This company was good with getting us set up with a water softener for our home. Got us scheduled,…read morecame out and got things installed, the unit has worked fine ever since. The problem seems to arise when you have an issue and need them to be responsive! We are renting the unit - this is an intentional choice and comes from prior experience - we know our water is very hard and needs attending to. We chose to rent knowing that if we had problems with the unit a timely service call was only a phone call away... WRONG! I contacted this company for a service call - the first one we have needed so far - the lady on the phone assured me that they want to get to me as soon as possible! I called on Thursday and she said she wanted to try to get them out before the weekend so we didn't go without water softening all weekend. She tells me they will get back to me that same day about an appt. They do call me later that day but cannot see me until Monday. She felt badly that I would need to wait the few days but that was the soonest they had. I felt like this was very reasonable and made the necessary changes for the Monday appt to work with our schedule! My husband came home from work early to accommodate this need to have a service call during his business hours. We waited the entire 2 hour window that they give for their calls and no one shows up. I called to find out that the service call was actually scheduled for A Monday... but that Monday was another 2 weeks out!!! They told me I had the appt all wrong. How did I do this when they were so concerned about me making it through ONE weekend without soft water - now I had to wait 2.5 WEEKS! I have had to make NUMEROUS phone calls about this situation - each time I am told I will get a call back to get things situated but that call never comes. I am the one who has to reach out. The person on the phone can never answer the questions, they have to contact a different department, for instance, scheduling or service - which in theory is fine, except that they do not call you back. I believe this company has decent products - their softener has been nice for us - however, when you need service they are extremely lacking! Whether that is in customer service in general or the ability to get to their units in a timely fashion to get it serviced, it's been frustrating and undependable! Our unit completely malfunctioned and was running for 24 hours straight, burning up our well pump. Meanwhile we are dealing with terrible ramifications of now untreated water as we wait for service. This extended wait time is costing us as the hard water is damaging our laundry, surfaces, plumbing, etc... Just beware: servicing does not appear to be their speciality and takes at least 2+ weeks to accommodate established customers.

I've had this company install a water system for me twice now (should've learned after the first…read moretime). House #1: The water wasn't terrible, but it had an odor and a slight yellow tint. They recommended the $5,000 Kinetico CP Series system, so I went with it. I was told it would last 5 years with minimal maintenance--just adding salt and changing a filter every few months. When they installed the system, they ignored my request to use the basement slider and instead brought the equipment down the stairs, leaving rubber marks from the cart tires all over the steps. About 18 months later, the water quality declined again. When I called them out, they said the tank's media bedding had gone bad and needed to be replaced--for another $1,200. They blamed the water quality, saying if it were better, the system would've lasted as promised. (they only charged me 1 service fee though even though they stopped out twice) House #2: I (regretfully) went with the same Kinetico CP Series, though I was told it was slightly different this time. Apparently, the previous salesperson had been fired for making false promises and selling customers unnecessary equipment--a red flag I wish I had known sooner. I will say the new sales rep seemed honest and helpful. The system has now been installed for exactly 3 months. The salt level is fine, and the filters are clean. Despite this, the system suddenly stopped working. The water here is very hard and yellow, and it stains everything--so I called immediately to avoid further damage. They told me they couldn't send a technician for at least 4 weeks. Four weeks to address a failed water system in a home with extremely hard water is unacceptable. The technician who called me told me to bypass the system they installed, hoping that might help with the yellow water and staining. I'm no expert in water systems, but I do know one thing--if bypassing the system was the solution, I wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on it in the first place. I bought the system to eliminate the yellowing, so how does turning it off make any sense?!? I strongly do not recommend this company. Poor product longevity and terrible support turnaround. Buyer beware.

We had to change companies to Gordon and our salesperson is a wonderful young man and upon meeting him we have not regretted the change to Portage from Battle Creek. He also picks up and delivers our bottled water often on the same day! We are now very thankful and will not divulge more but rather leave our review as it is after working with Besco for many many years, but we are in Vicksburg and could only get pickups and deliveries once every 4 weeks and it was extremely difficult to manage that being retired and having many appointments and work around their extremely limited availability to deliver and pickup our 6-12 bottles each time and the newest driver came quite early around 9:30 ish and we shutoff our phones for charging every night and wearing full face CPAP Masks and very hard of hearing, let's just say we are extremely spoiled by Gordon Water and our wonderful salesman who will come at anytime we say we will be needing more water soon and he is very flexible and asks me when? I let him decide but that translate to him saying, "How about today between 1 & 2:00?" (So rare for these times we are in) Thank you Gordon Water and Jamal!

The lady I spoke to had a tone from the get-go. It did get a little better when she realized I was ordering something. I was told someone would be here between 9-9:30 today. Today, at 10:37 I called to find out where they were. And again...the lady that answered had a tone from the second she said hello. I told her the guy didn't arrive as scheduled. I was told, "we haven't scheduled anyone in 20 plus years for a specific time". Okayyyyy, guess my son and I are both imagining things. Then she told me that they don't have us in the system at all. I told her that I have been paying them monthly for a water softener. She finally found me in the system, but at that point, I just decided we were not going to be doing any business with them. Not because she couldn't find us in the system, but 2 days in a row, I didn't appreciate the tone I received. It made me feel unappreciated as a customer. I asked to speak to the manager, Kathy. I told her the situation and told her that her reps are the reason she has lost this account. She said, "Let me know if I can do something to change your mind". She only said that because she had to, you could clearly tell she didn't really care and definitely didn't mean what she said. I do not appreciate getting treated like I'm a bother to them. When I called back to schedule the removal of the water softener, the lady that answered was friendly. Not sure if it was a different person or if boss lady said something about talking to customers a little nicer. Bottom line...it wasn't the mistakes that caused me to cancel, it was the way they spoke to me.
