I purchased and installed a 5600SE 24,000 grain water softener
from your company back in February 2007. I waited until now
to write because I wanted to see if any gremlins would surface
once the unit had been in service (two previous softeners
that I installed in this house, purchased from a major retailer,
both started exhibiting problems in the first couple of years
of operation - around the time that the warranties ran out
and most replacement parts became very hard to come by).
I'm pleased to say that this softener's performance
has been flawless. The city water here is very hard
(with untreated water, the dishes look worse AFTER going through
the dishwasher), but the softener handles it easily, and uses
very little salt in the process. Thanks for a good product
at an excellent price.

Hi Craig, I bought a Greensand Filter, Sediment filter, and
a Pentek Big Blue from you last July 2007. All is working
great by the way. Our water went from rotten eggs smell and
iron stains on fixtures to perfectly clear, clean, odorless
awsome water.
Thank you,

Received the item yesterday and Russell @ R&S did an excellent
job at installing the water softener. I wish I could take
a photo of it to show you but my camera is broken. The little
details that Russell did during his install proved to me he
really loves his work and the end results shows it. Both of
you guys will be highly recommended to my family and friends,
thanks for the great service. Also thank you for recommending
Russell.
Sincerely,

Man, are you guys quick—I was gone for one day and just notice
it in my garage—thanks for the quick shipment!
July 2008
When I have time I will reexamine my install. Your group
has always been very helpful; even before the purchase. I
have 4 friends that have bought from you based on my recommendation.
Thanks for helping me. Hopefully I can increase that number
from 4 in the near future.
Thanks again for your time.

Hi, I just finished installing the new Fleck 5600SE Metered
24k Grain water softener. I was replacing a GE super 35 water
softener which the circuit board went down. They wanted $240
for a replacement board. It took about 2 hours to exchange
the 2 units and about 1 hour for setup and testing. The new
water softener seems to work great. I'm very happy at this
time. You saved me a lot of money and trouble working on that
other unit. Installation was easy and your instructions I
downloaded from your site was great and very helpful.
Thanks again,
Robert Campbell

Thanks so much for the info, really appreciate you responding
so quickly. That was my next question about how much to add
of the carbon. So thanks for answering that as well. Sorry
to have bothered you on the 4th. Thanks again and have a great
day.

I purchased the softener above (Fleck 5600SE) about six years
ago and it's been working great since installation. Can I
add the mediaguard for city water and the high capacity resin?
I assume that I would need to take the resin tank apart, but
I put it together the first time, so reversing the process
wouldn't be all that big a deal, I guess. Possible, or not?
Thanks. BTW, I also recently bought a Fleck 7000SE with the
'goodies' for installation at a house I'm overhauling for
retirement living in Manchaca, TX. Looking forward to getting
it installed next week.

Your instructions were very helpful and I've re-programmed
the refill time. Thank you for taking the time to help me
with my problem, I well be refering everyone I know that wants
a water softener to your company.

On Feb. 6th I ordered your Fleck 5600SE Water Softener. I
received it on the 12th, I looked at the directions and decided
that I could install the unit myself. So I went to the hardware
store and purchased the parts you said I needed. I followed
your easy to read directions and got the unit up and running
in about 4 hours. It was very easy.
It has been about 3 weeks and I am enjoying some of the best
water that I have ever had.
Thanks for everything,

Hello,
I just want to thank you for a pleasant and efficient transaction,
and to thank Craig Phillips for his good advice and suggestions.
The instructions for the setup were also clear and to the
point. I will recommend Quality Water Treatment to anyone
wishing to purchase a softener.

It has been nearly 5 years since I bought my water softener
from you and I simply wanted to write you to thank you again
for the great prices, service and products you provide. I
just got off of the phone with my wife’s uncle; he bought
a water softener from you a few years ago on my recommendation
and he was calling to ask me what your website address was
because he couldn’t remember (not a web-savvy guy) and he
was going to refer another family member to your company.
He has also been very happy with the water softener he purchased
from you and neither of us have had ANY problems with the
water softeners we purchased; not one!
I am glad you keep the testimonial I originally sent you
on your current website because it helped me find your site
quickly; I simply entered the phrases "jason bunting" and
"water softener" into Google and your site came up! By the
way, your site looks great! After almost 5 years of uninterrupted
service, I am more than pleased with the water softener I
purchased from you; I practically don’t even know it is there
because it does the job it is meant to do without problems
(if only it would fill itself full of salt!).
Thanks again!

I purchased a FilterSorb SP water softening system from you around 10 months ago and it has been working great, no spotting on fixtures or dishes.

Your pre-assembly and simplified instructions helped a lot.
I was replacing one of the Sears units and had 3/4 inch IPS
stub-outs to connect to. I used 3/4 inch braided stainless
hoses like they use to connect hot water heaters cost $15
each. So far every thing seems to function normally. Sears
water softeners and the several look-a-likes are CRAP!

To whom It May Concern:
I purchased a Triple O TWTS 101 Ozone system from you last
year. Our water had so much iron and sulfa that we could not
drink it. Our dishwasher, washing machine, sinks and toilets
were red with iron stains. Showering in this stuff left us
smelling like rotten eggs.
I purchased a 2500 Gal. surface storage tank and pumped the
well water into it through the mixing valve of the installed
Triple O Ozone System, and filled the tank with water so cloudy
the bottom was not visible. After two hours the water was
clear. I filled a glass with water through the man hole in
the top of the tank after about three hours. The taste was
increasable. It was sweet and had a clean bouquet.
We had been using bottled water, at no little expense, but
our "new found water" taste better. Our appliances, sinks
and toilets are absent of the previous rust stains. The copper
pipes are self cleaning as evidenced by the faucet aerators
that require occasional cleaning to remove loose deposits
. Our white (yellowish) towels are now bright white again.
We now linger in shower instead of rushing out. The system
performed as you said it would.
Thank you for improving our quality of life, and
thank you for being a true professional..

