Buyer beware** Was sold a water system under false pretenses by the sales rep Jake Faker. He knew I wanted to lower my current water system payment with a fully working system which with Raab’s system our monthly bill doubled with supplies needed to “maintain” their system. After several complaints of it working improperly I was told we were to blame for their system working subpar. We requested to have it removed and our requests were bypassed by a general manager, Rusty. He claimed they had the best system and we must’ve been doing something wrong almost as if I was imagining what I was concerned with (ie making my child take a bath in GRAY WATER w/ a terrible odor.) Now we have several appliances in our home failing from corrosion bc their system has never worked. This company will promise a lot to get you to sign on the dotted line then lack customer service and listen to what any company should go by: the customer is always right. My advice ask how much the water filters are, how much your electricity bill will increase, how many trips to their store to pick up product costs, how much the bill for service calls & parts that break costs, also how much your time is worth sitting on the phone for 20 minutes at a time trying to explain your concerns that are dismissed.

Response from Rabb Water Systems
Water quality such as yours is considered ‘extreme’. It requires a level of maintenance to turn it into good water. You can maintain the products yourself or we can, which we have offered. Either carries a cost. The fact is there is home owner maintenance required for any system to work properly, as we discussed on the phone. Upon arrival to your home on our most recent visit, the pump to the odor system was turned off and there was no salt in your water softener. Once our technician corrected these items. The water was clean, clear and odor free before he left. We have noted other visits to your home that upon arrival found the peroxide chemical tank was empty which is required for the odor removal. These are maintenance items only you can control. You were sold a system designed for your extremely bad water, not under any "false pretenses". The request for removal of your system was not bypassed, we simply didn't agree to your request of 100% refund. As per our phone conversation last week, you need to speak to the finance company with whom you chose to finance products from us to find out how to discontinue your contract with them. Filing social media/online complaints does not negate your financial responsibilities. We have responded to your service requests in a timely manner and given you suggestions on how to help, which you haven't adhered to. We don't want you to be unhappy, but at some point there is accountability on your part to keep the system up and running. We disagree with your assessment of Jack Faker. Jack is a 19 year employee with a solid reputation, ethics and morals. Rabb Water Systems is a 60 year old water treatment company with an exemplary reputation. There is nothing for either of us (Jack or Rabb Water) to gain in lying to customers. At this point we would be happy to part ways with you with a handshake and wish you the best. In closure, Rabb Water Systems disagrees with your assessment and we do not accept the hit being made to our good name.

We rent a water softener from Rabb. The salesman was very nice and explained all of our options. We decided to rent the unit at first to see if we liked it. It has done an amazing job and we will possibly be purchasing the unit at the end of our rental agreement. Very good product and service.

When our water softener broke down, we called Rabb. They came on time, saw that our softener system was so old, no parts could be found to fix it. We made plans to have a new one put in. They were professional, friendly, explained what they would do, and did it. When a slight problem occurred after the men left, we called the number given to us for any problems, and they came back within a half hour to fix it. We would use Rabb again and recommend them to our friends.

My system got a 10-year warranty so as far as service they don't charge me anything and for parts I just paid for the filters as I use them. Filters are like $6 a piece and then salt is $6 a bag. They have very good service. The workers are good. They do things the way you asked them to do it. I will use them again.
Description of Work: I bought water softening system and RO system from Rabb Kinetico Water Systems and I buy water filters from them last week.

Response from Rabb Water Systems
Hello [removed member name] I just recently stumbled across your review of Rabb Water Systems on Angie’s List from June. I wanted to touch base and follow up with your experience. I do apologize for the delay in my response, but I was not aware of your review until now. Your comments seem very favorable for our company. I am pleased to read that you have been satisfied with our staff and work and would use us again in the future. However, the grade that you gave us does not seem to reflect the same sentiment as your comments. You rated us an overall grade of a “C”. As a consumer myself, if I were searching for a service company, I would probably look elsewhere if the review showed a “C” grade. As a small company we live for referrals and word of mouth advertising. A below average grade on a trusted site like Angie’s List is very detrimental to our image. With or without Angie’s List, we strive to give our customer’s an “A” experience. What could we have done better to increase your grading? Your feedback is very important for us to learn from and make changes accordingly. Sincerely, Rusty R. General Manager Rabb Water Systems

I have been a customer with Raab Water for over fifiteen (15) years (prior company was Harris Water Conditoning out of Grabill, Indiana) I have always been treated fairly and honestly by the folks at Raab.They have never tried to upsell me and have always been forthright when asked questions about water quality and any info about the unit I currently own. I have moved several times, and have always had them move my equipment and reinstall. They have always made the transition smooth and I have never been without conditioned water timely. I am moving again at the end of March and can update again with a more current assessment on their service quality.
Description of Work: As a result of my old R.O leaking from the top, and being told it may be a couple hundred dollars to repair, I decided to just purchase un upgraded newer R.O.

The work was fine. We had used them before and got a new system. We liked the price and liked their service.
Description of Work: They installed a water softener for us several years ago. They also installed a reverse osmosis system this fall.

On 8/5/12 we contacted the Rabb Water Systems about their water softners. On 8/6/12 Gary McKinney came to our home and showed us the different systems available and how they worked. He tested our water to see what equipment would serve our home. On 8/9/12, Dave March, came to complete the installation of the new softner. Today, 8/17/12, Gary came back as a follow up to be sure everything is working fine and to re-test the water (there is no rust in the water!!!). Both men were very pleasant, thorough, professional and did a great job.
Description of Work: They took out our old softner and did an excellent job of installing the new one.

Great service all around from the owners down to the installation guys. All friendly and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Warsaw,IN store. Replaced an old water softener with a new Kinetico. Do your homework for what works for you. Decided to add the reverse ossmosiss & this was a definate plus!!! Don't go for the 6 month 0 financing if you can pay for it. Finance company annoying. Service was preformed on time & cleanup & operation instruction.

From the time they showed us a catalog to the final installation, we were very satisfied with the quality and representation of this company.
Description of Work: They installed a new reverse osmosis unit under our sink, which cleans the water and a new Kinetico water softener in the basement. They spent 2 hours here and took all the old garbage away with them when they left.
