The water that we used to drink looked ugly, and terrible. My daughter used to have some allergy on the body every single time. Now that we have RainSoft, it's under control. The soap that they gave me is good. The guy that came to our home explained everything very clearly so that we would understand very well. Everything was fine with him. We bought the one for the air condition, the sensor water, and the filter. I like RainSoft. It's working fine with us.

We gave the RainSoft sales representative a call and we set a time. He showed up when he was supposed to and had very good information. He very knowledgeable and courteous. We got a whole house system from them with the lifetime warranty. Thereafter, their installers did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. When they didn’t have the stuff they needed, they picked it up. It took a little longer than I expected, but, other than that, I’m glad it was done right. Though the build-up is as it was before, our water has been softer since having the system installed.

The RainSoft representative that came out appeared to be very good and showed us a difference in the water, what it contained, the city water, what needed changes, and what could be done to purify it. She was very informative, very thorough, and was very thoughtful. The installers who came thereafter were good but they had a problem because of where the water line has to come in. Other than that, everybody did a great job. The water and its taste seem better after the installation of their system. RainSoft is expensive but I would recommend it.

There was so much of something in our tap water and it smelled really strong of some odor. I looked more into it and decided to get the RainSoft system. The sales rep came out, explained everything to me and did the water test. After I made the decision to buy, he called up and made sure everything was all good and I was happy with everything. He also gave me his number so I could give him a call if I had any issues so that was good.
There has been a big difference as far as the water goes. But I didn't realize it until the rep did the test and even the benefits such as the taste of the water and saving money for washing stuff. Our skin is not drying up anymore and we're able to drink the water. Also, we've not needed to use the products that we use for laundry and washing that much as we did.

First the sales rep, Robert, reminded me of the old time snake oil salesman. Great showman and charming about everything. Not sure about finding what chemicals were actually in our water that was harmful. By law he could not tell us. No doubt though we have deposits on our dishes that was proven by him and his bag of chemicals in his demo. Don’t know if a chemist would agree everything he did in demo to show harsh chemicals in our water. We may find that dishes are cleaner, clothes are brighter and skin is less dried out but for over $9100. It was a bit much for the total system, including an air purifier. My wife is smarter than me I guess.
All the hardware and free installation could not add up to more than a few thousand at best. Somebody is making money. Although cost of filters down the line was mentioned by the sales rep - he said he had not had to change his osmosis sink filter for ten years. I’m not sure he even has a system in his home. My suggestion is get some bids from as many companies as possible. Then if you want a system you can be well aware of what each system consist of and it’s cost. We’ll see how well the installation went and if anything blows up or leaks. Stay tuned!

At a home show, I signed up to have someone come and do a water testing. The result prompted me to go forward with RainSoft. The salesperson whom I worked with wasn't pushy and I appreciated that. Although there were things that he didn’t know answers to, he was right on the phone to just call somebody who could find the answers.
It's kind of foolish that the installation team came the distance and they only had one set to install, and it didn’t match the rest of my sink. The rest of my sink was all chrome. They didn't know what to bring but then the installer put it anyway. But it was a wasted trip cause even though it was beautiful, I didn’t wanna keep it since it looked odd to not match the rest of the sink. They had to come back and bring back a chrome one to reinstall. Still, that helped because the first guy couldn't answer fully all of my questions. The second guy who came back to install was more knowledgeable, did a good job to reinstall, and fixed a couple things differently. So I was happier with the second installation. Overall, while I feel better knowing that I'm getting cleaner water, it would have been nice to have known some information like the cost of maintenance before installation.

My son and his wife got Rainsoft and put us down as a referral. They liked theirs, and we decided we would go ahead and get one. Rainsoft's rep was very a professional and nice fellow. He came and did a very good job explaining it all to us. He answered all our questions, did a water test, and had pretty well sold us on how bad our water looked. He used whatever the chemicals were in his little bottle, and tested it right out of our tap, and then put the RainSoft filter thing on it, tested it, and then also tested it out of the refrigerator that is filtered, which was better than out of the tap, but still not too good. He was here for half a day and also seemed to do an excellent job installing it. We now have the whole house system plus the countertop by the sink. The water tastes and feels a lot better. The soap suds a lot better in the shower too, so we like it a lot.

It's been around 3 years I've had the system and to this day I'm glad for having it. The service from day 1 has been great. Water feels and tastes great. I've always had a great after-sale customer service experience over the years whenever I've had to get back in touch with the gentleman who demoed it to us the first day to clarify questions. He's been courteous and prompt to answer questions and help, which I've always appreciated. Overall, glad to have made this decision.

We’re on well water and I kept seeing hard water build-up at my home. We got the system from RainSoft and it was one of the top of the line stuff. Their sales representative took his time and thoroughly explained it to us. It felt like I was getting this ho-hum thing but he showed the demonstration as far as our water. Then their installation team put the system for us and it goes to our well. Those two young guys were great and very knowledgeable of the system. I'm in Tallahassee and they came all the way from Orlando to get it installed because Tallahassee didn’t have anybody to do it.
I gave them names for people that I referred and gave my sister’s name. Someone contacted us, but somehow, the lady would not call me back down in the Orlando office. But she was digging around and found my daughter-in-law’s number which I did not give. She called my daughter-in-law, said that she was trying to get a hold of Donna and was trying to get her to go to Home Depot. I called their corporate office to let her know that’s harassment. The rep is not calling me back. I’m pissed at that because they’re harassing people on my referrals. My sister’s not answering her phone as I gave the lady a legit number for my sister and that’s the part that I can’t get settled. Other than that, I love the RainSoft system. We have purer and cleaner water, and I noticed even my sinks look clean all the time.

