water filtration company owner charged as customers speak out - where to buy air purifiers

Two homeowners in eastern Ontario have warned others that the high-pressure water filtration sales strategy has led them to buy expensive systems they don't need.
Dan Farrell said he and his family moved to the south Ottawa rural community in Richmond three years ago, fearing for the first time the use of tap water. So when a door-to-

Farrell said the filtration system came to knock on the door and told him that he would think the amount of chemicals and minerals in the water was dangerous.
Farrellpurchasing EDA installed a $4,000 reverse osmosis system under his kitchen sink, and after he was told he would receive free service within a year, installed 4,000 in his basement
A year later, the system stopped working and Farrell said he tried to call the company for five months to fix it.
But no one came to his house.
Just then he said he decided to test his water again.
"I went to a reputable water company and they sent the results of the original well to a lab in Ottawa and the result was zero.
"Like in the water, it may just be better than the city water, if not better," he said . ".
"We were really depressed at that time.
We were deceived in order for someone to use our money.
Take our thousands of dollars for whatever reason. "Pembroke, Ont.
His family tried to get a free remote control. He said his family had similar experiences when they moved to Pembroke, Ontario.
He said they won a free water test by mailing a scratch ticket.
When a salesperson from fcafiltration Systems came to their house and told them about their water unrest, he said he was skeptical about it.
"We were thinking 'thank you for the information, but we really can't afford to sign this year.
"It's just something we can't do right now," he said . ".
"Then he called the financial institution, hung up and said, 'Look, for you, I can make a special deal, if you buy it from us today, I can postpone the cost for one year. . .
We will remove it for free if you are not happy. ’“So (after hearing)
We said so much together, why not?
O'Reilly said they bought $4,000. the-
The sink filtration system, but after learning how many people in their neighborhood drank water from the same city system, they also decided to have others test the water.
"There is no problem with water.
We can't believe it, "he said.
O'Reilly said they still have three months to get the system out of their house before they get to that system.
Although the receptionist of the company promised many times, no one came. When the one-
This year has passed and O'Reilly says they are starting to charge a monthly rate plus nine points.
"Once they get your money, they don't want to talk to you anymore.
They don't want to have anything to do with you . "
"We feel betrayed.
We called them all the time and they ignored us all the time. . .
It's a very tough situation and we just think they get what they want and after that they don't want anything of us anymore.
"Taking our pollOwner as an example, last week cbc News, a provincial-charged company, learned that Ontario Consumer Services Department charged the consumer service system and owner bhawanjitgill in an unfair manner and failed to provide a direct agreement last week, also failed to refund the customer for O'Reilly's situation.
Last week, after a consumer service department contacted Jill with an investigator at the CBC, he had a worker come to Theo' reilly shouse, take out their filtration system and give them a refund
O'Reilly says he is now willing to share his story to help others avoid taking the same path.
"It's so easy to fall into the trap.
Just like I'm usually good at screening a lot of things;
"In this case, I was surprised," he said . ".
"If someone wants to buy a filter machine, it's OK, they can buy one.
But if someone doesn't want to, they shouldn't be forced into trouble through this sales strategy, in which case they cheat you and do the high-pressure sales strategy you don't want to do.
"Dan Farrell said he had not received a response from the company and had contacted the consumer service department.
He also hired a lawyer.
"I think the anger has just taken over, to the point where we speak out and look for other people who suffer (through)this,” he said.
"Now we have a lawsuit against these people.
We won't let them take our money. it's too much.
"Jill disagrees with the recorded interview. Cbc News has tried many times to talk to bhawanjitgill in front of the camera, but he disagreed and gave up the plan, saying he thought it would be a private meeting.
Gill promised to come back the next day but did not show up.
CBC's Ashley Burke did record her first conversation with Jill in which he said he had been doing business for more than 20 years and defended his company.
"We did a very normal test and we recommended them what they needed," he said . ".
"With water, I find out every time a customer calls angry (the)
City . . . . . . So we don't work so actively with water.
Jill plans to appear in court to face charges against feb by consumer services. 24.
