Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Filter Service After a Hurricane
Hurricanes can introduce a variety of pollutants into the water supply. Our Culligan professionals will service your under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) system to make sure it’s providing the highest quality filtration.

In some cases, replacing the filters or membranes may be required to restore optimal water purification.

This service is especially important for homes that may have been impacted by flooding, which can bring unexpected contaminants into the water supply.
FAQ
Water Safety After A Hurricane in Sebring, FL
How soon after a hurricane should I have my water system inspected?
It’s recommended to have your water softener, reverse osmosis system, or whole house filter inspected as soon as it’s safe after the storm. Flooding and debris can quickly impact water quality, and an early inspection will help prevent potential issues.
Can my water softener be damaged by flooding?
Yes, flooding can affect the electrical components and the resin bed inside your water softener. If floodwaters have reached your unit, it’s important to have it inspected by a Culligan technician to determine if repairs or sanitization are needed.
Will my reverse osmosis system still work after a hurricane?
While reverse osmosis systems are built to filter water effectively, hurricanes can introduce sediment, contaminants, and storm runoff that may clog the filters or damage the membrane. Having your RO system checked and serviced post-hurricane is essential to ensure it continues to provide safe drinking water.
How can I tell if my whole house filter needs servicing after a storm?
If you notice reduced water pressure, unusual smells, or discoloration in your water after a hurricane, it’s a sign that your whole house filter may need servicing. Culligan can inspect your system and replace any filters affected by the storm.
Do I need to replace my water filters after a hurricane?
In many cases, yes. Hurricanes can introduce higher levels of sediment and contaminants into the water supply, which can clog or damage your filters. Culligan technicians will assess whether your filters need replacing to ensure your water is safe.
Is my tap water safe to drink after a hurricane?
After a hurricane, it’s vital to verify the safety of your tap water. Local authorities typically issue boil water advisories if the water supply has been compromised. Always look for official communication from the local Water Department or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before consuming tap water.
What should I do if my water tastes or smells strange after the hurricane?
If you notice unusual tastes or odors in your water post-hurricane, it may indicate contamination. Discontinue use and contact local water authorities for guidance. Additionally, check your Culligan treatment systems to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Can flooding affect my home’s plumbing system?
Yes, flooding can seriously impact your plumbing system, leading to potential contamination and structural damage. If your home has been flooded, consult a professional plumber to inspect and assess the integrity of your plumbing.
How often should I replace water filters after a hurricane?
Following a hurricane, it’s advised to replace your water filters more frequently, especially if they were submerged in contaminated water. Always adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations for filter changes; Culligan may recommend more frequent changes during compromised conditions.
What are the signs of water contamination post-hurricane?
Signs of water contamination can include discoloration, an unusual odor, or a change in taste. If you experience any of these issues, refrain from using the water and consult your local water authority for advice.
Will my Culligan water treatment system still work after a hurricane?
Most Culligan products should remain intact after a storm, but it’s crucial to check for physical damage. For reverse osmosis systems and water softeners, inspect components and ensure no debris has entered the system. A professional inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
