These people contacted me, at first, seeming to be part of my homeowner's association offering a "free gift." Their offer said nothing about them being a water treatment system or anything sort of obligation to buy for the "free gift."
They didn't even tell me their company's real name, H20 To GO, until they got to my house. The person who showed up to my home was Eric Blum, who showed up in a t-shirt and shorts. We took apart part of my living room for his "presentation" (it was just a notepad and binder - he didn't even need as much space as he asked for) which he said he'd help with when he left.
During and after the presentation, I had a lot of questions and some of his answers didn't make sense. Then, when he'd ask me questions, his rude response to my answers would be "well, if you're telling me the truth, I can do this..." Why would I lie?
And the free gift? He wouldn't give it to me.
He was very pushy for me to sign a contract the same day, stating that "less than 2% of people will come back and buy from the same representative in one day if they don't buy at first contact." I kept objecting and he kept pushing. Ultimately, I wasn't willing to invest $3000-$5000 in a system without learning more.
So, he left in a rude huff (and didn't help put things back together). I looked at reviews of the company and saw others have had the same experience: "When we showed some resistance into signing his contract he became very rude and walked out of our house."

I found out, through other reviews, that their free gifts are scams anyway. One person said "My biggest complaint is false advertising! They initially contacted me by phone saying they would give me a "$50 gas card which can be used at any Chevron" if I listened to the presentation. That stupid card was a REBATE card. You had to save your gas receipts for 5 months to get $50 because the terms state they will only rebate up to $10 per receipt AND you can only get one rebate per month."
