We rec'd. a tel. call to ask survey questions about our water and win a $25 gift card. But the conversation became a request to set an ppointment to have a representative visit our house to test the water. This is'nt nec. since TV water is treated and safe. The rep. really wanted to visit us to sell us an expensive and unnecessary treatment system! Beware such phone calls!

Cathy H,
Welcome to TOTV! It was nice of you to pass along this warning.

Oh, yes, we got the call and the rep came to visit. Did a massive hard sell, it was so bad my husband told him to stop! He did not he continued. Hubby told him to stop again that we were through. He seemed to get an attitude, left and then called me with yet another offer. Interesting, nearly every home test we have had in the past always showed the same results, terrible water. We sent our water to the state for testing ( not this state) and it was fine.
Keep the card.
All new residents can expect to receive water testing calls from at least 4 or 5 companies before they give up and move on.
