      Status:
      Resolved
      We were sold the whole house water filtration service by United Hydro sometime around 08/2022 on the premises that we would never have to worry about hard water (as long as we added softener) and that if we ever needed a technician to come out there wouldn't be any charges/fees. Even if we moved to a different state (without limitations to how frequent we move) they would move our water filtration systems for free and it would maintain it's warranty. Besides the cost of the product, me and my wife were lead to believe all we would ever need to pay for in the future is filters for under the sink and additional solution that cleans the water softener unit. So thinking this was a great deal we bought into it. At first, our water was noticeably softer. Now that it's been some time, I'm noticing the hard water problem came back. I have followed up with all maintenance they require and keep the salt topped off at all times. I think the system just needs to be adjusted as we're getting mineral deposits everywhere water evaporates on a surface (cups, sinks, shower, etc...). I tested for dissolved solids and it read over 350. Knowing this might be as simple of a fix as adjusting the system knob to dispense more/less salt - I called for my second service appointment today - 11/16/2023. They informed me there would be a service fee for almost $100! I told the rep that we were mislead and she failed to do anything to resolve it. Not only was I not expecting any fee from over-paying for a filter system and promised we only pay for filters/solution, but we had a service from them on 7/24 where they used shady practices too! Our first service call was a little less than a year after our installation. I called and they said the price to replace the under-sink filter was $200. They failed to mention this price included a service fee and just the filter. If I knew I would have just easily installed them myself!

      I have been a long time customer and was just treated like I didnt matter, no remorse or understanding of the situation just company policy and that was that. I had a technician scheduled for today but got a reminder late last night about a doctors appointment, so I had to wait until 9am to reschedule which is what I did. I thought ever Was taken care of when I get a call five minutes later from another female employee who says there will be a fifty dollar cancellation fee due to no 24hr notice. I was taken back and asked the representative why the last employee never made me aware of this policy. I told her had I been made aware I would have just rescheduled the doctors appointment so I didnt have to pay the fifty dollars. No matter what I said she just kept saying its company policy which I get but it was the way the whole thing was handled that brought me to frustration and then anger ??. I work with customers everyday and I see our competitor handling their customers in a very similar fashion, which has caused that company to lose many of their long time customers. After today I guess I will be looking for a new water company because I dont want to be treated that way ever again! I enter about five or six homes everyday and so do my twenty plus Coworkers. I guess I will have to let them know to warn against UDI and to not recommend them to our customers. I just spent $450.00 having my tank refilled and this is the treatment I get, unreal!!!

      ******. as you know, everything was taken care of and we have been trying to figure out together how to update this review. I called you immediately upon receiving this review and worked out any issues ( you actually had not been charged for cancelling your service call within 24 hour because they was a grace ****** for the first time this happens but no one told you!). Regardless service was performed and from our conversations, you are perfectly happy. Unfortunately, we have not been able to update this review! But the good news is everything has been handled and resolved!
