      My water system stopped working 4 weeks ago. The finance company is telling me that there is only one authorized dealer that can service my water system and hence the water company is not servicing my water system. I have been calling Water company to service my unit but they continue to tell me some will call me and no one does. I spoke with ******* a manager from the finance company and he won't return my calls. I spoke with ****** at the leaf water company and she keeps telling me that someone will call me but no one calls me. This is really an abuse of corporate power!! I have had no water for 4 weeks and I'm not getting any help from leaf water co.

      I don’t understand I had a $7500 system put in it failed not even two months into the installation then I continue to have problems after called the company to let them know. They never got back to me. I had too many problems with the system, not regenerating now my filters under the sink have clogged way before the year and now you’re saying that the better business bureau cannot help me with this issue. I told him if they can’t come and change my filters for free because of their issue with it not regenerating then I want my $7500 back and they can come and pick up their system why can no one at the Better Business Bureau understand and help me resolve this please let me know.

      Was told by salesperson the system we were purchasing would remove all the iron and smells from our water. We had an existing system and she advised it would outperform that system. After new system installed our water quality has gone down daily. After 2 weeks our water now has a yellow tint to it (iron) and sulfur smell. I contacted an independent water company to test and their results indicate the system is not working as we were promised and it needs a carbon filter added to it and it is only softening our water right now. We were also told there was customer satisfaction warranty by the salesperson and the corporate office states there is not. I believe not only did we get a far inferior product that we were contracted for but also the company practices are deceptive. We have requested that they remove the system immediately so we can get the proper system installed. We are unable to fully use the water until this is resolved.

      Water test from an independent company at the filter before going through the house showing the iron and sulfur are present. The original test they did with our old water system were lower than this and we did not have yellow water or sulfur smell before their system was in place.

       I am rejecting this response because: I would like at least a week to verify the system is working properly. The last system was giving us issues after a couple of days. The  response from management to resolve this matter was horrible. I will get a third party to do water samples as i do not trust this company to be honest with their samples. I still have not received the last set of samples they did on 4-1-25 and was assured by the technician they would send them to me.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/08/2025

       I am rejecting this response because: The water is still showing iron and smelling of metal and by their own test it is at .1  on the iron which is where it was at before their system was installed. We were told by the salesperson that their system would remove the rest of the iron and it has not. That was the whole reason we agreed to upgrade our old system. You can contact the salesperson to confirm. I have the original paperwork where she showed the iron was at.1 and if we purchased this new system it would take care of that. At this point we are not satisfied and do not believe this system will do what was promised. We gave them an opportunity to fix it and is still not right. I would like the system removed asap.

      We provided the samples requested, the levels are within or below ******* and EPA standards.  The system swap completed on 4/1/25.   At this time, a removal and refund is not warranted as the customer has not given the new system an opportunity to work. 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/09/2025

       I am rejecting this response because:


      I was told before the sale the system would take the rest of the iron out of our water. Not that it would bring it below some standard. I was also told by the salesperson if it didnt do what they said it would do i would not be obligated to purchase the system and had a 30 day window from time of installation. when we first started having problems and could not get any response text the salesperson and asked again about the satisfaction warranty and she sated if its not functioning after testing (which it wasn't) that was the window to get it taken care of. She has never responded after that conversation. This company obviously uses deceptive practices and the iron is still there. Our agreement was it would remove the rest of the iron, not that it would be below a guideline. your people lied and the water still smells of metal. I want the system removed asap.

      Company promises removal of old system, this has not occurred despite two calls (to sales rep and to CS rep.) Also ( and primary issue) is that the installation does not seem to be working: air in the water looks like skim milk, tastes poor and leaves lime stains in toilets. My first call to CS resulted in “They all do that.” Two subsequent calls resulted in promises to call back which were never fulfilled. The lack of service after the sale, and the poor performance of the equipment, indicates this company is a scam.

