Aquasana whole house system for wells…

My Aquasana whole house system for wells is less than 10 years old and when I called Aquasana to purchase additional o-rings needed to replace the water filters they informed me they no longer stock the o-rings for my system. How is it they have systems in the field less than 10 years old and do not stock consumable parts like o-rings. I was able to find replacements on Amazon. If I was able to find them online why isn't Aquasana stocking them for customers. Very disappointing!!!

like many others here

like many others here, I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased. this company makes you call them to manage your subscription, and doesn't email you before your subscription ships. this might seem fairly neutral but together these practices are anti-consumer and reflect back to me the values of this business. it's not safe to give this company your money, they will charge you for return shipping, they will not email you about your order you no longer wanted, you will just see the charge come through and even though you call them right away, they will make you pay return shipping in order to return. strongly recommend that you avoid this company.

Canadian customers - beware

They do not disclose this, but you are going to pay for BROKERAGE fees (UPS probably) and it's going to cost over a hundred dollars! They don't tell you this so you buy their machine. They also deliberately omit currency in their website so when you buy and see something costs "$115" for example, it's going to be a lot more because it's in USD but they do not clarify. Customer service is not helpful. It's a slimy company. I'm very disappointed and will be looking for a Canadian brand instead.

Not Customer Focused and it Leaks!

There are companies who put customers first. Aquasana is not one of them. My under sink RO system developed a leak, and I called customer assistance, who determined the o-rings needed replacing. So, they put in an order to send them (charging me for shipping, even as a "Water For Life" subscription member that is supposed to receive free replacement parts and shipping). One week later living with a leaking unit and nothing. I check and call to learn the o-rings are out of stock. GRRRR. Another phone call and I learn they don't know when they'll be in stock. So, I ask if I can get a sump unit as that is the next best solution. Long story short, it is on order, and yes, they are STILL charging me for shipping. (Order #100329287 in case you're here, Aquasana.)

Come on, guys, I have a career in customer service and this was a simple slam-dunk customer case where you could have ended up with a delighted customer vs. one who will never trust you again. You don't empower your agents to offer customer-focused solutions to save a couple of bucks here and there. Penny wise and pound foolish.

Thank you for reaching out to us, and we are sorry to hear that you're upset regarding the shipping fee for your warranty order. We completely understand how frustrating this situation must be, and we appreciate the opportunity to explain.

While we always strive to provide the best possible service to our customers, our shipping fee on warranty orders has been a part of our policy for quite some time. The policy states "Part(s) claimed to be defective or any expense
incurred to remedy any defect in the product. Such charges
may include, but are not necessarily limited to: All freight, shipping, handling and delivery costs of forwarding a new water filter or replacement part(s) to the owner." Unfortunately, we are unable to waive the fee, as it helps us cover the costs of handling and shipping the replacement item.

We value your business, and we are here to assist with any other questions or concerns you may have regarding your warranty. If there’s anything else we can do to help make this process smoother for you, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resolving this matter to your satisfaction.

If there was a zero star rating that's what I would choose absolutely horrible customer service no customer service made 10 phone calls no answers back emailed no answers to my emails horrible company you will get burned if you buy this product any of their product. This is the same way you reply to everyone once you get called out. Your company is a joke. You don't reply when your product fails, which is ALL THE TIME.

Do not buy from these scammers!

Do not buy from these scammers!
I bought the countertop filtration unit. Upon taking it out the box I noticed rattling in the sealed engine section, presumably from pieces that must have broken off in there. I contacted them to report that they had sent a defective unit and could they give me a return label to send it back and then send me a replacement unit. Their response was that I had to pay to ship it back. They refused to acknowledge that the unit is defective, taking zero responsibility and making me pay to send their dud back to them. You can’t make it up!

