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.

The RainSoft rep was very knowledgeable. The installation went very well. The installers came back the next day for something under the sink. We have loved the system since it's been installed. We have rural water and the water was hard and it smelled like bleach. I love the water now.

I had a RainSoft put in when I lived in Colorado back in 2005 and I really liked it. I just had a new house rebuilt, and I wanted one put in. The experience with the reps went really well. There were two of them. One guy was very knowledgeable. The other guy was an apprentice. Both were really hard-working. They didn't get in our way at all, and we didn't get in theirs. It was a very smooth experience. I wound up getting a good deal from him. He said I didn't need everything that I wanted. I love the system. We have terrible hard water out here and it's a lot softer now. I noticed there's no lime buildup on my shower heads and it feels so much better when you can shower now.

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.

When I just purchased my home, RainSoft called and asked me if I would be interested to do business with them. The presentation was good. The guy was really good. It was interesting to see the dirty water compared to clean water. So, that sold me. I didn't have any intentions of doing it at all. I wasn't gonna do it until he started doing all his science projects.
I got products installed throughout the whole home. I have the big things in my garage that filters the water throughout the house, and then I have something that's on my washing machine. I do notice the difference. I drink the water now. My refrigerator has a filter too. I wouldn't give RainSoft a 5 because I have to call them about the RainSoft app, where it gives me alerts to when I know that the system is cleaning itself, and that's not working for me. I had to keep texting the lady that came out after it was installed and asked questions about the app and I couldn't have it all the way together. Overall, the system is worth the price, but times are hard and it is expensive.

I was at Home Depot, and a lady from RainSoft approached me, asking me if I was interested in a water filtration system for my home, and that I would be entered into a raffle for $500. I said, “Sure.” She handed me her phone. I was on a phone call with an operator to set up the time. We had already done some research online about water filtration systems for our home. Someone approached us at Costco one time about their system. We got approached at another time at a different location for their systems.
RainSoft came in. They made their demonstration. We said, “Yes.” The gentleman was quite nice, very knowledgeable, but really sold it on the whole package with the washing machine device for the washing and the air purifier, which we don't really use, the drinking water, and the whole house filtration system. Then last year, one of my water heaters burst. And then when it burst, we called the plumber. The plumber just randomly said to me, “You wanna see what's inside?” I was like, “Sure. Okay.” Then he opened it. We saw all the hard material that's left in the water tank system. We were like, "Oh.” He said, "Yeah. That's what goes into your body every day.” I was like, "Yeah. It's nasty. Don't tell me that.”
We saw, firsthand, all the hard material that is just sitting, residue, at the bottom of the tank. And that's why they tell you, “Don't forget to empty out your water tank every six months.” But we exchanged that. We have a tankless water heater now. It was at that point where we decided that we should get soft water, ‘cause it's also better for our pipes.
We got the filtration system that goes under my sink in my kitchen for water, for drinking water, and then the actual filtration system for soft water for the entire home. That sits outside in this container that they put in place. And then the system, a little white device, or oxygenation device, that goes behind my washing machine.
From the drinking water-wise, it’s been amazing. It tastes like a bottle of water. Regular water-wise, it's just really nice. My daughter has eczema. Since we got the RainSoft system installed, we've noticed a difference in her skin. Less itchiness, less dryness around her skin. That was just a complete wow for us.
On the side of the washing machine where they installed that device on the back of my washer, we really haven't seen any difference at all in that, in the way the clothes are washed or how they come out. They just have no difference at all. But for the drinking water, filtration of the water, the system for the whole house, it’s completely worth it. The system for the washer, the system to wash clothes, is not worth it at all.
We've noticed a big difference, even my kids. My kids say, “Daddy, the water tastes different.” We haven't noticed the use of less shampoo. It's always like one pump. We still use the same shampoos and the same soap, so nothing really has changed. Bar soap and regular shampoo for the kids. But other than that, we notice that it's very bubbly. When you wash your hair, it's even more bubbly than normal. My wife has also noticed a difference in her hair and in our skin textures. Our skin is softer, which is weird for a guy to have soft skin. But I have soft skin now.
We're very happy that we invested in the system itself, especially for the water. We're not buying water bottles anymore. We disconnected the water system to our refrigerator for drinking water because we just don't use it. We just use the one that was installed by RainSoft. And even our kids who normally don't really like water, or even me, we drink a lot more water now, because it tastes like a water bottle, even though it's not, which is weird. We’re beyond pleased and extremely happy that we have healthier, drinkable water at home now.

