I've never heard of such a thing and it smells fishy (plus I'd imagine you'd drive up humidity), so I declined.
Nothing is free. The one time I accepted a "free" water quality test by a third-party rep at the Home Depot, it went like this:
1. Sales rep arrives in the early evening, it's a young guy with high-pressure pitch for whole-house water filtration. Ok, whatever, quid pro quo. But...
2. ...my wife was exhausted due to being pregnant and having worked that day, so I send her off to bed, and then...
3. ....the sales rep jumps in saying that it's "company policy" that both members of the household need to be present for the presentation due to the "big decision" we have to make.
4. I run him out of our house.
5. Three days later, I get a phone follow-up from another company rep, wondering when they can reschedule. I politely but firmly explain their company will never be welcome in our house again, and why.
If you want water-filtered air entering your house, an evaporative cooler is almost certainly more reliable than whatever this company is selling.
