Challenged in Chicago
Brand new DIYer!
Figured the title would cover so many areas!
I have a Culligan Mark 89 - model 3526. I "inherited" it with my house, which I purchased in 2007. A while ago, the water from the softener would continuously run. I turned it off and called a plumber.
Plumber said water is only borderline hard & perhaps can get by without a softener. Decided I did not agree. Called Culligan, but even after two attempts, tech never showed.
I have absolutely no clue about water softeners - other than knowing I want to have one that works!
Is the water running problem a common one? Is it relatively simple/inexpensive to address? Or should I be considering a new unit?
BTW, house was built in 2001. Not exactly sure how old the water softener actually is...sure there is a manufacture date somewhere on the unit?
In advance, thanks for any input or suggestions!