Hi Craig,
I have A LOT of iron in my water. I contacted you after
talking with five other water conditioner dealers. One dealer
who came in at the top of the list on internet searches quoted
me $2200.00 for equipment that would not have worked because
of the flow requirements.
I talked to you, and I liked your knowledge and prices.
I have to say, your honesty is what sold me on you. You were
a straight shooter. I installed my pH neutralizer two days
ago. I was skeptical that it would take out as much iron as
I have (16ppm) in my water. YOU THE MAN! My water is clear,
and my softener is actually softening the water again.My wife
and I have noticed a difference in our skin. It is not as
dry like it was. It is soft, and the iron smell in the water
is gone.
Thank you for your expertise and honesty. It is appreciated
these days when it seems like everyone is trying to rip you
off. I have recommended you to a co-worker, and I will continue
to recommend you. You should be proud of yourself for the
great customer service and advice you provide, along with
the fact that you aren't trying to sell thousands of dollars
in unnecessary equipment to working people who just want healthy,
clean water.
Thank You,
Dave & Mary Bogusky
Saylorsburg, PA.
To Whom This May Concern,
I have ordered water treatment equipment from other companies
and so far none have come as close to the professionalism
as yours.
I purchased a water conditioner and the system came with
everything needed for a proper installation. Your website
made it clear on what I was getting. The order was shipped
the next day and the price is competitive. I will further
my purchases with this company and also recommend it to others.
Thank You,
Jim Jensen
Hi QWT, I wanted to thank-you for your excellent website
and professionalism.
I purchased a water softener and charcoal filter for my house.
The local water guy wanted about $3,000 for a comparable system.
I was able to purchase your system and have a plumber friend
install it. (did I mentioned you saved me a boat load of cash?)
We are very happy with the products, and quality of service.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Geoff Grow
Dear Q.W.T.,
Years ago I bought a 24000 grain dual tank fleck valve
9000 series softener
from you. It was in the days when a customer still had
to solder the
connecting pipes. I have since referred Joe Schaefer to
you. Joe bought a
softener and a sulphur removal system from you. I also
sent David
MacFadden to you. David bought a 9000 series softener from
you. From
helping them, I see now that there is no more customer
soldering required.
Nice!
I just now sang your praises to Bob Yagley. Bob will be
contacting you to buy a 24000 grain 9000 series softener.
Lou Pasquale has been asking me, too. I suspect that he
will contact you, too.
I have really appreciated the quality of your softener
system. I had gone through three Sears cheap plastic systems
over the last 20 years and the latest one from them cost
me more than the commercial-grade system that I bought
from you.
Your free-shipping pricing and the included diverter valve
are very nice customer benefits.
Your system just keeps working flawlessly and I will keep
sending people your way whenever I can do so.

