Great company! Great service. And price cannot be beat. We had a softener and reverse osmosis system installed. Total cost for this was so much less than the other four local companies I received estimates from. The owner Dave is super responsive. Answers texts very quickly. I highly recommend this company!! Our water is soft and the r.o. water tastes great! read more

Almost 10 years later, still extremely satisfied with Ameri-Kim's service. Best in the business for sure.

They have solved our dreadful well water problem!! Half as much money as the two other quoted prices we got, and fast, honest, friendly and expert service!! This is an amazing company! Look no further for your yucky well water remediation needs!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Our water softener was quiet old and we had brown water regularly. When searching for someone to come out and inspect our water softener, we reached out to Yelp and Ameri-Kim was highly rated. We had a great experience with Dave and Kim. Dave did a great job of walking me through the process and how to use the new softener. They were quick, responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Ameri-Kim and would hire them again. read more

Efficient, punctual, and professional. You're dealing with local, experienced people who know what they're doing. You'll get highly personalized, quality service. We're very happy with our experience and have recommended them a number of times with absolutely no reservations or hesitation. read more

Great service We had our well-water softener and iron treatment replaced as well as adding a 5-stage reverse-osmosis system. Scheduling was easy by phone call, great communication through the process, and installation was without a hitch. Dave was professional throughout and is a very friendly and helpful guy. read more

Amazing! Kim, who I spoke to on the phone is very nice and helpful she got me quickly to the right person. The gentleman who came to our home was helpful and answered all our questions and ended up charging us nothing Highly recommended read more

Very friendly and helpful. They let me know an exact arrival time, problem solved our issues and didn't overcharge! We were really impressed with the kindness. read more

Dave is fantastic! Explained how everything works and very dependable if something isn't working correctly. Fair prices compared to other companies. Kim is super nice when scheduling the inspection! Can't go wrong with a family business! Go support your local businesses! read more

Dave came to our house today to evaluate the smell in the water. He was fantastic. Did not charge me for the service and gave me great advice. I will not use anyone else in the future. Honest & Fair ....hard to come by these days! Thank you Dave!!! read more

I spent the last 6 months researching the best solution for my water filtration needs. From in-home consultations to on-line calls, I spoke to more than a dozen people. My decision was easy once I had Dave from Ameri-Kim come out. He is extremely knowledgeable about the water in the area and knows the best way to treat it. No pressure sales, doesn't waste your time with a long-winded presentation and provides you with options. We are on a well with some iron, sulfur (egg smell) and the occasional red/gray sediment. Even though our softener did a great job with softening the hard water, it did little for our other issues. The installation of my system took about 2 hrs without any issues. Within an hr after the install, we noticed that our water situation drastically improved. 1) No need for well shocking (chlorination) 2) No need for a filter change (back washes automatically) 3) No chemicals or anything to add Here is the best part... he is the most reasonably priced water conditioning/filtration provider that I had out. Get quotes from others first and call Dave last. You will see that he won't oversell you on things that you do not need. I highly recommend Ameri-Kim. read more

Ameri-Kim installed an iron filter and UV filter shortly after we moved to our house in Deer Park. Since then our water has been free of sulphur smell and we haven't had iron deposits on our appliances, plus we've had the peace of mind knowing that the UV filter would disinfect anything coming up from our well. When I've had minor service issues they've been extremely responsive and have come out to address right away. I highly recommend choosing Ameri-Kim over any of the large water filtration companies in the area! read more

Dave came out to install a water softener for us last month and we've been enjoying nice soft water since then. It was a new installation and our water pipes were in a hard to access location. He did a great job explaining his plan and putting in new piping. The job was completed in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

