Customer care and FAQs

While many of our machines have antibacterial surface protection, it is important to regularly clean your Culligan Quench machine’s surface to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses. We recommend wiping the entire surface of your Culligan Quench machine, paying special attention to the dispense area and buttons, with a nonabrasive disinfecting household cleaning spray or wipe.

The frequency your filter(s) are changed is determined by the type of water cooler and filter(s) you are using. However, Culligan Quench will typically change your filter(s) once every 12 months.

If you need your cooler moved, Culligan Quench will send a trained technician to move your cooler properly. Additional fees may apply. Please click here to create a request.

The light on your water cooler blinks when the UV light is sanitizing the water inside your tank.

Some Culligan Quench water coolers are equipped with leak detection. The leak detection may have detected moisture in the bottom of the water cooler. This is often caused by an overflowing drip tray, or excess condensation in the water cooler. Troubleshooting instructions are below:

• Unplug the water cooler.
• Remove the drip tray and front panel.
• Wipe the bottom of the cooler with a paper towel.
• Let air dry for 30 minutes.
• Plug the water cooler back in.

Drip trays on most Culligan Quench water coolers are not drains and may need to be emptied periodically.

Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot your water cooler:

• Check to see if water will come out of your sink to ensure the water to the building has not been shut off.
• Check the water line (the tubing connected to the water cooler) to ensure the line is not pinched.
• Check the ball valves (the valves along the water line) to ensure they are in the “on” position; the switch should be parallel to the water line.
• Try again to dispense water from the water cooler.

In the U.S., water with TDS of 400 ppm (parts per million) often has a detectable “off” odor or taste. Culligan Quench recommends reverse osmosis filtration for customers who rely on well water or have tap water with TDS levels of 400 ppm or higher.

Culligan Quench’s standard 5-step carbon filtration does not remove fluoride from tap water. However, reverse osmosis filtration does remove fluoride, and is optional on most Quench water coolers. The choice is yours!

If you have more questions about removing fluoride from your water, please click here to schedule an appointment with one of our water experts.

A boil advisory or alert is often issued when levels of microbial contaminants in the main water supply are at unsafe levels. You should stop using your Culligan Quench machine for the period of the boil alert. Please shut off water to the machine by turning the valve to the OFF position and unplugging the machine from the electrical outlet.

Follow all instructions issued by your state or local authorities. When the boil advisory has been lifted, Culligan Quench will service your machine, including sanitizing the tanks and replacing the filter, to ensure that the unit has not been affected by microbial contamination.

Municipal water is typically only 20 gallons per penny. It’s by far your least expensive utility. Adding filtered coolers usually will not change your water bill by more than 25 cents TOTAL per month, or less than $3.00 for the entire year! The electrical usage is equivalent to energy usage of bottled water coolers, which is approximately $3.50/month.

Unfortunately, no. We offer Culligan Quench office coffee brewers and supplies only in combination with a Culligan Quench filtered water cooler, sparkling water dispenser, and/or ice machine.

No, Culligan Quench takes the proper precautions to prevent any exposure to mercury. While UV light bulbs do contain low levels of mercury vapor, the mercury vapor is isolated from exposure by a lamp envelope and a lamp sleeve and is not released while the bulb is in use. The energy from the UV light interacts with the mercury vapor to kill germs. The only possible exposure to the mercury vapor would be when the lamp envelope and lamp sleeve are broken. To prevent the UV light bulbs from breaking, our service technicians replace the UV light bulbs once a year during the preventative maintenance routine.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology that removes dissolved solids from drinking water. Dissolved solids are small organic and inorganic particles that are suspended in water. Dissolved solids vary by location, but include chemicals like salts, calcium, and phosphates. Water with high total dissolved solids (TDS) levels often appear cloudy and can have “off” odors. Culligan Quench recommends reverse osmosis filtration for customers who rely on well water or have tap water with TDS levels of 400 ppm or higher. RO technology is optional on all coolers. All RO-equipped water coolers require a drain line.

If you would like to learn more about RO technology, please read our RO article.

Culligan Quench makes every aspect of supplying your office with fresh water as easy as possible. This includes offering ACH or electronic payments so that you can set up payment and forget it.

Absolutely. The cost, convenience, and environmental savings are substantial and grow exponentially over time.

You bet. Traditional water delivery services rely on 5-gallon plastic jugs. In just one year, the manufacturing of those plastic jugs, the process of bottling the water, and then trucking it to you

• Uses 140 million kilowatt hours of electricity
• Burns 6 million gallons of fuel
• Dumps 70 million pounds of plastic waste into landfills
• Wastes millions of gallons of water

Culligan Quench filtered water coolers, on the other hand, have a positive impact. Replacing just one traditional 5-gallon jug cooler is the greenhouse gas equivalent of planting up to 120 trees each year.
