Thanks so much for posting this -very informative! And should be required viewing for those closing on new/used homes here,

When we moved here into our new home 4 years ago, we encountered some of these folks trying to make a quick buck. The biggest one was a 'water softener' firm coming out to 'test our water as part of the Welcome Wagon'... He spent an hour here with a spiel, and "tested" our water with a special chemical. It turned cloudy and yucky. I them told him I wanted a glass of water tested too. In another room I poured bottled spring water into a glass. He put the drops in and - viola' same yuck. He then gave us a quote of $5500 for a system. We said no - he called his boss and told us we can have a special price of $4000. I then told him about his scam - and he left - after I demanded our $25 gift card they enticed us with. BTW the company starts with a P and ends with an S, and is a word for a mythical winged creature. Stay away from them.
