I purchase water softeners from these guys for my home and to install in the homes I build for the past 7 plus years and i have been extremely happy with these water softeners and the customer service i have recieved. I perticulary like that they are a family owned and operated US based company.

Alan, seven years and two categories of trust — your own home and the homes you build for others. That's not a customer relationship. That's a professional endorsement. There's a meaningful difference between a homeowner who's happy with a system and a builder who specifies it for every home he constructs. One is personal satisfaction. The other is a reputation decision. When you put a SoftPro system in a home you built, your name is on that house and your judgment is behind that choice. Seven years of making that call consistently says more than any review we could ask for. The family-owned detail matters to us too — and not just as a talking point. It means the people making decisions about product quality, warranty commitments, and customer service are the same people whose names are on the company. There's no quarterly earnings pressure driving a corner to be cut. No corporate restructuring that quietly changes what the warranty covers. Just a direct line between the people who build the systems and the people who stand behind them. Thank you for seven years, Alan — and for trusting us with the homes you build. That means everything. 💧 — The SoftPro Water Systems Team

I originally went with SoftPro based on what seemed like independent references and also positive testimonials. From the start, I had the units set up backwards - they came in canisters and the head units didn’t come in the same boxes. In my case, unlike many of the pictures, my softener cannister was SMALLER than the carbon NRV filter cannister. Not the usual set up. OK on me, but I had a plumber help me install it, and he missed it as well. Would have been good to get a little warning. So I get the units re-plumbed correctly and still NO soft water. Ran several regeneration cycles and still 11 GPG – very hard. When calling, I got their AI support agent every time with a promise of a return call. They return the call with no way to get them back. Communication just crappy and product still doesn’t work. I am pretty much done with SoftPro, and plan to ask for my money back. Just go back to Culligan; they answer when you call. Just can’t trust the support behind this product which doesn’t seem to work for me.

If I could have rated this company a negative 5 star I would have! This company is based in France! No offices in the US! Customer service is NONEXISTENT! We needed their support during installation and got NOTHING! We figured it out on our own. Several times we have needed their support and each time we DO NOT receive any support! It is time to replace the filters so I placed my order 8/1/2026 I still have no tracking details and have sent three messages over the past week asking them to locate my order and still have had NO response as of 8/26/2026!

Hi Kristina, It was a pleasure speaking with you recently, and I’m glad we were able to get everything straightened out and resolve the concerns you had. I would also like to clarify one important point in your review for anyone who may come across it. SoftPro Water Systems is not based in France and has never been a France-based company. We are a family-owned and operated, U.S.-based business since 1990, born and raised in the United States, and we have been serving customers in the U.S. on the internet since 2001. We appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and work through your concerns. During our conversation, you mentioned that you would update your review once everything was resolved. When you have a chance, please consider updating your review so that it reflects the resolution and our conversation. If you ever need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. We’re always happy to help. Thank you, Heather SoftPro Water Systems

My husband and I purchased the ELITE SMART HE Water System on June 17th. This has been the biggest hassle I’ve ever experienced. The system arrived a week and a half after ordering, but when we got our plumber out here, we were missing parts. When we called, which you speak to AI, we called and left a message. Someone finally called us back and said it appeared we were missing a whole box. So they said they were sending it out. That took 10ish days to arrive. We had the plumber come out again, and the same piece that should have been in the new box was missing AGAIN. We called again 10 days ago from today, and a woman said she’d be sending it out and expediting it. It’s now 10 days from that and we called them again today, and they’re saying it must have gotten lost in the mail. How does it take 6 weeks to get our full system for installation? How has this been messed up MULTIPLE times and we keep paying a plumber to come out to do nothing? I’m extremely frustrated and out extra money because we’ve been paying a plumber his fee to come out even though it’s not our fault we end up missing pieces. This is absolutely insane, and I will never buy from this company again. EDIT to respond: We did not get it in 3 days after the call. I’m not sure what tracking you’re looking at. Also, we still had to order two parts on Amazon that was the corrugated connector to connect our systems. That part that should have come with the system NEVER arrived. You guys said it got lost again by the delivery company. So there were two different instances when you blamed the delivery company for losing the package because we kept calling back asking where the parts were. Also, we didn’t ask for the additional part that was an add-on. Your customer service person offered it after the first delivery where a box was missing as a “sorry about that”. We didn’t need that and didn’t complain about that when it didn’t arrive either, our concern was not having the hoses to connect our softener.