When I purchased the RainSoft system, I'm about to tear out and replace, it was my first water softener and I didn't know any better. The system was overpriced and never worked right consistently. 1 and 1/2 years ago, when it stopped working for the umpteenth time (average life after a repair roughly 6-9 mo.) I was convinced by the serviceman to spend over $500 on a new digital head to replace my old analog head. He assured me my problems were over and told me the part had a 5 year warranty, parts and labor. Well of course it broke again.
Meanwhile the local contractor for RainSoft had changed hands again. When I called I was told they were not honoring the last subcontractor's warranties. I refuse to pay them to fix this piece of junk again. I'm shopping around now and in week or two the system goes to the dump and I get a new one NOT A RAINSOFT. Live and learn or learn from reading this, your choice. I lost, but you can avoid the same.

The Rainsoft testing person was very nice but the data he presented was false. I have a University level education in Human Physiology and Chemistry. I also ran swimming pools for a living. The calculations for the funds I spend each month without the Rainsoft system are drastically inflated according to my own spreadsheet showing actual expenditures. The test where he said my skin absorbed the chlorine from the water was false. The chlorine was not absorbed by my skin in the three seconds allowed in this test. Absorption takes longer than the 3 seconds this test took. Instead the chlorine was chemically altered by the salt creating Sodium Chloride and any contaminants that are inherent on everyone's skin.
Also the light from my LED lights which is 5500 Kelvin causes a chemical change in Chlorine also attributing to the depletion of the chlorine in the test water. He did not test the filtered water in my Kitchen sink either. The reality is that with the actual expenditures the payback on this expensive system is more than a decade. The customer is led to believe the chemicals used to test for solids and other contaminants are real without any proof at all. The entire demonstration is done by the company selling the product instead of an independent testing company. This is a conflict of interests. Many systems are less expensive and do just as well in removing solids, organic contaminants, chemical contaminants and softening water. This demonstration was misleading and the system is very overpriced.

I happened to be in Home Depot one day and a gal had me do a little survey. Someone called me and we had RainSoft reps come out. they were awesome. They had a great presentation. The man was really nice and went through everything with us. He probably didn’t even have to do it because we knew what we wanted to do, but it was very interesting. They explained everything and we had the water testing. We thought we knew a little bit about what it was gonna be but it was like another level. We were going to do something about our water anyway and it so happened that RainSoft called us.
We did the reverse osmosis with the water and I just feel better knowing that my grandkids who I take care of are getting clean water. The installer was great too. He came out and it took him around three hours. He was in and out of here. The faucet for the filtered water, however, didn’t match what we had in the house so he gave me a number to call so that we could get a faucet that matched. But what they brought out was really shiny and we just didn’t do the shiny stuff in the house. And so, they came back out.
We were able to order a different kind and they came back out and reinstalled a different faucet so that it kinda matches, which is nice. They explained everything and we were told to call if we had any questions. We haven't had any problems, but we got a couple of calls from them to make sure that everything was okay. We like RainSoft and we’ve told people like my daughter and her husband about it. It’s expensive but it’s worth it for us.

Our water was awfully soft that we could not take the soap off when we took showers. It also had particles floating and it had a sulfur smell from the iron deposits. We had submitted a water test kit through Home Depot and about a year later, they responded to it. RainSoft asked if I was interested and I told them yes. By the next day, they were here. Their reps were very professional and I couldn’t ask for better people to work with. I’m a biologist and I felt that they knew what they were talking about and knew about the proper test to do to the water.
I purchased the whole house system and the people who installed it were hilarious. They were very personable and nice guys. They went through everything with me and then they also did the filtration system underneath the sink. That took about an hour and a half just to run it through the process. But they stayed here with me to run it through one process and let it stay there. It took about four hours for everything to get done. They spent as much as time as they needed to and they didn’t seem to hurry. Plus, they made sure all my questions were answered before they left. We had to have a drinking fountain put into our sink just for drinking and cooking because the water was that bad. It’s a filter underneath the sink and there’s a big filter outside by my well. We still have the soft water but not a whole bunch can be done about that. The water is clear now though and it tastes good. There are no particles floating in it and the smell is gone.
They had to come back out one time though because there was a little stain in the water. They did some adjustments on the filter outside and told me to wait about a month and that if it doesn’t improve to call them back. It has gotten a little better but I need to call them back because it still has a little stain to it. But the RainSoft people were very good. When I called the guy on a Friday, he said he’d be here on Monday and he was here around the time he said he’d be here. I’m completely satisfied with them. They did what they said they’re gonna do and so far, every time I have a problem, they’ve rectified it. I would tell people to schedule a consultation with RainSoft.

We had some people knocking on the door telling us they were with the water company and they were trying to sell me something. They came in and checked the water and they said that it had all these chemicals and stuff in it. I also got a water test from RainSoft to confirm that and from the water company saying that it was not safe to drink. The salesman from RainSoft was a good guy and he knew more than most. I got the whole house system with the outside water from them. The installation team was super cool and they did a great job. They searched around for stuff and there was even a big old wasp nest out there that my girl was afraid of and he sprayed it down for us. Since then, the water tastes better and I’m happy with RainSoft.

One time, we were in Home Depot and they had a person walking in the store asking people if they would be interested in a water hardness test. We've had concerns with our water since we moved in which included issues in water hardness and the amount of impurities in the groundwater system we're on so we went for it. Working with the RainSoft salesman who came to our home was fun. We were able to converse and interact with him. We exchanged ideas and told him information he wasn't aware of. Thereafter, their installation team came in and did their job. We had questions while they were installing and they answered those. They explained things as they were going through. Since getting the RainSoft system, we've noticed a difference in the way our water tastes as well as how we feel after we shower. We've also noticed differences in our clothing after we wash them. Overall, it has been a good experience with RainSoft.

