  • Free Shipping on Orders $75+
  • 60-Day Return Policy
  • Financing Program
  • Website Resources

Free Water Score Report

By visiting Quality Water Treatment’s website, consumers can check the water quality in their neighborhood. The analysis is free and there are only a few questions, so it shouldn’t take you longer than five minutes to complete the questionnaire. Once you’ve answered all the questions, you’ll be asked to give your name, phone number, and email address. A report for your community’s water quality is generated and sent to your email, with ratings given in the A, B, C, or D format. 

The report will give you some recommendations on which water softeners will best improve your life and how they compare to the competition. You’ll even get a list of which contaminants were detected. 

The free water score report is genuinely helpful as it easily guides you to a water softener that will best suit your needs. 

Top Quality Water Treatment Products

Purchasing a water softener from Quality Water Treatment can make a huge difference in many aspects of your life. Not only can a new water softener make your tap water taste better, but it can reduce your monthly energy bills, give you softer hair and smoother skin, effectively clean your laundry, eliminate hard water spots on your dishes, and more. Plus, a new softener can protect you, your family, and your pets from unwanted contaminants in your water. In fact, a Reverse Osmosis water filtration system can remove up to 98 percent of the contaminants in your water.

Free Shipping on Orders $75+

All orders that are $75 or more receive free shipping unless you live in Alaska or Hawaii. 

Additionally, Quality Water Treatment works hard to get all products shipped out within 24 hours, but your shipment could be delayed up to four to seven business days.

60-Day Return Policy

Customers have 60 days to return their Quality Water Treatment product for any reason.

Financing Program

Quality Water Treatment has partnered with PayPal to offer consumers 0% interest financing for six months. 

Of course, you’ll need to apply for the program and be approved. Still, we appreciate Quality Water Treatment making it possible to finance its products and reduce the upfront costs for customers. 

Website Resources

Quality Water Treatment has a robust website. The information is extensive and helps consumers make informed decisions about which water softener they should purchase. 

In addition to the general information base provided on the website, Quality Water Treatment provides helpful resources for water safety and upkeep information. Consumers can even check out the water softener comparison chart that explains the different products and the different features. 

Additionally, Quality Water Treatment has a FAQ page that answers most questions regarding installation, pricing, products, and customer service options. The company also provides various starting guides and how-to guides to help consumers get started with their water softener needs.

The Bad

  • Return Policy Stipulations
  • No Free Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii

Return Policy Stipulations

Quality Water Treatment allows customers to return products for any reason as long as they are within the 60-day time frame. This is a reasonably generous return period, but there are some things you’ll want to be aware of before making a purchase. 

Returns and exchanges will not be accepted after 60 days. All items are subject to a 25 percent restocking fee (shipping costs are non-refundable). Opened items or installed items cannot be returned. Both Berkey and Kangen products are not eligible for returns as the manufacturer warranties them. 

None of these conditions should be anything too surprising, but it is good to make note of these in case you are thinking about returning an item. 

No Free Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii

Unfortunately, there is no free shipping option for those living in Alaska or Hawaii. And if you’d like to purchase a Quality Water Treatment product, you’ll have to call the shipping team directly for a quote.

The Bottom Line

This once small, family-owned business has grown into a reliable and trustworthy water treatment company throughout the years. Having been around since the 1990s, Quality Water Treatment has a vast selection of water softeners and filters that will help you stay happy and healthy.

If you are unsure which water system you need, we suggest taking advantage of the free water score report and seeing which brand and model number Quality Water Treatment recommends. Just keep in mind that if you need to send back a product, there are some stipulations, and not everything is eligible for a return.

It's a horrible business model. Extremely bad for the consumers. I have purchased a brand new system, and tried installing it using a good plumber. It's been a nightmare since then. Right from the day of installation the system is not powering up. This company has no plumbers, they send you parts and expect you to replace them at your own cost. So after spending 1500$ their so called "State of the art" system and roughly the same in plumbing, the system is still not working. The plumber says it's not their problem. The company says it's not their problem. As a consumer you are better off hiring a local company and get a working product on day 1, with good customer service for the same price and 0 hassles.

Reply from Quality Water Treatment

Hello,

Our business model is and has been geared toward the DIY homeowner that wants to get a top of the line system at a more affordable cost and install themselves. HOWEVER we do also have a lot of homeowners that opt to hire a plumber or handyman to install which works just the same. In general, we sell high quality, warrantied equipment directly to homeowners. This allows our customers access to get professional grade equipment along with our technical support.

Although all equipment is tested before leaving the warehouse we still HIGHLY recommend checking all the boxes and testing the electronics of the equipment before proceeding with installation, especially if you've hired a plumber. As you know, we have already been addressing your specific issue regarding your faulty valve and the plumber’s installation and are very active to help get this resolved asap. We sent you a brand new replacement valve which we've asked that you plug in and test prior to scheduling the valve replacement with the plumber. Please do so and get back to us so we can proceed in assisting you with the rest of your concern (the plumbers fees to return).

We understand your concern and frustration, and we definitely want to make you happy.

I purchased a 32,000 grain SoftPro system and a spin-down pre-filter from QWT. Spin-down filter wasn't available, waited a month, nothing, so I cancelled.
