Same here when we moved in Feb. $25 gift card for Bonifay etc. We thought what the heack... The water softener co - Pegasus- pays her for the leads. The WS guy came out a few days later. LONG pitch - we were not about to buy, just wanted the card. He tested our water --- very grundgy/dark after the test "additive". I then asked him to test a new bottle of spring water we had - he was taken back, but did it - I made sure he used the same testing process - IT was grundgy. His reason - the gvt has no standards for bottled water. sure....
After an hour of yada - price for a unit = $3,000. OMG... We said no - he pushed and pushed. Before he left - procedure is to call 'the boss'. On the phone he yelled out - "How about $2500??? Nope....

After more yada on his part, he was about to leave - I said - What about the gift card? He begrundgingly handed one to me. What a scam.
BTW we bought a Water Boss unit for $450, had Mike Scott plumbing install - GREAT!

Don't get suckered into this by them!