Hi Courtney — We are sorry your installation didn't go smoothly, and I understand the frustration of paying a plumber for a visit that couldn't be completed. I'd like to share what happened on our end. Your system ships in multiple boxes. When the order left our warehouse, you received tracking and an email confirming how many packages to expect, and each box is labeled "1 of 4," "2 of 4," and so on. We also send a post-purchase email asking every customer to verify all boxes and components have arrived before scheduling a plumber — specifically to prevent the situation you ran into. Unfortunately, the carrier lost one of your packages in transit, which is outside our control. Checking the labels and tracking against what arrived would have made the missing box clear before that first service call. Once you did contact us, we moved quickly: the replacement parts you reported missing shipped in under 24 hours, and carrier tracking confirms delivery within three days of that call. We sent exactly what was reported to us — no additional missing items were mentioned during that conversation. As for the part you're looking for now, it isn't included with the ELITE SMART HE system. It's a separate add-on purchase, which is why it wasn't in any of your boxes. I also hear you on the phone experience. We use an automated assistant to route calls and capture messages when our team is with other customers, and every message goes to a real person who returns the call — but I understand that waiting for a callback when you already have a plumber standing in your basement isn't what you needed. That feedback is fair and we're taking it seriously. — The SoftPro Water Systems Team

I got their Softer/ filter whole house system and all was good with payment/delivery, etc. I did have a little issue with the plumber stating that it needed to be delivered upright for it to work and returning the system may be a safe idea. SoftPro reassured me that it was a common concerned that customers had, but if I wanted a refund I could go ahead with reaching out to that department since it was unopened and delivered under 2 weeks ago, but would need to pay for shipping it back. I filled their online form and sent the email, and they never responded. I took the risk and got a different plumber and all is good the system works fine. My only issue with the SoftPro company, is they did not know I went ahead had it installed and they never returned or responded to my request for returning it. I worry if I do have an issue the company will ghost me again.

Christina, thank you for being candid — and we're genuinely glad the system is installed and working well. You deserved a follow-up and you didn't get one. That's on us, and we're sorry. There was a gap in our inbox access at the time your email came in that meant it wasn't seen — that issue has since been corrected. But we also recognize that Jason's assumption that no news meant good news wasn't the right call on our end. We should have checked in proactively to make sure you felt supported through the process. What we want you to know going forward: Jason is aware of your order and your experience, and you now have a direct line. If anything comes up with your system — any question, any concern — please call us directly rather than the general email. We want to make sure you never feel like you're waiting on a response again. The worry you mentioned about being ghosted in the future is valid given what happened, and the only way we can address it is by showing up differently from here. We intend to. Thank you for taking the chance on the second plumber, and for giving us the opportunity to do better. — The SoftPro Water Systems Team

I’ve been dealing with this company for over 2 months trying to find a fix to this softener and ultimately return this $1,500 water softener. With many dead end phone calls and 40 e-mails with Rheia trying to fix it with no success. I’ve had 2 local technicians look at it. They both say the resin is not cleaning on a regen, it doesn’t work. They also stated it is a 1.0 cubic foot unit and not a 1.25 cubic foot like I paid for. Soft pro says there’s nothing wrong with the unit. Rheia stated I cannot return it because it’s been hooked up and used. Website claims 6 month 100% money back guarantee. E-mails go un answered now and phone calls are a dead end. There’s a long “approval” process if any for them to decide if your softener can be returned. Save you time and money. They will not honor their warrantee. Claiming it’s the city water with high manganese. The two local technicians say that’s not the case otherwise every water softener in town would be plugged up and a properly working softener would take care of the high iron.