      I received an email about the system so I called salesman *** came says how great entire system was. Installer came on 2-20-25 I believe. I asked about the infrared light. He called his boss saying the boss forgot to put it in the truck & another was bringing it from Vegas. The system was installed + the installer said it would take about a week to clear the old water system. The water was immediately very very soapy & slimy on your body & the floor of the shower was very slippery. I waited till Monday the 24th to call the installer. I also told him about the reverse osmosis system wasn't drinkable & caused my humidifier to put a smoke line haze into the house. The installer left to Home Depot for something. He installed was supposed to call back which he didn't. I called again on the 25th & he said he would check on the 26th I called the 888 number. A young questioned if I had ever used a softening system saying she would talk me through. Resetting the system I refused & called another young female asking to talk to a supervisor. They wouldn't connect me to anyone I recalled the installer on the 27th & he had me reset the system in the garage but the kitchen system remained on March 6th I called again asking for a supervisor from the 888 number on the 7th someone named Neil said he was the installers supervisor & would have the installer come out on 3/10 or 11th check the system out. I have asked repeatedly to talk to someone in charge with no luck. The salesman doesn't call back. We never had water spots on the ice & cold water at the refer that we do now. The reverse osmosis tastes on both sides of the water.

      The biggest problem is have is the system isn't as good as was promised.  When I called to complain I was refused to talk with a supervisor  and no call backs were made.  Even the salesman didn't call back.  The service guy is supposed to come on Monday to adjust things but I question if he really will come.

      They advertised a free water test and free cost estimate. I was verbally told by the technician there was no purchase obligation. I decided not to purchase the $4000 water treatment device. They want a $1000 "Restocking Fee" (25%) There was no written "Restocking Fee" clause. The only thing I signed was for permission to do a credit check.

      We have signed an agreement with Leaf Home Solutions to install a water conditioning system with total price: $7000. We have paid $700 down payment. The installation took place on February 17th. The process was botched from the start due to the family issues technician was dealing with on the phone during installation process. He stopped working on it after a few hours and quit working due to family emergency. He came back when it was dark already around 9 pm and resumed the installation process working in total darkness. I saw him crawling in the dirt and looking for the part he dropped on the ground around the filters. Despite his earlier rude warning he gave us to stay far away from him while he is working, I made another attempt to help him and brought high power flashlight so he can see what he is doing and find the component he lost. He was done with the job around 10:30 PM. He still had this nasty attitude toward us, It was late, dark and bugs were relentless, so we decided to inspect the job early in morning, next day. It was apparent at this point that this worker is suffering from some psychological issues that make professional communication impossible. Therefore, he made impossible to stop the installation of components which emit carcinogenic chemistry in to our water system causing cancer of the liver, brain, lungs, and blood, hormonal disruption ( PVC can disrupt the endocrine system, which can lead to reproductive impairment and birth defects), damage the brain or its function, neurotoxicity, immune system suppression, respiratory irritation and much more. We have not given the installer permission to use any toxic material and therefore asked the management of Leaf Home Water Solution to replace carcinogenic pipes with copper pipes. It has been three weeks since this disaster started, and they did not make any attempt to address the issue and therefore comply with our demands of replacing carcinogenic components with copper made.

      The system installed does not cover everything the sales person said it would. I've been in contact since September of 2024 trying to get this system removed and a refund. Headquarters just keeps dragging their feet. The system was supposed to take care of the rust, hard water, clean the lines and provide sparkling clear water. The only thing it does is remove the lead/rust but that process puts air in the lines and it phisstts at you. It does not take care of the hard water issue at all. There are floaters of white junk in the water, everything the water comes into contact with is stained or clogged and now there is a bacteria in the water that is unhealthy and has turned my commode tank black inside and smells of mold. The bacteria also gives off a strong odor of sulfur that smells like poop. ***** is the manager in our local office and he's trying his hardest to get the situation resolved but headquarters is not cooperating. We've sent dozens of pictures and documentation to no avail. BTW, that salesman is no longer with the company. This system needs to be removed and refunded so I can get the proper treatment system in asap. This company doesn't seem to care about any of these issues promised by their sales person.

      A resolution has been offered and we are waiting for the customer's response. We have also advised the customer that they need to have their well shocked.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 03/24/2025

       I am rejecting this response because: Leaf's resolution is to pull out one of three cylinders already paid for (with no refund of original cost) and charge me $725 (their cost of the unit) to install a softening unit. I've already stated to them I was not willing to spend more money on a system that was misrepresented by the salesman and has caused so much angst.The salesman should have pointed out that the "conditioner" that was installed would not take care of the hard water problem. I feel we were taken advantage of by that salesman. If you need to use the commode while it's regenerating, there's horrible noises and the water line in the tank actually is forced out of the pipe that it fits into. The system also allowed a bacteria to get through from the well and now the commode tank is a black slimy mess that won't clean out. The system is also not cleaning the water lines as stated. The water hardness leaves white floaters of calcium in the glasses, leaves hard to remove stains on everything and even keeps the commode from shutting off. I'm just done with this mess.

