Culligan Water Helps Homeowners Tackle Water Softening and Filtration Needs
ROSEMONT, Ill, Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fall is the perfect season to enjoy apple picking, pie making and everything pumpkin spice. The cooler weather will have many finding themselves embarking on fall foliage hikes and festive hayrides. It’s also the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and tackle those home maintenance projects you put off all summer long.
“Conducting routine home maintenance checks is a great way to ensure that you home is looking and operating its best as we head into the cooler weather months,” said Judd Larned, President, Culligan Water. “From having your water tested to changing furnace filters and cleaning gutters, fall is a great time to tackle these to-dos.”
Here are six projects that can help keep your home operating in top shape well beyond when the last leaf of the season falls:
Paint the exterior. Paint is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to have your home looking fresh in no time. Early fall is one of the best times to paint because there is minimal rain and less fluctuation of temperatures from day to night. This will ensure that paint goes on smoothly and has adequate time to dry properly. Start selecting the ideal color and gathering paint supplies now so that when that perfect fall day arrives, you are ready to start painting.
Clean out gutters. From late winter to early summer, gutters get clogged with everything from leaves and branches to dirt and debris. Get your gutters ready for fall rain and winter snow now so that they are functioning properly once inclement weather arrives.
Soften your water for longer lasting appliances. Your home’s dishwasher, washing machine, and hot water heater all require water to function. If you have hard water running through your pipes, it can cause a buildup of calcium and magnesium when heated. For your appliances, this means major inefficiencies. Appliances will require more water to complete their duties, costing more money. Not to mention, build-ups can cause corrosion which can lead to a shorter lifespan for water-using appliances. With soft water, your appliances can remain in good health. In fact, a Water Quality Association study found that soft water successfully prolongs the efficiency of water heaters over a 9-month period. Culligan’s Aquasential® Smart High Efficiency (HE) Water Softener offers high-efficiency water softening for your home and is regarded as the world’s most efficient water softener*. It can optimize salt, water, and electricity, with smart features that let you track water usage & set goals and receive service notifications like low salt alerts. Now through October 15, homeowners that select a Culligan HE Water Softener for their home can do so for $9.95 per month for the first three months. Dealer participation may vary.
Draft proof your home. Check your windows, doors and attic for air leakage that can cause unwanted drafts and utilities bills to rise. Consider options like adding a door snake, caulking windows, or even adding insulation to the attic. This will eliminate unwanted cold air from entering the home and keep those heating bills under control.
Test and filter your drinking water. Because water contamination can happen at any time and/or through a local municipality, an underground well or a homeowner’s own pipes, it is important to have your water tested by an expert who can determine the necessary steps to eliminate any harmful impurities that may be present. Water treatment solutions, such as reverse osmosis systems and specialty filters, reduce specific impurities that may be found in your water. Look for options that offer multiple stages of filtration, like the Culligan Aquasential® Smart Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System which is generally regarded as the World’s Most Efficient RO Drinking Water System.** With up to seven stages of filtration and 12 different filter options, it is certified to reduce 59 contaminants including lead, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and PFOA/PFOS plus 15 emerging contaminants that may be in your water. The Aquasential Smart RO is also being offered for $9.95 per month for the first three months through October 15. “With the Aquasential Smart RO, homeowners can have peace of mind with an unlimited supply of great-tasting, cleaner, safer water,” said Larned.
Check your furnace filter. If the filters are dirty, your furnace has to work harder. Regularly changing the filters in your central air and heating system can significantly improve its efficiency and longevity, while easing the pressure on your wallet. In most homes, filters should be changed monthly in the heating season. You should also have your furnace serviced periodically to make sure it is working properly.

Europe's worst drought in years has pushed the mighty river Danube to one of its lowest levels in almost a century, exposing the hulks of dozens of explosives-laden German warships sunk during World War Two near Serbia's river port town of Prahovo. The vessels were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany's Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces, and still hamper river traffic during low water levels. However, this year's drought - viewed by scientists as a consequence of global warming - has exposed more than 20 hulks on a stretch of the Danube near Prahovo in eastern Serbia, many of which still contain tonnes of ammunition and explosives and pose a danger to shipping.

When Stephen Nixon recently noticed a “beautiful” spotted lanternfly by his bag as he skateboarded in Brooklyn, he heeded the request of city officials. Kill-on-sight requests in New York City and elsewhere are a part of public campaigns to fight an invasive insect now massing and feeding on plants around much of the eastern United States. Pretty with red wing markings, the spotted lanternfly is nonetheless a nuisance and a threat — the sort of insect that inspires people to post about squishing and stomping them on social media.

CHONGQING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Residents living near a tributary of the Yangtze river in the southwestern region of Chongqing clambered along the dry riverbed on Thursday amid an unprecedented drought across the region that could last another month. Though not completely dried up, dead fish were visible on the exposed flats of the Jialing, a long winding tributary that flows through three provinces before joining the Yangtze in Chongqing. China warned on Wednesday that the severe dry spell along the Yangtze could last well into September as local governments race to maintain power and find fresh water to irrigate crops ahead of the autumn harvest.
