Poor instalation water leaks Installers unlicensed Discharge tubes were unsecure and caused water damage, including damage to water heater which had to be replaced There are other companies out there. This is not the one that you want read more

While the installation was done well, however I had informed while installing that I may need to remove it as i had some flooring work. I was told that I just need to call them back if i need assistance in hooking up. When i call a month later for hookup, they are charging a whopping $120 for 30 mins.. This was never told read more

We purchased a water softener for about 1500. The system is great the guy installing was good (even though he left our reverse osmosis turned off). The hidden 4% credit card processing fee was outrageous. Especially when you know they are writing off the fees on their taxes every year. They need to tell you that when the appointment is set up. They will take cash or a check. No Zelle or Venmo. read more

Wow, amazing and through. He did more in just minutes than the other company I contacted and the price was half.

Unfortunately, I just experienced bad service from Johnson Water. Johnson installed a water softener at my house today, and in the process broke my tankless water heater. As well, none of my showers will turn on and only the faucets will turn on. They left my house without explanation as to why the showers won't turn on, and they insisted that they did not break the tankless water heater. I had to call another company to come out tomorrow to repair my tankless water heater and figure out how to get my 3 showers to turn back on. I've been a customer for 21 years. I'm astonished how bad this turned out. Please think twice before using this company. read more

On January 7, 2025, I entered into a service agreement with Johnson Water Conditioning Co. Since installation, I have experienced ongoing issues with the water softening equipment and have consistently reported these concerns to the company. I contacted Johnson Water on three separate occasions to report that the system was not functioning properly. A technician was dispatched twice, each time displaying unprofessional behavior and dismissing my concerns without thorough inspection. On the third occasion, I specifically requested a different technician and asked that the water be tested to verify the equipment's performance. Despite my request, the same technician was sent again. However, he did conduct a water test, which confirmed that the equipment was not operating correctly and that the water remained hard--just as it was prior to installation. These findings were confirmed in June, despite my repeated complaints beginning in February. The issue has only recently been resolved. I contacted the company to request a credit for the five months during which the equipment was non-functional. My request was denied by a manager named Kerry. I have paid for five months of service without receiving the intended benefit. This experience reflects poorly on the company's commitment to customer service. Based on my experience, I do not recommend renting, purchasing, or using services from Johnson Water Conditioning Co., as customer concerns are not handled appropriately or professionally. I respectfully request that Johnson Water Conditioning Co. reconsider its position and issue a credit for the months during which the equipment was not functioning. I believe this would be a fair resolution and a reflection of good faith toward customer satisfaction. read more

We bought a reconditioned water softening system 7 years ago for $450 from them. The unit was starting to make noises and not functioning properly so we contacted them. They sent out a tech today. Service call was $120 and they fixed the issue! These guys are honest brokers and do great work. Could not recommend them enough. read more

Honestly and provide customer with system they request my neighbor referred me they never got their referral payment and I wanted his exact system which requires no maintenance filter free read more

Johnson company doesn't respond to emails. The company doesn't want to take responsibility for their water filters. read more

always an excuse "parts manufactured not by us". if you know your parts had defects, it was your responsible to fix it. Dones't matter if it was during the 1 year warranty or longer read more

Beware !!!! Stay away from that company !!!! I hired them to replace my softener system and the kitchen's drinking water filter . They send to my house an unskilled installer !!! After a few months , one of the plumbing lines got disconnected and it flooded my basement . Carpet, furniture and walls were destroyed ! They came back to fix the issue ( reconnect the line ) but once again they sent a brand new guy to do this. This kid had no experience , started recently !!! He left pipes and the filter disconnected again!!! I had to hire a plumber to install it properly so we can use the filtering system . The mitigation company had to come over and dry out the basement and replace the carpet, walls and trim . I called them 20 times and no one bother to call me back even ones. read more

It's because I can't give zero stars. I don't review places but today I'm livid. We were looking to get reverse osmosis done at our place and we have called a week prior and let them know our timings since my husband and I both work and asked for the first morning appointment available. The afternoon before I received a text saying they can come anywhere from 7am-9pm. I immediately called and said that's not ok we have to go to work so I was told anywhere between 8am-9am. The next day no one showed up. I received a text at 835am that someone was on their way. When I called they said they were running behind. No one bothered to call us and tell us that...I had to call. Then I was told between 130-330 so my husband said he would come home early and just do a half day. It's 341pm and I get a text that not someone is on his way. I call and it was still going to be another 30-45 mins. When I called the office I was given 100 excuses and no solution. Needless to say make sure to take your entire day off in order to wait for them. I will never think about this company again. read more