The Rainsoft reps came to our door and their demonstration impressed us big time. They got test bottles and a little machine. It was like a miniature water system for your home and one rep ran through that plus she checked our water. The water here in San Antonio is worse than we thought it was. We always use bottled water and washing takes one ounce of detergent. Thereafter, we got the softener system, the reverse osmosis for the kitchen sink, and the oxidation thing for the laundry washer. We have a hot tub which feels and looks so good now.
I have a water fountain on the front yard and the installer said that it was not gonna be part of the system, but it turned out it was. Before, I had to clean it with the pressure washer, but now, it cleaned it right up and it's down to the original material of the fountain itself. Everything was impressive. We don’t have to buy bottled water anymore and we use a lot less detergent. We use the system for cooking, our tea, and our coffee. We usually use the reverse osmosis with the coffee and tea because that's about as good as water can get.
The sales rep was fantastic. We felt like we got a new friend. She sent us a card with a fantastic picture of the house, which surprised us. She's super friendly and personable. I also had good interactions with their installation crew. I asked questions and he explained what was going on. He gave me a rundown of how everything worked and what I needed to do periodically. For the first five years, they took care of the system except for one filter. After a year, I had to change it out myself. Other than that, it has been great and I had no complaints whatsoever.
I've talked to several people about Rainsoft and I'm kinda surprised myself. $8,000 for a water softener system is kinda steep and most of them don’t wanna spend that kind of money, but, in the long run, it will pay for itself. Besides the system itself, we also got five years' worth of detergent. There were several things that replaced the chemicals and cleaning stuff that we were using that we no longer have to get. For instance, though we don’t need to use a laundry softener, we still do because we like the smell. The rep said that was optional for clean clothes. Nevertheless, Rainsoft has impacted our lives positively and we love it.

I had an excellent interaction with their rep. He knew the product inside and out. He was very personable and got the whole family involved. I got their salt system and it was like two cylinders in my garage. I had a 5-star experience with their installer. He installed the very next day which was on a Sunday. With the RainSoft system, the water rolls off of me. My skin is not as dry. My dishes are cleaner and there are no spots on anything.

We knew we were going to need something for the house we just bought. The whole area had flooded when Hurricane Harvey came through and we didn't trust the water supply completely. I filled out a survey questionnaire at Home Depot and RainSoft contacted me within a week to set up an appointment. Their rep came out and he was very polite and professional. He went through the whole process and we filled out the paperwork. He knew what he was talking about and he obviously enjoyed what he was doing.
We purchased a whole home system from RainSoft with a reverse osmosis feature for drinking water and a special tap just for that. Thereafter, their installation team came out and put in the system. It was convenient and they worked with me. They came out when I told them it would be a good time to come out to do the install. However, it took them a little while to get the WiFi thing set up so we could monitor our system. Still, things have been like what RainSoft's rep told me. He said that our water was gonna go cleaner and everything we did would be cleaner as well, like the dishes coming out of the dishwasher. He also said that our showers would feel different and all that stuff has worked out to be exactly like that. RainSoft's system is a great product. Other people should look into it.

The house that I bought is in pristine condition but my filtered water system was not working properly. I had an issue with that so I needed to find an alternative because I have an illness that causes me to have to have purified water. I wanted to make sure that I could use the water system in my house. The RainSoft product is really good. Their reps provided excellent service and I was glad that they were very respectful of my house. They had to dig a trench under my sidewalk but when they finished, I couldn't even tell that they had dug the trench. They did a beautiful job. That really impressed me. Also, I have white carpet and the guys took their shoes off. As far as the installation, it was perfect. I love what they did.
I have OCD and my foremost focus is always on things being super clean. The first thing I noticed with RainSoft was my laundry and how the system works so much better as far as the water being softer. It cleans better too and I don’t have to use as much of the products that I use to clean. I really like the system and I'm very pleased. It's really worth it. Make the investment with RainSoft because, for one, it'll add to your property's value.

We wanted to fit in a whole house water softener system, but we couldn't figure out how to easily do it on our own ‘cause our water main is in the front of the house. Home Depot called us up because we had just bought a new high-efficiency washer/dryer, and they set up the sales call with RainSoft. The sales rep was very nice and we had a really good time when he came over. He did the water demonstration but we already knew a lot about it because we’d done some research, so it went really fast. He was also very easy to work with. It was a great experience for something that we didn’t expect to do right then.
The installation went really well too. The two RainSoft installers that came were super nice, and they had to do a lot of extra work to build the trench to put the tanks in. They had to come out a couple of times to get it all done. But the thing that my husband liked most was the way the piping was done so perfectly. He loved the job they did and he talks about it all the time. With the system, I don’t have to always use a squeegee and try to wipe spots off of the glass. I also notice that my hair has a different feel and I don’t have to use the conditioner that I used to use before. Plus I haven't had the allergy problems that I’m used to having when the heater starts kicking in, so that’s been exciting.

When we bought our house, RainSoft came and tested the water. I signed the contract on a Saturday and they did the installation on Monday. RainSoft followed up a couple of times, and came back and tested, and made sure that we were all happy and that the system was working correctly. Since we got the system, you can't smell the chlorine in the water, and the water is soft. Laundry is easier and there are no hard water stains. The system takes all the negative stuff out of the water. Once you use RainSoft and have access to the setup at your home, you'll have one forever because it's that good.

BEWARE. The system does improve our water but the cost is not realistic. We paid over $10,000 for a whole house system. The company financing the system put a lien on our house which caused me extra work when I refinanced our mortgage. The first year the filters cost $110. The second year was $250. Now, not only am I paying $179 per month, but it will cost me $450 to replace the filters this year. How much is it going to cost next year? I wish I had never purchased this system. Buyer beware - you need deep pockets to use and drink Rainsoft water.

I grew up in a different town and when I moved to a town that has crappy water quality, I could tell there was a difference. I didn’t like it. Then when we had the initial consultation with RainSoft, the pitch that they had was really eye-opening. I know they have their own agenda to sell stuff but I enjoyed that experience. They were really knowledgeable.
Since our house is really old, we decided on getting everything. We got the water softener purifier system for the whole house, the one for the kitchen right under the sink and then the air purifier. The installation was really painless. It only took them about an hour and now, it’s a lot nicer when I take showers. It doesn’t leave my skin as dry and I have sensitive skin. I had no idea the water was that big of an issue. The taste of coffee is way better too. That’s worth the system’s weight in gold right there. So we’re enjoying our RainSoft experience so far.

