Fountain Softeners Opiniones 

A week before xmas my daughter asked what could she do because her Harvey water softener had been leaking causing a high water usage bill and it was consequently isolated. That weekend I determined that the optimal solution in the circumstance was to buy a new ,boxed one from fountain softeners which they undertook to have delivered and did deliver by the Monday. I duly fitted the new softener but post commissioning discovered it was leaking from a not seen by me before on other units, a white plastic add on to the spool valve. The resulting problem was an ever rising brine tank level and water continuously running down the drain which matched the defect on the original softener. Having contacted Fountain they sent a van, changed the unit for another new one from Harveys factory. The new, new unit was fitted after dinner on Xmas day and commissioned by my son in law a few days later. In respect of this transaction I had an excellent fast efficient service from Fountain Softeners. Unfortunately Harvey Softeners appear to have ‘improved’ their design by the addition of a white plastic manifold on the side of the spool valve and it appears that may have caused these two failures.

If only you responded to your customers as quick as you reply to a bad review on here, I would still have my customer! This was the first time this customer used my services, due to the fact that your team took weeks to return a phone call or respond to an email, the customer thought I was taking the mick and lost confidence/trust in me. I was told I would be given a refund but as usual it took 6 weeks to receive! Unlike your company I issued the full refund straight away for the tap and my services, losing out financially. After chasing you daily, 6 weeks later I got a refund to find it was only partial. How can you have the audacity not to give me a refund for the tap and the filter, that I bought as a package - an embarrassing service.

I've had my water softener from Fountain for several years. I could always count on the firms support when I had minor issues with my equipment. I have now bought a new water softener as James was always helpful and assisted with any queries in a professional manner. It is a true pleasure to support this business time and time again.

Ordered a replacement water filter tap. The connection on new tap wider than existing. James explained the issue and has sent out a part to help connect.

Tech questions answered quickly and simply. Simple purchase of spare parts. Reliable delivery. Good service overall.

Took 2 weeks to fulfil a simple salt order - zero communication from them. Not the first time I have had issues - won't be using them again and suggest you avoid...

I have ordered my water filter cartridges from Fountain Softeners for some years. I have always found them to be very helpful and knowledgeable and my order has always been delivered as promised. I would recommend this company.

I telephoned the helpline for some guidance on a water softener supplied by Fountain Softeners in a house that I have purchased. The receptionist and technical team could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend.

Absolute ball ache of a company to deal with.
Ordered a water softener mid Aug for a customer, Chased endlessly after 4 weeks as no update.
Had a call with the sales director who again gave empty promises.
Have put it in dispute with credit card company, 7 weeks of being led up the garden path, joke of a company.

Like other reviewers have experienced, this company should be avoided if you don't want the hassle and don't want to be lied to.

I ordered 60 bags of block salt on 26th June after numerous calls to chase up, they finally delivered 33 bags on 7th Sep. After chasing for the remaining 27 bags for 4 weeks, I made one last attempt on 11th Oct to get it delivered. The lady on the phone promised to escalate it and give me a call back. This of course did not happen and forced me to raise a dispute with PayPal and requested a refund for the remaining bags, calculated fairly (Unlike this company, I am honest and fair).

They obviously have stock issues, and I will understand if they communicated that to me. Tell me a realistic time frame instead of telling me that it will be delivered in a few days or next week when clearly you know it won't.

I have been out of pocket for nearly 4 months and a lot of time wasted calling them.

You have been warned.

For a business operating a model that sells products to consumers who need to return to them and procure them every few months, it says A LOT about that company when people would rather forego the convenience of using the same supplier and go elsewhere swearing NEVER to use them again. This is an example of THAT company.
I would consider myself a reasonable customer - things go wrong, stock has issues - I can understand all of that if you communicate with me.
Instead, I wasted my time after parting with my money - on endless issue emails, phone calls, webforms, left messages and finally a raised DISPUTE with PayPal. NO response or inclination to resolve the issue with the incorrect part they sent me.
Thankfully I was refunded via Paypal and this is the only reason why this review even gets a 1 STAR.

I've never been driven to write a complaint more than I have from this experience. Hopefully, others read these reviews on Trustpilot and take their business (and repeat business) elsewhere. avoid avoid avoid.

Placed an order on September 18th. It’s October 4th and it still as “awaiting shipment” tried to contact them and having no answer.

Excellent service made easy from order to delivery!

I have never dealt with a company with serious communication issues. I placed my order for 1 pallet of block salt (£757.74)on 27 July 2023 for delivery in 7 days, The website sait it was stock item. I started chasing for deleivery after 7 days and called them every 2 to 3 days and every time they kept saying should be delivered in 2 to 3 days time.

After chasing for 33 days with no delivery date confirmation I cancelled the order on 31-08-2023 and i was told they will fully refund my order back to my debit card in 3 to 4 days. The account email confirm this on 07-09-2023 and I have still not received the refund as of today 14-09-2023. i am considering reporting the company for fraud payment with my bank and taking legal action to recover my £757.74.

Buying from Fountain Softeners is always a great experience. The team are very knowledgeable and patient with any questions I may have. I would highly recommend them.

Despatch a bit slow but packed securely and arrived in good condition the following afternoon.

Superb service with knowledgeable staff who had an in-depth knowledge of their products

Bought a Harvey Crown water softener after talking to James quite late one evening. Good price and 6 months free salt was even better.

Slight delay in delivery due to supplier issue did not detract from the experience. His staff answered the phone out of hours and were very helpful.

Can be a bit slow with any follow up action.

I’m always really happy with the customer service at fountain softeners, I’ve been using them for a few years now and have always had a good experience with them.
Their technical advice is always spot on if ever I need it.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, as I do to all my customers.

The initial technical advice was extremely helpful and helped me select the best water softener for my property. The responses via a Live Chat on the website portal, and to my telephone and e-mail calls were punctual, helpful, and very professional. Installation of the non-electric block salt softener was straightforward with clear instructions and all the components in place. I am very pleased with the professional and friendly service, and the excellent product.
