Wishing to replace our salt based…

Wishing to replace our salt based softener, Simon was prompt, informative, and patient whilst I deliberate my options.
We opted for a OneFlow+ whole house filter. Although this has only been installed for a couple of weeks we have already noticed the small amount of residue build up we previously experienced in the kettle no longer exists. We also will have to recalibrate our use of shampoo etc downwards. All in all pleasantly surprised with the results.

More and more people are moving away from salt-based softeners and we're happy to provide the OneFlow+ as a product option. They are not easy to get hold of, so you are very lucky to have one in your possession. Thanks for your kind review. We appreciate that.

I purchased the Dolby One Flow back in 2020/2021. Initally I found that the product did not meet my expectations as I hadn't realised the system we bought was a conditioner as opposssed to a softener and the difference between them and the operational costs etc. I was offered a free replacement filter and later it was suggested that I opt for a higher Media Volume as our water is VERY HARD. Simon is very knowledgeable about water and so helpful! I had initally thought of getting a different system but Simon explained what I had purchased vs the options out there and I realised that actually the Dolby One flow higher media volume would actually better for us as opposed to a Harvey system. He also helped advised on the boiling water tap I purchased. Really informative and helpful. We've recently installed all the cartridges and waiting a few months to see how they perform but have noticed a positive difference with water taste and skin.

Friendly and professional

Received clear, unbiased, practical advice from the start. Delighted with the dual filter system we purchased & had installed 18 months ago. Just changed the filters and happy to say the after sales service is entirely as good. I will be returning for many years.

Best and affordable water filter

My feedback echoes other previous purchasers feedbacks. Simon and Lou were very responsive in answering my queries as to which filter to buy and they came back with a comprehensive response. This had helped me make the the right purchase. The installation wasn't hard as I am a keen DIYer. I am really happy with my purchase.

Replacement filter system for discontinued Eco3

Simon - what a star! From the moment I sent an enquiry about changing our water filter system due to our Eco3 system being discontinued, to asking for help during and after installation of the new one he couldn’t have been more helpful and approachable . We purchased the Fountain Filters Standard replacement filter system to replace our discontinued one and it arrived very quickly after ordering.

After we had successfully installed the new system we had a minor issue with a small leak. A quick call to Simon who suggested the unit might just need tightening up but if after tightening it was still leaking he would send out a new o ring . We followed the advice and managed to tighten everything up and it now works perfectly with no leaks . We are so pleased with our new water filter system and feel reassured that should we have any further issues Simon will always be on hand to help! Thank you so much for all of your help and patience helping us transition to our new system .

Purchase of a water filter UV lamp

I tried to find this UV lamp at a reasonable price all over Europe. They are quite common in England but no company except Fountain-filters was willing to ship one of them to Sweden. The package arrived promptly and was well-packaged and in one piece

Replacement filter for Franke Triflow

I wanted to replace the filter cartridge for my Franke Triflow water filter and came across this company. Their prices were competitive but more important to me was that they are local. I was even more delighted to find they are a small company. I got instant, personal service when I contacted them. Just great!

Great 3-way tap

Great 3-way tap, which was well packaged, with clear instructions. Our plumber commended the tap as good quality and easy to plumb in and connect to both water supply and under-sink filter. Looks brilliant in our new kitchen. Thanks to Fountain Filters for a helpful website and speedy delivery service.

waste of time

Order number: 1010985

I want to express my frustration with this company, particularly in my dealings with Louise, the owner of Fountain Filters. Before placing my order, I called to confirm stock availability. Despite my insistence to double-check and avoid any post-payment stock issues, Louise assured me that the item was in stock. Unfortunately, after making the payment, my order was not delivered, and I had to contact them to find out what happened. The explanation was that the post was lost, conveniently after the fact.

Upon seeing Louise's response to my review, I was taken aback by the lack of apology and the apparent personal tone. The owner's aggressive tone left me with the impression that there might be a need for a manager to handle customer relations. Rather than addressing the issue straightforwardly, Louise's response seemed to twist facts and claim to feel threatened.

