Company tells homeowners tap water is dangerous

Posted: Updated:

Homeowners claim a local company is trying to get them to think that their tap water can be deadly.

People complain that Aqua Clear Systems sent out water testers who turned out to be salesmen, pitching the advantages of a water filtration system that costs nearly $6,000.
