Bought a water heater from Lowe's and Arizona Plumbing Services installed it. Water heater is right next to the water softener Water softener started leaking right after the installation. Arizona Plumbing Services sent the service person back out and of course he denied bumping into my water softener or causing any damage. In calling GE, we determined the bypass valve was cracked and parts would be $200. We are currently working with Lowe's to try to resolve the issue but so far Lowe's is just offering $100 off a new water softener - good deal for all involved except me. Very dissatisfied.