From the initial sales consultation, to addressing our well water issues, to the install...every step of the way they have been helpful, knowledgeable and professional. When we had questions and concerns about the low water output of our well, they were able to come up with a solution that worked. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you read more

Worse customer service and they don't take responsibility. Tried to get someone out to work on our chlorine system(which has not worked properly since it was installed). and we were put off for 2 weeks because they only come out on Tuesdays and I happened to call on a Tuesday morning. So they scheduled me for the following Tuesday. I call the Monday before to tell them I needed an appointment for the next day in the afternoon and even though the schedule was not made, they scheduled me for the morning. Because I was not home, they could not schedule me for another week. PLEASE READ THE COMPLAINT FILED ON THE BBB SITE. If you read the complaint, you will see they went tit-for-tat. Never stepped up to resolve the issues. I have nothing but good things to say about the techs and the gentlemen that picked up their water softener. (I canceled the service) We have called and emailed the company to have the owner Jon call us to resolve that matter regarding the service and the chlorine system that has not worked and we are still waiting for a response. Needless to say, we will be canceling all 3 accounts. read more

Not sure about the other reviews, could be there are alot of Johnsons out there. Be sure to call this number. I was looking for a new water softener service, as my original guy Tim became quite angry and unprofessional. Rick Fields came out to service my Autotrol valve unit, and immediately tested the unit, replaced a filter-that was never looked at in the 8 years Tim serviced it--cleaned another, checked the brine tank and ran the system. My water was inconsistently softening, but now we're all set. Great quick service. My new go to company. read more

They made a bad situation good! They issued me a complete refund for a service call that wasn't needed. They were understanding and fundamentally fair. read more

Fast and honest service. Great response and reasonably priced.

All of a sudden we had rust in our well water and it was clogging our whole house filter. Our well company suggest we call Johnson Water. They came out and tested the water. It showed a high volume of iron. They installed a Water Conditioning unit and took out our existing filter. This unit cleans itself each night so no more changing filters weekly! We are very satisfied and would recommend Johnson Water. read more

Not only was the exact same system half the price of what we were quoted by another company, their customer service is top notch. They are honest with you and not looking for an easy sell as well as continue to assist with anything isn't working well or additional questions we had after installation. Highly recommend. read more

We replaced an old softener that had the control pad fail. The water tastes better and is neither hard nor over softened for the first time. Water test strips came back with perfect results. Very pleased with this system. read more

Martin and Chris were great. Very personable and informative. It was not an easy install because the old system, also a Johnson, dated back to 2004, and to another owner - and to another set of city ordinances. So a way had to be devised to make this new installation 'legal.' Took a few hours but they didn't give up and I now have a more efficient and much quieter system. Thanks, guys! read more

We had to replace our water softener. We called and setup an appointment with there Technician Jason was the best. He went through all our options was very knowledgeable and professional. They gave us a quote and we decided to go with them. They had a great communication on the date and time of the install. The installation went great and we are very pleased with the unit and the installer Martin. He communicated the whole process of the installation and gave us training on using our new softener. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We can recommend them you will not be disappointed. Thank you guys for everything! read more

Their equipment was leaking all over the basement in a brand new house. They fix it, but need to pay a huge service call fee, for some reason. These guys don't do it right the 1st time, then they charge you again to come back & do it again. read more

Would have been a 5, but the technician had to come back out to replace tank because originally did not have overflow valve. Jen in Customer Service was great, as was the Technician Martin. read more

I have used Johnson water for the past three years. They are absolutely fantastic...I need a last minute appointment and it's always accommodated, I have questions and the service tech is so helpful, they cured the high iron content in my water with an affordable solution...and I can keep going. I woudl not hesistate to reccommend this company...they are wonderful. read more

We have been using Johnson Water for over 10 years, water softener, iron filter system and under the sink RO system. I have never had a bad experience, each tech that has come out for service has been great. They know their systems and can take care of any of your water issues. read more

Every time we have called to have them come out they are very quick to schedule an appointment that just a few days after. Very polite when we called to schedule an appointment. Also the service tech Jason, who we have had every time we have called is knowledgeable about his job, polite and always a pleasure to have come do our water service. read more

We had an older water softening system and iron buster that was past its life span. I made one phone call and Austin was at my house the very next day. He looked at my old system and suggested what I should do. I looked around and compared prices with other water treatment companies, Johnson was by far the best priced. Austin came out and installed the new larger water softening system and a new Iron buster tank. I would I highly recommend Johnson Water Conditioning because they take the time to explain every aspect of the equipment that you are purchasing and you know you are purchasing top-of-the-line equipment. read more

