For immediate release
The Logan Lake RCMP Detachment has received a complaint of aggressive door-to-door sales of a water softener system. Reportedly the salesperson uses high-pressure sales tactics to sell the system which may not be required by the homeowner at a price much higher than market value. The person may be using chemicals to cause normal minerals dissolved in the water to react, become visible and float to the surface. It is completely normal to have minerals in tap water. Also the person may be implying that sodium in water impacts blood pressure, there are concerns about contaminated drinking water, and so on.
RCMP would like to remind the public to treat strangers selling items with caution. Be sure and ask for identification. If you feel at all suspicious or pressured, turn them away. If you are interested in what is being sold, it is always a good practice to contact a few local, reputable companies for a second opinion before making any purchase and obtain some estimates. You may find that the service is not recommended or required, or that you can obtain the same service for a better price.
Canada has some of the finest drinking water in the world. While there have been extremely rare and isolated incidents of water-borne illness in Canada, a water softener does not purify your water.
The water in Logan Lake is not treated as it naturally meets the Canadian Drinking Water Standards; and the Department of Health in Kamloops tests the water on a weekly basis.
