What is RainSoft?

RainSoft produces water conditioning and water filtration systems intended for the whole home or a single point of use. The company offers a free in-home water analysis for those unsure of what they need in their homes.

RainSoft offers three water softener systems that address hard water issues:

  • The EC5 is a premium, computer-controlled, whole-home water softener system that is available in various configurations to fit your needs. It connects to the RainSoft Remind app for low salt notifications and filter change reminders. The system automatically responds to your water use, and the computer control saves water, salt and electricity.
  • The EC5-CAB system saves on salt and water consumption by using shorter cycles based on home water use. It comes with an easy-to-read display and distinctive alarm tones. You can customize the system’s functions to fit your family’s needs, and it's designed to deliver an uninterrupted supply of conditioned water.
  • The TC-M series is available in various configurations to fit your home. It's energy-efficient and self-cleaning, and the high flow rates deliver a consistent supply of water.

For drinking water purification, RainSoft offers:

  • The Ultrefiner II is RainSoft’s premium drinking water system. It uses three high-quality, multistage filters to purify tap water and remove small particles, lead, copper, chromium, VOC and chlorine. It comes with a lead-free faucet. The cartridge is interchangeable, which creates less waste than systems that require the whole filter to be removed.
  • The Hydrefiner II reduces chlorine and other particles that cause bad taste and odors. Each cartridge treats up to 830 gallons of water.

RainSoft also sells problem-specific filters to address individual water issues and systems, including the CleanStart laundry system, which oxidizes tap water to disinfect clothes.

How does the RainSoft system work?

RainSoft water conditioner systems soften water for the whole home using a salt-based ion exchange process powered by electricity. The systems are installed where the water enters your home from the municipal supply. Some systems are designed to provide a continuous supply of softened water, while others have computerized controls that respond to your family’s water use and produce softened water on demand.

While many of the models have self-cleaning and regeneration cycles, most also require filter changes, adding salt and some maintenance. Models come with replacement reminder alarms or connect to an app that alerts you when the system needs attention.

RainSoft water softener cost

RainSoft doesn’t disclose its water softener prices on its website. Its products are available for purchase through local dealers, so if you’re interested in buying a RainSoft system, contact a local dealer for a free in-home water analysis and quote.

How long do RainSoft water softeners last?

    Joliet water isn’t exactly great and I could taste it. A sales guy came to my door, and he ran through the whole thing, but I already knew. I had already been thinking about getting a whole-house water filter, and this just happened to be the time. Since I started using the RainSoft water system, the water tastes way better. My ice cubes don't smell funny. The water softener works great, and the calcification doesn't seem to be building up on the pipes or fixtures anymore. The filtration system is great, too. The price was less than I was expecting, and so far, the website looks like it's user-friendly.

    The installation was fast and easy, and they made allowances since I was redoing my basement. They made an accommodation for me to get shorter tanks, which was great. My biggest gripe is that I'm a little lost as to what filters I'm supposed to use and where I'm supposed to change those filters. That would probably be useful to know in the initial install. I might have to just go through the documentation if nobody shows up. Somebody was supposed to come out here and take a look at the system and see how things were going, but nobody has come out to see us yet. It's been about a month. The installers said they would be back out about two months after the installation. Maybe I misinterpreted the way things were stated. I've seen other people say the same thing, that the techs make it sound like they're going to contact you, but they don't.

      We just moved up to this area in Flushing, and our home is a well with a septic system. We were looking into the reverse osmosis, and RainSoft already had a conditioner, but we wanted somebody to come in. They're down the street from us. We saw that and thought to bring them in and see what they have to say, how our water looks, and what we can do to make it better. The gentleman that came that did all of the testing was the nicest man. We were running late, and he got to our home before we got here. He was so kind and knowledgeable. He walked us through the different options after we did the testing. But the day that we had a window on when they would come, they came on the earlier end of it which was awesome. And the technician was very nice, did what he needed to do, and explained everything. It took a couple of hours. He cleaned up after himself. I was very satisfied with the whole process.

      The water is very silky. We weren't sure if we have been putting in too much salt. This is our first experience with dealing with a well. But when I called RainSoft, they were very nice and said, "No, that is expected, that is normal. It's just that you're just not used to all the chemicals, the chlorine and everything that's been in your water. And that's what you're accustomed to.” However, we did not notice a difference in the taste of the water. But we've been very happy with everything.

      Trent and Chris, the second rep, were fine. They explained everything thoroughly. Also, the three installers did everything nice, neat, and professional. They had an issue, though, because they wanted to put the reclamation of the salt through the drain lines. I said, “This house is 55 years old. You can't do that.” Because there's no attic space for them to get to. So, we had a work around. It worked out perfectly. However, we never got the technician to come back out to show us how to get up to the mobile system. That’s the only thing that we have an issue with. We couldn't hook it up to our phones. We get down to stage three, and then it's very complicated to get it to connect to the phone.

