    Status:
    Answered
    I am writing on behalf of my 70yr old mother.She purchased a product from this company. the product arrived broken. she contacted Mr. *************************** and he responded to her emails in a very threatening and disturbing way. I would expect much more class and respect from a company trying to do business with the general public.I believe that the actions of Mr. **************************** and The Water Machine company need to have serious repercussions for their actions and I demand that Mr. *************************** and The Water Machine company give an apology to my mother as well as refund her for the hassle that she has had to go through trying to do business with this company. As a former business owner myself, I am deeply disturbed that there are companies out there treating customers in this manner and being so disrespectful to a paying customer. --I have attached the email transcript between ****************************** (my mother), and Mr. *********************************** of payment with a dollar amount which does not include the cost of returning the broken item to The Water Company and Mr. ********************************** included is a photo taken by my mother of the item as it was being unpacked from the box that it was delivered in.I demand that the BBB look into the customer relations of The ******************** Company and into the actions taken by Mr. *************************** in his email with ***************************** as I find them to be disgusting and very disrespectful.Thank you to the Better Business Bureau for the service you provide to customers in situations such as this one. Thank you for your time.*************************** ****************************

    Where do I start, first this company has recently changed it s name from ****** to the water machine, due to the filters by ****** not doing what they claim. When searching for a water filter system I did tons of research and when I found that ****** had a law suit against them for claiming their filters filtered out lead, mercury, chlorine, fluoride just to mention a few, I was stooped in my tracks. So I to continued to search and came across The Water Machine Co. , little did I know that it was the same owner as ****** with the same phone and address. Not knowing until after the fact, I ordered one water machine system, put it together per instructions, priming the filters, washing the tanks with soap and water, throwing out the first 3 gallon tank of filtered water and made a new batch. Now I have a water distiller, so I put a glass of water of my water and a glass of water from new system and did a side by side test , my water was ******* clear, and their water was not, the test confirmed fluoride was still in the water which is one of the substances the company claimed it filtered out. So I contacted the owner *************************** via email because it was attached to the invoice after making the purchase and requested return process be started, and his response was so vulgar, basically threatening me and my family, he knew where I lived and would tell all my neighbors I was an idiot. So I filed a Police report with the Bay County ************** from there I was instructed to do a few things that I will not mention on here, due to the case is an open case. He said that I was * **** with a mans livelihood and that I should consider my next move very carefully. What kind of business does this for just wanting to return a purchase that with my experience did not do what the company claimed. I want to and feel compelled to warn others about making a purchase from either of these companies . So PLEASE be warned about this man and his fraudulent claims. Buy elsewhere

    This customer, *****************, is DELUSIONAL.  She thinks I am the same owner of ******. This is incorrect. 

    She was using a device that is not authorized to test water at home, and using ACID of all things, thinking it could remove straight ACID. The answer is no, it cannot. Who would want to purify straight ACID and drink it? 

    With over ****** happy customers, you cannot satisfy everyone, and every once in a while you come across a "*****" that simply does not have the intelligence to understand the obvious, and I did not have the crayons, or the patience to explain things to her. 

    How is that for a pure, honest feedback on a complaint? I work with all customers that use their brain and this one, *****************, has the ** of a soap dish.
