Really angry

AI Highlights
  • - They charged $7000 for a $1300 water softener, marketed as filtration.
  • - The unit was installed by the garage door connected to the sprinkler system.

We bought a townhouse with my daughter 2 1/2 years ago. A salesman came and sold our daughter a water filtration system for $7000.

We later found out that the unit only cost $1300. Recently, we discovered that it's not a filtration system at all, but a water softener, and it was hooked up to the sprinkler system not the main waterline. Additionally, it was installed by the garage door, not deep in the garage. We called to speak with someone and the woman who answered the phone was very rude.

We asked for sales or the sales manager. She directed us to the service manager's voicemail, so we hung up and called back. When we called again, she said, 'Oh, you didn't leave a message,' with an attitude. Then, we spoke to another person who also gave us an attitude.

This man was unprofessional and extremely rude. He told us to get our facts straight and asked where we got our information. He implied that we didn't know what we were talking about and hung up on us. I cannot believe the unprofessionalism of this company.

They took advantage of a young girl living on her own for the first time, which is mortifying.

We, her parents, don't live in the townhouse with her. This company is disgusting.

Loss:
$8219
Cons:
  • Unethical practices
  • Price gouging
  • Unprofessional

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not do business with this company

  • - New water purification system; I notice the difference in hours.
  • - Logan, Shane, and Charlie were professional; I now have healthier water at home.

Thank you for my new water purification system. I can see, taste, and smell the difference within a matter of hours.

Thank you Logan, Shane and Charlie for your professionalism.

I appreciate having a top quality company to work with. More importantly, I know I have a healthier drinking, cooking, showering, and laundry water supply coming into my home.

Broken slides

AI Highlights
  • - I was told after a day to contact a parts company and a line to the company was provided.
  • - I replied twice for clarification but never got a response.

My issue is that after 1 day I get a response that since the windows are old then I should contact a company for parts. They did provide a line to that company.

I responded twice to the email they sent to get clarification but never received a response. Poor customer service

Preferred solution: A response.

Discontinued product?

AI Highlights
  • - Has Revere 12 inch board and batten and needs siding to match.
  • - Heard Revere siding is discontinued or sold to Alside or Gentek and wants the story.

I have Revere 12" board & batten on my home. I am remodeling and would like to match the siding.

I heard that Revere is no longer producing siding, it is discontinued, or that they have been bought by Alside or Gentek.

What is the real story?

When did this happen? Is there anyone I can call about this?
