Our History
A Legacy in the Water Business
How it all Started
William 'Bill' Denton joined Culligan as a Portable Tank Delivery person in 1958.
Throughout the years, he worked his way up, becoming General Manager in 1980.
In his time with Culligan-Indianapolis, he became a Certified Water Specialist (CWS-1) through the National Water Quality Association.
In the 10 years before he passed, Bill was one of the most prominent DI Portable Education Plant Designers in the world. He helped to design over 40 DI Plants for Culligan USA.
The Work Continues
Bill passed his love of water along to his son, Terry Denton.
In 1973, Terry went to work for Culligan as a DI Plant Technician.
In 1985, Terry stepped into the world of sales. He became a Certified Water Specialist (CWS-1) in 1986. By 1993, Terry had achieved all six levels of certification.
Today, he is designated as a Master Water Specialist and a CWS-6.
Terry began his own company in 2003. Today, they are one of two companies in the US that offers Salt-Free Water Systems.
