Water Filter & Softener Contract Help for Sault Ste. Marie Homeowners
If you signed an unfair water filter or softener contract at your Sault Ste. Marie home, the 2018 amendments to Ontario's Consumer Protection Act may apply.
Water Filter & Softener Contracts in Sault Ste. Marie
Sault Ste. Marie homeowners have been canvassed for water filtration and softener door-to-door sales pitched on in-home demonstrations.
What This Equipment Is Actually Worth
True installed value of a residential water softener or whole-home filter: roughly $1,500 to $3,500. Door-to-door contracts routinely run total obligations of $8,000 to $15,000 or more.
Water filtration and softener contracts often run 7 to 10 years, with monthly fees that compound to several times the equipment's installed value.
The 2018 Amendments Most Often Triggered
Unconscionable Pricing
Water filter and softener contracts are frequent examples of pricing grossly disproportionate to equipment value.
Unsolicited Contact
Door-to-door water filtration sales fall within the restrictions added by the 2018 amendments.
Unfulfilled Maintenance
Salt or filter replacement and maintenance commitments not delivered are an independent ground.
