To call it a scam may be going too far. It's just another company trying to sell a product that may appeal to some people - like Direct Energy pushes its maintenance contract. Yes it would be a scam if they didn't deliver or supplied a product that didn't work.

We've been using tap water filling them in glass bottles. We dishwash the glass bottles daily and they are good for the day. Read somewhere that plastic bottles are carcinogenic - probably due to the BPA content - so stopped using them a long time ago.

Some people cant handle city water, i know a friend who got allergies with city water in Detroit where as the rest were just fine.. Doctor recommended using bottled water as he was allegic to additives.

Personally i prefer the taste of water after it passes through brita, maybe the city water has some harmless suspended impurities that alters taste.

For some people wanting a filter may be a lifestyle choice..


A lot of door to door salesmen try to use under the table tactics to get u to sign.. i remember my wife one ended up signing up for a gas contract , while the salesmen told her he wanted her signature to do a price match.

I kept getting calls from direct energy which i kept hanging up and after getting 3 calls in 3 days i finally listened to what the person was saying and i realized what was going on.. Thankfully the government has put a process in place where DE needed to verify any door sales with actual phone calls.

Another time some one comes to sell me a gas contract , i asked him for a price pamphlet , he refused to give it to me.


These guys use all sorts of illegal tactics to sell u a service..

I think mainly impurities are not in the water but it's from the piping. If anyone live in an area where nearby supply lines are very old than water may contaminate some impurities.
Therefore, it is advisable to drain some water( about couple of minutes) before storing it for drinking or cooking. It is also better idea to go for cheaper options like Brita or any low cost filters available at Walmart or Superstore is fine but no need to go for highly expensive filteration system.

I had a man come to our home and try to get us to sign up with Greenlife Water. He tested our water and it turned pink. My wife asked why it did and he went and told us that its chlorine. Of course there is chlorine the water cause it there wasnt then bacteria would grow in the water. I simply told the man this and he froze. He then changed the subject to bathing in fresh water. When it came down to it he tried to sign us up 30 dollars a month for 6 years!!. I told him that I would think about it and after I did my research I would call him back. He said if I signed today the installation would be free. I still refused and off he went.

After researching I found the filtration unit online. You can buy it for 800 dollars from Aquasanacanada.com But Greenlife has a contract with the manufactures of their filter system which is the Rhino EQ-300. So if you live in Ontario they cant sell to you. But there are several other companies that can sell to you.

I just ordered a unit from another company and a plumer is going to install it for $100 to $150. The only other cost is changing the prefilters every couple of months and that is so easy my son 14 year old son can do it. You can buy 4 filters for 16 dollars and that will last you a year if you replace the filter every 3 months.

Save yourself money and buy the unit from another site and change the filters yourself. Greenlife Water is a rip off. They trying to lock you in for 6 years where they will milk you. 30 dollars a month plus their inflated cost for filters. Times are tough and some of us just cant afford to throw money around. I hope this helps people out there make a better choice financially.

Vaccines for flu, filtered water on top of clean water, air purifiers, organic food...are we really making our immune system weak? People would have started to get sick right n left should the water provided by city is even little unhealthy. I have my close friend working for GE water which is responsible for making the drinking water sage. He does not have a single filter at his home. We do not have any filter and do not prefer to use bottled water. I would rather get sick couple of times and fight the bug out (if there is any in water) than make my immune system susceptible to any little ....ummm bug..

Agree with you.

It reminds me my experience while hiking in Himachal Pradesh - a hilly state in India where most of people use un-filtered water from river or well. They have developed high immunity against water born diseases.

You also said that Vaccines for flu makes immune system weak. As far as I know, the flu or any other vaccine contains a very mild dose of bacteria/virus so that our body can develop immunity against it. So it is not the same as going for filtered water.

Some of you must be aware of this but I just read this so thought of sharing with CD's too:

Representatives from Green Life Water have been going door to door and
advising people that our tap water is unsafe. They are using tablets to
supposedly test the water, then signing you up for a filtration system.

I called Region of Peel there is nothing wrong with our tap water; there
is an investigation underway with the police department. Do not let
these people in your home.