The product was pricey, but we know it’s worth it and we love it. My husband has a bacteria, his situation was in his stomach. He got much better with the product so now he's all better. I’m happy with it. We’ve been with RainSoft for a couple of months, and it has helped the water in the house. We feel more confident and I know it would help with the health of my husband and also my child, who is autistic as he needs fresh water too. I already recommended RainSoft to friends and people already came to their houses to do the water testing.

I researched on water treatment systems for healthier drinking water. We had somebody at Home Depot ask us if we’d be willing to have somebody come to our house for a consultation regarding RainSoft. And then we heard from somebody later on setting up the time for the salesperson to come in. The consultation went very well. There were no surprises and the sales rep did a nice job. He was easy to work with. The installation team was also excellent. They came out and did everything very quickly, very thoroughly and explained things. Since the installation of the water softener system I noticed the water is softer when I'm washing, bathing and showering. I also have more peace of mind knowing I'm drinking better water. I have a very good experience with RainSoft and I’m glad we did it.

The previous homeowner had a RainSoft system in the house, but they took it when they left. Then, the person at Home Depot said they would come out and do a free water test. So, we signed up and let them come to the house. They came and showed us how much crap was in our water and I didn't want to drink that. The sales guy's name was Bryan. He was nice and very professional. He came in and showed us the test and talked about the system.
The installation of the system was a little troubling because after we had the sales guy come out, I didn’t realize that one of the gaskets from my kitchen sink faucet had fallen into the garbage disposal. Therefore, my kitchen sink started leaking regularly. Also, the first time they set it up the drain hose for the RO system wasn’t plumbed properly. We talked to them about the issue and they tried to fix it with a bunch of different washers to see if they can get it to quit leaking from the kitchen sink faucet. They did reroute the RO water, which was fine, and we didn’t have any problems with that leaking again. The kitchen sink quit leaking, but the next day, it was leaking again. So they told us that if they couldn't find a replacement for it, then they would get me a new faucet, which was what they ended up doing.
The people at RainSoft are responsive, and we haven't had any issues with everything they’ve done so far. The water is definitely softer since we had the RainSoft system. You have that silky smooth feeling after a shower. However, I would notice that we have to clean the toilets more often because of the build-up of mildew. It also happens in our dishwasher. So we had them come out to check that and the guy told me that once I start smelling sulfur, that means they need to come out and clean all the lines in the house with bleach because the system has taken all the chlorine out.

We had moved into a new neighborhood and the neighbors mentioned hard water. Then we got RainSoft's whole home water softener and filtration system. When the sales guy spoke with us, it was late at night so that was a bit annoying. But it was definitely informative and professional. He was polite and he answered all of our questions. The installation team was also professional and polite. They knew what they were doing. They made sure the timing was good and that all our questions were answered. They didn’t interrupt us and they cleaned up after they were finished. The water is much nicer now. We notice the difference even when we travel and go out to a hotel. When we come back, the water is amazing.

I would recommend RainSoft to anybody with hard water. The water that we had was very hard and not very tasty. But we got the under-the-sink water filter system then the outdoor product, which was like $7,500. And now, the water tastes better. Our soap also goes further because the water isn’t so hard. So overall, we have better water quality. In fact, I've got three family members with eczema and we haven’t had a significant outbreak since the installation of the system. The sales rep was legit and on point too. He was great. Then the installation team that came in also knew what to do. They were flexible with my requests and got the job done.

I grew up in Arizona and I know the water quality is not very good if you don’t have a water treatment system. There was one setup in the garage, but it was not hooked up and it was very out-of-date. I called the company’s phone number on it and they said it hadn't been serviced in a lot of years and they doubt that it would be wise to hook it up. So, I was looking for an option to take care of that. I submitted a sample of water through Home Depot and RainSoft asked if I could have someone come by the house to do a demonstration about water quality. The RainSoft representative who came was very nice, very knowledgeable about the product and put it in easy to understand terms. He really put us at ease and helped to answer our questions.
Everything has gone smoothly with the installation. After that, I noticed a difference in the taste of the water. Before, I didn’t usually drink water from my house. Now, I’m bringing it with me every day to work. And in cleaning things, it’s made our silverware and cups look so much newer and cleaner. It has been great for bathing as well. It has been easier on our kids’ skin because they have some eczema and dry skin issues. We’ve all been doing better not having to use as much soap. I’ve tried to recommend them to some family and friends in the area.

We live close to the water so there was a bad taste to it, as well as a salt intrusion. RainSoft reps came out, did a survey and made a written proposal to me, which I was happy with and able to evaluate. They were responsive to my query and they were able to answer all my questions. The sales rep was knowledgeable and he was willing to work with us in the installation as far as time was concerned. The installation went extremely well and it went very quickly. The installers knew what they were doing. And so, it was a good experience. They came back and checked with me a couple weeks after and answered questions that I had.
It’s been about three months now since we've had the system installed. Since then, the water taste is very good. There’s no distasteful aspect to the water. It is very soft, so in terms of using it for washing, laundry and so forth, it is very satisfactory. Others would need to have the kind of dialogue I had in terms of interview and have them do a survey before making any commitment. So far, we’re very happy with our RainSoft filter system.

There is nothing wrong with the product itself. It does what they say it is supposed to do. My problem is that the sales guy, he flat out lied to me and my wife. He said the only maintenance would be to replace the filters under the sink every year which would be around $100. And that's it. LIE!!! After the first year, I had to pay $250 for filters and a so-called "Tune-up". Okay, a little pricey but the technician said the filter he installed would last 3 years instead of 1. LIE!!! Year# 2 I get a call from Rainsoft, "Hey it's time to get your filters replaced and have another tune-up." "What, I was told it would be 3 years?" "Oh, that was for a different filter. This time it will be $400 for the center filter and tank tune-up." **... For a system that costs over $10,000 I feel I was duped and well over-paid. Like I said it works, but so does bottled water. And a heck of a lot cheaper.

