Culligan drinking water systems can remove a wide range of contaminants including chlorine, lead, arsenic, nitrates, bacteria, viruses, and many other dissolved solids. The specific contaminants removed depend on the type of system you choose.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a filtration process that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane has tiny pores that allow water molecules to pass through while blocking larger contaminant molecules, resulting in purified drinking water.
