Common water problems in Marion
Chlorine water problems
Municipalities often use chlorine to disinfect municipal water supplies, leaving it safe to drink but with a strong smell and taste. Many factors can impact the strength of the chlorine smell - the distance between the public water source and your house, the temperature of the water and how long it's been exposed to air. Learn more about chlorine water.
Common chlorine water problems include:
- A "bleachy" or swimming pool smell
- A bitter, metallic or disinfectant like taste
- Dry, itchy skin
- Brittle, damaged hair
High iron water problems
Iron enters the water supply from a variety of sources - the soil around private wells, corrosion in the pipes themselves and organically occurring reactions with elements in the water. Learn more about high iron water.
Common high iron problems include:
- Rusty, red-brown stains on your fixtures, sinks and tubs
- Rusty stains or residue on laundry
- Yellow, brown, red or orange-colored water
- Metallic tasting water
- Certain foods prepared in water turning black -potatoes and teas are commonly affected
Smelly water problems
Before your water enters your home, it can pick up smelly contaminants - from the soil around private wells, miles of underground utility pipes or even the local municipal water source itself. You may not be able to see these contaminants, but as soon as you turn on the tap or lift a glass to your face, something is obviously not right. Learn more about smelly water.
Common water odor problems include:
- A "rotten-egg" odor due to hydrogen sulfide in the soil near your well
- A musty, woody smell due to organic contaminants like algae or total dissolved solids (TDS)
- A "bleachy" smell due to chlorine added in by municipalities
- A soapy or chemical smell due to contaminated private wells

Their service manager Bryan Osborn is a great guy. He's willing to go out of his way to help you. I'd use Culligan just because of him! I highly recommend him and Culligan.

Josh stopped on a weekend to check the water and water softener. I thought it wasn't working appropriately. After testing the water and assessing the softener, he made a couple of adjustments and said it is fully functional. Should last many more years.
He was honest and didn't take advantage of the situation. No charge for the time spent checking...

I am very, very happy with the installation and service that I have received from Culligan of Cedar Rapids!
My old soft water conditioner had finally given out, so I did quite a bit of online work to find a replacement!
A lot of companies are capable of providing a great product, but I didn't want my water-softening system to come from a Big Box...
