Everything went well. No problems. This is maintenance this has to be done about every 3 years. Our system is over 20 years old and the technician said it was still in great shape and functioning well.

I've been using these guys since I built my house & they've always been good. Probably not the cheapest guys around, I'm guessing. But they are always very professional, prompt, extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to take as much time as you need for anything.
Description of Work: Can't remember exactly when I did this, but last Summer/Fall they replaced my water softener that I had installed when I built my house 17 years ago. I got the top of the line Kinetico unit that uses no electricity and regenerates on demand. The service tech who came for a normal service call on my old unit suggested it and worked out some deals for me where I got a pretty good discount on the unit, got a credit for my old unit, got me a new, updated carbon filtration system to replace my current one (for like $200 or something - normally about $600 - $800 I think), and set up an interest free financing deal for me. The service tech who later came to install the new unit showed up on time, did a great job installing it (integrating it with my carbon filtration system as well), and took lots of time explaining the system to me.

Service is mediocre. They just drop off salt in the driveway rather than ring or knock to see if someone is home. I would really like them to put the salt in the softener. I am 71, and lifting four forty pound bags to empty them into the tank is not easy.

Response from American Water
I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. When we deliver salt to our customers, it is our intent to perform the service for you to make adding salt to your unit as convenient as possible. Our service technicians are instructed to knock and ring the bell to notify the customer of our arrival. When there is no answer, they will leave a tag on the door so that you know we stopped by, and leave the bags of salt near the garage door so they are easy to locate. If prior arrangements are made and access to the softener is available, we are happy to empty the salt bags into your unit while you are away. I urge you to contact our office so that we can make such arrangements for you so you will not be burdened by the heavy lifting. We would be more than happy to accommodate such requests! Because you mentioned that the proper procedure did not take place during this delivery, we will be discussing your situation with our team to ensure the best possible service for our customers. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you! Sharla Gottesman Marketing Director American Water 512-388-0022

I've checked our records and it appears our last service for you was July of 2007 on an older softener bought from and installed by another company. I apologize if you felt the $195 was too high. That charge included $83 in parts, a trip charge, and one hour of labor. I would be more than happy to discuss any concerns you may have about the charge. Please feel free to contact me at 512-388-0022. Sincerely, Jay Baker V.P. Sales and Operations American Water Kinetico

The service was prompt and went well. Water pressure was dropping in the house and the softener resin needed changing. After the service the pressure was back to normal. We have used this company for nearly 15 years and have always had a good experience. We also have a Kinetico R/O water filter installed by them. We like Kinetico products.

Thank you for your review! Dustin is a wonderful Install Manager and Technician here at American Water, and we are glad to hear that he exceeded your expectations. I noticed that you gave us a B for Punctuality, and I wanted to take a moment to explain how our schedule works. All of our appointments are scheduled in either the AM or PM time block, instead of a set time, because you can never know exactly how one job will go to the next. To make it even easier on our customers, our technicians call you when they are on the way, with at least a 15-20 minute notice. This has helped a lot of our customers plan their busy schedules around having their units serviced. We are always working toward improving our level of service, and will continue to look for ways to do so in this department. Again, thank you for taking the time to review us! It is much appreciated.

I moved from one house to another about 15 months ago. American Water was the company that had installed it and I called them to come and disconnect it so i could bring it with me to my new home. When I moved into the new house, I called and they came out the next day and installed it and did some routine maintenance on it that I had been waiting to have done until I moved. They came back about 3 months ago and replaced the filter in the unit under the kitchen sink and refreshed my memory of how to tell when it needed to be changed again. I have always been pleased with the service. They are always on time and I think they are very thorough in checking the system out to be sure everything is working as it should be. I would not hesitate to recommend Kinetico or American Water of Round Rock.

To the best of my ability to determine, the install was physically clean neat and well done. Installer tooks photos of his work for their records. Install was done at the scheduled time. The installer was pleasant and efficient. Even though I have been a customer for 16 years, the entire purchase ansd install process was filled with numerous issues that left me uncomfortable. All have been resolved to my satisfaction. However, had I not been personally diligent in pursuing technical issues, the new system controls would have been set so incorrectly that the unit would have recharged much more frequently than needed - multiplying the cost of salt and recharge water. Among issues that concerned me: Their web site did not show the unit I wanted, even though they had it in stock. Their focus seems be be on more costly units. I was told that the warranty on this unit was non-transferable but the printed warranty says otherwise. The work order for installation had my name incorrect. The installer did not know how to calcuate the needed control settings and phoned for assistance. The installer said that the unit recharges every night. However, when properly set, it will do so about every 8-10 days. The owners manual provided to me at installation does not show the unit they actually installed. Controls were set without any record of my water hardness. Setting information written by the installer on his work order was unintelligent and not understandable. After I visited the American Water office and showed my information materials and a photo of the control settings, David Sanchez, the facilities manager, made a personal visit to my home, tested the water, corrected the control settings, and offered to send me specifications on the actual unit installed. These have not yet been received at this writing. I did write a letter to the owner as listed by the BBB sharing the information above but primarily sharing how one customer sees and experiences his business. I am concerned about customers who are not as diligent for whom they made prior installations and have incorrect meter settings. I though he ought to know. At this time I am reasonbly well satisfied, but cautious.

Thank you very much [Member Name Removed] for your review and your letter. We appreciate your 16 years as a happy American Water customer and will work hard to continue that happy relationship. As I mentioned in my response letter to you the owners manual you received is for the electric single tank water softener you chose for installation. We add the C to the Powerline on our paperwork to represent carbon for your chlorine removal. You're correct the C is not on the website as it only shows the softener but the Powerline is shown under electric softeners. As a result of your concern on the settings we had a training session with our installers on electric softener settings. While installing non-electric softeners is far more common for us the techs still need to be prepared for the electric systems. Again, I appreciate your thoughts. We have listened and hopefully addressed your concerns. If I can help any further please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for your continued business. Sincerely, Jay Baker V.P.

My husband and I have just built a new home. We are from New England and first time home buyers so we didn't know anything about water softeners. After some internet research, we spoke to Donald Weitzman at a home show in Austin. He was professional and very knowledgeable and didn't try to sell us the most expensive units. When the house was close to completion, he came out and tested our water. He again reviewed our needs (how many people, how many bathrooms, etc) and helped us determine which systems would be right for us. Again, he did not try to sell us the most expensive unit, but helped us find the right fit for us. The installer, Laddie, was fantastic. He was friendly, thorough and really took pride in doing a good job. His pride in workmanship really showed especially with the job he did installing the water filtration into our brand new granite counters. I could not be happier with the installation. He also took the time to really explain how we use our system. We are very happy with our systems and with the service we have received.
