When it comes to investing in a whole home water treatment system, many homeowners are shocked by the high prices charged by leading brands. These exorbitant costs often stem from several factors that inflate the overall price, making clean and safe water seem like a luxury rather than a necessity. At our company, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality water without breaking the bank. Here’s why our water treatment systems are more affordable compared to others on the market.
The Hidden Costs of Traditional Water Treatment Systems
Sales Representatives and Commissions
One of the primary reasons why other companies charge more for their water treatment systems is the involvement of sales representatives. These reps are often commissioned employees who earn a percentage of each sale they make. This commission is added to the cost of the system, driving up the price for the consumer. Additionally, the process of in-home demonstrations and consultations can further inflate costs due to travel and time expenditures by the sales team.
Marketing and Advertising Gimmicks
Many water treatment companies invest heavily in marketing and advertising gimmicks to attract customers. While these flashy campaigns may capture attention, they add significant overhead costs to the company, which are then passed on to the consumer. These gimmicks often include elaborate promotions, fancy packaging, and persuasive but costly sales tactics, all contributing to the final price you pay.
Service
Service is always an integral part of these companies ploy to get you to spend more, year over year. And, as a business, we understand why. It’s a source of recurring revenue that allows businesses, like ours, continue to pay to keep the lights on and provide you with the best customer service possible. However, where things get dicey is when companies will use proprietary parts so that you have no choice BUT to pay their heavily marked up service fees! When you are the only one that can service something, you can charge whatever you want! That’s why their service prices are almost double what we offer. (Think Apple and the lightning Charger).
Planned Obsolescence
Imagine this, you listened to a three hour sales pitch, and after telling the rep no and handful of times, he eventually convinces you to spend $12,000 of your hard earned money on his shiny new water softener. You have it installed asap, because “why wait for your health?” the sales person says, as he’s secretly just hoping the sunk cost fallacy sits in and you don’t cancel within your three day rights-to-recision, or start googling and finding better products at better prices. But, you take that first shower and you are convinced it’s all worth it. Your skin feels softer, and there are no more rings anywhere in your bathroom. It’s great!…for a while. Then, one day, your water starts smelling, so you call out a plumber to come look at it. He says he can’t do anything to help because the parts are unique to the manufacture, and gives you the dealer’s number. You call them up just to be slammed with a $300 service call, and them telling you its time to upgrade. You ask if you can trade your system in for a discount. They say absolutely!… they will give you $239.99 off your new $14,000 system! You are irate, but they tell you your system is too old to be repaired and you need to upgrade. With no where else to turn, you go to Facebook market place and start looking around for cheaper options, and what do you see? Sure enough, the exact same system you currently have for $3,000. Now, it all settles in. You have been swindled, coerced by a clever sales person to pay a markup of over $9,000 for what equates to being a simple water softener with some carbon tossed in. Sounds like something out of a nightmare, doesn’t it?
