Can’t be returned: Custom-built commercial reverse osmosis systems that have been used, since these are built to unique specifications and impossible to restock
Why Express Water earned a C-
About Express Water
Reverse osmosis systems and whole-house water filters make up almost the entire Express Water catalog, aimed at homeowners dealing with hard water, bad-tasting tap water, or contamination worries rather than anyone shopping casually. It's a fairly technical purchase, so the site leans on buying guides and filter-replacement schedules to help you pick the right system.
Every system carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the fine print really matters: return it unused and unopened for a full refund, or expect a 15% restocking fee if you've already installed and used it, even if nothing was wrong with it. You'll also need an RMA number before sending anything back - refusing delivery without one forfeits your refund altogether. Custom commercial systems are a different story entirely, since those are built to unique specs and can't be restocked once used. It's best suited to homeowners ready to commit to a specific filtration system after doing some research first.