One star is too high

I don’t seem to be able to give ZERO STARS, shame. Two years ago they took my money for 2 x packs of filters but they never arrived. After TWO YEARS of fighting and discussion, they claimed to have lost all records of the purchase (don’t worry I HAVE NOT lost the records). They suggested that if I buy a whole new system, then they would graciously provide me with 1 x pack of filters and A SMALL GIFT? A SMALL GIFT???

So is this incompetence or is it fraud? I will let Mastercard figure that out. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. They are so bad that I will use this as a story while having a drink with my mates - but I am not paying them for THAT service.

Hi Matthew. Upon reviewing the emails, we are able to see the original order was made via Amazon. They are a 3rd party company that we are able to look for previous orders through there. As soon as the representative receives the proof of purchase requested, we are more than happy to provide more options. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

I don't recommend deal with this company.

I have membership in this company. They are constantly changing the prices for replacement filters as they want. And your membership turns more expensive than a regular purchase. Now I caught them again for charging wrong prices. Also, last time they did withdraw money but didn't send one of the items. This customer service is horrible. And no one even apologizes for these actions.

The company's water for life program is…

The company's water for life program is a joke. As soon as you try to get a replacement base unit they want you to show the unit through a video chat. My unit is 7 years if not older, it's made out of plastic and is now leaking. I told them you can't see the leak the unit is all wet and there's water everywhere. Their comments we can be on video for as long as it takes. I canceled my water for life and will be purchasing from another company. I would rather have to replace the unit myself every couple of years then believe that it will be covered because of some bogus program.

The companies reply makes no scene.My review is about their water for Life program whereas as long as I have an active membership broken items are supposed to be replaced free of charge. their response is referring to a one-year warranty.

They sent me the wrong filters

They sent me the wrong filters. They were supposed to be color identified and were not. Not sure what I have but I sent in a review to the company and they sent it back to me saying that it didn't meet their standards. I would have hoped they would have wanted to rectify the problem and give me the right filters. Guess not. i'll be cancelling and switching to a better product.

Hello Rick! Looking into your review we did send you a response informing you the filters that were purchased are the filters you received. We apologize for any confusion. On each bottom housing there is a colored dot on the right side of the wording "aquasana claryum." That should help you determine where each filter goes. The only filters we sell for the Claryum 3-stage MaxFlow are the ones you purchased. Black goes with Green, White goes with Red, and Yellow goes with Yellow. We hope this helps!

Bought a whole house water system

Bought a whole house water system. Two years in the post filter started leaking. No one carries an airing the size they use. I tried using Teflon tape to slow down the leak and when I turned the water back on the post filter housing exploded. They refused to do anything to help unless I signed up for their filters for life or pay $100 for a new post filter that I would have to contact them for parts support. Their customer support lacks any empathy and might as well have been talking to a computer. Wouldn’t ever use this system again.

ABSOLUTE SCAM

ABSOLUTE SCAM. We ordered a whole house well water salt free system based on AQUASANA recommendations. It was the WORST decision and I feel like we got sold a terrible BS filter system. I’m a licensed builder for nearly 25 years and deal with homeowners all the time and I can’t stress enough DO NOT USE Aquasana. The filters are cheap and do not do anything in regards to filtering well water, iron, minerals, and sediments. Sadly I also recommended this to my neighbor and he too is having issues. I’ve contacted Aquasana several times and ZERO help from them. I feel they are more of a scam than anything else. I’ve also have had several water companies out and they also said they REMOVE Aquasana filters since frequently because they fail within months. Coincidently after the 90 day warranty period. If you have any questions about this removed feel free to reach out to me personally.

Poor Product and Customer Service

I was so excited to receive the under sink system as a gift. However, I have had an extremely poor experience with the Aquasana customer support and multiple system failures. After multiple months of long hold times and trial and error fixes that worked for only a few days or weeks I requested a return/refund and was denied due to a 30 day return policy. I would not recommend the system or company to anyone. Look for a different water filtration system elsewhere, Aquasana is not for you.

