How Much Salt Should My Softener Be Using? If you live in Southern Alberta and are being supplied by a city water plant, your well aware of how hard our water is. Currently in Southern Alberta our water is a whopping 15 grains hard. If your wondering what that means,...

We had Holmes Ecowater install an RO systems in our new home. Installer did a great job and the water tastes great! Im giving 4 stars instead of 5 because we are still waiting for an email from their office so we can set up the app to monitor the system.

This is a review about this companies interactions with my 84 year old father.He called them to come and take his water system out of his house because he just sold his house. They came and did that, awesome. When they did this they didn't give him a price for removing the system from his house. What they did do was try and sell him an entirely new system for his new house for $800. No labour charge.He calls them to come and install the old system in his new house. After they find out that he won't purchase the new system, they proceeded to tell him that they will be charging him $300 to remove the old system from his old house. And my dad won't even tell me what they charged him to put his old system in his new house!So in other words they are going to get their 800 dollars whether he buys a new system or not!The old system took them less than an hour to remove, and they are going to charge 300 dollars for that? This is criminal.Somebody from the company better contact me and make this right so I can delete this review!

We called someone else first, they said they could not give us softened water except on the hot water only. We heard good things about Holmes EcoWater, so we called them. Eco water came out; Jaime and Richard. Two very nice gentlemen. And we have softened water (except for just 1 tap) so much more than we expected to be able to do. And fresh tasting drinking water with the reverse osmosis system. After everything was installed, and tested they cleaned up every scrap leaving everything neat, clean, and tidy.

Richard & Jamie replaced our water older softener and installed a RO system. Their work was superior, explained how all the equipment worked and maintaining thoroughly left the work area clean and tidy. So enjoyed the experience.Thank you Richard & Jamie and of course all the staff at Holmes Eco WaterChuck & Anne

My husband likes Ecowater because the first thing they do is walk you through potential problems/trouble shoot 1st. But after we still had problems, Jamie and Richard came over right away, I couldn't believe the customer service. And these two were so informative and very nice. Good job Ecowater.

We had a pleasant experience with Holmes Eco Water. Scott did a great job explaining how their products works. Soon after, we had reverse osmosis filtration system installed (by Michael) on our kitchen sink for our drinking water. We were quite pleased with how fresh tasting the water is.A little problem developed as a result of the install, but Michael came back promptly to fix it. We had been enjoying our fresh and clean-tasting water ever since. Thank you, Michael and Scott! And thank you Holmes Eco Water!

Once again, another year later, we had to call on Homes echo water for some maintenance to our system. Richard continues to impress. He is quick, professional, and gets the job done right! We really appreciate having someone so knowledgeable to help us keeping our water so delicious! Thanks Richard! (Updated April 2024).Richard was fantastic! He came on time and repaired our system for less than what was quoted. He didn’t replace anything that wasn’t broken, which is refreshing for a change. He was professional, and willingly wore a mask as per my request, as I am 8 months pregnant. We will use Homes echo water again and highly recommend them for all of your water needs. Thank you Richard!

February 2024 - as always... Richard walked me through resetting our system after a holiday. Much appreciated that we could do this over the phone!!!...Richard fixed our water system right up today! It was a much simpler fix than we thought, but he took the time to explain each filter, and patiently allowed me to make notes, so that our system should not need another service for a long time. Really appreciated that he had ALL the necessary parts & filters with!!!

We wanted a reverse osmosis system and went to see Holmes Eco Water . They sent someone out to the house in Fort Macleod, explained everything and the cost . We accepted the offer and the installer came in and gave us exactly what we wanted. Afterwards had another visit to make sure everything was A okay, which was an added bonus . Holmes didn’t charge any travel fees, I don’t know another company that doesn’t charge for travel, much appreciated. We love our system. We recommend the system and Holmes for your water needs . Thanks guys !