I moved to this house and the water was very hard. The system it had was Angel. Called the Angel guys and got the quote. The Angel softener was 18 years old and was guzzling 2 bags a salt each week and still was hard. I have never lived in a house with well water. So had no idea how much it would cost. Got 4 more quotes and it was around the same. My neighbour recommended AMERIKIM and he told me what he paid. It was almost one fifth of the quotes I had. It was very hard for me to believe. I was not sure whether to call AMERKIM but went to yelp and decided to call AMERIKIM. Dave came the next day- he was the most knowledgeable as compared to all others. He was not at all pushy. The other competitors were telling me what all I need (more than what I actually needed). Dave said all I needed was a water softener and no need to replace carbon filter- all other vendors said that on top of a water softener carbon filter must be replaced, install iron buster blah blah blah. Dave said in few years we can rebed the carbon filter at 1/3 the cost of carbon filters what other competitors had proposed, if need be. Dave asked me if I was interested in RO. I had ordered a RO system from AMAZON. Dave never pushed his product. I called them the other day and went for both RO (5 stage) and Water softener with AMERIKIM. I cannot believe the price I got. All the other competitors quoted this on top of their system: * To drill a hole to put a faucet for RO : $150-$200 (Dave did it for free) * Installation RO (Labor) $200 (Dave did not charge extra for that) * Installation Softener (Labor) $200 (Dave did not charge extra for that) * If RO is under sink, it will be free. If put in a basement, they will charge extra. (Dave did not even bring this up- he just put it in the basement) * Hooking the refrigerator line $85-$120 (Dave did not even bring this up-hooked it up to the refrigerator) * Salt in the brine tank during install - other vendors were charging extra for that. Dave put 200 lbs of salt and it was built in the price. * Filter replacement too was more expensive as compared to AMERIKIM With everything done , it was almost 1/5th the price of other competitors. Dave came at 8 AM installed both the water softener and RO system, hauled the old system and was out at 12:00. I highly recommend AMERIKIM. Please take quotes from different companies but do call AMERIKIM. You will be surprised. Till now very satisfied with the water quality. read more

Dave and Kim of Ameri-Kim are very responsive, professional and saved me a lot of money, $1,300.00 The primary softwater service provided in the area listened to my concern, tested the kitchen cold water, told me the cold water was 30+ grains hardness and I need a new softwater system for around $1,600.00. I tested the washroom cold water at 17 grains hardness and composite cold & hot water hardness of 10 grains. Questioning why the difference I asked around and was referred to Ameri-Kim. When I explained the above to Dave he told me kitchen cold water is always going to be hard as generally kitchens are not plumbed for soft cold water and decisions should not be made based on testing kitchen cold water results. We tested cold, hot and composite water in the washroom and with results similar to previous results,10 grains, which lead us to the water softener. Following some analysis and calculations Dave determined and recommended I only needed to replace the control portion of the water softener for around $300.00 or so which I did. After 60 day's we still have continual soft water upon demand. You can see it when soap suds, feel in on you skin, tiles, china and utensils are spot free. Just to confirm I test the water 3 or 4 times a week with a HACH Model 5B Hardness Test Kit and the water is consistently 0 to 1 grains hardness. Thanks Dave and Kim for solving the immediate problem rather over selling and recommending complete systems to solve a problem. read more

Reasonably priced, professional service, on time, does exactly what he says he will. What else can i say? Specializes in water softeners so doesn't do anything else but its what hes good at and my water is great now. read more

I just had my water softener replaced today. Dave is awesome.. He arrived on time, very professional, and did outstanding work. I highly recommend Ameri-Kim for all your water softener needs.. A+ read more

Had an issue with my water softener. Kim was super friendly and patched me over to Dave's cell to determine if this could be fixed over the phone. No such luck but Dave was able to come out within a few days. He fixed the issue extremely quickly as his guess on the phone call was totally correct. Dave is great and helps the customer understand what the issue is and how to prevent it. Great small business owner! read more

We moved into a place that had a water softener by Ameri-Kim. I hadn't heard of them before but I called the number on the softener and they were more than pleasant to deal with. I've been using them for 2 yrs now. I love supporting local business especially when they provide a personal service, are reasonable priced and professional. Great experience all around. read more

I was having trouble with a water treatment unit at my house in Long Grove that used bleach to treat the sulfur smell that naturally occurs in the water. Our water smelled like bleach for 2 days a week was fine for 3 days then smelled like sulfur until the unit regenerated at the end of the week. A neighbor said he had gone through the same thing used a bunch of companies and all sorts of equipment until he called America-Kim. So I called them up. Dave, the owner came to my house. He first listened to me and my issues (I wasn't pumped about smelling bleach when I drew a bath for my young kids). He recommended a system that didn't use chemicals to treat the smell. Said he's installed tons of them and only one complaint. Offered me some kind of trial period if I wasn't convinced. Since the installation for a very reasonable price, we have had ZERO issues with water smell, and I don't have to dump bleach into my system weekly. Small company. Mom and pop type place. Professional. Clean. Easy to reach. Responsive. Great experience. read more

I called Dave out today because our iron buster was trickling. I just figured that it was time for a new one. He was prompt and fixed the problem. This is the first time that I have had real water pressure in my house probably since I bought it. I really like that he explains the issues, and is very honest. It does not get any better than this company! read more

I previously wrote a 5 star review and wish there was a 10 star rating! I highly recommend this company! We have high amounts of iron in our water and the filter can get clogged with sand particles. Dave responds quickly and is great at explaining what he's doing. Thank you once again Dave and Kim! read more