Craig,
Thanks again!!! Installation of system took all afternoon
on 12/31/05. Had to replumb system to rearrange and make
space in a very crowded storage room. System installation
was very easy and as advertised. Only problem was water
runback afflicting soldering; had to use plug on wire inside
tubing on 2 joints, then pull plug out with wire. (Heaven
help me if it hadn't pulled out!)
I have already begun recommending your system to friends
- will see if any buy. Some are intimidated by the idea
and will continue to suffer as we have for last ten years.
A simple installation could surely be completed in two hours
or less.
Momma & I are soo pleased with the results so far, and
look forward to even more joy once the water heater gets
purged.
AND, I don't expect to have to replace the bottom element
in the water heater and clean out a gallon or so of scale
- that takes longer than the time it takes to install the
softener.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year,
Charles Story
Hi Craig,
I am sorry I didnt do this sooner but I wanted to send you
a testimonial and
I am finally getting to it.
I wanted to let you know that I was and still am very happy
with the water
softener I purchased from you back in October 2005 (64K grain
water softener with
Fleck 2510SE valve, C100 Fine mesh resin and KDF 85 Mediaguard).
I see that
as the biggest benefit (and the price too....). With your
help and support
through the selection, ordering and post installation questions
I have a
softener that is working great. And best of all I did it
myself and know a
lot about the system (it seems like most water softener users
don't seem to
know much about them). Well.... if not for being able to
contact you and get
prompt suggestions and fixes it might not have been such
a smooth process.
We have well water and had rust staining. Now the water is
clean as ever and
very soft. I have had it for about 21/2 months now and not
a single streak
!!!!! Also the water is definitely soft. Even though a local
distributor
tested our previously softened water and said it had zero
hardness there was
some white staining in our steamer appliance which is totally
gone now.
Thank you for your advice and help
Reedy
I live in an area with a lot of calcium in the water. According
to the tests, it was around 25 grains. The magnetic system
I bought from ( we left the companies name out to avoid any
legal problems ) did not work for me. The instructions tell
you that you have to use it for a few months so that it can
have a chance to pull the scale and deposits out of the pipes,
and that you may actually see an increase in the amount of
junk in your faucet screens. We did seem to see more stuff
in the screens for awhile, but the amount of hard water scale
on the shower and sinks did not change.
After about a year I called to ask questions and they ended
up sending me a new unit. Same "break-in" period
and same results.
I have since installed a 48K grain/Fleck 5600 metered system
from www.qualitywatertreatment.com and really like it. It
was $530, delivered to my door. I spent an additional $40
for plumbing supplies and a 3 month supply of salt and my
wife loves it.
I will gladly sell you a "slightly used" magnetic
water softener system at a greatly reduced price!
CWest
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with our 5600SE
(32,000) water softener. Finally, no more water stains on
our dishes. We have only had our water softener in service
for one week and can already tell a big difference. I now
can look ahead into installing new faucets, sinks, commodes,
and valves since I do not have to be concerned with permanent
hard water stains.
I also want to thank you for prompt delivery of our system.
It was here in less than five working days, I could not
believe it.
I am giving thought into installing water softeners in
our rent houses as they are on water well systems (like
ours) in the same area. I will contact you when we get
to that point. I feel our renters would be much happier
with a system as they will not have to worry about stains
on their dishes, clothes, etc.
Thanks again and I will contact you when we are ready to
proceed with buying units for our rent homes.
Sincerely
Steve Laube
Just had to write and let you all know how happy we have
been with our purchase of an AUTOTROL 255 WITH 460I DIGITAL
METER.
I think it has been 2 years (maybe 3) this past March,
when I purchased our water softener from you. I had been
using a VERY popular local company’s manual rental.
We regenerated 2 or 3 times per week. We were using about
5 sacks of salt per month. Due to our inexperience we didn’t
know any better. So we were paying the monthly rental of
about $18.60, plus the cost of 3 to 5 bags of salt per month.
I spent about 4 months trying to figure out what to do, rent
or buy. I finally decided to purchase your system. It cost
me $504 total, including shipping. I installed everything
and had one problem, the tube in the salt container was not
filling as the instructions suggested. I got on the phone
and the technical expertise of your company was OUTSTANDING.
The man immediately said I had a leak and told me where to
troubleshoot. I immediately found the problem was with a
connection in the tube. I tightened it properly and I have
not had a single problem with this softener unit. Now for
some more good news. I was spending a minimum of $30 per
month (rental and salt) on the rented softener. With the
Autotrol, 3 sacks of salt last several months. I haven’t
actually timed the rate of usage, but I went from 3 to 5
bags per month to less than 1 bag per month. I have more
than paid for the purchase price of this softener in 2+ years.
And to think I rented that popular brand for about 13 years.
One is NEVER to old to learn. I’m 64 years old and
like your unit and your technical support. Both were VERY
good.
Thanks again,
Bob Shoaf

Hi Craig,
You guys are awesome!
Very easy to install my softener system, and No leaks!
Working with nice soft water feel!
I will keep you in mind for any future project.

Ron Bushka
I purchased a softener and KDF 85 filter from you last
week 6/7/05. I installed it Saturday. (I also attached a
sediment pre filter before the softener) Thank you for
your help and quick response to my questions. The
results have been incredible. The worst critics of our
well water have switched, on their own, from their
beloved bottled water to our tap water. I, too, can't
believe the difference.
Thanks again,
Jim Sager
Thank you !
I received my order today and everything looks great.
Your web site is informative enough so I don't think I will
have any trouble
installing my new water softener.
Your pricing is very aggressive and product quality looks
superior.
Best regards,
Tim Kopetski
I just wanted to say thank you for your time, expertise
and patience, even
with all of my usually ridiculous questions. The softener
(Fleck 2510SE) is
now installed, and was a breeze, thanks to your excellent
instructions and 1
or 2, OK 3 phone calls to you. You were always receptive
to my questions
and answered quickly and courteously (even when I had the
answer right in
front of me) ! I will definitely be referring you to my friends
and
colleagues.
Sincerely,
Andy Moore

Hi Craig,
Just wanted to let you know the softener is working just fine. I'm
pleased with the product and your help. I have told several people about
your good service.
Thanks,
Chris Dorsch Sr
Dear Quality Water Treatment,
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your
water softening equipment, your service, expertise, and your
willingness to help.
I was referred by a friend, who had researched water softener
equipment options, and therefore ordered from you, and he
was quite pleased. That is when your patience in answering
my questions started. After you finished answering my questions,
you helped me decide which unit I needed.
We selected the AT 32M, 32,000 grain/tank, dual tank, Fleck
9000 Valve, 1" bypass, Blue, with 2 turbulators. I recommend
to anyone purchasing softening equipment to consider this
dual tank option. I believe the features, benefits, and efficiency
are well worth the extra cost.
Additionally, I would like to show you my installation,
in the attached photo, and how I did something a little different.
I used flexible hoses (nylon braided with 3/4 pipe thread
on both ends), to isolate the softener from the rigid copper
piping. This has helped immensely with quieting the noise
of regeneration. It also makes the installation easier, and
the stress on the conditioner head is greatly reduced. Obviously,
I fastened the unit securely to the wall, since the hoses
are flexible. Service will be easier, since the hoses serve
the function of a pipe union, although I anticipate no service
issues for many years due to the high quality components
of this system.
Once again, thanks for the exceptional value, in a time
when most companies offer the least amount of product and
services at the highest price, you are the opposite, and
I really appreciate it.

Hi. My name is Lynn bennett. I ordered and recieved a 48,000
grain softener with the 2510 econdominder head/with KDF
85 mediaguard. I installed this unit yesterday and everything
went fantastic. Your installation instructions were right
on the mark and ran into zero problems. The service, information
and price from your company was top notch.
Thank you.