The water quality here in Thornton is really bad. It is very hard and there are so many minerals in it. I could almost chew on it. The sprinkler system was staining my cedar fence which has white stains from all the minerals in it. One of the RainSoft guys came by my house and tested my water. That led to getting a system put in. Since I got the RainSoft, there has only been a bit of residue. We've had the system for about four months now and I like it.
I just did a re-generation on it the other day. It cleans the tank, but I didn’t realize that it uses up so much salt when I do that. It used about 10 pounds. However, it does so automatically and I want to do it manually and to see how it did that. The system is working well and I’m happy with it. I haven’t had any issues with it. I had some leaking out in the garage with it, but I just tightened up the fittings and it stopped leaking.
Last month however, I had to reset the clock on the computer in the control part. It didn’t reset automatically and it was an hour off. Still, I’m enjoying the system and it has worked well for me so far. I also get the soap for free. RainSoft is pricey but they're very sophisticated now. They’re all computerized, so I understand why they cost what they do. It’s over $7000, but I will tell my friends to get one if they can afford it.

A guy from RainSoft came out and explained everything to us. He was decent, nice and informative and it was a good experience. It was interesting to hear about their product and showing us the results of their testing and what the water looked like coming out of the house after going through a filtering system. We purchased their product and we've been really satisfied with it.
The installer came and had the system done in no time. I went out there and he explained to me the system, how to turn it on, the floor, and everything else. He told me there would be somebody else coming in to do the final thing, and that somebody came in the next day. He was good and the experience was satisfactory. We have had the system since July and since then, our water tastes better. We can tell ‘cause we’ve been without a filtering system like that for years and there is a big difference.

I've had the RainSoft system for about a month and a half. When I was referred by JCPenney to them after I registered for a prize at the door, we were interested in the checkup and the demonstration and I was sucked in into it. The presentation took about 45 minutes. It was interesting how the water softeners clean the water filth, and the difference in the dishwasher, even the taste of the water after it was cleaned. The technician was very informative and knowledgeable. He went through the whole process. Also, the installers were awesome. They came up here and wrapped everything up in about three hours.
Everything has been running smoothly so far. However, looking at my interest rate and balance, they're outrageous. I’m paying 105, and my balance interest is already 60 dollars, so it’s only $40 toward my principal. Also, before I made my first payment in November, they're already charging me interest. Other than that, the quality of the water is good. You can tell when you take a shower and use the product with it. We're also not buying bottled water anymore. The water we have has a good taste in it. Rainsoft is a good system. It works and I would recommend it to any of my friends.

Two guys came to install the system over the weekend and they did a great job and as soon as it was installed, there is a world of a difference. We are using less lotion for our hands when we used to have dry skin. Also, the shower heads and tiles have been much easier to clean and have been less messy.
RainSoft works awesome and it is affecting everything. However, I am having trouble setting up the system on Wi-Fi. I have not been able to connect with my phone so, I would call and their guys could help me walk me through. The system has been in our home for about two months and it was mentioned to me that somebody could come back and test our water after the system has been installed and working for a while, to check the improvement and the quality of water.

The water in our area is very hard so it was ruining clothing and leaving spots on everything. We had to get a system to be sure. I got my first RainSoft system in 1987 and I’ve been working with Phil for quite a number of years. He explained everything to me and he explains things clearly. He takes his time, checks back and confirms appointments. He had also always been the one who came out when our old system broke down or was having some problems. He does a really nice job with the customers. He does all the things that you would want somebody to do.
When the other system needed to be replaced, it actually flooded the basement. We had saltwater all over the basement and it was horrible. But it was clean water. We bought a water softener and Phil installed the whole thing himself. He came when he said he was gonna come and he took the amount of time that he said he was gonna take. He explained everything to me about how the system operates and what the follow up would be. It went very smoothly. I’m not running out of salt now and the water’s much more consistently soft. With the old system, it seemed that we went through a lot of salt in a short amount of time. I was also happy to see some of the improvements that RainSoft made in the system. Updating it over the 30-year period that I had the old one to this new one, I expected them to do a lot of updates but this one seems to be working fine. I’m happy with the new features.

I have to say I'm impressed that this company sincerely cares about customer satisfaction. It's one of the traits of a good company. After doing some research their unit is amoung a lower price range than some I've heard are as much as $15,000 for a unit to purify well water (boyfriend's sister)!. Also after further clarification the parts are waranteed but not maintainence. I understand most things require maintainence which is why I was so taken with a unit that didn't require any. Shame on the salesman again, but I should've known better. Again, always get things in writing but as for the company they will definitely stand behind their product. You can always talk to them direct for questions. They will take the time to explain their products and the knowledge they have of the industry. I appreciate that greatly. Will update you on the products after I get ingredients list . Which they are happily going to produce. True it saves you money but dish soap seems a little weak. Not sure if I agree that you wont' need conditioner any more but after knowing what's in most conditioners, you'll be glad you're not putting that in your hair or down your drains . Try a little shea butter instead. :

Salesman can promise anything. But unless you get it in writing, it doesn't mean a hill of beans. They're so far good on their products that come with it. But I'm not sold on the quality. And there is no ingredients list for any of them. After about a month and scale buildup, they tell me I need an additional unit: the softener. Which is what I believed would solve all these issues. $3500 I had already paid. After talking with the owner he was willing to put in a softener free of charge. Thank you! However after a year, an alarm goes off telling you to call the number and set up an appt for "fixing" it. Was charged $105 to do "yearly maintenance" which was not discussed or made known of upon purchase.

We had extremely hard water. It was on the shower heads and we had to brush it off almost weekly. There were rings in the toilet almost overnight. I bought a water meter and our water was a 534, which was very close to undrinkable. I was in Home Depot looking for a water purifier, but they didn’t have the ones that I wanted on the floor. They said the only way to get those was to sign up and have someone come out. I didn’t want a salesman to come to the house, but after he did and showed us where our water was, it was a worthwhile visit. He wasn’t high pressure. He just went about his business, showed us where the water was, and showed us a couple of examples. We’d already done our shopping and he presented the price very quickly. I told him it was well out of bounds, it was more than we were willing to spend, but they were willing to negotiate and he got it right where I wanted it to be.
We purchased the biggest RainSoft system that they had and a gentleman came out for the installation. He was knowledgeable and he did a quick job putting it up and explained what he had done. The installation was good, but on the negative side, they gave you the window, around 1:00 to 4:00, but nobody said they would be there at 10:00 or 11:00. Other than that, he did a good job and he was out on time. Our water was a 534, while the Sunny bottled water was a 37. Since installing the system, our water is below what the Sunny bottled water is. It is a 27, which I was really impressed with, and there is softness that it makes us feel on our skin when we shower now, probably using a little less detergent and shampoo.

