    Guys please beware!
    This company trading as <SNIP> or whatever they are now calling themselves are trying to sell rip off water filters or services for existing customers across the Galway area.

    This company are completely exploiting the consumer. Trying to charge 2,000 euro for a Water filter system and attempting to warn the customer off buying bottled water so that the family that drive around in 2014 BMW's. Do not be fooled!

    Use any other method to treat your water rather than dealing with these cowboys!please!!!!

    These guys also love to cold call asking you about your healthy lifestyle..do not answer!!

    Modern time exploitation!!

    ALL of those "reverse osmosis" filtration systems are a complete rip off unless you buy the system yourself and get a local plumber to fit it or even fit it yourself if you are handy with a bit of DIY.

    No point singling out one crowd when none of them are any real use or value

    Believe me. This crowd are using scare tactics to secure sales. Especially their approach to targeting the elderly for example is utterly disgusting.

    Every onne of those "companies" selling flogging water filtration systems are the same!

    They ALL work on scare tactics otherwise they would never get a sale!

    What is your story anyway or just connected to a competitor?

    I don't have to have an agenda to post about this company. I have no affiliation with sales of any kind. I am just genuinely concerned that harmless individuals are being completely shafted.

    There is absolutely nothing in the OP's posts that in anyway whatsoever would suggest she works for a similar company.

    Also, this company that has traded as <SNIP> previously is known for hard selling and excessive pricing and claims that they are taking on 400 staff at €700 a week! (funny - they are STILL advertising for those staff - must be no unemployed in Galway!)

    Last night's Watchdog on BC showed a scam in UK quoting similar stuff about chlorine/bacteria/flouride

    This was covered extensively in the media a few years ago. All these water systems fall far below what is claimed of them. They are all hard sells from cold calls and they are all far too expensive. Do you have a particular issue with this company or what advice are you looking for?
