Culligan: Revolutionizing Water Quality in Front Royal for Over 60 Years

Culligan Water of Front Royal has been a staple of the community for more than six decades, transforming the way local residents view and consume water. From its roots as a bottled water delivery service to its current role as a comprehensive water treatment provider, Culligan has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers.

Owner Gary Keats recently spoke with the Royal Examiner about Culligan’s services, the importance of water quality, and the company’s commitment to innovative solutions for local water concerns.

A Legacy of Service

Culligan of Front Royal serves four counties: Warren, Fauquier, Page, and Rappahannock. “Taking care of customers is our number one priority,” Keats explained. From town water to private wells, Culligan provides tailored solutions for a variety of water quality challenges, including hardness, iron, sulfur, and more.

Despite advancements in municipal water treatment, water quality issues persist. Even Front Royal’s upgraded system, which removed contaminants like estrogen and phosphorus, now faces the challenge of microplastics. “Culligan is addressing that,” Keats confirmed, highlighting the company’s innovative whole-house systems designed to meet upcoming EPA standards.

The Hidden Threat: Microplastics

Microplastics, invisible yet pervasive, are a growing concern. According to Keats, 98% of blood samples tested in the United States contain microplastics. These particles originate from sources like Teflon and industrial dumping, sometimes miles away from affected water supplies.

Culligan’s new systems are designed to combat these contaminants, removing up to 99.9% of microplastics. The systems, rigorously tested for performance, provide peace of mind for customers concerned about the unseen dangers in their water.

Tailored Solutions for Every Home

Water quality can vary dramatically—even between neighboring wells. Whether the issue is hardness, acidity, or contamination, Culligan customizes its treatment options.

The process begins with a free water analysis. Technicians test for pH, hardness, iron, sulfur, and more, then recommend systems suited to the household’s specific needs. Culligan offers flexible purchasing options, including rentals and interest-free financing.

Modern Technology Meets Practical Solutions

Culligan has embraced cutting-edge technology to enhance the user experience. Its systems feature smart technology that adjusts to changes in water quality automatically. Customers can even monitor their systems via smartphone, receiving maintenance or supply needs alerts.

This innovation ensures efficiency and minimizes service disruptions. “If there’s a problem, we know before the customer does,” Keats said, emphasizing Culligan’s proactive approach.

More Than Clean Water

The benefits of water treatment extend beyond taste. Softened water improves the performance of household appliances, from water heaters to washing machines. Keats shared a striking example: “We opened a customer’s water heater, and literal rocks poured out.” Culligan systems prevent such build-up, extending the life of plumbing and appliances.

Culligan’s services also make everyday tasks more enjoyable. The difference is noticeable, from clear ice cubes to brighter laundry. For those who rely on bottled water, Culligan offers systems that eliminate the need for single-use plastics, saving money and reducing waste.

A Personal Touch

Keats’ journey into the water treatment business was inspired by a desire to help others. “I’ve always enjoyed taking care of people,” he shared. That passion is evident in Culligan’s commitment to educating customers about water quality and offering solutions that make a lasting impact.

With locations in Front Royal, Gloucester, and Virginia Beach, Culligan serves a diverse range of communities. Whether addressing rural well water or urban municipal supplies, the company’s expertise ensures clean, safe water for all.