We had the person from Home Depot test our water quality. It was more of a magic show. We didn't care really. We had just had our first baby and wanted something. They use the "must sign up today for whatever reason" tactic. Product worked. We noticed a difference in our hair when we showered. But we didn't notice a different taste or anything from the reverse osmosis system. Following year, they came out to do the maintenance. It was $250. They changed 3 filters in the RO system.
Following year I declined the maintenance. Tried to find the filters online. They don't sell them and 3rd party ones do not fit. If you call the RainSoft Vendor, it's $160 for 3 filters - DIY. The RO system is bare minimum - 3 stage + mineral add. I bought a top of the line 7 stage RO system with UV light for $250. Filters for all are less than $100 a year. Point is, Rainsoft works.

We bought an older wartime house, so we wanted to test the water and make sure that there was nothing wrong with the pipes.

He made some good points about RainSoft, so we decided to give it a try. He presented all the information in a way that was factual but still entertaining and it didn’t bore us at all. He was very personable and easy to talk to. He is one of those guys that you feel like you’ve known forever. My husband is usually very quiet and lets me do all the talking, but he was making jokes with the consultant. He had a really good personality. He was also really good with our dog, who is normally a bit of a stinker. He calmed her down and there was a point that our dog was sitting on his lap and just relaxed. He was really awesome.
I’m 100% happy with the installation and the people that installed the products were knowledgeable, fast, and really personable. They had contacted me a couple of days before to give me a heads up about when they would be coming and they called me when they were on the route. They worked really well and were efficient. A lot of workers would just leave fast, but they cleaned up after themselves. Also, our basement isn’t exactly the easiest to get into, but they’ve managed to get in and out without a problem and complaints, which I was impressed because I complain when I go to my basement.

My husband and I have been really happy with the RainSoft products. We got the water softener and the reverse osmosis, and they've been working extremely well.

I’m loving the system and I now use fewer body products, especially moisturizers because the water isn’t drying my skin out as much. I also find my hair has been better. I have very curly and frizzy hair and with the softer water, I find that my conditioner can work better and it isn’t being as bad as it normally is.
I’ve been trying to drink the the reverse osmosis water as much as possible and I found I’m getting fewer migraines. When I’m drinking that water with a bit of lemon when I get sick, I feel like I’m getting healthier faster. RainSoft was absolutely amazing and I have zero complaints. I have recommended RainSoft to a couple of friends who have bought houses in the area. I told them to go to Home Depot and get a water test.

It was pretty much done and they warned us that they had turned off power. They also asked us where we wanted the system and how we wanted it to run. Since having the system installed, the water quality as far as washing and that for our shower has been very nice. It feels better on our skin. Every once in a while, I tap the lid and see where the salt stuff is and if I have to buy more. I did an email survey on RainSoft about adding a silver panel in the system that would probably be a good idea. That’s something I’ve known for years and the airline is using it in filtering the air.
However, the financing for the RainSoft system confused us. The salesman said that when we sign up for this, we would get two months with no payments. I thought that was good as we wanted paper statements, not automatic payments. Then somehow, that switched and the rep said they were gonna be pulling this money out of our account. That needs a little help to make that a bit clearer. RainSoft had little glitches here and there but overall, I'm happy with the experience.

This system is amazing. I really can't say enough good things about this system and the company. I opted to go for the water filtration system for the whole house, the drinking water system and the laundry system. Our house has extremely hard water. The measured amount was 27 grains, typical hard water is around 10. Our water was hard enough to completely seized my kitchen faucet which is supposed to swivel 180 degrees but is locked in place by sediment. I've since installed a new faucet and it's been like new ever since.
Greg from RainSoft came out on a Wednesday and I had my new system in place on Thursday. I couldn't be happier with the system. The laundry system is just mind blowing. The first thing I washed was a floor mat that was at the back door and had some seriously heavy dirt stains and I washed it with just water from the system using cold water and it looked and smell brand new. I buy a $20 jug of detergent every 6 weeks or so from Costco and now I'll never buy another one. I've never been so anxious to do laundry, but I'm still amazed how it cleans without detergent.
Greg (Chicago suburbs) our salesman was great too. He explained everything thoroughly and really showed us how bad our water was. We knew our old water was hard but by the end of his demo my wife and I were discussed. I love this system and highly recommend it to anyone with hard water or anyone that doesn't like using harsh chemicals to clean your clothes. They will also remove the system if you ever move and reinstall it in your new home for free.

Awesome response from The local Rainsoft Dealer, all issues resolved to our satisfaction. Johnny is great and very competent in his work. Water test done and filter swap will be done next week. We highly recommend this company.
Original Review: Oct. 10, 2018
Had this system installed 29 May 2018. AT first was pleased, then the issues started. Had Well guys out on unrelated issue, they noticed that the entire Rainsoft system was installed backward, we did notice that our salt container was dwindling down rapidly. Well that was not good, paid well guys to hook it up correctly. Salt usage went down. Thought that we were good now, Surprise!!! Not so.
So I contacted Rainsoft to get a second water test done, our salesman came out and tested and we were told that the PH was all bad, very different than when he first tested. So he showed us a glass container with our cloudy water, yuck, he told us that the PH is destroying the resin filter inside the tank. I asked if this was harmful to us or the pets he replied no. Then he told us that he will exchange the tank for one that will take care of the issue for free. That someone would call us this afternoon or tomorrow to schedule. No call was received.
Then I emailed the office and next thing I know I get a call from a person wanting to come out to discuss options, WHAT? He said he's in our neighborhood today and I say come tomorrow at 11, he said no "I'm in the neighborhood now," really, very pushy and not willing to reschedule. I do not work their schedule. I briefly met with him, and he tells me that my option is to pay another $500 to get the system right. "I am not paying you, your rep told me he would swap out for free and that is acceptable." He says rep was wrong.
I told him he can come and get this entire system out of here and refund my money. Well "there are no refunds," he tells me. I ask for his boss' name and number and no reply. This is a unacceptable situation. Rainsoft is way overpriced and customer service is horrid. I will contact the rest of the homeowners in our neighborhood and let them know what has transpired. Timeline and other correspondence available to Rainsoft HQ upon request. Not happy, would never buy again.

