    I’ve been using Phelps for 5 years and they just SCREWED ME, THEY WILL SCREW YOU TOO! I bought a new pressure system LESS THAN 2 years ago!!!!!! The bladder started leaking and now I HAVE TO PAY A PRORATED COST OF $350 FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT! So after less than two years I have to pay them more than 25% of the original cost. They are making 25% on me for my product that has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years!!! I’ve used Phelps for tens of thousands of dollars of work. I’m never using them again! They scammed me and when I addressed it with them they hung up on me saying I had no reason to be pissed off. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Don’t use them, they will seriously screw you over and hang up on you if you don’t like it, they say, “so go somewhere else where you’d have to replace it at full cost if you don’t like it”, which is what they said and hung up on me. IM SEEING REVIEWS THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THEY HAVE DONE THIS TO. They did it to someone else 5/21/23, same situation, screwing them just like me! Thank you to the other reviewer for helping me use someone else, I will NEVER use Phelps again and will scream it from the rooftops around my community not to use them anymore.

    As we discussed on the phone (as you were cussing me out), there is a 1 full year warranty with the manufacturer and a 7 year pro rated warranty on that tank.  That tank was 2 years old.  A new tank is $1365 installed for that size.  The cost to replace under the pro rated warranty is $350.  All of this information was given to you when we installed the tank as well as when we spoke yesterday.  We carry over all of our manufacturers warranties to the customer.  This was beyond the one full year warranty.  You were hung up on after asking 3 times for you to stop screaming and cussing and I had explained that I would need to hang up if you continued to speak that way.  We never told you to go somewhere else.  You said that you would go somewhere else.  I'm sorry that you feel this way.
