I will put it as simple as this. If I operated my company in the way Premier Water Systems operates their company I would be OUT OF BUSINESS.
Our water filtration SOLUTION is supposed to provide us clean water for bathing, doing laundry and dishes as well as for drinking water. At this time myself, my wife and my two children (13 and 7) have been with out decent water or water pressure for 10 months.
Three things I notice EVERY TIME we need service:
1) As a company they are incredibly disorganized, not knowing what type of system or tanks we have or what service should entail.
They are quick to replace things with zero promise as to if it:
(a) In fact actually needs to be done (lot's of guessing)
(b) if it will actually fix the problem.
In the past 10 months we have had FOUR site visits from Premier. Techs have been sent with the wrong sized tank (second time), and most recently was sent (and told to replace) $200+ worth of filters that were only replaced 5 months ago for drinking water only. When they did send the tech with the correct sized tank they did not send him with a new head which has resulted AGAIN in a delay.
The tech hoped they could get out the following day with the head as he was surprised we were getting any water out of it at all... the next morning we woke up with almost no water by evening we had none. It has been a week now and we are being told 2 more weeks as they are "trying to get us in sooner". You would think that we would be a priority at this point.
2) In my opinion the majority of the techs DO NOT want to work in a dugout crawl space (although it is a poured concrete - clean - area) and have pretty much refused to do the necessary work to identify the problem(s) in our system when onsite and would rather guess as to what the problem might be. I have specifically asked if they could just remove the head to identify if there was a problem in the tank or head; there has not been one tech to open up our system until our most recent technician- 10 months later - to identify that our iron breaker was in fact JAMMED with iron AND the head was likely bad as well (which he did not have on his truck resulting in another delay)
3) The company itself refuses to accept any responsibility for terrible service; rather, they talk about the things that have been ASSUMED by the techs (no techs up until last week have opened up tanks - always an excuse, the wrong sized screwdriver or wrench) on the service orders; "blocked pipes" causing "low pressure" a "bad well" it's always something to do with us or our well.
They NEVER return calls back without follow up calls as they have promised, we always have to follow up on every call back.
I have NEVER heard an apology from the office and you would think that with this many issues the owner would have at least tried to reach out at this point, but the tech's reaction onsite speak loudly enough... they seem to be never surprised and have at times appeared frustrated and disappointed.
- We have been without proper water pressure for 10 months and now have no water. This has caused our hot water and our heat to shut off regularly due to the on demand system showing low pressure in the system as well as when doing laundry. At times we have had little to no pressure at all when the system backwashes. This has been blamed on our well, and our pipes. Due to their recommendations I have called a plumber and replaced our lines into the iron breaker as well as a well company to assess our well (7 years old). There has been no change in pressure.
- We currently have no water available through our system after our most recent service (a week ago) and are now operating off of raw, unfiltered - iron filled water not suitable for washing dishes or doing laundry. It smells. stains everything, and I question it's safety so we are also not showering at our residence any longer until the repairs have been completed. In addition, after the tech serviced our system we completely lost prime to our well. This has never happened before and I find it coincidental that it occurred immediately after service.
Basically....
If you hire this company:
Expect to wait for service.
Expect to have delay after delay.
Don't expect for them to get you up and running in a timely manner.
And NEVER expect to be satisfied. read more