I needed an o-ring quickly

I needed an o-ring replacement for my pre filter that was leaking I called on a Thursday and was told no charge for the part but had to pay for shipping I opted for 2 day because of the leak I called back on the following Wednesday to check on the status and saw the mailing label was just made and was awaiting USPS pickup Meanwhile I’m emptying buckets of water I was told they were a bit behind because of the July 4 holiday- that was 2 weeks ago!

I've come to understand that I am…

I've come to understand that I am unable to cancel my contract online. Consequently, I've made multiple attempts to reach out to Aquasana, enduring 30-minute holds each time. It's evident that Aquasana should consider augmenting their staff or refining their cancellation procedures. My time has been squandered on these fruitless calls. As of now, I have not been able to connect with a representative.

Added on July 17
This company's behavior is quite perplexing. Despite never answering my calls or emails, they promptly respond to my Trustpilot review. Now, they are requesting my address, phone number, and email here. How peculiar!

Please search your inbox and locate my contact details. I reside in San Diego, zip code 92122, and my phone number ends with 9005. I no longer require your services and wish to cancel my subscriptions immediately.

Aquasana Failing

I have been a customer for going on twenty years, what once was good is now bad. Have a 3 stage under sink filter system and the production quality for filters and replacement parts has declined in the past 2 years.
First problem was plastic fail flooded floor under sink.
Several years ago.
Filters have a large fail rate as of the last year or so.
Now they sent the wrong length filters. Gone through 3 first stage black filters that fail to send water through the system. Stay away from Aquasana.

Hi Jefferson.

We hope this message finds you well!
We wanted to take a moment to remind you of our company’s warranty policy and provide you with some important information to ensure a smooth experience with our products.
As part of the Water for Life program, your system comes with a one-year warranty that is extended as long as you remain on the program. However, please note that there is a specific exception regarding the filter housing components. According to our Owner’s Manual, we recommend replacing the filter housing every five years to prevent potential leaks due to product deterioration. After the five-year period, it becomes the customer’s responsibility to replace the filter housing.
Upon reviewing your account, we have confirmed that you have already spoken with one of our representatives, who has dispatched new filters and a new filter housing, and has explained the five-year sump replacement recommendation to you.
If you have any further questions or require additional assistance regarding our policy, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We are here to ensure that your experience with our products is as positive and hassle-free as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We truly appreciate your continued support as a valued customer!

No water flowed through, plastic, scam

No water flowed through. Uninstalled and called for a refund and they were going to make me pay for the return unless I reinstalled the whole thing. So much for a "no questions asked return". Would have been half the cost of the item to ship back the non-working item to them. Also, the parts are made of plastic including the water flow from the filter to the faucet. And yet supposedly filters microplastic? Scam.

Hello Julie! Thank you for your review. Upon looking into your account it looks like you were already processed a credit on 06/20 for your system and we did not ask for it to be returned. We use polypropylene plastics that are BPA free and do not leach plastic in the water. Hope this helps!

I wish I read these reviews before I bought a unit. Nowhere on their website does it say US Dollars? And I had to pay almost double between the exchange rate and duties and taxes, and they didn't seem to care. I'm worried now reading about all the problems, people have with their product.

Company has turned into a disaster!

This company has turned into a disaster! I've had Water for Life for >15 years. Last few years the water flow on new filters was poor. But we have now reached the point of unacceptable. I spent >1 hour waiting for a rep to "troubleshoot." She told me to take out the coin another rep said would fix it, and to call back if it didn't help. It didn't help. At all. I call back. Wait another hour. I finally try the call back option, only to have them disconnect the instant I pick up the phone. And then they close for the weekend. It takes 15 minutes to fill a tea kettle.
Edited to say: I searched the internet for answers, because I need water. Found you can put a straw in one canister and it works, at least temporarily. But the real question is How can they continue to run a business with a broken product and lousy customer service!?
