Poor customer service
January 7, 2016

Ordered several filters and parts. One of the parts which was ordered, ESO DC-100 Electronic Shut-Off https://www.freshwatersystems.com/p-1243-electronic-shut-off-solenoid-valve-with-qc-fittings-24vac.aspx was not shipped in my order. They instead shipped me a solenoid from a different manufacturer which not only was less in price but did not have the needed connector. So the person picking the order grabs a transformer and a pressure switch both with molex connectors but then grabs a solenoid with no connector. Called customer service, Scott (cust service) explained Alcon is out of business, part no longer made. Yet, weeks later, this part still shows as available. So they have another clueless person in customer service. We agreed to have them send me a return label, once they have their part back, they will refund the difference and ship another part with the correct connector. After a few days, no email. Therefore I did a search on this company and found many similar stories of poor customer service. I then emailed Scott and asked if they could send me a harness that I could cut apart and use on the solenoid. Nope, they don't have any... waited a few days for that answer. Then after a week of waiting, they finally got around to emailing me a return label. By then I had already purchased the harness elsewhere, and had it installed and working. By their timetable, I would have waited the week for the return label, a week for them to receive the part, another week for them to ship the correct part out, another week for me to receive. This is customer dis-service. The return label should have gone out an hour after my call to them not a week.

Needed to do routine maintenance and replace the leaky RO faucet. Was able to purchase everything from this site. Order arrived promptly, without errors, and was even sent a tracking number for the order. Was able to get free shipping since I ordered above the minimum, but would like the minimum to be lower for the free shipping.

Simple GF part
January 6, 2016

The part I was looking for was extremely hard to find in your online parts catalogue the only way I found it was to do a google search of the manufacture part number then your site came up with having it. I had previously searched your site to no avail.

Distiller parts
January 6, 2016

I was able to repair my water distiller for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. The site was easy to navigate and the purchase experience was smooth and convenient.

Great Price
January 6, 2016

I replaced my reverse osmosis tank for less than half the price I had previously paid elsewhere, and delivery was super fast. I had my system up and running in plenty of time for Christmas day, which was very important.

I've been buying from Freshwater Systems for more than a year. I have bought RO water systems and filter replacements for me and family members. The products are of good quality and the prices are better than other places. Excellent service. Very happy buying from them

Sent wrong part/item
January 5, 2016

Sent us completely different system than we ordered, admitted it was their fault and said they don't carry advertised item, offered us $20 back on a $699 system. We refused their offer and are awaiting a fed ex call back. They would rather take back their item than provide customer service. Do not purchase anything from them!

Exactly as advertised
January 5, 2016

I had been looking for a showerhead that would look stylish and provide a strong water flow for our guests to enjoy. When I found FreshwaterSystems, they had many choices to fit my needs. The showerhead has performed exactly as was stated on the website. I am very happy with the purchase.

Really?
January 4, 2016

Ordered the 12 pack 1 year supply of Bio Clean several weeks ago at a cost of $75. I was notified that my package had been delivered. To my surprise, all I received was a fridge magnet. So of course I called to see what the mix up might be. After approximately 30 minutes on hold I finally got a warm body. After holding for additional time, he finally told me he was sorry for the mix up and would promptly ship my product. And a few days later it arrived. Another stupid magnet. Really?