      This system has also spewed out brown water, I'm concerned it may run my well dry too. What is it doing to my hot water tank and boiler system lines. The companies main concern is that it took so long to report these problems. I wish I had been able to get at it sooner. I had been diagnosed with cancer for the second time 5 months after the installation and spent the next year in test, procedures, operations and treatment. I did contact them when the foggy confusion of treatment abated. I simply do not understand why they can't pull this system out and refund me. It was terribly expensive to begin with and  now they want more money to try to make it work. I doubt it will resolve the other issues besides the hard water. I'm beside myself with anxiety and depression over this and just want it to be over with. I still have to pay to have the well chlorinated, the proper system  would not have allowed that bacteria through and there is no guarantee that their softener will prevent future contamination from entering the lines. This information  is from the local well company that knows the areas water and how to deal with it. Shame I didn't use them instead. There are many pictures available to see what this system has done to the commode, glasses, and sinks. Sometimes CLR and a brillo pad won't even clean off the crud. Most seniors with multiple medical malfunctions wouldn't be able to keep up with the extra scrubbing required.  I'm wondering if a relative of theirs would be treated this way.

      Customer Answer

      Leaf home water solutions called today to say this is the only offer they are willing to make and that the cost is reasonable. The also stated that I signed a contract that states I was ok with the the hard water situation. I've read that contract with a magnifying glass and nowhere does it say any such thing. Their sales rep never addressed the hard water. I guess it's ok for salespeople to lie and misrepresent a product. taking advantage of the elderly in their eyes. I really wish there was something someone could do to keep these things from happening.

      Business Response

      Date: 04/01/2025

      The discoloration that the customer is experiencing is due to bacteria in their well and is unrelated to the system installed by Leaf Home Water Solutions. The customer has been advised to shock their well to address the bacteria concerns.

      As stated in Section E of the customer’s signed contract, well conditions may change over time, and additional equipment may be required. While we have discussed potential solutions with the customer, they have chosen not to move forward with additional equipment at this time.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/01/2025

       I am rejecting this response because: Once again they have side stepped the real issue. I am not complaining about the discoloration from the bacteria in the well water. The main issue is the cost of a system that does not perform as the salesman  said it would. He did water tests and knew how bad the hardness was. Why didn't he address that with us? The other discoloration that is an issue is the stains on everything and clogs of spigots and spay nozzles that require tons of CLR and brillo pad scrubbing from the very hard water.  Every sink has hard water marks that are not easy to get off and it doesn't come off plastic fixtures at all. All my glass wear and metal go cups are ruined.And now they want me to spend $725 more for their conditioner.  That would involve removing one  of 3 cylinders with no refund on it. Then there's the 2nd cylinder that would be of no use to me as it takes out the rust which can be done with Morton Red Out salt, so that's 2 cylinders that are not needed. That rust removal cylinder puts air in the lines to remove the rust, I don't like the fact that air is hissing and thumping through the lines. This whole system is useless for this property.


      Business Response

      Date: 04/09/2025

      The discoloration that the customer is experiencing is a result of bacteria in their well and is unrelated to the system installed by LHWS. The customer has been instructed to shock their well to address the concerns with the bacteria. I’ve spoken with the customer, and they have continued to decline the addition of the softener system. Per section E of the customer’s signed contract, well conditions may change and additional equipment may be needed. We have offered the customer a softener at cost, and they have continued to deny this offer. 

      Customer Answer

      The latest offer is take out the right cylinder and installing a water softener @ $400. They're sure I still need the middle cylinder for lead/rust removal. That tells me they don't think their softener will do the job removing rust. As seen in the pictures I've sent, their softener will not fit in the space. I'll need to put in a shelf in the back to put the salt bags in to funnel it into a softener. I'll have to get someone to put it on the shelf for me as they are too heavy for me to lift. There just isn't room. I'm sorely aggravated with Leaf. They're still stuck on the discoloration. It looks like I'll have to eat $5123.00 to rid my self of this unacceptable system.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      They're still going on about the discoloration, as I've stated, it's not the main issue. It's a rediculous response as usual. Their latest offer is to remove only one cylinder and install their softener. There isn't room to install it.

      Since the installation of their water equipment in our garage it has flooded now 3 times. Each time there is an excuse. Second time the ******************** claimed they called us which was a lie. He promised we could file a claim with the company and no one contacted us. Today on March 7 the garage flooded again.
