What a stupid thing to admit... but you read my posts... you just don't want
folks to know that's how you learn, a lot of rfc'er do exactly the same,
have been for years and years, right after I post something they paraphrase
me even though they claim to have my posts blocked or claim not to read
them. And I'm 100% correct.

Are you saying Lowes is lying on the prices? Anytime someone attempts to
extricate themself from an embarrassing spot with "I have a friend who"
everyone knows they're lying.

Were the system to leak it would be more likely at the connection to your
fridge, did they install a sensor tray under your fridge, I thought not.
Culligan is a rip off company, they over charge, they install inferior
products, their technicians know nothing about water treatment, and they
don't last at that job any longer than door to door vacuum cleaner sales
people... in fact they know more about selling vacuums.

You're just a sucker... may as well have "SUCKER" tattooed on your forehead.
You're just ****ed that I exposed you... no one with an IQ rents an RO
filter. Hey, psst... I got this here bridge for sale.

Anyway you don't have an RO filter, you only mentioned it after I did, and
no one else mentioned an RO filter... the thread was ongoing so if you had
an RO you certainly would have said so previously. Janet, your story has
more holes than a colander... LIAR!
