Ordered several parts for freshwater system... one lacked an o-ring as advertised which made the part useless. I emailed the company via the website system and have not heard an answer yet some 2 weeks later. Disappointed and now I must take time during work day to run someone down and complain. SKU 159-15 "O-Ring Assembly 15 mm" Steve

John was a great help!
August 22, 2015

I had such a frustrating experience with a large delivery (for me) last year that I was just about to quit doing business with Fresh Water Systems. I sent an email to FWS a few weeks ago, John answered, and he resolved my concerns about a repeat debacle. I placed my order, John coordinated it with the warehouse, and I had it in just a few days. Just like the old days.

Reorder
August 22, 2015

On a. Reorder via phone, I impressed on her that it has to the same spec. One set of filter s was the wrong size. Equally important to note that they arrived with no packing material and box not fully seated. I called to complain and was supposed to have an RA to ship back the incorrect filter before they will ship the Correct one. In the meantime I cannot change my filtration system.

Since it not an error on my end why should I have to be. Penalized.

Unable to cancel order
August 22, 2015

I placed an order for the wrong item and didn't realize that my
Husband was able to locate the item from a friend. I
Called freshwatersystems right away (within 3 hours) and was
Told oh well you can't cancel the order it's already been
Sent to the warehouse. I didn't even receive a confirmation
Of shipment for another few hours. I understand that it was
My mistake but they didn't try to make it right. I know have to
Follow the very complicated return instructions and pay a 15-20%
Restocking fee. Unfortunately I'm now out $55+ dollars and
Will not be using this company again. Such a pain!

We are a business that focuses on water treatment. Fresh Water has what we need most, and they have the stock to back it up. Their prices are very competitive, and give discounts for volume purchases. We highly recommend Fresh Water to everyone.

Spa filter delight extravaganza
August 22, 2015

Well let's see, first the UPS guy came by and dropped off a package just like Santa at Christmas time. I got real excited and quickly opened the box and Whammo! There inside was our new spa tub filter. Now this filter model was bigger than the required size and I knew this but was hoping it would fit and it did Hallelujah! So I proceeded to drain and clean the tub. Did that, put it all back together and the water is full up and heating as we speak. Hope this describes my experience satisfactory for you all. And again Thanks for asking. Not.

Water filter purchase
August 22, 2015

System is required for soda machine, the whole process from research to purchase took less than 10 minutes and was very easy.
Product arrived a few days later. I am completely satisfied with the entire purchase and the price was pretty good too.
