants to pull their favorite shirt out of the dryer and find a bunch of holes and rips in it.

Your Colored Clothes May Have White or Gray Streaks

The mineral build up in your hard water can cause your colored clothes to have white or gray streaks on them. How embarrassing would that be to walk into work with a gray streak down your top?

What Can a Culligan Water Softener Do For You?

A Culligan water softener can not only help the overall quality of your clothes but can also reduce your detergent use. With a Culligan High Efficiency Water Softener, you'll have the world's most efficient water softener. It can save you up to 46% on operating costs including energy, water and cleaning products, including soaps and detergents. It is about more than energy efficiency - it's about intelligence. While using up to 50% less salt, the HE lets you know how many days remain until you need to refill it with salt. Our Aqua-Sensor® technology automatically detects changes in your water conditions and makes softening adjustments accordingly. You can even install an optional modem that will tell your Lake of the Ozarks Culligan dealer directly if salt or service is needed. If you're ready to have your water problems solved, call your Culligan Man at 573-346-5221. He can recommend a water softener that works for you and your family. The Culligan water softener is the Lake of the Ozarks preferred choice.

Possible Problems with Your Dog’s Drinking Water

Our dogs are like family. If we have quality drinking water, why shouldn’t they? Dogs are drinking less than quality water more than you might think and it could lead to health problems you don’t want for your furry friend. The good news is there is a solution to this problem. Your quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few possible examples of problems that could be associated with your dog’s water. To get quality water for your four legged family member, call Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Possible Problems with Your Dog's Drinking Water

Having quality drinking water on a day to day basis is a must for your dog's health. Without water, your dog could get dehydrated, which could lead to serious health issues for your dog. Water makes up 80 percent of your dog’s body. Your dog may be dehydrated if you notice one of the following signs:

• Depression
• Sunken eyes
• Dry mouth
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite

Too often dogs are getting water from the wrong sources and preventing your dog from reaching water from these types of sources can improve their health.

Poor Sources for Your Dog’s Drinking Water

• Toilet

Keep your toilet closed! Not only is the water in there bad for your dog, but if your dog gets stuck there is a possibility he or she could drown.

• Dirty puddles

You clearly wouldn’t want to drink from a dirty puddle so why should your dog? There could be all sorts of bacteria and germs in that water that your dog could be assuming.

• Tap water

Your tap water could have chemicals in it that are harmful to your dog. To see what’s in your tap water, try our free water test. To schedule a free water analysis with your Culligan Man, visit http://culliganpro.com/free-in-home-water-test.

• The Lake

Most people know not to drink lake water, but your dog doesn’t necessarily know. The lake could contain many harmful bacteria that could make your four legged friend sick, so it’s best to keep him or her away from the lake water.

• Garden Hose

The garden hose is using your tap water. See above for why your dog shouldn’t drink tap water.

• Public dog bowls at dog parks

You never know what dogs have drank out of the public dog bowl at the dog park. They could have been sick and spread their germs/illness through that bowl a number of times. Carry a spare source of water for your dog when you go to the dog park, bring a portable dog bowl and a bottle of quality drinking water.

Have Quality Water With Your Christmas Meal

Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks hopes everyone had a HAPPY Thanksgiving. Before you know it, Christmas will be here. Our quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks wants everyone to be able to have quality drinking water with their Christmas meal. You will often find yourself cooking with water, so it's important to have quality water in the kitchen. Here are a couple of GREAT Christmas recipes we found that contain water. We hope you enjoy them!

Have Quality Water With Your Christmas Meal

Source: http://makinglemonadeblog.com/best-christmas-punch-recipe-santas-little-helper/

BEST CHRISTMAS PUNCH RECIPE: SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER!

1 bottle of champagne (OR use a lemon-lime soda like Sierra Mist to make it non-alcoholic)
1 bottle of Cranberry Juice Blend
1 cup of sugar (try to use superfine sugar if you can find it)
1 c. frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
1 c. frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
ice
water (for amount, see below)
garnishes: lemon slices, cranberries, fresh rosemary sprigs


INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the champagne and the cranberry juice blend. Add the sugar, and stir vigorously until combined. Add the thawed concentrates, stir. If you want a strong punch you can leave as is and just add some ice. You may wish to dilute with up to three cups of water (add water to taste) depending on your personal preference. Remember adding ice will also dilute the punch a bit so don't go overboard on both ice and water. :) Add your garnishes-- a bag of fresh cranberries, lemon slices (wash the lemons well if including the peels), perhaps a sprig of fresh rosemary or two for a fresh kick.

** Note: You can also make this ahead of time-- simply add all ingredients EXCEPT the garnishes and bubbly (either champagne or soda). Refrigerate for a few hours and add the remaining ingredients when guests arrive. **


Who doesn't love a good Christmas stew?

Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting headaches throughout the day or why you just feel unenergetic most of the time? If this sounds like you, consider drinking more water. Many people probably don't realize they are not drinking enough quality water at the Lake of the Ozarks each day. Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks found this fantastic article by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that we think may help people to understand when they may need to drink more water and how they should go about doing so.

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/nutrition/index.html

Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking when thirsty and drinking with meals. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as celery, tomatoes, or melons can contribute to fluid intake.

Water helps your body:

• Keep your temperature normal
• Lubricate and cushion joints
• Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues
• Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements

Your body needs more water when you are:

• In hot climates
• More physically active
• Running a fever
• Having diarrhea or vomiting

If you think you are not getting enough water, these tips may help:

• Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work of running errands.
• Freeze some freezer safe water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water all day long.
• Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. This can also help with weight management. Substituting water for one 20-ounce sugar sweetened soda will save you about 240 calories. For example, during the school day students should have access to drinking water, giving them a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages.

• Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.
• Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water. This can help improve the taste and help you drink more water than you usually do.

"Drink more water - Acts like an appetite suppressant, keeps you hydrated, helps flush out toxins, zero calories." - MotiveWeight

Thanksgiving Recipes That Include Water

Who doesn't love a good chicken or turkey gravy to pour over your mashed potatoes or stuffing?

Source: How Sweet Eats

HOW TO MAKE GRAVY

yield: I'D SAY THIS SERVES ABOUT 8 PEOPLE GENEROUSLY (TOTALLY DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU LOVE GRAVY)
total time: 15 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

the drippings from a turkey, chicken, etc (be sure to add extra stock BEFORE roasting if desired)
16 ounces cold water
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper!!!

DIRECTIONS:


Strain the drippings from the roasting pan into a large pot or saucepan and set it over medium heat. Add the cold water to a shaker bottle (or water bottle/mason jar) and add the flour on top. Shake the heck out of it for 30 to 60 seconds, until the flour seems completely incorporated and creates a slurry. With a whisk or fork in one hand, pour the slurry into the drippings, sitting constantly with the other hand. Continue to stir to avoid any lumps and stir until the gravy has thickened, anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure you are scraping the bottom of the pan.

Taste the gravy and season it to your liking. Set it over low heat for serving. Like soups and sauces, it often tastes better the next day!

Here is a good way you can think about it. The more you exercise continuously, the more your body will crave healthier foods and water. Also, if you burn lots of calories, you can feel less guilty about eating a piece of candy because it won't be as bad as if you weren't working out.

3. Keep eating healthy.

Halloween brings the temptation, sweets are everywhere! However, you can still remain healthy. If you are trying to diet, just continue to eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner and have health snacks at the ready. Your co-workers may bring in Halloween treats, so just try to keep some healthy snacks in your desk drawer.

4. Chew gum.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum can be a low-calorie way of dealing with your sweet cravings? BONUS TIP: Studies also show that chewing gum can lower stress.

5. Try savoring 1 piece of candy per day.

If you are MUST have your candy and after following these tips, you still can't resist your cravings, that's ok. Just exercise the practice of portion control Try limiting yourself to one piece of candy per day, but when you eat it, eat it slowly. Savor it! Eating slowly can actually trick your body into feeling fuller faster.

What Type Of Water Should Be Used When Preparing Baby Formula?

Congratulations! You've just had a new baby and you have decided to feed your new bundle of joy baby formula. It's important to know that the chemicals and minerals that are often found in usual drinking water may not be right for your baby at such a young age. Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few guidelines to follow when trying to ensure your baby stays healthy while drinking formula.

Guidelines to Follow When Trying to Ensure Your Baby Stays Healthy While Drinking Formula

Decide on the Right Water to Use with Baby Formula

Before you decide on what type of water to mix into  your baby's formula, consult with your doctor. Also, if you are on a public water system, you may be able to with your local water utility company to see how much fluoride is in the water.

Water You Can Use

Bottled water (just for babies)

There is water  out there that is specifically designed to use with baby formula. Of Course, this type of water follows much stricter guidelines.


Tap water

Depending on what are you live in, tap water can be perfectly safe to use. Again, consult with your doctor first before deciding on the water to use with your baby's formula.


Bottled water

If you do choose to use bottled water, be sure you make sure there are no additives. Bottled water may not be sterile, so you may have to boil it, just like you'd boil tap water.

How to Add Water to Your Baby's Formula

When you add water to your baby's formula, be sure to follow the directions that are on the package of the formula. The basic rule of thumb for liquid-concentrate or powdered formulas can just be to:

1. Start with the cold tap water. Let the water run for about 2 minutes to get cold. (The colder the water is, the lower the amount of contaminants you may have in the water.)

2. Pour the cold water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for about a minute, then let the water cool down.

3. Once the water is cooled, you may use it to make the formula.

4. Mix the formula as directed on the package.

3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

There are areas that suffer from drought from time to time, so conserving water is very important. Even if you don't live an area that suffers from drought, using your water wisely can help with your utility bill. In this blog, Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks would like to give you 3 key ways to utilize your water conservatively. 

3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

1. Turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth.

Turn off your water while you are brushing your teeth. Doing this can help you save water. Did you know that the average faucet releases 2 gallons of water per minute? You can save up to 8 gallons of water every day just by turning off your tap while you brush your teeth, at least if you brush you brush your teeth for the recommended 2 minutes. This rule can also go for gentlemen who shave at the sink. Rinse your razor in a pool of water in a plugged sink instead of rinsing it under running water every time.

2. Load your dishwasher correctly.

Loading your dishwasher incorrectly can lead to still-dirty dishes and your dishwasher having to use extra water to wash your dishes. There are wrong ways and right ways to load your dishwasher. For example, some common mistakes when loading your dishwasher can include:

• placing car-covered dishes everywhere
• putting protein-crusted dishes anywhere
• placing your spoons where the tops touch eachother
• overloading your dishwasher
• not following directions

3. Fix your leaky sinks and running toilets.

Did you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day? Also, at one drip per second, a leaky faucet can leak 3,000 gallons in a year. If your toilet is running or your sink is leaking, we recommend you call a plumber as soon as possible. Getting your toilet and sink fixed as soon as possible can not only help prevent a more expensive utility bill, but also it can help prevent even more costly repairs from happening.
