This company gets 5+ stars
September 28, 2015

Through some shipping error I received entirely the wrong item from Freshwater Systems. I contacted them, and they immediately shipped me the correct item -- in an entirely different country. No ifs or buts, and no shipping charges. These people give perfect service, and they get both thumbs up from me.

Excellant Customer Service
September 27, 2015

A pleasure doing business with you. We had a problem with an invoice from over a year ago that was before I became manager. Very pleasant attitude from customer service rep. I don't remember her name, but she deserves a RAISE!
Thank you,

Replacement Tank Purchase.
September 27, 2015

Ordered my tank on-line and received it the 2nd morning at my front door. Best on-line purchasing experience I have ever had. My pump was back in service that same afternoon.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do
September 27, 2015

Good product. Gave me an air gap that I needed. I was hoping that 3/4 pvc would fit on top though.

Very Disappointed
September 27, 2015

I ordered two filters three weeks ago. They came in cracked, so i took the pictures and requested two more sent. So I waited another week for the replacement, only for those to come in cracked too! They where not wrapped at all bubble wrap was placed only on the top of the filters. So I am now waiting again for my replacement filters from the first replacement filters.

I have ordered from this site before and have had no problems. I received my order in a couple of days and will continue to order my replacement filters from them. They saved me a lot of money!

Sorry, but not again.
September 27, 2015

Compared to today's online order standards - disappointed.

Day 1: ordered 12 items. One item showed available in 1-2days
Day 3: was told that one item in no longer available - but order would ship immediately if I choose a suggested replacement item. Called in the morning and removed the item from the list to speed up things. (refund was handled without problem).
Day7: No shipping notice yet, checked back in - order not yet shipped - "immediately" promise was declared bug in email template.
Day8: Shipping notice received.
Day14!: Package received. (they did not accelerate shipment even though they "would try their best to do so".
I wished I could post a picture of the shipment. Was almost tempted to return it. A heavy booster pump was thrown in a big box with no seperate packaging at all - togehter with all other smaller items. By the time the box arrived the pump had caused the box to rip open and lost 3 of 4 of the rubber spacers. Worst packaging job I've seen for a long time.

Summary: Had to order one item somewhere else (arrived well before), Waited almost 3 times the promised time. Got a banged up shipment not knowing if there's a lasting issue with the pump.

Website needs work
September 27, 2015

I spent a great deal of time trying to get your website to accept my ship to address. It kept changing my bill to address when I entered a ship to address among other issues with addresses.

I finally had to call in my order to get the correct ship to and bill to address entered.

Backorder?
September 26, 2015

My order was delayed due to a backorder but this was never communicated. I sent an email through the web site questing the delay and still got not response. Almost four weeks later I was emailed that the part had shipped.

Bear island Water System
September 27, 2015

I pro iced the replacement Ultraviolet light at several retailers. This will be the fourth replacement bulb I've needed. All the retail stores had increased their pricing to roughly $150-$175 for this bulb. A neighbor, who had helped me install this seasonal home water system seven years ago, suggested FreshwaterSystems. He only shops at Freshwater Systems for his replacement bulls. I went on-line and found your replacement bulb was about $94 and included free shipping. That is about what I paid for my first replacement bulb some seven years ago. I placed the order and had my bulb about four days later. Superb pricing, suburb delivery.

House water pump purchase.
September 26, 2015

I found the pump that matched what was in our motor home, on their web site, and they offered free shipping. Since I wanted 2 day delivery, as we were preparing to leave on a trip, I phoned and the lady was very helpful, and assured me we'd have it on time. The correct pump arrived right on schedule.
I also found that their price was way below what I'd found elsewhere for the same item.
It had everything included to make the installation easy and complete.
What a difference the new pump makes in our house water pressure.
