Description of Work: The technician sent was very knowledgable about my system. Service provided was to prepare my filtration system for storage while we were selling our home and subsequently having a new home built. The tech also passed on important information about longer term storage which prepped us for that contingency. We were very pleased with the service.

We initially used their services to test our water. The technician had a miniature version of the unit that he had with him. He was able to test my water with his system. They did everything that they said they would do. It was a great experience.

We contacted this company through Home Depot. They offered a water test where we , mailed a sample of our water to them and they sent a salesperson out. They did arrive a little late to the installation appointment. They did everything that they said they would do. However, they didn’t explain the maintenance very thoroughly to us. For example, they didn’t explain how often to change to filters, where to purchase them, and how expensive they would be. Overall, it was a great experience.

It went pretty well. With the way that it was put in the water seeped and all the water came down into our garage. There were problems but they sent someone out to fix it. The work was good and I was told that they had an inexperienced guy helping out and that’s why there was a problem. I thought the price was high.

When we signed up on the Home Depot website for this service we expected to get a recommendation of the best system for our needs that Home Depot showed on their website. The pages in the salesman's demonstration binder had Home Depot writte across the top. Instead after the long presentation we found out that he was selling a product from a different company that cost about 6 times as much as what Home Depot was selling. This was a complete waste of our time. I feel that the person and Home Depot misrepresented the service they were offering.
Description of Work: Representative came to test water for hardness and recommend system. Was sent by Home Depot. He did a few tests and several demonstrations. He went through a lengthy presentation about the benefits of soft water and the cost effectiveness. This took about 2 hourw.

I have grave reservations and I wish I had not bought the service. The product is a good product, but I do not and I feel like we were forced into a purchase and not given a chance to think about it. For what the product is it is very expensive and there are probably alternatives that are much more economical, so I am not happy with them. I would recommend that anyone dealing which them should check research with everyone even before talking to them. It was a 3 hour sales pitch and it is very convincing and they show you the affect that it can have on laundry, dishes and everything else. The have things like doing in-house demonstrations and it is all very convincing when they have these package deals that have organic based biodegradable soaps that are included in the package deals. They also have things like money back deal and that is as long as it is not installed and they rush out and install it the next day and they have a life time warranty as long as the model exists, but they change the model every 2 years. A lot of research that I did after buying it shows that a lot of people that bought it are very happy with it, but would have been happier with something that was 10th of the same price. The unit was very expensive and I spent $2,000 on it and the roof is much more. The guys that came to do the installation seemed like used car salesmen and seemed a little shady. I was not happy with them at all and I spent about $6,000 on that work. It is a very well made system, but was not necessary for my house. When it was time for the sale they were very quick to respond, act and since then I haven?t heard a word, and I am hoping to never contact them. We expressed an interest in finding out more about the system and they called and the arranged for a sales demonstration all most immediately and that was within days. When I told them that I wanted to give it more thought and delay the installation and they said that if I did that I and then came back I would not have any of the extra side bonus packages and that should really have been an indication to be to just leave it. They were very punctual for the sale. The salesman was very cordial, nice and answered a lot of questions, but I think he misrepresented the product. The crew was very professional, but the crew boss was very rude and obnoxious. He was looking for ways to cut corners and do the job faster and forcing things through. He was using lower quality parts for installation and the guys that were actually doing the work did a great job and cleaned up. They were very cordial and did a fantastic job. It was very disappointing.

Response from Sweetwater Home Services
Thank you so much for your feedback regarding the purchase of your water treatment system. I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Some of your comments indicate to me that you may be confused regarding the value of your system; maybe I can help clear up any misunderstanding. First of all you do comment that this is a good product and a very well made system, and that our company was very quick to respond to your request for a presentation and the sales rep was punctual. You also mention that the sales presentation demonstrated to you that water treatment can provide benefits throughout the home. On the other hand, you are concerned that you invested too much is the product and should have done more research to find a less expensive solution. We do encourage our customers to comparison shop and in fact most consumers do so and report back to us that although our price is not the lowest, we do have the best warranty on the market. Regarding your warranty, our records show you purchased our Gold Water Treatment Package which has a lifetime manufacturers warranty on the tanks, valves , electronics, and drinking system. Your resin has a 20 year warranty. This warranty does not become void if a new model becomes available, and is honored at every RainSoft dealership worldwide in case you should relocate. You also received a 3 year dealer service guarantee that provides for any minor adjustments at no charge. Since you have not contacted our service department I will assume you are happy with the quality of water your system is providing. Although you state you are hoping to never contact us, it is our policy to send out reminders to our customers once a year to let them know what if any annual maintenance is recommended to ensure optimal water quality. Regarding the installation crew: At first you state that the guys who came out seemed shady, but then you mention that the crew was very professional, cordial and did a fantastic job, but you were very unhappy with the crew boss. Please rest assured that this crew was led by a licensed plumber with many years of experience who used the materials and techniques required to do a quality installation and meet the current plumbing codes in your area. In closing, I am sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your decision, however, I am sure you will agree that although it is easy to find cheap alternatives, it is important to invest in quality products for your home and family. . RainSoft water treatment products are designed to improve your water quality which in turn helps to improve your quality of life by saving on repairs, cleaning, bottled water, appliance wear and tear, clothing erioration and energy use. Please feel free to contact me personally for a complimentary water quality check at your convenience to ensure you are receiving the quality of water you invested in. I was not your sales rep, but I am the SA sales manager.

Due to the value received for the price we did not buy the unit from Rain Soft.
Description of Work: We wanted a good quality water softener for our home. We saw the Rain Soft system at Home Depot and signed up to have our water tested and look at their system. I must say they are very aggressive in their sales leads. They left a message on our answer machine for about 2 weeks straight. I would call and ask them to call my other number, and finally connected. Bob Miller came out with a complicated kit to show the hardness of our water. Their price was very high; he was professional. We decided not to commit that night. We did our research and were able to get a system with the same quality, same warranty, and guarantee for half the price. Their system seemed good, but way over priced. So, do your homework.

The service man from Rainsoft Water Treatment was extremely professional, efficient in servicing our water softener and we are happy with the services we received. The water softener was not running properly, the company was quick to come and do a thorough cleaning of our system while replacing the " O" ring. The bill, which included the service work and part, was very reasonable.
Description of Work: We had our water softener serviced in December by Rainsoft Water Treatment; the service man had to replace the "O" ring as it was worn out and did a cleaning of our system.