Bought a house year ago in unincorporated area that uses well water. Water was not terrible but it was not great and I have always been used to city water. I can tell my water softener & iron tank was old and I was tired of messing with it to try figure out how to get great water. My water was consistently smelling and I always needed to let water run awhile before using. I called up and talked to Greg who had next day availability to check out my problem. He provided fair pricing for both leasing and buying. I signed up and by end of week they sent Austin who did amazing installation work. The next day I could immediately tell my water is great and no more smell as soon as you turn it on. It's been almost a month now and I'm still impressed their water softener & iron system fixed all my water problems. I recommend this company to anyone with water problems or just want great clean water!! read more

Just had Johnson company come out to look at my softener, which has appeared not to be working for about 3-4 weeks. The associate's name was Jason and he called ahead and gave me a time slot and then arrived inside of that slot. He needed all of about 15-20 mins and said he had it back working like new after installing some new valves. He gave me a lot of helpful advice about how well it's working now, when to add salt, and how to set my hardness ratio on the machine. For the $100 bucks that included the visit and the time and the parts, this was truly well spent money. I really appreciated the rare professionalism from my initial call until the problem was fixed. The associate very kindly answered all my questions patiently. When I need another softener, these guys are getting my first call. First rate operation. read more

I have been a customer for 28 years and have always been happy until about 2 months ago. I have recommended this company numerous times but can no longer do that. I called to find out how much it would cost to move my tank a short distance to a corner instead of it sitting out in the way. I was told it had to be moved by them and not my plumber, but it would not be expensive. I even sent them pictures. I asked if they would estimate around $200-$300 and the response was yes probably. I was charged $650. I would have worked around the tank rather than move it if I t was going to be this expensive. I have been in contact with them numerous times and promised phone calls back but that doesn't seem to always happen. I did receive one phone call that they were going to waive my rental fee, but he wasn't sure how long. I was told he would get back to me on that , and I never received a return phone call. This whole ordeal has left a pit in my stomach. I have spent 2 months trying to come up with a fair resolution. I will be moving on with a lesson to not trust everyone you are loyal to. read more

Great customer service. Very knowledgeable installer. Could it be happier with how well things went.

Great communication and service from the beginning! Talked through every option and what would work best for my house, no hidden extra charges or upselling! read more

We had a really good experience with Johnson Water Conditioning. Fair price, good installation. We can now drink our water and it tastes great! We also like supporting local businesses and they were certainly worthy. Highly recommended. read more

So happy with this company. Rented from them for 7 years. Had no problems-service is great and very professional!! read more

If I could give a "0", I would. Terrible service practices. The worst ever treatment I've received from a professional company. After renting for years and then buying, they came for a repair that went wrong and our calls were met with lie after lie regarding a resolution and we found our our refund was going to be in cash because the serviceman was going to come out and pay us from his own money because the company wouldn't refund it by credit card. The owner is arrogant and will belittle you if you question him, as he does in responding to reviews and as he did in the BBB review I did of him. RUN FROM THIS BUSINESS! read more

We had held off getting a water conditioning system for our hard water (from a well) and finally did it last week. Wonderful customer service and the installer was informative, on time and more than happy to answer our questions. We realize now that we should have had this installed sooner as our appliances and pipes have added several more years of rust and minerals. DO NOT hesitate - call them ASAP! read more

I was in need of a new iron filter. Johnson Water came out and looked at my very old system and gave me a quote for a new system. After looking at my setup I was told it was an easy setup and would be easy. I set up an appointment for an install for the following week. Technician was here on time with a mask. He was very curtious and completed the new install quickly. Answered all of my questions. I was very happy with the overall process. In addition the called me the next week to see if everything was running smoothly and if I had any questions. A job well done! read more

I moved to Algonquin and transferred ownership of a water softener unit with the purchase of my home. I was happy with no complaints about the previous service I left behind, but Johnson Water Conditioning has far exceeded my expectations. The office is always friendly and helpful, and I thought I hit the jackpot of customer service with Jason, who is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. However, today during a unit replacement for leakage, Matt came out. He also was very friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent at explaining everything about my new unit and what he was doing. After cleaning up his work area, he asked if I had any other questions. I explained that I didn't know anything about changing filters on my reverse osmosis. So he took the time to tell me what filters I needed and how to install them. Johnson Water Conditioning service in Algonquin has been a great experience, and I highly recommend them. read more

We live on well and septic here in Medinah, and use Johnson Water's reverse osmosis system, and love how our water tastes. We also rent an iron remover too. We have had excellent customer service from Johnson Water and are very happy with the company. I would highly recommend them! read more