Craig, attached are two pictures of my water softener installation.
I completely re-plumbed the entire system using 1" pipe
to the house as you and I discussed prior to the sale. The
64,000 grain softener with the Fleck 2510 flows enough volume
at a very acceptable pressure to run every shower and water
using appliance in the house simultaneously. We received
everything 4 days after ordering. A local company wanted
$ 1,300 + tax for a 45,000 grain unit, so the 64, 000 grain
unit you sold me was a bargain at $710. This was a great
choice for our home, I am very pleased with your counsel
and service.
Thanks,
Mike Cheney
Here's a picture of my system installed. I finally got it
installed this
past weekend, and it works great! I've still got a little
work to do, but
it works.
I can't believe the difference in the way the water feels.
The iron is all
but gone from the water. (I drained and flushed the hot water
tank after
starting up the softener. There's still a little iron in
the lines, but
it's getting better every time I run water.)
Craig,
I want you to know we're thrilled with our new rust filter,
terminator, and water softener system. I've attached a "before
treatment and after treatment" photo of our well water.
My wife couldn't tell any difference in taste between the
treated water and bottled water!
My contractor told me a friend of his, who also lives in
my area, spent about four times as much as I paid for the
system you sold me. This friend claims it's improbable I
could have such nice water for so little money.
Thank you for the countless phone calls with thousand of
questions. Your customer service can't be topped.
Kind regards,
David
Hi Craig,
I just wanted to thank you for your advise and
patience with me as I was investigating replacing my
water softener. I installed both units recently using
the install guide on your website. It actually went in
very easy. My wife noticed the difference in the water
already. I learned a lot from you and saved a bunch of
money. I was quoted a price of $1700 just for the
softener from a local water company. I have already
bragged about you and will gladly recommend you.
Thanks Again,
Bill White
I recently bought and installed the 5600 econominder unit
from you and I am very pleased. I saved $800 over purchasing
the same unit locally and with my son's help we had it installed
quite easily.
Thank you,
Glen Smeltzer
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'm one of those people
who values
"customer service" above everything else and you've
just proven to me
that you are a company worth dealing with. I will remember
that for our
future needs and those of our friends and family. Thank you
again.
Kelly Bailey
I appreciate your help on this thing Craig. I have told
a couple of my
neighbors how I saved $$$ by buying through you and how you
continued to
answer questions until I got everything installed properly.
Thanks
again. Best of luck.
Mike Taylor
Thanx for being there once again. It s a real treat to be
able to drink water you know is pure and safe, and not pay
through the nose for delivery.
John Cox

Wow,
Thank you for the prompt reaction to this issue.
A new unit was beyond what I was expecting, but I am more
than satisfied with the solution.
I'm recommending your company to anybody who is interested
in water treatment equipment.
Thanks again Craig,
Steve Monette
The system works great. We noticed an immediate difference
in our water quality. I spent the last couple of weeks building
the pump house complete with slab floor. The entire previous
Sears Kenmore water system was housed in a small closet

I want to thank you for making
my water better than I ever imagined it could be. Thank you
for promptly answering my questions with patients while I
learned about soft water systems and installation procedures.
I am sure you can tell from my photo that my system was installed
by me but hey it is leak free and working perfectly. I could
not have done it with out your informative web sight and
your willingness to service after the sale. My wife and family
are ecstatic about our soft water.
Thanks again,
Terry McMaster
It has been over a months since I had the softener installed
and
everything is working really well. With my current setting
it will
regenerate about every 12 days. On GE unit that was replaced,
it needs
to regenerate every 5-6 days. Not only that, the water I
get on the
12th day on the fleck unit is even softer than the water
I got on the
first day after regeneration from the GE unit.
I have a friend in Canada also interested in getting a softener
installed. Do you ship softeners to Toronto?
Daniel
Thank you. I'm a happy customer. I found a plumber and he
just finished the install and it only cost me $100.00.
Your the best!!!!

Dear Craig,
After much research and review with both internet and local companies I chose
Quality Water Treatment above all the rest because of :
1. Years of Experience in this business
2. Quality Products offered
3. testimonials & personal call to you
4. Money saved over competitors offers
I was not disappointed! The product was shipped immediately
and received within five days as promised.
I saved more than anticipated so I hired a plumber to install
it ( I hate water problems) and we are back in operation
with soft water.
I had a couple of concerns to test your "after the
sale" customer service and you have past the test
with immediate response by replacing the defective part.
Thanks again for offering such high quality products & service
at affordable pricing. I'm adding you to my "highly
recommend" list.
Satisfied in AZ.

Craig,
Just a quick note to thank you for your time and help in
sizing the water softener for our home.
As I mentioned, we are a family of 8 and our water softener
failed last summer. I had been looking around for a replacement
and kept putting off the decision as the water softeners
offered at local retail outlets just did not cut it in capacity
for our family. Additionally, I was not impressed with the
construction or reliability of their units. Finding your
website was the first step in solving our problem.
I also want to specifically thank you for your time in helping
me understand the technical aspects of the application. Your
time and help sizing the unit was invaluable. At the time,
I feel I could have easily have been talked into 'getting
by' with a smaller unit offered by the local retailers. Your
assistance helped me select the unit (64,000 grain) I know
will meet the needs of the household for the foreseeable
future.
The ordering was painless, the delivery was stellar. I really
expected some delays or "excuses" for a delayed
delivery, but none ever happened. You have raised the bar
in the web-sales arena!
The installation went smoothly and the unit is operating
flawlessly. The SS bypass valve is impressive to say the
least. I have to agree with you that the basic 5600 valve
will handle the job reliably.
So there you have it. I kinda went to town with some of
the plumbing around the water softener (see attached pix).
But then again, I like having the operational flexibility
this offers.
I have forwarded your contact info to a couple other people,
coworkers and acquaintances who are looking to buy a water
softener. I am sure they will be in touch.
All the best,
Detlef
Thank you for your prompt delivery. Never thought I'd order
a water
softener over the web, but you make it easier than going
to the store !!
Was very impressed with your order/shipping process -ordered
one day,
arrived the next. After figuring out how to solder copper
pipes together,
the installation process was a snap thanks to your directions.
It was
actually quite informative and fascinating finally seeing
and understanding
how these things work and what's inside them.
I have an engineered septic system and they recommend not
draining the
softener into it. My sump-pump is at the opposite end of
the basement and I
was a little leery about running the drain line overhead
across the
basement, but the amount of force exerted from this unit
is surprising, and
everything works great.
Thank you for making my wife happy - no more daily toilet
scrubbing to
remove rust stains !!!
I have already recommended your company and web site to
3-4 individuals, and
will continue to do so.