      When the installers tried it, it wouldn't install, and they said, “Ssometimes it takes 24 hours.” It still didn't come through. My husband and I deleted the app, reinstalled it, deleted it again and installed. We walked it through on the unit outside, through the main screen. He said, “It gets to stage three. Wait for this screen to come up,” but it never comes up. Whether it's us technical or whether it's the Android phone connected, we're not sure. We're savvy with technical stuff, but it's not working. RainSoft's rep told us that a technician would come out in a week or so, but we haven't heard of anybody. Nobody has called. We hope a technician would call us soon to come set up the app. We left a couple of messages with Trent, the sales, and he said he would forward them all.

      The water is softer and drinkable water. The kitchen water tastes better than bottled water. We've noticed the difference in the water being soft, and the skin issues are not there after showers. The hairspray comes out of my hair better than it used to. It makes my hair softer. With washing the clothes, no matter which detergent I use, there's no residue in the towel, which is in the washcloth.

      RainSoft is worth the money. I was at Home Depot, and a lady approached me. Someone came out, did a water test with me. Overall, he did a good job with his presentation. Some of it was BS. I didn't see that there was that much of a difference. Other than that, it was good. I shocked him, because three-fourths way through it, I said, "Let's just talk money. I got to start cooking dinner.” He said, "I got to finish this.” I said, “No. Let's just talk money. I'm interested in the product. Let's go ahead and do it.” That threw him a curveball.

      The installation was cut-and-dry. This is an older house. The gentleman that came out to install it stood there in the basement for a bit and scratched his head. I said, “Right over here is where the main water comes in the house,” because he tried to find a line to tie into. I said, “Just tie in there. Let's just put it in here in this room.” After that, it was a breeze. He had it done in 45 minutes. Great taste in water. Also, it feels like you're in the shower, but you can't get the soap off of you. But we knew what to expect from that. I've already told a couple people about RainSoft and they're discussing it with their significant others.

      My husband was always concerned about the water. RainSoft caught his attention when he went to Home Depot and we gave them a try. They came out and did their job a couple of days after he mentioned it to them. The sales rep could sell anything. I wasn't interested before he came. But after he came, I was impressed. After I listened, I was convinced. He was very personable and charming. He knows his stuff and did an excellent job in selling the product.

      So far, we have no problem with the system. We've been loving it. We have a system put in the garage and under the sink. The water tastes great. It doesn't have that funny taste anymore. Thanks to the water filter, I just get the water from the pipe and put it in the fridge or get the water and drink it straight out the pipe. The showers are fantastic too. Just like the rep said, you don't have to use a lot of soap. My daughter said the water is like a luxury spa. She could tell the difference. After using the water and seeing the difference, I could tell it feels like some luxury on your body.

      I regret not getting the RainSoft water treatment system installed sooner. There were no complications with anything from when we met the salesman to the installation. Since we’ve had the system, the skin is not as dry. The dishes don’t take as much soap to wash, and way less soap to use with the laundry, too. There are no hard water stains on my dishwasher or my dishes. The rep was great. He was informative, knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all the questions we had and financing was easy.

      Everyone at RainSoft was absolutely excellent. The fellow who came to the house to test the water was extremely good. On a scale of 1 to 10, he was a 10. He was very patient, took his time, and answered all the questions. Since having RainSoft, I don't have to dry my car any longer. There are no water spots in my car, which is wonderful. My dogs love the water too. They're drinking twice as much water. I also love the amount of soap we don't use in laundry and/or our dishes. It's been amazing to see how little soap we use to get the same results. Even though RainSoft was fairly expensive, I don't regret doing it.

      The system is fine, but ordering parts is a pain and customer service has been non-existent. I have a system that requires proprietary filters that they don't sell online or in retail locations. Perhaps they have them at stores or something, but the closest ones are over 100 miles from me. When I ask for information online, all they do is tell me to call the closest reseller, which for me is across Lake Michigan. So I have to call another state and timezone just for information. When I did call, I left a voicemail asking for information. They called back. I missed the call. They left a voicemail that answer none of my questions. I've send multiple emails. Reached out on Facebook to get nothing back.

That part of it went smoothly. I love the water. No more iron in the water, which is awesome. We've got the reverse osmosis drinking water system, too. That has been great. Our water was one of our biggest problems we had with our house when we built it. We noticed the softness of it, and the taste and smell are all gone. Just be ready for the cost. It is expensive, but it's good water and it's worth it.

      The salesperson at RainSoft was great. He spent a lot of time. He was very detailed and did lots of demonstrations. The installer was great. He was working with my husband, and I arrived on the tail end when he was essentially finished. But the interaction I did have with him was pretty good. The salesperson was one of the highlights of the entire process because he was at our home for quite a bit of time, and we didn't end up purchasing right away for whatever reason. But my husband was able to connect with the same representative. So he came back out to our house a second time. The buying process was great.

