"I can't say enough good things about Captain Filtration Water Treatment! I had two water treatment systems installed by them a few months ago, and once again, the service has been absolutely exceptional. This past weekend, my water softener started beeping, so I texted Captain Filtration Water Treatment. I honestly wasn't expecting to hear back until the next business day, but the owner responded almost immediately. He was incredibly willing to help and made himself available even though it was the weekend. The following business day, he came to my house, troubleshot the system, took care of the issue, and even topped off the salt for me. This is now my second experience with the owner and Captain Filtration Water Treatment, and both times the level of service has been outstanding. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a business where the owner is this responsive, dependable, and genuinely committed to taking care of his customers. I truly cannot say enough good things about Captain Filtration Water Treatment. Congratulations to the owners for running a company with this level of professionalism, customer care, and integrity. I highly recommend them!"
"Great Company! Todd is extremely knowledgeable. Very professional and an all around good guy. I highly recommend their service. Oh and the filtered water is unbelievable. I never had water that tasted so good."
"Extremely happy with Captain Filtration. Great communication throughout from Todd and Kevin. Honest and didn't try to oversell. Well priced and the installation was quick and professional. Couldn't be happier with my experiences thus far and I plan to use them for years to come."
"Kevin showed up on time, was knowledgeable and explained everything to me. He completed the repairs and checked the entire system while he was here. This is our second system installed by Todd and his team and I highly recommend them for all your water needs."
"Super professional service. I'm a GC and would hire these guys for new custom home projects and whole house water systems for my clients."
"Today we had a great experience with captain filtration. Kevin got our water softer and r/o system working properly again. Price was fair, no up selling, and showed up when they said they would. They will be our go to for any future water needs!"
"Five stars! Service was excellent. Kevin from Captian Filtration refurbished our 7-year-old water conditioner and did a fantastic job. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing and took the time to walk me through every step of the refurb process. I really appreciated his deep working knowledge of both our system and the local county water setup. It's rare these days to get that level of professionalism and clarity. This guy is a pro and you want that level ofcompetenencey. Thank you to Kevin and Captain Filtration! I'm looking forward to another rebuild in 7 years and to regular quality service every quarter."
"Kevin Campbell (Kevin) Took his time to answer all my questions, explain the whole process of how the system works, water tests before and after and what to look for if we need anything else or just have more questions. Very polite and professional. Would highly recommend Kevin and Captain Filtration to anyone."
"I don't leave many reviews, but Captain Filtration has earned this one. I've relied on them at four separate homes over the years, and the quality and consistency have been outstanding. Todd Buchman is the reason; he's responsive, he stands behind his work, and if a service issue ever comes up, he's on it right away and makes it right. It's rare to find a company you can count on across multiple properties. Highly recommended."