I purchased a new home and the well water inspection showed a strand of bacteria in the water and recommended not drinking it. After a couple of months of drinking bottled water, I called Dave and Ameri-Kim Softwater. He came out the next day and reviewed the water inspection. He told me that the bacteria strand I had was not dangerous to consume and said I didn't need any water treatment. He did let me know what services and products he provided in case we were interested and was on his way. After talking with my wife, we decided to purchase a reverse osmosis water filtration system. He came out the next day and installed it quickly. He set it up to have a tap at the kitchen sink and another water line to the fridge. His price was much more economical than going to competitors. Dave was very nice and personable. We were extremely happy with the service and recommend him to you. read more

Ziggy Z. Do polskich wlascicieli domow ktorzy maja wlasne studnie wodne i maja problem z woda np. z rdza czy tez z zapachem wody. Polecam w 100% Ameri-Kim Softwater a w szczegolnosci wlasciciela tej firmy , Davida. Zgadzam sie z opiniami ludzi amerykanskiego pochodzenia ktorzy dali Davidowi najwiekszy rating za uczciwosc , nie naleganie lub namawianie do zakupu czegos co jest nie potrzebne , za jego dbanie o klientow no i oczywiscie za przystepne ceny . Lubie swoja wode ktora jest naprawde czysta ( byla wielokrotnie sprawdzana przez inne firmy ktore to reklamuja bardzo drogie filtry na polskich stacjach radiowych) a ktore to byly bardzo zaskoczone czystoscia mojej wody . Wiec nie zastanawiaj sie jak chcesz miec w domu czysta wode to dzwon do Davida lub tez jego zony Kim. A potem przyznasz mi racje. Jak napijesz sie tej wody to gwarantuje Tobie ze chlorowanej wody nie wezmiesz do ust. Bedziesz ja czul na odleglosc. I jeszcze jedno: znam Davida od bodajze 2005 roku i jego firme i do dzisiaj dba o moja wode. read more

Did not have to wait for an appt and they were awesome. Dave came out explained how the softener works and just did an adjustment for us at no charge. He didn't try to sell me anything extra (like a lot of the other company's reviews said) and he didn't do any unnecessary work. Definitely recommend them!! read more

I have A LOT of iron in my water and without a running water softener it is miserable. So the fact that Ameri-Kim responds immediately when they are needed and stands behind their products is fantastic. Excellent company, reliable, and upstanding. They have installed a water purification system for drinking water which works great (such a difference in water taste) and serviced my water softener over the years. Like the other reviews, I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Dave is a miracle worker. The water in our new house smelled awful and I didn't know how we were going to live with such stinky sulfur water. But now that we have the Ameri-Kim filtration system, you can't even tell it's well water! I cannot express how happy and relieved we were to have this issue solved so easily. The price was extremely reasonable as well! Thanks again, Dave! read more

I have a water well and was looking for filtration solutions. I had several companies out for estimates. Dave from Ameri-Kim was by far the most knowledgeable and his prices cannot be beat. The competitors were not even close in price. He installed a new filtration system in my home and now my water is perfect. He saved me a ton of money and his products are top notch. Don't waste your time and money calling someone else. He has a wide variety of filtration systems and also delivers salt. I echo everyone's review of Dave and Ameri-Kim. My experience was great and he saved me money. read more

I have had excellent service from Ameri-Kim. They are professional, attentive and are so easy to work with!! They bring the salt into your home and put it where you want it instead of dropping it by the door. We have always been 150% satisified every time they come out! read more

We had hard water and iron/sulfur issues (well water) in Kildeer. Had called around. Received a very high estimate from a well known competitor. But Ameri-Kim was great. Good service and pricing. Had the issue resolved very quickly Felt like I was getting honest treatment and would highly recommend. read more

We live in Lake County and our home has a well. We had to get a new water softener and found Ameri-Kim Softwater company from the internet. We had called other water softener companies for quotes as well as Ameri-Kim Softwater company. The main reason we chose Ameri-Kim for a new water softener was Dave, the Owner was so very nice on the phone, he took time to explain different options for us, and he was exceptionally knowledgeable on the problem with extreme rust we were having and the best product for our home. We do not have a large budget and one of our worries was how would we afford a new water softener. No worries there; Dave came out and showed his inventory and offered refurbished models for us. He even let us make payments for about 4 months. Here is the best part, at first Dave said he would save us money if we installed it ourselves. But then when he delivered the softener he said I'll install it for us. Within 30 minutes to 45 minutes the old water softener was removed and the new water softener was installed and running. And Dave took the old water softener with him. Excellent service and a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend Ameri-Kim Softwater. Our water is completely free of rust!!!! Thank you Ameri-Kim Softwater Company read more
