Owner reports

On-site (Yotpo) low-star reviews repeatedly report iron staining or sulfur smell persisting after install, leaking or broken fittings, and unanswered support calls; one notes the nightly backwash dumps 30+ gallons. Brand-level BBB and Trustpilot complaints add slow shipping (orders held for the required water test) and poor customer service.

Trustpilot: 2.9 from 2 reviews (source).

Current model names are WS1 and WS4 (no 'WSv2' naming on the site; only fittings are labelled 'V2'). WS4 flow: 20 GPM on the product page, 18 GPM in the linked WSSS manual.
