Water Depot Inc.

My 15 year old Kenmore water softener malfunctioned. I tried to call Sears but of course all I got was voicemail which was full - no wonder they went under as it has been impossible to contact them for service for several years. Next I checked Homestars listings for names and saw that Water Depot Bolton was reasonably close to me. Sent an email and had a response and a service appointment within hours. Service personnel (Stan) showed up on time as promised and quickly diagnosed the problem which I had already suspected. Since repair was not a wise decision I asked for a quote on a new install - I had anticipated this result so had researched products and prices on the internet. Water Depot's product was as good as any and better than most. Stan's price was competitive with other units of similar quality and much better than one of the big multi-national water softener suppliers whose product was not rated any better. Several days later Stan showed up and removed my old unit and installed the new unit all within an hour or two. Nice neat install and I was back up and running and Stan disposed of my old very heavy unit.
Follow Up - several weeks after the install I observed that the regeneration process seemed a little frequent so emailed Water Depot Bolton. Got an immediate response and an appointment for a service person to check it in a couple of days. Issue turned out to just be an adjustment due to our unusually low water usage and our recent frequent vacation travel. Very prompt service and no charge. Great organization to deal with and super prompt on returning emails. I also now plan to get my salt from Bolton as I really like their product.
