Company to AVOID aT ALL COST: Aqua System 4080 Indianola Ave. Columbus, OH. 43214. Phone: 614- 265-9000. Website: www.ilovemywater.com Coupon Used: $150 for $300 Credit Toward Your New Water Softener! Purchased on: September 25, 2013 Aqua Systems Nothing...but make our water disgusting. They insured my husband this was the top of the line model. He left after installation and the water smelled like rotten eggs. Mind you, our outdoor water does not run through the softner system ever. We called him back and told him our issue immediately, however, it was no rush for them. We knew then this shi**y company was ready to play hardboard ball. By the time they came back out, our water still smelled awful (sulfur) also hard water, scale was everywhere including a calcium type of mineral build up that was growing quickly on the rims of our planters. He re-adjusted the water settings. My husband showed him all the hard water that was forming everywhere along with the scales on the plant rims. He tries once again to readjust the settings and now states we must have issues with our well. Again, outside well water has never had a sulfur smell. It's indoors and has to be traced to the softner. He informed us that we should have our well checked. He took no responsibility. Again, after a couple of weeks, the water still smelled full of sulfur and the hard water was back and it was extremely worse. I got up one day and was filling 2 dogs and 1 cat water bowel. I was also putting water in the kettle for coffee and I started the washer to put in a load. When the water that I put in the kettle, water bowls, and water looked brownish, I got very suspicious and filled a clear cup with water. It was disgustingly brown and so was everything else I had done. I hope I can upload them so all may view. Well, I tried to upload them with no luck. And below is my water kettle which was purchased after they installed their piece of crap. If you look closely, you can see the bottom of it with hard water. Needless to say, we are only drinking bottled water Again, another phone call to them. My Husband gets the owner of the company on the phone. He explains all the issues in a very frustrated tone. We expected a pronto appointment with someone who was more familiar with there products. NOPE, the owner states it's going to be a few weeks. What the h***?? Owner rambles crap about people on vacation and they are sooooooo busy. In order to get some assistance sooner, my husband had to take a day off to sit and wait. The owner of the company stated that should no be happening. No upgraded service at all...just their spit flying our way. They comeback the third time. We again show them sighs of hard water stains, scale buildup and ever sign of hard water. We show them photos of what was happening. Again, he made softner adjustments (which are not working). Again, he states it's our well. Not possible because there softner adjustment have never worked. He tells my husband to call this well guy who knows a lot about this....he gives my husband the phone number. Husband is dumbfounded and tells them their C.S. IS UNBELIEVABLE. He states that it's ridiculesss that he has to call this guy and set the appointment up. The Service guy stumbles upon his words an says he will call. Husband states to forget it and has them leave. Husband calls well guy but no call back. Also, we had no idea who was paying for the well service company. Since this company has been so unreliable, uncaring, and rude, we assumed it was us but still no phone call. Also, no call from the company. We want this piece of junk removed along with a full refund.

Description of Work: Definition of hard water: Hardness in drinking water is defined as those minerals that dissolve in water having a positive electrical charge. The primary components of hardness are calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++) ions. Dissolved iron (Fe++) and manganese (Mn++) also satisfy the definition of hardness, but typically make up only a very small fraction of total hardness. Minerals are composed of either atoms or molecules. An atom or molecule that has dissolved in water is called an “ion.” Positively charged ions are called cations and are noted as (+). A double sign would indicate a plus two electrical charge. Contaminants having a similar positive charge would be removed by a matching type of ion exchange resin, i.e. water softening. HEALTH EFFECTS OF HARDNESS The presence or absence of the hardness minerals in drinking water is not known to pose a health risk to users. Hardness is normally considered an aesthetic water quality factor. The presence of some dissolved mineral material in drinking water is typically what gives the water its characteristic and pleasant taste. At higher concentrations however, hardness creates the following consumer problems. • Produces soap scum most noticeable on tubs and showers. • Produces white mineral deposits on dishes more noticeable on clear glassware. • Reduces the efficiency of devices that heat water. As hardness deposits build in thickness, they act like insulation, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer. Nothing...but make our water disgusting.
