How to treat PFOA, PFOS, and PFC in Your Drinking Water
Does your water…
Taste “off” or “funny”?
Look cloudy or otherwise not crystal-clear?
Have an unpleasant odor?
Or, have your water bills increased unexpectedly – for no obvious reason?
If so, these are signs that you might have an issue going on in your water that you need to get tested.
PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid or perfluorooctanoate) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are chemicals that have been used in the United States since the 1940s in the manufacturing of popular consumer goods including Teflon, pesticides, household cleaning products, and other other items.
[PFOA and PFOS] are “extremely persistent in the environment and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes. They are widely distributed across the higher trophic levels and are found in soil, air and groundwater at sites across the United States. The toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential of PFOS and PFOA pose potential adverse effects for the environment and human health.
The EPA has released a Drinking Water Advisory for PFOS which reveals potentially serious issues linking PFOS and PFOA to conditions like cancer, neuroendocrine conditions, cardiovascular problems, reproductive issues, and more.
If you suspect you have PFOA or PFC in your drinking water it’s important that you get your water tested. We can help you navigate that process with the proper state agencies.

I have been a customer of Culligan of Madelia for over 20 years. They are always so helpful and so quick to get out and service our equipment if needed. I can't ever say thank you enough. Wonderful people and service techs and so friendly. THANK YOU!!
Their service and knowledge are unbeatable! The addition of the water dispensers outside is amazing. It is the only water we drink because we know exactly what we’re getting.
Very helpful and friendly!! They do an excellent job, whether you go in or have service at your house or place of business. They have many options and walk you through whats best for your situation. I highly recommend.
I dealt with Mike, and Carmen and they were absolutely amazing in addressing my water issues and my water needs. The prices were incredibly reasonable in comparison to other places. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Culligan's in fairmont mn!!
Friendly, helpful! Fantastic people on phone and in home help!!! We needed salt this week. Due to health issues, we could not do this ourselves. It was delivered and put in the softener. We are very thankful for these people and the services they provide.
I called late in the afternoon to say that my softener was not working properly. I had a technician out first thing in the morning and within less than 5 minutes he knew what was wrong and updated the program! The softener has been working perfectly since. Thank you!! Highly recommend Culligan for your needs.
We've had nothing but good experiences with Culligan of Madelia. The office staff is friendly as are the delivery people. Very happy with their services!
Our old brand X water softener quit working after just a few years. I contacted Mike, who showed me a softener that was available in a size that fit our needs. After discussing pricing, I decided on a unit and asked when he could install it. He said that he could install it yet that day. From this point forward I am a loyal Culligan customer for life. It was a pleasure doing business with Mike and the ladies in the office
I take care of my brother from another state. I have called them and they have helped my brother out with water and salt. They are very friendly and helpfull
A great staff and excellent service. Have had both the water softener and RO drinking water system for many years now. We purchased the water softener and it has been great. Uses very little salt! The RO system I prefer to rent as they handle all the filter replacements, annual cleaning etc. I added the extra alkaline and mineral cartridges so it's good for drinking. We have great water thanks to Culligan. Did I mention we love the staff!!!!
Talk with Dave one of the owners I’ve known for years. Told him our issues as we live in the country with a well and hard water. Told him the system we have from Garlicks that has not worked since we have had it and was very expensive. Gary their employee came out and gave us his opinion on what was needed and within a week was out yesterday afternoon and put in a new iron filter OX5 single unit. We had a twin tank previous and had nothing but issues from day one. Low water pressure stinky water and iron residue that never could get fixed correctly. This system was almost double the price of Cilligan 18 years later. We tested it out last night with 2 showers going 2 toilets flushed wash machine filling all at the same time. NEVER would imagine being able to do that ever. We could only take 1 shower PERIOD !!Give them a call they will treat you with the best equipment and with an awesome sales guys and Gary the go to guy !!Thank you very much !! Our family of 6 is happy with a working water system for once !!
Love the worry free service. They deliver, they service, and they follow-up. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They keep our service on schedule. We live in a very rural, small town area. They provide dependable service.
Becky in the Jackson office always treats you like a friend. Heather answering the service call, was a professional and helped set up the paperless billing. Culligan is very lucky to have two exceptional people. Becky and Heather, working for them and keeping the customers happy.
Everything from reasonably priced services to friendly and helpful personnel can be found here. I've had nothing but positive interaction from office staff to delivery drivers.
The delivery and filling my salt tank is the best. Keeping a schedule of when they need to stop by keeps me from having to worry about not having soft water. Any time there is a need for repair the technician is readily available and is normally able to come the next day after you call if not the same day.
Whenever I call for more salt, Becky is very helpful and pleasant! I usually have softener salt within a day or two. The person delivering is always friendly and efficient!!
Easy to work with and convenient. They dropped off our order at our designated site and follow up with a phone call and email confirmation. Excellent service, would use again.
I dont have to worry about never having soft water because I ran out of salt AND I dont have to carry heavy salt bags down to the softener in the basement. Hassle and worry free. LOVE IT
I had to switch from Marshall to a local water softener supplier and Denny was a gentleman through the entire process! If I lived closer to Marshall I would have stayed with them, without a doubt!
Dont have to walk thru a grocery store with my jugs. Just drive up & its 14 cents cheaper a gallon than where I get it in Lake Crystal. The only down side is if you just want to fill an off size bottle there's waste because it's in gallon increments only.
Denny and his Crew are Awesome to work with. Every time there was a question or problem, they were always so quick to respond, answer, & resolve the issue. I highly recommend their products and services!