Hi Quality Water, Just to let you know we received our softener
we installed it ourselves with no problems at all. Your website
is excellent and our next purchase will be a carbon filter
from you.
Thank-You
Brian and Brenda Creamer
I have had the 9000 model for about 3 weeks now – it
solved my water pressure problem and the water feels great.
Thank you for your help. A rep. Called me prior to shipment
of the unit just to make sure they understood my needs and
that the order would be correct.
Thanks again.
John Ryder
I received the 80k water softener yesterday morning and
installed it
last night. Everything seems to be working well so far. I
would
recommend QWT to those I know looking for an excellent price
and fast
delivery.
I probably looked at a dozen other prices on the same product
- both
local retail and web stores - and your offer was the most
competitive,
in one case beating a local price by several hundred dollars
for a
smaller system.

Craig, Everything arrived as promised on Friday.
Installed it on Saturday. Everything seems to be
working good. Just want to verify the hardness setting
of 46 is that correct? Let me know, I am very pleased
with the product the professionalism and the price!!!
My neighbors will both be ordering systems in the next
week or two.
Thanks,
Jim
Our order was placed late Friday 6/20/03 and today, Tuesday,
6/24/03 our water softener was delivered. That is really
fast service. It is in place and ready to connect as soon
as I get some pipe and elbows. Again, thanks for the fast
service!!

Craig,
I did receive our new water softener and installed it last
week without any trouble.
The unit you recommended seems to be the right size for our family of seven.
You were correct that the 75 gallons estimate is a bit high as we seem to be
running about 60 gallons per person per day.
Thank you for your solid advice, quality product, quick
delivery and great prices. I now can't understand why people
will pay 2 to 3 times more for a less capable system. I will
recommend your company to anyone I know that needs new water
treatment equipment.
Thanks,

Your response and cure for my water problem was superior.
Your delivery time and response to installation questions
were also superior. My rating would be 5+ stars.

Dear Sirs,
Just wanted to drop you a line about the AT48M water softener my daughter purchased
from you. We look around and got estimates and more confusion than help.
You were very helpful in the final decision and the softener was delivered
to my daughters door and it works great. I am a retired pipefitter and by
installing it for my daughter she saved over $1000.00. I ran into a leaky
O-Ring and you were very helpful in helping me solve the problem. Our experience
with your company has been great keep up the good work.

Many thanks to Craig not only for his expertise but mostly
for his honesty and patience. It has been said that knowledge
is power but sometimes that's not always a blessing. I did
a lot of research over the internet and Craig's prices and
knowledge were simply the best. He fielded numerous questions
and phone calls from me and I was always impressed with his
professionalism, courtesy and genuine concern for the customer.
In these days, companies are very quick to make a sale and
put profit before the consumer. Fortunately this does NOT
refer to Craig. He listened to my numerous questions and
evaluated my needs and concerns. I felt very comfortable
that I made the right decision to buy from him. I even told
a local automobile detailing company to call him about their
needs. My hat is off to Craig and his company. I shall be
a customer for life and I promise to cut down on the phone
calls. By the way, I purchased the 2510 SE with a 48,000
grain tank and the Flowmatic RO system.
Thanks again for
everything Craig.

I wanted to let you know that
we received the water softener on Jan 20, 2003. We installed
it Monday and Tuesday. It's been working great ever since.
I was a little leery about spending that much money over
the internet, but your company came through. I will be
recommending you to everyone I know.

I purchased a Fleck 56-2-32-M Water Softener a few months
ago. Installed and ready to go... I discovered resin in all
of my fixtures... I called your support line and reported
my problem... I was asked one simple question... "Do
you have the supply line hooked up correctly?" Well...
guess what? I did'nt! Rather than laughing at me or sounding
impatient, the gentleman I spoke to stated that he has also
done that more times than once. So I laughed it off and installed
it correctly. I have enjoyed the benefits of the soft water
from the system provided by your company. I will recommend
you to my friends.
Sincerely,
Kevin Louder
Hi Craig,
Product arrived and is now installed. The installation instructions
as well
as the start-up instruction we're easy to follow. All in
all, a very
pleasant experience that saved us about $1,000 over the cost
of getting this
replaced via our local water softener company.
Thanks.