In my opinion, an aggressive company owner does not bode well for customer relations. It would be beneficial for the company to consider hiring a manager to handle these matters professionally. Louise spent time crafting a detailed response to my review, but if that effort were directed toward improving business practices, the company might receive more positive feedback.

I feel compelled to leave a Trustpilot review and possibly create a YouTube video to share my experience. As a company owner, extending a sincere apology and adopting a less aggressive approach could go a long way. Had they been more transparent about stock availability from the beginning, there would be no need for a negative review. Ultimately, focusing on business improvement rather than attacking a reviewer should be a priority.

It's worth noting that despite Louise's attempts to have my review taken down, I have stood by the accuracy of my account of events, and my review remains visible. This further underscores the need for the company to address customer concerns rather than attempting to suppress honest feedback.

I find it concerning that my feedback has resulted in a personal attack rather than a constructive dialogue. As a consumer, I believe it's my right to express my experiences, both positive and negative, to contribute to the improvement of products and services.

While I understand that negative feedback can be disheartening, it's crucial for businesses to approach it with a mindset of continuous improvement. Resorting to name-calling and blacklisting customers may not be the most constructive way to handle criticism.

Uche of Brent.

You threatened us by email on the 6th of October 2023 @ 13:33 that you were going to leave us a “thrustpiolot review” (your words!).

We were also warned during a telephone call from another water filtration company (yes, it’s a small world!) that you had also threatened them with a negative Trustpilot review. Not only did you leave them a negative review just shortly after leaving us one, but you had also put in a PayPal dispute without even giving them the chance to refund you. I don’t think you realise or care of the impact your selfish ways have on other people’s businesses.

Your name is quite the chatter of the online shopping world. Of the 26 reviews you have left on Trustpilot, 13 are 1*, 1 is 2*, 2 are 3*, 2 are 4* and the rest 5*. Funnily enough, the last 5* review you left was for Trustpilot itself. Before that it was 2021 when you were last happy. Perhaps you should only be a bricks and mortar shopper and refrain from online shopping.

And what was the other companies’ hideous crime you may all be wondering.

That they were out of stock of a particular tap. A single lever drinking water filter tap.

So, this is what happened from our perspective. You placed your order on the 2nd of October 2023 @ 14:25. This was after first calling us to see if you could beat us down on price. I explained to you that we would not drop the price unless you were buying multiple units. You said you had seen the tap on another website for £10 less, but that company had then told you they were out of stock. This is the same company that you also left a 1* review for. You were clearly not happy, and this was reflected in your choice of words and tone of voice. I also said that these taps were sent directly from our suppliers, and I checked on their website to ensure they were in stock. They showed up as in stock. You ended the call quite rudely after not getting what you wanted.

Shortly after that phone call, I was quite surprised to see your order come in. I immediately sent your order off to our suppliers as I am so used to doing multiple times per week for drinking water filter taps. I didn’t think anything of it until you called us again on the 6th of October @ around 12:40pm. You were not happy, you were rude and abrupt, and you would not listen. I told you I would chase it up with our suppliers. I emailed you @ 12:46, “Thanks for your call. I’m sorry that your order hasn’t turned up and I am going to look into that now for you.” I did just that and emailed you again on the 6th of October @ 13:25, “Hi again Uche. I checked with our supplier and there is no trace of where the tap is in the delivery system. This means that it could be lost in transit. This happens sometimes. I have refunded you in full via PayPal as there is no more stock available. I’m sorry about this and do hope you find a suitable tap soon. Kind regards. Lou.” You replied swiftly and that’s when you threatened to leave us a review.

We have been trading successfully, with excellent customer reviews since 2011 and I can count on one hand how many instances we have had to deal with rude, selfish, and offensive people like you. It’s important that you reflect on how you speak to people. We do not have to put up with it and that is why you are now black-listed.

Great product, simple to install including hints on common installation challenges which I did have and overcame instantly because of the care taken by the seller. Whole of house now has soft water without a noticeable drop in pressure. Has made a massive difference throughout.