      We bought a house in December in a new subdivision, and RainSoft came through the neighborhood. We never drank tap water and always bought bottled water, which made us look into a water treatment system. The consultation and sales reps were extremely professional and knowledgeable, and we were satisfied. The installation went smoothly. The installer was quick and efficient, and answered all our questions.

      Since we purchased the system from RainSoft, we now drink water from the tap, which we wouldn’t do before. Our dishes dry faster, and our skin feels better and softer after showering and washing our face. There is also no soap scum on the shower door. But I noticed that the floor of the shower turns a bright pink after a while and we’ve had to clean it a couple of times. I even noticed it in the guest bathroom, the sink and in the toilet. It’s an easy clean but it is noticeable after a while. The price was a little steep but I would recommend RainSoft to others.

      They came to our house in late October early November of 2025 and gave their presentation. They PROMISED us a $100 Home Depot gift card that would be emailed to us for listening to their hour long talk. We're still waiting for the email which they NEVER sent. They didn't leave a business card or any way to a hold of them either. They tried to convince us that it works only cost $99 upfront, but after much pushing and insisting on asking how much the total system world cost at finally got an answer or of these sales people who are more like used car salesmen. It was around $10,000 total for the water filtration system not $99!!!!. We still expect them to honor their word and email us the $100 Home Depot gift card they promised us. We fulfilled our end of the bargain. Now it's time for them to do the same.

      We need cleaner water without all that other stuff that's in it. We heard about Rainsoft at the Home Depot here in our city. We tried them out, and they were professional. When they came in, they did the presentation of it and they knew what they were talking about and were just very informative, which we like. The water is actually much smoother now. When we shower, we could actually feel the difference from when we first moved to when we did this system thing. You could feel the difference in your skin. My wife feels it in her hair. It's different. It's a good thing. It's the best decision ever. You're gonna be saving money in the long run from the water that you're gonna be using. You don't have to use so much detergent and all that stuff for your laundry.

      I researched water for a while and a friend that lives up north told me about RainSoft. When I had them come out, their in-home consultants, Bill and the whole crew, did an excellent job. I was very impressed with them. After the water testing was performed, we realized that our water was super bad and we decided to go with RainSoft. We got a whole house system and since then, our water has been 100% better. It has cleared the water up 100% and it softened it down quite a bit more too. Their product works 100% better than most products out there.

      Whole house water softener system WiFi-enabled EC5. This is the best solution for our family. Nothing else is close to other options. You will know how much better the water softener works when this is in your house. You will never want to leave home without the feeling of the water softening process.

      We've had some work done by American Home Design and they're the ones that put in the RainSoft equipment. Our experience with our RainSoft system has been great. We love it so far. The taste on the water has been different and I've noticed especially hair and my skin are improving.

      Totally was misrepresented by salesman, l was told that the trouble was was $75 and free parts, the filters needed changing only every two years, yearly free inspection. Reality l was l was just told you can end up having to change them every 6 months, trouble call is over $100, filter replacement $285. The Reverse Osmosis system worked great for only 1 1/2 years then after spending $285 to replace the filters it never worked again properly, after filling 2 bottles it goes into dripping. Custom Service is totally unacceptable and not helpful. After spending almost $7,000 in 2023 this is what I got, a system not worth the money. This company needs to choose more honest dealers and provide more customer support back up. I will also submit a complaint to Home Depot where I picked up the Free Water Testing Kit, so disappointed.

      Response from RainSoft Water Treatment Systems

      Dear Consumer Affairs,

      We appreciate this opportunity to provide assistance. We have spoken with the selling dealer in Newport News, VA., who explained the reverse osmosis was installed in 2023 and was inspected for low water pressure last year. The dealer said the water pressure tested normal at that time. The dealer has offered to run service at no charge if they find a problem that is due to manufacturing. If the problem is simply due to the filters needing to be changed then the customer will be charged a service call.

      Kind Regards.

      My house was a new build and I was looking for a water softening company because I wanted to protect my pipes from hard water buildup. I also wanted all my appliances to last longer. RainSoft was offered to me through one of the companies that installed their system and I liked the deal that they gave me. Their sales rep was very good. Since I got the RainSoft system, my skin's softer, my hair feels cleaner, and everything doesn't spot up.

      The water was pretty bad in my area. I went to Home Depot and gave my information to an employee. Then RainSoft gave me a phone call, and we set an appointment to stop by. The rep showed me the water treatment test. He explained the system to me. He brought everything in. He also explained the warranties. He brought us the brochures and explained everything to me. It was fine. The installer was a great, reasonable, and nice guy. He knew his stuff. Since having the system, the drinking water is good, and when you shower, the water definitely feels softer. Everything's been perfect. It's a great system. It does the job.