Craig,
Hello! My name is Mark Anzalone. I bought a QWT-125 (40K
grain
with Fleck 5600 Metered Economizer control valve) 4 years
ago. Let me
start by saying that it is still working great. Thank you!
This past weekend I decided to clean out my brine tank. While I
had it empty, I decided to clean my resin bed as well. I did this by
dissolving 1 cup of "Iron Out" in a 1/2 gallon of water and adding
it to the empty brine well (as directed on the "Iron Out" label).
I then
manually cycled the softener to the "brine draw" stage
to draw the "Iron Out" solution into the resin bed.
After that, I refilled the brine well with salt and let the
unit regenerate itself. Upon finishing, I was
horrified to discover that my softener was not softening
my water
anymore!
To make a long story short, I had to run the softener through 3
more complete regeneration cycles before it started softening my water
once again.
My 2 questions to you are :
1. Do you recommend periodic resin bed cleaning with "Iron
Out?"
2. Did I ruin the resin bed in my softener? (i.e. Did I
severely
deplete the softening capabilities of my resin bed by "cleaning" it
with Iron Out?
Thank you, in advance, for taking the time to respond to
my
questions. I can tell by visiting your web site that your
business has
grown tremendously in the past 4 years since I bought my
softener. And
your prices have gone down significantly as well. Good for
you Craig!
I'm glad to see it.
To be honest, with your new lower prices, I kind of have my eye on
that "Fleck 9000 Twin Econominder" (AT 32M) softener that I really
wanted, but could not afford, 4 years ago. You may just see a repeat
order come in from me soon! Thanks for selling such great quality
products!
Best Regards,
Mark Anzalone

----------------RESPONSE FROM QUALITY WATER TREATMENT!--------------------------------------
HI MARK,
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU
I DON'T RECOMMEND USING IRON OUT BECAUSE IT IS A MILD ACID
BASE AND RESIN IS A PLASTIC BEAD ( ACID AND PLASTIC DON'T
MIX WELL).
WHEN YOU REGENERATED JUST WITH THE IRON OUT SOLUTION THE
RESIN BED COULD NOT BE CHARGED BECAUSE YOU HAD NO SALT IN
THE TANK, IF YOU ADDED THE SALT AND THEN REGENERATED WITH
OUT WAITING AT LEAST A FEW HOURS THEN YOU DID NOT GIVE THE
WATER A CHANCE TO DISSOLVE THE SALT TO GET A BRINE TO RECHARGE
THE RESIN, THIS MAY BE WHAT HAPPENED, AND ABOUT TIME YOU
WENT THRU THE 3RD REGEN YOU FINALLY HAD A GOOD BRINE SOLUTION
AND THAT IS WHY YOUR WATER IS SOFT NOW AND NOT BEFORE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENTS
SINCERELY,
Craig Phillips

Quality Water Treatment
Craig,
Simply wanted to thank you again for your great prices
and products. I received my water softener on Monday and
hope to get it installed this weekend. Looking forward
to enjoying soft water and will let you know how it goes.
I may also be looking towards purchasing an RO system for
our kitchen sink, and will definitely keep your web site
in mind as I shop around!

To Whom it May Concern
I just purchased a 32000 grain dual-tank fleck 9000 system
from you (order ID 420) via the internet. I installed the
system in a couple hours with your supplied instructions.
They were great! You made it really easy to install. Any
average 'Joe' can tackle a project with the supplied instructions.
Also, I compared your system to a neighbors dual tank purchased
locally. He paid $1400 for the same system except, he has
two separate 5600 Econominders. He wasn't happy to find out
what I paid.
Thanks for Everything
Rene Lavallee
I received the replacement parts today that were damaged
in shipment. I am extremely impressed with your quick response
to the problem. If anyone inquires about a water softener
I will definitely give your company a referral. Also for
your records, I did not mention that the damaged parts were
in a damaged box that had been repackaged in another box.
Our Water Softener arrived last night & I installed
it in an hour or so (I was replacing a unit that had shot
craps, so all my plumbing was ready to go).
It's working great - we saw a difference in the water today!
Thanks!
Craig,
Just wanted to let you know that the filter system is working
great. It has completely removed iron from my water supply.
My wife washed her white uniform today and it actually came
out the same way it went in....white! Imagine that!! I guess
I she'll keep me around after all !.
God bless!

Thank you so much. Your company has been a pleasure to do

Craig -
I ordered an acid reduction system from you back in April.2002
Just wanted to let you know that it has been working very
well.
I am running 10% corosex to calcite as you advised, and very
satisfied with
results.
Installation was no problem. This is huge improvement over
our 10+ year old
system, which was erratic and very difficult to maintain.
Thanks again for great product at great price, and the personal
attention
you gave me during the order.

My husband and I recently purchased a three stage U V light
system from you and we needed help installing it we didn't
know where to place it in line with our water softener and
then we developed a leak. Both times that I had questions
I was e-mailed a response, very promptly from your company
and you fixed my leaks with a few simple suggestions and
answered my question concerning where to place the UV Light.
I can't thank you enough, we are truly satisfied with the
system and our water quality is now excellent. Thanks again.

