We've experienced excellent water and great service from The WaterMan since 2011. This was the year we needed to rebed the whole house filter, and I was pleased that the price for the new one remained the same. David arrived on time, wore a face mask per COVID guidelines and sanitized before he left.

I ordered it from him direct. He actually came out to the house and whatnot. It was a fantastic experience. I would recommend them again. He was responsive to questions right away. He provided multiple options. And provided a lot of information to help me decide between them.
Description of Work: They installed a water softener and a whole home water filter.

Excellent product. Water tastes terrific. Better than bottled water. Only about $800 for a whole house system. Best d vision we ever made. Everyone should have one of these systems. Was told Columbus has over 256 chemicals in it's water. This system eliminates many of them & chlorine too.
Description of Work: Installed whole house water filter about a year and a half ago in this house. Provides routine pre filter replacements as needed. Installed the same system in our previous house about 7 years ago and never missed a pre filter change or upgrade as needed. Also put in a similar system in two of my offices.

Description of Work: Installed a whole house water filter. It was difficult to get a hold of them in the beginning, but the installation was quick. This system is definitely more complicated than dumping salt in a water softener once a year, and I feel like some of the details were left out until the guy came out to install the filter and explained the whole process - pre-filters that have to be changed every four months and then the whole unit has to be replaced every two years. I wish we had known that BEFORE installation.

Doug was very thorough when he came to review our situation and the installation of the filter was completed very professionally. We have only been using the system for a short time but we are very happy with the end result. We highly recommend The Waterman if you have a iron and sulfer issue with your well water. Doug is honest and can be trusted to fix your problem.

The water pressure in our home had been an issue with our previous system and he assured us that it would improve. It is the best it has ever been and the water tastes great!

When I called Waterman to ask questions about the best system for our home that would provide clean filtered water, Doug seemed very knowledgable about water softeners and filtering systems. We wanted a system that would not include salt in our water, but not be so expensive as a whole house reverse osmosis system would have been. Doug believes in providing his customers with healthy clean water. He installed a fibersorb system that combats calcium deposits which we had and also a carbon filter that filters out most all pesticides, chemicals from our well water. It's only been in two weeks and already our filter from our well showed debris which is obviously dirt and/or sand that is being brought up from our well which means we need to get a filter in our well. We would not have known this otherwise. He was more than willing to come out and change out the filter he had put in only two weeks ago.
Description of Work: Doug installed a fibersorb filter system along with a carbon filter system to make our well water clean and pure.

Doug came over to assess my water and how the pipes are arranged, then recommended the correct size filter for our house. Turns out the smallest filter works fine for us. We set an installation date, where Doug installed and tested the filter. We had a slight problem, which Doug came over right away to take care of. I am a totally satisfied customer!
Description of Work: Installed a whole-house water filtration system. This is not a water softener, but a 2-part filter that takes out practically ALL of the harmful chemicals and contaminants in our water and leaves the healthful minerals in the water. The water tastes wonderful and my skin and hair are softer after showering! We even have increased water pressure.

THIS IS FOR SERVICE ON A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM (NOT REALLY A WATER SOFTENER). THIS IS THE SECOND REPLACEMENT TANK FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE FILTER THAT DOUG ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN OUR HOME IN 2001. WE ARE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE SYSTEM'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND ESPECIALLY THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY DOUG. HE IS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS AND THOROUGH. HE ALWAYS GOES "ABOVE AND BEYOND" TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. ONE EXAMPLE OF HIS SERVICE IS THE OFFER TO COME TO YOUR HOME TO REPLACE THE PREFILTER ON THE UNIT THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE UNIT AT NO CHARGE (A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD 3-MINUTE OPERATION THAT IS EASILY DONE BY THE HOMEOWNER ABOUT ONCE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS). ANOTHER IS THE FACT THAT HE PROVIDES A CREDIT ON REPLACEMENT TANKS FOR EVERY MONTH PRIOR TO THE 2-YEAR GUARANTEE IF THE FILTER TANK NEEDS REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO THE 2-YEARS. HE IS ALWAYS ONTIME AND RESPONSIVE TO CALLS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE WATERMAN TO EVERYONE.
