The Water Man installed a water softener for me over two years ago. Due to my home's plumbing…read moresetup, their technicians decided to install the unit outside, fully exposed to the elements. They never warned me about the risks, recommended sheltering, or provided protective solutions. If you're reading this, take it as a huge red flag: No reputable water softener company should allow an outdoor installation in San Antonio, where extreme heat in the summer and hard freezes in the winter can destroy equipment. I didn't know better at the time, and now I'm out over $3,000. The softener has failed twice, my plumbing is completely blocked by sediment, and my foundation is shifting due to thousands of gallons of water leaking into the crawlspace on two separate occasions. The First Failure It was inevitable the system would malfunction due to weather exposure. When I reached out, The Water Man refused to take full responsibility, claiming weather damage wasn't covered under warranty. However, their technicians never told me that weather exposure would void the warranty. After some back-and-forth, they replaced the parts under warranty. They claimed the system was functioning properly, but over time, the water pressure dropped, leading to a second failure. The Second Failure Wanting to prevent further issues, I followed Ty's instructions to shelter the unit. However, Ty admitted The Water Man had no sheltering solutions. So, I hired a certified water softener company to build a proper shelter. Due to the shelter's size, the unit was moved a couple meters. After the move, the system failed again. This time, when I contacted The Water Man, Ty refused to investigate, claiming that since another company had made the "alterations" for the shelter, they were no longer responsible. Summary of Failures: 1 They installed the system outside without warning me of the risks. 2 When it failed due to weather, they blamed me for not sheltering it, even though they never told me it needed shelter. 3 When I followed Ty's instructions to shelter the system, he admitted The Water Man had no solutions to offer. 4 When I hired a third-party company to build a shelter and the system failed again, they claimed the warranty was voided due to third-party work. The Water Man's Own Warranty Proves My Point Their warranty clearly states: "Any equipment installed outdoors must be protected from extreme sun/heat, freezing temperatures, fire, lightning, flooding, or wind." But when their technicians installed my unit, they: Never required sheltering Never warned me that weather exposure would void the warranty Never provided any protection solutions When the system failed for a second time, they cited another clause: "Any work performed on Water Treatment Equipment not performed by The Water Man may void any warranties." But Ty instructed me to shelter the system and admitted they couldn't do it. The Result: My plumbing is now completely blocked by sediment, leaving me with no water access and facing thousands of dollars in plumbing repairs. The faulty system also leaked thousands of gallons of water into the crawlspace, causing my pier and beam foundation to settle. This company will likely respond by claiming I was "warned" about third-party work. The reality is: I had to coordinate repairs with sheltering installation, as the warranty required it to be sheltered immediately. They were aware I was using a third-party vendor and said nothing about the warranty being voided until the system failed again. Avoid at all costs.

Moved into our house 6 years ago with a very nice Pentair/GE water softener…read more Couple months ago, had a plumber from Goettl (also terrible) come out to check a leak and lied to me about a lot of things but did recommend I get my carbon tank changed...fair enough. Found San Antonio Water Solutions because they are an authorized dealer of the system we have and they came out to change the tank. However, after that, the softener started leaking with every charge. So I called them back and they sent out a tech to look at it. Told me there was a crack in the system and that the whole swoftener needed replacement. Ugh. And also charged me another service call fee...thanks. 1- When they came out to replace the tank, he did not have the correct parts. So the system sat in my garage for like 3 weeks before they figured the parts out and came back 2 - They arrived to change the tank and told me I needed to change my Pressure regulator valve...which i had already done the week before! So my father in law adjusted it and apparently that made it better. So after they installed the new one, guess what? LEAKED AGAIN. 3 - So they sent out their "service manager" to look at it and told me there was likely a clog in the drainage system, leading to pressure buildup and I needed to call a plumber. (Which he should have known wasn't the problem since the rest of the house was draining just fine.) 4 - Called plumber, he cut the pipe and scoped it, to find out there was no clog but the drain pipe was installed weird and there was a little standing water in it but that was due to the way it was installed and not a clog. Conclusion: Upon further inspection by us, the homeowners, it appears that the only problem was a crack in the drainage tube. We have since changed it and no leaks. I attribute it getting cracked to when they initially changed the carbon tank. I'm now into this a couple thousand dollars when I should only be into it a couple hundred. Take-home points: This company is a clown show. They are absolutely awful at diagnosing issues. Their "service manager" needs to look himself in the mirror and question whether he needs to hire someone who can actually manage service. When the homeowner is the one actually solving the issues, then that should tell you something about the kind of job a company does. Won't call them ever again. Happy to have them out of my life

Great customer service all throughout from speaking with Ms. Myra over the phone to set up an appointment consultation with Mr. Alex and the installation of "The Works Package" with Mr. Anthony and Mr. Jose! Unbeatable prices and savings! They are honest and straightforward with how this works. This is our first time getting a water softener. Alex was able to explain how the system works and was also able to answer all of my questions and concerns. Being the son of the owner, he is humble and also a hard worker. He makes us feel that we are in good hands and takes our anxiety away by assuring us not only by words but also by action that they will be there when there is a problem with the system. Anthony was also able to answer my questions during installation. He is a very knowledgeable technician. I spoke with Cristina and she was able to set up an appointment within this week when there was a problem with the drinking faucet (loose screw that I tried to fix myself, but i couldn't). Anthony and Jose had modified a screw/washer that could fit in the sink space, and it worked. They were in and out quick and also was able to test the water again and everything was good to go!