RE: Fleck 5600 Econominder 56-2-32-M
Craig,
I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the purchase
and service of our new water softener system.
We live in an older home and it was decided something needed
to be done with the plumbing. We hired a plumber (and long
time friend of the family) to replace all the pipes from
the city main up to and through the house including the fixtures
and faucets. When he was finished we discussed options for
protecting the new plumbing. This of course led to the decision
to install a water softener. Our plumber offered to get us
a Fleck system and install it for $700 plus the installation
costs.
Not knowing anything about water softeners (or plumbing
for that matter) I decided to shop around before making a
commitment. I spent a day searching the internet, reading
reports and reviews, and pricing systems from various companies.
By the way, for the size system we were looking for, most
of the prices started at $680 and went as high as $1500.
These prices did not include the extra parts needed for a
complete installation (such as the by-pass valve) or tax
and shipping. At this point I began to think our plumber
had offered us a pretty sweet deal. Then I happened across
your Quality Water Treatment website.
I "flipped" through the pages (as I did at the
other sites) and found the size and type of system we wanted,
with Fleck controls (since that's all our plumber talked
about) and - ...wait a minute! - ...that can't be right!!
$487 including shipping and all components included. But,
it was right, wasn't it.
I called the plumber to let him know what I found. Of course
he had a hard time believing it too, and began to warn me
about "shady deals from shady companies". He seemed
to be a little more comfortable once I told him the offer
was being made by Quality Water Treatment. It turns out he
is familiar with the company and your reputation and this
also made me feel comfortable. We both decided you definitely
had the sweeter deal.
The rest is pretty much history. I called you that night
and placed the order. We received the unit four days later
on a Tuesday. That Saturday I set the system up and a week
from the following Monday our plumber came out and installed
it. We don't use much water in our household, so it took
about six days to use up the water left in the hot water
tank. Since then, we have been enjoying the benefits of soft
water.
I want to mention something on behalf of our plumber for
anyone who may be concerned about the small amount of sodium
in the water during drainage. When he came out to do the
installation he brought with him a small metal garbage can
(about 8 or 10 gallons I'm guessing). He drilled holes in
the bottom, around the bottom edge and one hole in the lid.
After digging out the main water line to connect the system
he placed the can so it was a couple of inches below the
ground. Once in place, he filled it with lava rock, fed the
drain hose through the hole in the lid and put the lid in
place so a short section of the hose coiled on top of the
rock. Only time will tell how effective this will be, but
I thought it was a pretty smart idea.
There's something else I'd like to thank you for. In this
day and age, with everyone having so much to do and never
enough time, I always feel I'm being rushed in and out of
stores I shop at. When I try to ask the salesperson questions,
I seem to get only vague answers and "...just sign here,
please". You never made me feel that way. You always
returned my phone calls or e-mail. I even remember you taking
the time over the phone to calculate the gallon capacity
of our system and then telling me in detail how to check
that the program dials were set correctly on our controls.
This kind of treatment is not only reassuring but very much
appreciated.
Thnx always!

Craig,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how satisfied
I am with
my new Twin 9000 Water Softener. I did a fair amount of research
before
I placed my order over the internet. What I found was that
the Fleck
control is the gold standard for softener valves and your
price and
delivery was the best anywhere. The unit arrived within a
week after I
placed the order and you promptly answered my follow up email
questions.
Loading the mineral into the tanks was easy, thanks to the
special
funnel that shipped with the unit. Anybody with basic copper
plumbing
skills will have no trouble installing one of these.
I priced identical systems from 2 local dealers and they
wanted $2,500!
I paid less than 1/3 of that by ordering it through you.
The attached
picture shows my finished installation and I'm smiling because
I now
have an uninterrupted supply of soft water.
Thanks!
Chuck Briggs
Clarkston, MI
Craig,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll use your information to
get the water softener set up. I hope to have it installed
in a few days.
Thanks Again,
Jim Dike
I installed this weekend and all my water problems
seem to be resolved! In fact, it's wonderful water - thank
you so much
for all your help. This saved me $1200 over the local contractor
- and
that's not counting what he would have charged to put in
the carbon
filter!
Thanks
Andy Jewell
Craig,
I just wanted to write a note to let you know how pleased
I am with the Curv aeration and birm filter system. I
had a serious sulfur odor for years and now my water has
no odor at all. Even though I had a water softener I still
had very hard water. Now I only have to regenerate once
a week and I have no more staining at all. By the way,
I received quotes from local dealers for similar equipment
for close to $3000.00 Your system was less than $900.00.
Thanks for your great products and service.
Joe Crouch
Dear Craig,
I was recently searching for a twin-tank softener system
and narrowed my search down to your site (QualityWaterTreatment.com)
and another company on the internet that sell Fleck softeners
I was glad I had done my research and chose your system.
This other Company is a SCAM. They are advertising and selling
a 24,000 grain system as a 48,000 grain system. Instead of
calculating the size and the amount of resin for each tank
they are combining the two, which is a Scam. I am not an
expert, but from what little research I have done a twin-tank
system size is calculated by using each tank size and its
own resin amounts. Each tank is done separately, because
when one tank is providing service while the other is regenerating.
So, 48,000 twin-tank system should give 48,000 grains of
service per tank, not 24,000 per tank. I am glad you spent
the time talking to me on the phone and explaining how a
twin-tank system works I am not usually a business basher,
but it's not right for money hungry businesses to mislead
consumers.
John
-------------------------------------Note from Craig
---------------------------------------
The above letter
was emailed to us by a customer that not only did research
on this system but also had a conversation with the above
company, we left the name of the company mentioned out
of this email because we did not want any legal problems,
but well share information if asked. I also confirmed
this information via email to the company with a response
from them that confirms this information after I reviewed
there site information. I don't like bashing other companies,
but I thought it was important to post this because this
is not write nor industry standard on how to size a system.
They are also charging more for there system they advertise
as a 48,000 grain twin demand system that is actually
only 24,000 grains capacity per tank compared to our 48,000
grain system that is 48,000 grain capacity per tank.
Craig,
I have the whole system installed and we are very pleased
with the result. NO SMELL, NO STAINS, and very soft water.
Thank you for taking the time to explain how everything works
and your patience in helping me decide. Your recommendations
were right on as also your predictions of the result. I spoke
to at least five other water equipment dealers and you were
the most forthright in designing to my needs. You also saved
me a lot of money and I want you to know that I will recommend
you to any of my friends and neighbors who want straight
answers from a water guy.
Thanks again!