RainSoft’s reps were going door-to-door and they set up an appointment. I wasn't interested in it and I just did it to be nice to the lady. I had heard about water softeners before and we have hard water in our area, and I was impressed by the presentation. I was convinced that it was a good thing to do. We consume a lot of bottled water, so I'd always heard about microplastics and different things like that. So, a water system would be a better way to go long-term. We got a salt-based system and reverse osmosis for the drinking water. The water seems good now. We’ve noticed a difference, at least with taking showers and drinking water.
I have been checking the salt, so I see it is going down, but it's not at a point where we need to add more salt. So, that's something I was going to need to follow up with them to get a better understanding of how the maintenance works on the system itself, as well as the reverse osmosis system, because I'm not clear on that part of it. I have an app on my phone, and it shows the depletion level or percentage of some sort. And when that gets down to a certain amount, that's supposed to give me a notification.

Our whole neighborhood has water issues. It comes out of Benton City, so it's really bad water. Someone was getting a system installed, and I watched it, then RainSoft came over when I called them. They did a water test and my particular water was better than my neighbor's because I had a pre-filter installed when I built the house. My water was already one step ahead, but it didn't get everything out and it was not perfect. Now, it is and we noticed it right away. The water is cleaner, clearer and feels better to take showers with. The taste is by far where it should have been from the beginning too. I have peace of mind for two years. They said they're gonna come back about two years, which is when the system has to be changed out. I've been telling people to give RainSoft a call and try it out. There's nothing to lose.

The lowest star on this is a one one but if it had a negative I would give it a negative five star. I have never in my life had such poor response. I have attempted multiple times to get my system repaired and I can never get a call back. They do not stock the supplies. Even a local plumber called them and still cannot get a call back.

The house that I bought had a RainSoft equipment installed, but it wasn't working. Also, the monitor didn't work. RainSoft's rep came out and tested the water. He said I had hard water. So, I had to get a new monitor for the system that I already had and the guts of the system. I had the tank and the salt storage, so they let me keep that. Their rep was very personable and easy to talk to. Then, the installer answered all the questions I had and he showed me a few things. He also helped fix some problems that were going on before putting the new monitor in because I had some issues with the water heater. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I enjoyed the company and hope to continue with them for years to come.

The initial install by RainSoft Water was good. Guy was prompt. He brought everything. There was a little hiccup with one of the drain lines didn't get installed, but that wasn't a big deal. He told me what to do. They just had to put a hose over a fitting, which was no big issue. Super helpful with that. One of the parts broke on it and sprayed water all over, which was a bit disappointing. But had one of the techs come out and fixed it. They were out there within 24 hours of noticing the problem. 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 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.

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.

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.
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.RainSoft Customer Service

We were in Home Depot, and the lady approached us and offered us $50 to let somebody come out and test our water. We've been here for three months, and where we came from in Florida, we had a water softener system. We've always had water softeners, and we wanted one. This RainSoft system is standalone, hands-off. It just does its job. I had to put some salt in it the other day, the first time since we've had it. We had well water before, and it was filtered. This is city water, so we didn't have it filtered, and I could tell the difference in city water taste. It's worth having it health-wise, taste-wise and for cleaning. Back home, we had a lot of calcium. We haven't been here long enough to know what the buildup is. But it is expensive, so if you have discretionary money, it's worth it. Otherwise, it can be expensive for a person who is on a limited income.

We have our own well, and we were getting this orange gunk. Sometimes we were getting an odor with the water. We didn't have any filtration system on it. It was turning our appliances orange, so we wanted something to be done about it. It turns out that it was some kind of bacteria. So, we got that taken care of. The RainSoft system that we got is a lot bigger than the pictures made it look. It's almost twice the size. When the sales guy came, I showed him where I thought about putting it, and I've seen stuff at Home Depot or Lowe's, and he said, "Oh, yeah. It can fit in here." It's a little utility closet that houses our pressure tank for our water system and also our hot water heater. But the system was not going to fit in there. It's too big and too permanent.
We got the big damn water softener system. When you do that with soft and hard water, you end up with slippery skin every time you bathe, and that's no fun, when you're used to having that squeaky clean feel. But by and large, we've enjoyed it. Though I'm not too pleased that we have the wrong board on one of these units. So, it's been giving us stinky water. We had a tech come out, and he made some adjustments. We were happy about that because the stinks went away. He was very kind and courteous, and was here just briefly and then on his way. Other than that, everything was quite satisfactory. The sales guy was very good. He kept trying to sell us on the system, and we told him from the outset, "Look, we're going to buy the system." He kept trying to demonstrate. But we said, "We don't care. We already know." So, that was kind of fun. We had a good time talking to him.
RainSoft got the installation done in one day. I was here when the techs came and installed it, and they were very, very professional and courteous. The only thing that we noticed is that the water does have a distinct taste that it didn't have before we got the system installed. Even though we got one of these reverse osmosis filters at the kitchen sink, we both tend to get water from the refrigerator, because that has a filter it runs through, and it moderates that taste. That's the deal there. If you're going to spend upwards of $10,000, you would expect the company you're paying to get it right the first time. Overall, we are satisfied with what we've got from RainSoft, and we're happy with the experience, even though I wish their water would taste better in my estimation. RainSoft is a good company and system. If you're looking at putting in a whole house filtration system, I'd definitely recommend RainSoft.