Charlie, we’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to provide additional context for anyone reading this review. Your system was purchased and installed as a residential water softener for hardness reduction on municipal city water. Since installation, our team has spent considerable time assisting through emails, calls, troubleshooting, and follow-up support in an effort to help determine the source of the discoloration concerns being reported. On May 20, 2026, we sent a detailed follow-up email explaining that Eagle Lake has publicly documented municipal water discoloration and manganese-related water quality issues. Public city documents and state resources reference manganese, discoloration, staining, and treatment infrastructure limitations affecting the municipal water supply in the area. In that email, we also explained that: a standard residential softener is designed primarily for hardness reduction, it is not a dedicated municipal manganese or discoloration treatment system, and replacing a control valve and resin alone would not necessarily resolve a municipal water condition issue. We additionally advised that if manganese fouling had occurred, cleaning products such as Iron Out may help restore performance before considering unnecessary replacement of new components. The system itself has continued to test and operate within expected parameters for hardness removal. Claims regarding sizing and specifications were also reviewed internally and do not match the allegations being made in this review. Regarding returns, our warranty and satisfaction policies do require an approval and inspection process for systems that have been installed and used. That process was explained in writing, along with the return preparation requirements. We understand your frustration and have continued trying to work toward a fair and technically accurate resolution throughout this process. Our goal has always been to help determine whether the issue is equipment-related or tied to the publicly documented municipal water conditions affecting the area. — The SoftPro Team

My wife & I would like to warn consumers... Be VERY CAREFUL making any type of business with SoftPro Water Systems. We've done everything asked by Rhea & she knows it. We have submitted screenshots of water test & from a local company that we had them also test the water. We emailed Rhea the results & screenshots of water test... they're lying. Too bad I'm not able to attach pictures to this review to prove that Rhea is/has been lying. Do NOT trust them. They sold us a water softener+iron in December 2024, we had it professionally installed by a local company. The units have not worked at all. We spoke with Rhea, the water consultant in May 2025. We asked to return the units, were within the 6 month return policy, but Rhea told us that we had to go through the troubleshooting process with her before she approve the refund. BTW, we spoke with Rhea in May 2025. Rhea knows that, we have mentioned it before. They're lying in their response to this review. Google SoftPro Water Systems & read the comments from many other customers who complain about being sold bad units/products & not being allowed to get a refund or replacement or anything. Rhea has had my husband do the very same steps over & over for 12 months. In September or October 2025 we asked Rhea for the 2nd time to return the units because they don't work, at that point she said the 6 month return window had already closed. HOW DIRTY & DISHONEST of her, she told us that we HAD to go through the troubleshooting process with her before she could OK the refund. For 12 months Rhea lied to us, she knew exactly what she was doing... lying to us & tricked us into believing she would approve the refund if after the troubleshooting nothing worked. We've had the water tested locally & we're told the units we've [the ones bought from SoftPro Water Systems] are not working. Rhea had us call Canature, the manufacturer, they sent us an email explaining that SoftPro Water Systems had sold us bad units & also units that are not fit for our household needs, in the email they advised us to speak with SoftPro to get our money back, sadly Rhea didn't care about it & refuses to do the right thing, which is give us our money back. We paid $2,132.65, it's so sad to know that American companies can be so corrupt have no remorse & no moral principles. If you do business with them be VERY CAREFUL.

Hi Rick, thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all customer concerns seriously and want to address the timeline and facts as we have them on record. We have no record of contact in May 2025 — our first documented interaction is from September 2025, at which point troubleshooting was performed and the system was found to be functioning as designed. We want to be transparent about this because the return window is an important part of the timeline in question. Following that, our team continued working with you in November 2025 and again in January 2026. In both cases, our technician requested that a water test be completed to verify whether the system was underperforming, as this is a necessary step before any further action can be taken. That water test was not completed at either of those times. We understand that can feel frustrating, and we are not dismissing your concerns. The troubleshooting process exists to ensure we accurately diagnose any issue — not to delay resolution. We are pleased that when water test results were finally submitted, our team promptly agreed to send replacement media for your systems. That reflects our genuine commitment to making things right when we have the information needed to act. We do want to address the claim regarding the manufacturer's email. We are not aware of any communication in which the manufacturer advised that the units sold were defective or unsuitable — if you are able to share that documentation, we welcome the opportunity to review it. We regret that this experience has been difficult, and we remain committed to a fair resolution.