We used to have problem with the water in our house. In fact, we've already lost two dishwashers because of the sedimentation that would clog the pipe. So, we got a RainSoft Water Treatment System. The RainSoft sales rep who came to our house was really good with the way he presented everything and the way he behaved. He explained everything to the best that we could understand it, with no big words and in just plain English. He didn't leave the house until he knew that we understood everything that was gonna happen.
The installation of the system was perfect except for the piece of pipe in the backyard. They're supposed to dig and put it inside the dirt, and they did it but not too deep so it's coming out and it's stopping the flow of the water to go out of my yard. Furthermore, when we open the hose in the backyard, the water that comes out is white and it smells. So we have to keep the hose open until it's clear. We don't have that inside the house, only on that hose.
It's been over a month now since we've had the system. When we clean the head of the faucet, they come cleaner so we don't have to clean them that often. Also, we finally started using the dishwasher that we bought which we weren't able to use before and it works perfectly. And, we didn't have to get a plumber to flush our line. The rep told us before exactly what was gonna happen, and it did. He was very truthful. So, we're very, very pleased. Everything in the system is very good. We were told though that we were gonna get some products but we haven't gotten any. Nonetheless, I'd tell others to to go for RainSoft. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

I grew up with RainSoft in my dad’s house. And after living your entire life with soft water then moving some place that has very hard water, it was kind of a no-brainer for me to also get a RainSoft water softener. I went to Home Depot and signed up for a consultation. They said someone would call me and someone did. Then the sales rep came out and things were pretty straightforward. He knew what he was talking about and he was real nice and very personable. He had to go through the whole spiel, which took an hour and a half and I didn’t really need him to take that long, but I understand that on his end he was required to do it. However, I knew when I had signed up for the thing at Home Depot that I was gonna be purchasing it anyway.
When they did the install, the guy who came out was super nice. He knew what he was talking about and after he was done, it was like he was never there. Everything was great from the salesperson to getting everything done and they did everything super quickly. We signed all the paperwork when the salesman was there and the installer was out the next day. Since having the system installed, my wife said that her skin seems to be a lot more clear now than before and that works for me. Happy wife, happy life. And if anyone asked me about RainSoft, I'd tell them to spend the money and do it.

I live in a city that has had Boron water analysis before for different concerns and issues with the water and so I started to look into water treatment systems. In doing so, I had an exceptional experience with the reps at Rainsoft. The rep whom I dealt with seemed very professional when he came out, showed us the presentation and showed us the differences in water and then what we can have in it. He was very attentive to the presentation. After the consultation, we bought three different systems from RainSoft. Since the system was installed, I don't have that hard water feel when I get out of the shower. We also got an under-sink reverse osmosis system so I've been able to just drink directly out of the faucet using that. It also seems like we use less soap now. Overall, the RainSoft systems that we got have been good.

I purchased a new home and the water that I was using was causing my skin to dry out really bad. I looked into purchasing a treatment system and got a RainSoft conditioning system for my whole home. The sales rep was great, patient, friendly, informative and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and was flexible in finding a time that worked well in getting the system installed. The installation was seamless and installers were on time, very clean and quick.
Since having RainSoft, my skin and my kid’s skin are so much better. I hardly even have to put on lotion when I get off the shower. Also, I can taste that the drinking water is completely different. There was some chemical that was in the water that I can smell when I turn the faucet on and I don’t smell it anymore, so my overall experience is a lot better. I even had a follow up where a guy came over, tested my water and showed me the difference, and having the system installed. He also answered additional questions that I had.

I didn't like the water we had. So, we had a representative from RainSoft come out and give us a talk. He tested the water and showed us how bad it was. That made my decision to go and get a complete household system from them. The rep was extremely cordial and knowledgeable. He explained everything thoroughly. The team who installed the system did a great job. I couldn't have been happier with it.

I'm satisfied with our Rainsoft system. It's a great deal.

We had hard water. We learned about RainSoft in Home Depot and we set up a consultation with their sales rep. There was a problem the first time because RainSoft didn’t follow-up, but the second time, we saw the same individual in Home Depot and they set up the consultation. At that point, it was just a matter of a day or two before the person came out. He was very fine and very professional. We bought the softener and the whole house filter. The installation was very good and the installer explained things very well once he was done. He was really helpful, too. Since we got our RainSoft products, the water is much softer. But they are pricier products, so you really have to be willing to pay more for them.

We put a RainSoft system in into our previous house about eight years ago. When we moved into a new home, we already had it pre-plumbed to accept a water filtration system and the first people we called was Quality Services. Travis, our sales guy, did an extremely good job. We told him we didn't want a sales pitch as we've already had the service. It took him about 20 minutes to walk us to what type of system he would recommend. The installation guy, Mike, installed it on a Sunday. He's a little OCD, so he did a perfect job.
We got the water conditioning tank with the salt pellets then we got a carbon filtration system as well to eliminate the calcium. It made a big difference as we went about a month without having a system in this new house and we were used to having one in our old house, and we could tell right away in our clothes when we showered. We constantly talk them up and already made recommendations, suggestions, and try to get referrals.