Do not do not do not do not even let these people step foot into your home. I bought appliances from Home Depot and as a result, they send these people out to your house so I entertained the idea of having the salesman come and give his pitch. Honestly, he was a great sales guy. Probably could’ve sold me a lot of garbage and that’s exactly what he did. For more than what I paid for my first car, they sold me a system that was going to improve the quality of air and water and life for me and my children. What they really sold me is an endless headache and a heap of garbage.
They messed up my air-conditioning unit and I had to have that repaired. They messed up the installation and damage my kitchen island when water leaked all over the place. The attachments outside were not properly fixed and have sprung loose several times creating an erosion issue in my backyard on one occasion where I was gone for three days. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to buy the system ever. The technicians were horrible. The salesperson sold you, Gold, but gave you a turd and the service on it afterwards is ridiculous. It’s like they’ve set it up to fail. I warn everyone, please please please please do not do not do not do not allow these people in your own. Do not allow them to touch anything. My house is brand new and I’ve done nothing but repairs as a result of this installation.

The young man from RainSoft who came to the house was very pleasant. We enjoyed the meeting. It was a very good presentation. The installation didn't take long. The guy was in and out in a very short period of time. It was pretty pricey, but we've been very happy with the quality of the water, which was very important to us because for several years, we've been using a ZeroWater pitcher. And the filters that we had to put in sometimes didn't work, and sometimes they leaked, and sometimes there was a problem with one kind or another. The quality of the water, when they were working, was pretty good for a while, until they started getting stopped up with stuff.
And the water quality that is coming out of our faucet, in other words, the city water, I didn't like the taste of it all, and that's when we started using the water pitchers. We did that for several years and got to the point where it was not easy to even find the filters. This RainSoft thing was a real blessing. We've been happy with it.

The alkalinity of our water was bad. There were a lot of minerals in there. We had a filter for our refrigerator, but that wasn't doing the job 100%. After the rep at Home Depot showed us what the RainSoft unit would do, it was something we wanted to have. Now that we have the system, our water is great on dishes and laundry soaps. It also makes coffee taste a lot better. The unit is very efficient for what it is.

We saw the advert for RainSoft in Home Depot, and we decided to give it a try. So far, it's been good. We just had normal water before, but now we have treated water in the house and it’s soft. Before the system, the water was harsh. I’d recommend RainSoft as one of the best water treatments ever.

