To Whom it May Concern,
Prior to agreeing to purchase services from "Home Depot", and the third party " Eco Water of Central California" my wife and I were told in person we would have 3 days to try the water softener system and reverse osmosis (my wife has a medical condition known as "severe eczema", and needs to try things out to make sure they will not adversely affect her skin. I further texted the seller "Robirt Lajeen" on Saturday January 18th, asking for verification "is there a return policy if my wife hates it" to which he replied" There's a 3 day right to cancel". This led us to believe we had 3 days to try out water. If he had instead said "We have no refund policy, you have 3 days to cancel from the date of signing paper work, which is 1/18/2025", I would never have agreed to purchase this system. My wife always needs to try things out to make sure they will not adversely affect her. I believe this is classic "Bait and Switch", which is illegal in California.
Nothing was properly installed in my home. The installer from "Eco Water of Central California (they have denied to provide me with the installer name, and or to see the installer paperwork when asked multiple times over the phone). The water softener System was placed without my knowledge or consent in my wives flower garden (this resulted in destruction of person property). In addition to this, the dirt is on a slant and is not even or stable. Installer did put down some sort of slab under the two devices, but due to the dirt not being level; the structure is unstable and could fall on my six year old step son. The installer informed me, that he did not have all the required parts for the install and the whole house water softener system would not work and should not be turned on. I pointed out where he installed the equipment was very problematic and he told me "It is the only place it can be installed". I have learned since then, this was a lie. When I asked why a "brand new" piece of equipment did not have all the parts needed for install, I was not given an answer. I was informed "you can ask for a technical to come out and finish it". The whole house softener has never worked or functioned. Nor does my family have any benefit from this so called "installation".
The second piece of equipment was a reverse osmosis for safe drinking water, to which he put it under my kitchen sink. I found it was leaking water very shortly after it was "installed", and has been shut off. I believe if the leak were to continue the water would spill out from under my sink and go on my Kitchen tile, and my home could be damaged further.
As of 1/28/2025. I have been asking for cancelation since 1/25/2025 (through voice mail and speaking to the company. I have been ignored and lied to by the owner of the company, one "Ken Steitz", and have been denied the company to come and remove their broken, faulty, and leaking equipment.
Thankfully, since I bought this through home depot, I was able to get my refund. However, the worker who came to get there broken equipment out of my home left me with 2 leaks, and a plumber had to be called to fix this. I briefly spoke with the owner " Ken Steitz", who did not believe a word I said, and laughed at me over the phone. He clearly does not care at all about his business.
Ecowater lied to me to get my business. This was NOT a professional initialization. This is an unethical company, and who ever read this should seriously consider if you want to be business with these people. read more