I recently purchased
a water softener from you and wanted to express my
complete satisfaction. I installed it with some help from
my son in about 3
hours. I saved $600 doing business with you rather than the
local water
treatment "experts". I especially appreciated the
advice and help I received
from Craig, a true professional. The local sales people here
are not
knowledgeable and only want your money. We have soft water
daily using about
50% less soap. No soap curd in clothes, no stained glassware
and toilets. The
system is beautiful. I will probably be buying a reverse
osmosis system from
you this year.
Thanks for the great service.
Dave
Just a quick note Craig, to let you know that the water
softener arrived in
perfect condition on Tuesday. We waited until Saturday for
the actual
installation (have to go to work to earn money after all!),
and all went
well! We now have nice soft conditioned water!
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Susan and Alan Gast
Craig,
First let me say, thank you for being very responsive to
my requests. You
have been very prompt in answering my questions and I appreciate
that very
much. Yes I should have been aware that the holiday would
affect your
business hours. Just a little excited the get the softener
installed. Thank you for humoring me.
Terry
Craig,
I received the water softener last Friday. I got it installed
and it is
working great. Thank you for the great service.
Regards,
Steve King
Craig:
I purchased a water softener and RO system from you February
2001 or so.
Since it has been almost a year, I wanted to check back to
order and replace
the filters on the RO unit. I would like to be placed on
a reminder list to
order the filters each year, and the RO filter every 4 or
5 years.
l am sure you remember me as the guy with the 1 1/2 inch
line that I reduced
down to 3/4 inch for the water softener. As you said the
plumber was wrong, my pressure is good thru the whole house.
All is working well, and I have
recommended your systems to several others.
Thanks.
Devon W. Block
Thank you for all your help, my water was so bad with iron
staining everywhere and it smelt terrible. I had over five
local companies come out and test my water. After they were
finished talking to me I was more confused than ever. Your
knowledge is well appreciated and the systems I bought from
you are working great, I installed them in about three hours.
You made me a believer that I can buy stuff off the internet
and still get great service.
Sincerely.
Mike Land
Dear Craig
We received our water softener last month and installed
it. The water is soft and all our fixtures are cleaner than
they have ever been. Thank you so much for the great advise
and service. We almost spent $1,200.00 for the same system
we got from you for just over $500.00 all together we saved
a lot of money and got great quality as well.
The Schusters
Hi Craig
We wanted to let you know that the Water Softener we purchased
from you in 1999 has been working great. Thanks again for
all the time you spent with us and the great service. We
want to buy another Water Softener for our daughters house
and need to know what size to get. Please email or call us
so we can order the right one.
Thanks!
John Boyd
I wanted to let you know that you saved us over $2000.00
on our water treatment system. Your professional attitude
and knowledge of water treatment blew all the local companies
away. I was hesitant on buying such equipment from a company
so far away and you have eased my mind of that. It has been
8 months now and our water is great, we tell all our friends
and neighbors about you.
Sincerely,
Carl Pagnini
Craig,
I have had your Triple O ozone system and water softener
at my house now for about four years. during that time I
have emailed or called you with different questions and I
thank you for your quick responses and help. I need a replacement
bulb for the Ozone system, can you email me and let me know
how to order one from you.
Thanks!
Bill Buchanan
My family and I are very happy with
the quality of our water – it’s perfectly soft
and odor-free. I saved $1200.00 over "*!?#soft"
and got an 80000 grain unit instead of the 48000 grain unit
that they wanted to sell me. I wish you and your business
well.
Kenneth Zaleski
Thank you very much! You were very
prompt and provided excellent feed back through out this transaction
regarding shipment and about the product itself. I received
delivery of this item today 2/9/07.
Thank you again for the excellent service and delivery.

Craig,
I want to thank you for you patience and applaud you on your
customer service. In a day when most company representatives
blow people off for asking questions, you take the time to
educate people. I agree it makes for better customers, but
it is very rare and should be commended.
Sincerely,
Briana Marshall
I recently purchased a 70SE-2-64m from you and am happy to
report that it arrived on time and in good condition. We have
it installed and the water quality is great!
Thanks for the great service,
Brian Johnson
I purchased a Fleck 2510SE 48,000 grain system from you on
Friday March 30, 2007 and it arrived on Wed. April 4, 2007.
I installed it on Friday April 6, 2007. It took about 4 hours
(my first install) with the extra parts that I wanted. I got
the idea for the extra shutoff valve and softwater hose bib
from a local softener dealer. He wanted $1500 more for the
same size system. Attached are 2 photos of the installed system.
Dennis R. Las Vegas, NV
Thank you so much for a perfect internet transaction. We
ordered the 70SE-2-64M late on Thursday and it arrived early
Monday morning. I called my husband at work and convinced
him to come home early to start the installation.
Our old demand softener was 21 years old and it cost us over
$300 in repairs a year ago. When it bit the dust again, we
decided not to flush any more money down the drain and go
for a new one. When I called the local company to inquire
about a new one, they told me it would be about $3-4,000 dollars.
No way! So we started the internet search with much concern.
We were so relieved to find a bigger, better softener than
at the local stores for far less money.
Our water is better than it’s been in a long time and
we’re thrilled with the cost. I would recommend your
company any day of the week.
Thanks again,
Debbie Bumbalough