I had thought about getting RainSoft when I knew a few friends who had either the RainSoft system or another system, and they had told me about it. And I did the consultation and it just made sense as far as what I was spending on water and getting the system. When I first drank the water after the system was installed and I did flushing, I don't think I flushed the system out enough in the refrigerator because it had a strong salty taste.
But then, when I ran a little more to empty it out, it changed. Now, a few weeks ago, I got some water from the refrigerator, and it had an interesting taste, which surprised me. I was like, "I've had the system since December." So I just poured that out. But then, I also see that the filter on the refrigerator now needs to be replaced. I'm not replacing it because I have the system. But I said, "I need to flush it out again as far as the water and the ice." Now, I will drink it from the faucet because I know I have the system and I feel confident in that. I would get a little more salt in it. I'll have that taste, and I’ll better just pour it out and just get some more. But it's not a regular thing.
I also referred at least two people. One person purchased the system, and the other one had a consultation. And I've had to call them several times as far as my bonus and I haven't received it yet. One woman answered and she has been very nice and has been helping me. She's not in that department, but the person who is supposed to contact me has not contacted me officially yet.
The people that I referred to, when I gave the woman who came, those names are not showing there. But when I type them in, they say they're in the system. Neil, whom I spoke with, is in sales. He was very nice and kind. He got the message because I had to call a couple of times about that with the financing. No one had called me back. Because when they were doing the confirmation of it, and when I said, “They said I don't have to pay until March," and the lady said, “That's going to be a $60 interest." I said, “Nobody told me that. Because he told me I would have a 90-day deferment." She said, “Let's stop here, and I'm going to reach out to them." But I never heard from them.
I followed up twice, and Neil called me. We played phone tag, and then he said, "I'm going to put no interest, no penalty for six months." Then, they called back and followed up and got that taken care of. Now, I'm dealing with the bonuses. So when Antoinette spoke to me last week, she said whoever was supposed to call me said they had one check in the system. But I haven't received anything. That's very unprofessional. I know a lot of people. And if I say something, people pretty much go with my word because that's how I move. So I'm just not pleased with that.
Overall, my experience was cool. The guy who came out was good. Did what he was supposed to do as far as the service. There was some miscommunication, though. Because when they came to install it the next day, I told them to come at a certain time. I work from home. They came an hour early. So I came to the door, and I told them I'm working and I'm not available for another hour, and I'm at lunch.
I had to take time to go to the door to answer them, and they said that they were never told to come at that time. But they were nice. They waited, they installed. He told me what I needed to do. I even offered them some bottled water. It was three of them. Then, when the lady came, she told me that she didn't see the 90-day thing. I told her, "Y'all are about to take this whole system out of here. Because this is the second hiccup in less than a week." And she said, "I just went in and I looked it up, and I see that he did put it in there." I'm not interested in those types of things.

Our water had a lot of chlorine in it, and we wanted to have a better water system. RainSoft did a presentation and did a water test. It wasn’t great, so we purchased a water system from them. Now, the water’s softer. I would encourage others to get it as well. But the only complaint I have is that in some parts of our house, the water pressure was greatly reduced, and I wasn't expecting that.

We have a RainSoft water softener. The installation was great and having the system is better for our condition. I'd recommend it. The water tastes good and it's soft. I have had guests at my house, and they've seen the difference in taking a shower.

I had RainSoft put in a whole house water softer, a reverse osmosis filter in the kitchen and a clean start laundry system. It’s been 2 weeks and we are loving it. Now grant it, it was $11,288 for all of it, including install and plumbing permit here in Chula Vista, CA. Overall, our experience has been quite nice. It started with leaving Home Depot, and seeing one of those, “test your water kits,“ by the exit door. I took one, mailed off my free water sample for my kitchen, and within a week I got a phone call. While my water was not technically illegal, it was borderline. The amount of contaminants in the municipality water was actually quite disgusting. A representative by the name Kenny ** from Resoft came out to the house, showed me a nice demonstration and we signed the paperwork right then & there. Rainsoft also has a zero interest, zero payment program for 12 months. So I took advantage of that.
The system is easy to use, complete with mobile app, it shows me everything that’s going on with the system. And the nice thing, you never have to replace anything other than the reverse osmosis filters in the kitchen. Everything else is lifetime guaranteed. This is the first water softener system that I have heard of on the market today that does not ever require replacement of the resin. I was a little skeptical about that, so I called my trusted plumber. He actually said yeah, there’s new technology out there. RainSoft even gave us tons of soap!! Holy smokes! We still use our regular soap until that’s gone but we’ll use what they gave us for sure! So needless to say, we are very happy with our purchase. Hope that helps. Take care guys! Refer me

We were shopping at Home Depot when we encountered RainSoft and we ended up purchasing what they offered. We got the water system and the reverse osmosis. The installation went fine and since then, we use the system to wash our hands. We can tell that the waters seems softer. All in all, we haven't used RainSoft much at all, but what we have experienced has been fine. i would also tell my friends that they might want to consider getting RainSoft as well.

We were approached by RainSoft in Home Depot and then they sent a person out to the house and showed us the condition of our water. He sold us a system. I got two tanks outside and it has water inside. We have three tanks outside. We noticed that the water is softer now. The dishes from the dishwasher come out very spotless with soft water. We have less issues of calcium buildup on the glass shower door. It rinses soap off of your hands and body faster than the hard water did. RainSoft is a good system.

The salesman seemed very honest and upfront. He was very thorough on explaining everything, how things worked and what it would take to get put in. He showed us several different options as well. I purchased the reverse osmosis system and the installation was very quick. The guy that did the installation was very informative. He explained everything he was doing. Having the RainSoft system, I enjoy the water a lot better.
