We had a water softener and a complete house water filter system installed in our newly built home on August 23, 2021. 2 months later I walked into our basement to find 30' of water line that was installed with only 5 hangers, which 3 of 5 hose hangers broke, and was hanging 4' from the basement floor.
This 30' water line was held up with 5 hose hangers spanning over 12 joists. WTH.
The installer and the owner's brother came to our home and brought a ladder that was to high, so I let them use my ladder. The brother said someone stolen their electric screwdriver so they were unable to remove the few hose hangers that was installed with 4" screws so I had to do this myself. The installer asked for help to install a 45 degree water hose connector because she didn't have the strength, so the brother got on the ladder and tried, then used a hammer to be sure it was connected.
I was surprised that after calling this company he kept saying everyone give this this installer all 5's on their reviews. Does everyone know how to install this system, so if they could they would have installed it themselves or have Lowe's installed it.
Why can't Water pro's have the right tools so the customer doesn't have to do it. I paid Water Pro's $2,295.00 to do a professional job.
Looking at the work order. I was charged $1895.00 for the water-softener and filter system and $400.00 for 4 - 20 lbs bags of salt WTH.
I sure got ripped off.
I went on to Lowe's website and this is what I found:
30' of hose and clamps would be around $45.00, the water-softener and filter system was a bundle under $800.00, and the salt bags run under $6.00 which is would have been $24.00. 3 hours of labor at $125.00 is $375.00. Which would have been around $1,244.00.
In simple mathematics I paid well over $1,050.00 WTH. I sure was taken to the cleaners.
Oh yes I forgot to say that the owner on the phone asked when was it installed and how much did I pay and he told me he would return my money for such a unprofessional job.
The next day he called and wanted to inspect this job himself even after I sent him numerous pictures of a sloppy unprofessional job. I said my wife and I would never have them work in my home again since I had to fix some of the job since they didn't have the right tools. He said he was sad to hear that, so I guess he forgot to return my money too.
Then two days later after she fixed this terrible job, she messed up the water system draining the water softener to release the water pressure so it was giving out regular water, not soften/not filtered. I had to flush the water softener myself which took an hour to have clean water again. I think when she emptied the water softener tank it skipped the regular schedule water cycle.
Again their installer can't complete the job at hand.
This entire system was purchased from Lowe's, I should have had Lowe's installer do this job. I'm sure it would have been in a more professional installation!
I picked this company because they said they were prior military but, what I know now there would be no way I would have Water Pro's do anything for us ever again. read more
