Product Overview:

Hard water is the result of mineral buildup in your city or well water, most commonly from calcium and lime. Hard water can reduce the quality of water in your home and may also be driving up your water bills, cleaning costs and more. The signs of hard water are not always obvious, but can have detrimental effects on your home. Hard water can cause corrosive build of scale from mineral deposits in your pipes. Over time, your pipes can clog, water flow can diminish and water pressure will be reduced. Your local Culligan water expert offers range of water softener products that fits your needs, wallet and for every size of household.

Savings:

The Culligan® High Efficiency Water Softener is the most efficient water softener in the market. You save more on water, salt, and electricity with patented smart technology that makes our high-efficiency water softeners up to 46% more efficient* than other softeners. Not only will you be saving your wallet by reducing water and electricity costs, but you will also be decreasing your home’s environmental footprint.

Intelligence

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.

A general rule of thumb you can follow is either to drink half your bodyweight  in ounces or to try and stick to drinking 8 ounces of water per day. If you have a sweet tooth, however, try drinking hot tea. Hot tea can be a good option when you care craving something sweet.

2. Keep working out.

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.

7 Health Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water You Probably Didn't Know

Did you know that lemon water is surprisingly a healthy internal cleanser to start your day with? It's far better to use real lemon juice, rather than lemon juice concentrate. Natural enzymes, antioxidants, and vitamins can be found in real lemons, so what not squeeze some of that into your daily water? Here are a few benefits Culligan would like to give you that can be gained by drinking lemon water.

Health Benefits of Drinking Lemon Water You Probably Didn't Know

1. Lemon water helps prevent digestive problems

Drinking water can help with digestive problems such as bloating, intestinal gas, and heartburn. Lemon water can stimulate better digestion all around.

2. Lemon water provides a good portion of vitamin C

Lemon water is also a good source of folate and minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

3. Lemon water can contain a powerful cleansing effect on your liver, kidneys, and blood

An overlooked liver can have a significant influence on how good you feel. Cleansing your liver each morning, by drinking some lemon water can make a big difference in your daily energy over an extended period of time.

4. Lemon water can help prevent extreme constipation or diarrhea

Drinking lemon water early in the morning can help prevent constipation or diarrhea.

5. Lemon water can help cure a throat infection

Make a warm, lemon water drink to sip on every couple of hours if you are suffering from a sore throat. 

6. Lemon water can decrease the amount of mucus and phlegm produced in the body.

As you may already know, drinking milk or other dairy products can cause mucus to form in the body, drinking lemon water can help break the mucus down and lessen the mucus levels in your body.

7. Lemon water can help with bad breath.

Are you suffering from bad breath continuously? Have you tried mints, gum, and other things and they just don't seem to work? Try drinking lemon water. Lemon water can help reduce your bad breath. The high antioxidant and antibiotic compounds can possibly also reduce body odor over time. This is just another good reason to start your morning with a nice glass of lemon water.

KEY Benefits of Drinking Water Regularly While You Are Pregnant

You've just received the BIG news! You are having a baby. Congratulations! Your bundle of joy will be here before you know it. How exciting! There are so many tips out there that can help you stay healthy while you are pregnant, but one significant thought are the benefits of drinking water while you are pregnant. In this blog, our quality water company at the Lake of the Ozarks, Culligan would like to give you a few major benefits of drinking water while you are pregnant.

KEY Benefits of Drinking Water While You Are Pregnant

Water Delivers Essential Nutrients To Your Fetus

Water helps your body absorb the essential nutrients into the cells. Water also helps transport vitamins, minerals, and hormones to the blood cells. Basically, the good things in the prenatal vitamins you are taking are being transported to your fetus starting with water.

Your Daily Recommended Water Intake Increases While You Are Pregnant

Normally, you're expected to drink approximately 8 glasses of water a day. When you are pregnant, according to the Institute of Medicine, you should drink 12 glasses of water a day. Try to space out your sips of water, rather than gulping down a large amount all at once. This can help prevent you from feeling nauseous or uncomfortable.

Water Can Help With Fatigue, Overheating and Headaches

When you are pregnant, you can feel hot more often than you did when you were not pregnant. Drinking water regularly can help cool you down. A couple of symptoms of dehydration can be exhaustion and headaches, so drinking water while you are pregnant can help prevent both symptoms from taking place.

Raving Culligan Customer Review of the Day

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.
