You sold me an $89 two-pack of supposed filter replacements for my spa. I contacted you and informed you that the replacement "choked" my water flow, surging, as if without enough water. Your reps made me upload a video (instead of just refunding/replacing with the correct filters)...and then said the video wasn't enough! I'm 67 and not good at doing stuff like that. I was shocked that I even had to go through that. They told me to add more water! I've owned and maintained this for over a year. Insulting! Then? You agree to send me an ACTUAL OEM filter. Not two, just one! You used Watkins Wellness's kindness (who I separately spoke with) to send me an OEM...and called it even. You claimed you've NEVER heard a complaint about the Darly filters for my spa, but funny enough, Watkin's rep KNEW right off the bat that the filter capacity was a likely issue....and it WAS THE ISSUE. Your customer service made me think I was talking to an illegitimate back room store front. Seriously! I even offered to ship the second, useless filter back! Nope. They just didn't want to refund my money and gave me one filter that was CORRECT. Will never purchase anything from here again.

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time understanding that we are partners with Watkins Wellness, and we made sure you got two (2) OEM filters for the aftermarket filters you ordered. We indeed sell thousands of the aftermarket filters and have not the issue you were experiencing more than two other times...and adding more water resolved those issues. Our goal with the feedback we requested was intended to provide troubleshooting and feedback for the aftermarket manufacturer, as we do not want to sell a product that does not work. We appreciate your willingness to help us gather the information, which we collected after we had already shipped the OEM filters. We appreciate your feedback, again!
