Purchased softener for $2,600 a little over 2 years ago. We now have terrible water pressure and was told the softener was shot. Two different reps from Superior Water Systems both told me that I was sold the wrong unit, and re-told me multiple times. The rep that sold me the unit had gotten fired, and that this unit was not the correct one for my home and location. They then offered a "discount", that meant I would either pay them $190 to fix the current one so it could happen again in 2 years, $1500 for something a little better, or $3000 if I didn't want the problem to happen again. After reminding them this wasn't my fault as they sold me the wrong unit, I was told that it was my fault for being the one who chose to put it in. If you're looking for an overpriced water softener that will only last a few years and then be told its your fault, superior water systems will do a phenomenal job.

Response from Superior Water Systems
[Member Name Removed], this is interesting that you first complain to social media. If you tried to contact us and express your displeasure, I apologize, I didn’t get the message. I did research on your problem because we take complaints very seriously. The Kinetico systems are some of the best in the world and we are proud to represent them. We have our information kept in a database called SalesForce in order to have an audit trail of history with customers. I understand Patrick told you your unit was covered under warranty and it came with a 5-year warranty. That is true. It was installed on 7/13/2017 and you also received a MacGuard filter at that time for your drinking water. First, I spoke to the rep that sold you the unit, who was not fired, he is a stay at home dad now. He remembers you and said “Fitness person, but on a budget. He didn’t care about chlorine, even though I told him Morton has very high chlorine and would lower the life of this softener. He just wanted a soft shower for his girlfriend/wife. He also wanted the unit in an area that limited the size of the softener available.” The first service person you refer to was Phillip, if you remember he started coughing a lot in your house and you got him water to help. He didn’t know who sold you the unit nor made any mention about him. His determination was the softener needed a new media re-bed due to the high chlorine in your water. He did say something to you about maybe needing a Chlorine filter in front of the softener to help this from happening so soon again. The second person was Patrick, he first told you the current unit was under a 5-year warranty and we would fix it, which still holds true. He also offered upgrade units at discounted prices, but they would need to be placed somewhere else in the house due to the space requirements. We are very sorry that you had a bad experience. The warranty is still good and please contact Patrick or our office if we can be of assistance.

They went totally above and beyond to get me the perfect system for my family. They came back and re-tested the water and even made some adjustments to our system, without being asked. Their customer service is 2nd to none. I highly recommend them. They are very knowledgeable and I feel that I have the absolute best system on the market. I cannot speak highly enough about superior water company . From ownership to customer service, they are top notch.
Description of Work: I needed a system to clean the chloramine out of our water. Our levels were extremely high, in fact some of the highest they have ever seen.

needed a replacement water softener. The one that came with the home when I bought it, it exploded all over the floor and made a huge mess. The water tech that came to my home was very knowledgeable, and honest, he didn't try to salesman me, just was truthful with all the answers. Plus had references I could look up to back up everything. He answered all my questions I had about the water and the Kinetico unit, which is the brand I went with. The installer cleaned up all the mess and old parts from the broken unit and installed the new unit with professionalism. It looks really nice. I will use Superior Water in the future for all my water needs.

Salesman and technicians were very professional. Installation went very smoothly and technician assured systems were working prior to leaving. At the follow-up visit, they tested water and adjusted system as needed. Very friendly and professional! Would highly recommend.

Description of Work: I think it a waste as they recommend changing the watersoftner to one that is few thousand dollar where you get one from store for few hundred dollars. I think it a way to make business. Not sure if there is real science to this.

All of our water testing and education is free. Thank you for your review. Our purpose is to educate you on your water and as I noted, it was free. Our products are rated best by Consumer Reports, made in the USA, are engineered far superior to any other system. They do not use electricity, but use the least water and salt, by up to 75%. Our equipment warranty is also the longest in the market and through first hand experience, it last longer by years over the competition. If you look into cost associated with maintenance, wasted salt and water, and life of equipment, you will see Kinetico is far worth the additional cost up front. We also offer excellent financing that allows you to purchase a new system as low as what you can be paying for renting a water softener or drinking water system.

Description of Work: The guy was nice and promt, etc., but basically, this was paying someone to come give me a sales pitch. Yes, he "tested" the water, but he could have been waving a magic wand for all I knew. There was no written record of what the tests were or what the results were or meant. He gave a general explanation that basically (of course) came down to a recommendation that I buy their water treatment product that costs several thousand dollars. Not a hard sell, but not really useful either. I had expected scientific testing with numerical results in a report that I could then use to do my own research. This was more of a foot-in-the-door ploy. Apparently it costs a lot more to get your water professionally tested. If I'd known that I could have saved my money on this.

This provider was the only one in the Peoria area who truly addressed my water issues. I have hard iron with high iron. What I did not know was that I had iron bacteria. I got estimates from every large water treatment company in the Peoria area. Some stated their softener would handle the iron without a separate iron treatment. Others wanted to include the iron treatment. The first thing the Superior salesman did was to check my toilet tank. The sides were full of slime. I had thought it was just the way things had to be. Because of this bacteria, he set me up with a bacteria treatment, iron treatment, then actual water softening. He also recommended and sold me a mineral filter to go in my water distilling system. It is important to note I had called a softener manufacturer for some tech support issues. They specifically told me to address the issues with iron bacteria or I would not be successful in my efforts to truly clean up my water. It was almost as if the Superior Water salesman had tapped my phone. He went right to the heart of the matter. The installation took most of a day. The installers were professional and stuck right to the job. There were a couple minor issues, but that is to be expected with such a complicated setup. The installer came back and took care of everything. My only 2 complaints are: 1. With this new system, I get a very fine grain in the tub with hot water. This grain was not present before the water system installation. It seem to be more aesthetic than anything, and thus far has not caused any problems with my appliances. It is just an annoyance. 2. There was some cleaning supply setup included in the bill. I still have no idea how much this cost me and if I could have gotten a better deal without it, but it was never an option to not have the cleaning supplies. This was a big enough deal I would have gone elsewhere, but since no one else seemed to know to treat my water problems, I pretty much was locked in to this vendor.
Description of Work: Removed old softener, then installed a new iron filter and softener.

Better than anticipated especially seeing immediate results with soaps, laundry, showering and drinking.
Description of Work: Installed a water system with plumbing running special lines to ice maker and sink. All plumbing was done with high level of excellence. Had to make some special adjustments for our home and needs at no charge. Job was completed on a timely basis. Impressed that they cleaned up after themselves. We saw immediate results in our water. Our cat cries every morning until we fill her bowl with good water (the water is now drank instead of left alone).