Frank, the RainSoft rep who did the water testing in my home was informative and pleasant. He explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. He also addressed how our tap water has a lot of impurities as well as carcinogens. I've had experience with family members with cancer and that was a big one for me. I bought the whole RainSoft system for my house. The installer helped me put in a new faucet since he was taking everything out. He was very neat and organized when he was working in my garage. He had to dig up an area to install the piping underground, and he replaced all the dirt and cleaned it all up. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish it in one day. He had to come back a couple of days later but it was good. I really enjoy the system, and I love the water. I've always kept on hand bottled waters when I go out, but my goal is to eliminate the bottled waters and use my own filtered water. I would recommend RainSoft. It's definitely worth it.

Houses don't come with drinkable water and our water was not drinkable just based on the way it looks and smells. The sales rep talked to my boyfriend about the RainSoft system and he checked with me. He said that it would be good for me. We bought the whole thing and the installation experience was good. Since we got the system, the showers are different. My skin feels softer and now I don't have to spend on buying water bottles anymore. However, the water still smells funky like egg yolk at certain times. Other than that, we add salt to the machine and then the RainSoft people come in and check our system once or twice a year.

The water treatment systems caught our curiosity and setting up the consultation with RainSoft was straightforward. Someone called and asked if we had some free time. They gave us a couple of options and my wife and I worked our schedules to pick a date. The representative who came was fantastic and we became best friends. He is a really nice guy and really knowledgeable as well. We purchased a whole home water filter, the second model from the top-of-the-line model, with a big tank that lives in my garage. The installation team was great and very professional. I was home for the whole thing and the guy walked me through what he was doing. He also answered a lot of my nerdy questions about what was going on. So, he did a great job. The area was left as clean as it can be and everything was fine when they finished.
Since we had the system installed, our water now is a lot softer and tastes better. We definitely prefer it. There's no more hard water build-up on glass surfaces which is cool as there's less cleaning. If you're considering Rainsoft, have the guy test your water. I was skeptical of things and I wasn’t sold in until the sales guy came, gave us the pitch, and did the pH testing, but the results are fantastic.

I received a postcard in the mail for a $20 gift certificate to Walmart which was my go-to store. I called the number and I left a voicemail. Somebody called me back to say that they would have somebody come out to do the water test and that they would bring the $20 gift card. Two different people called me so I called in and confirmed the day and time that somebody would be showing up for the appointment. When the man came out and started doing everything, that’s when I realized it was actually RainSoft, so I was happy about that. However, the man who came out to do the water test was an hour late and he just showed up. I told him that I didn’t think he was coming because the appointment was at 9:30 and it was 10:30 on a Saturday. He said that he was told that he needed to get over here. So, he came in.
When he was doing the tests, I asked him how long it was going to take because I had a girlfriend that was gonna be on her way over. I was trying to tell her about it because she would like it and she did. However, the cost was a concern to her. I told her it was 18 months with no interest. She said that it still breaks down to a lot of money. The guy immediately snapped back at her and and told her that we would have a problem if she kills his show. Even though he was late, we were doing okay but I saw a little bit of a different side of him when he snapped back at her, and that was a little unsettling to me because I told him I’m familiar with the product. Even though I’m a single mom and it’ll be tight on budgeting, I know it was worth it. So, I was frustrated with what he said to my girlfriend.
I got it set up for a Friday morning. And when I was getting it set up, I talked to one of the ladies that I would like an early morning appointment because once a week, I have been coming in late because I’ve been to get things fixed and getting some kind of resolution that might manage what I have going on at home. So, my boss has been frustrated with me about that. That way, I don’t have to take off as much time and that would be great. So the lady went ahead and got it set up for me. She said that they would give me a call when they’re on their way. I told her that my babysitter would be going to other places, watching other people’s kids and she would have to take my daughter with her. I would rather go ahead and be able to go and take my baby to the babysitters before they even get there to install things. That way, once they install everything, I can head straight to work after they’re done.
She confirmed with me the day before and told me it would be anywhere between 7:30 and 8:00 when they get there. However, they did not call before they came, and they rang the doorbell and woke my baby up. They went ahead and they came inside and the salesman ended up telling my girlfriend why she was there. He told her that if she goes ahead and sign up for RainSoft, he would throw in a free osmosis for both of us. That was not something that me and him had even talked about because he didn’t wanna overwhelm me. Being a single mom and not having any kind of extra income except for my own, money is very important to me. So, my girlfriend decided to sign up for it. The guy who came in looked at my sink and told me he cannot put my osmosis in because he didn’t have the drill bit for my sink. He told me that they would call and set that up for me some other time, but he would do the other thing.
He and his friend went downstairs and did the setup. So, I asked him when they came out to install this system how long that actually takes because I needed to go ahead and let my boss know the time that I’ll be coming in. He told me that they would take an hour and a half. After two and a half hours, I went down and asked them how much longer they would be because I needed to get my baby over to the babysitter. He said it would only be 10 more minutes and I told them I couldn’t wait 10 more minutes. I have to leave now because I would take her over there, but she doesn't live too far away, so I can be back within 10 to 15 minutes. He said he needed me to sign a paper and I need to get my water pressure tested because it was high. He showed me where to turn off the water on the system.
I had to go take my baby to the babysitters and I asked them to close the garage when they get done, and they did. About a week and a half went by, and nobody had called me back to put in the osmosis thing. So, I called back and asked when that somebody would be available to come out. I told them that I didn’t want that man coming back out because he was rude to me when it wasn’t my fault. So, the other guy came out to do the osmosis. He was very nice and polite. I liked him a lot. When he got there, he asked me if I was gonna upgrade my sink eventually or upgrade my faucet, and I told them eventually I would like to. He asked me if he could just put it in right there and I wouldn’t have a sprayer thing anymore. I told him that it was not a problem so he went ahead and put it in.
After a couple of weeks, it got loose and I had to call back and get somebody come out there. They ended up sending that other guy out but he couldn’t figure it out, and he said he was gonna call the other guy to come out here. I asked him not to have the guy that first came out because I didn’t like his demeanor. He ignored that and the other guy ended up coming back. He came in and got it fixed within a matter of a few minutes and he was quick. He brought up that I called in and complained to corporate, and he wanted to ask what that was about. I told him that it was the whole process from start to finish. Every component has been horrific from a customer service standpoint. It could have been avoided if the right hand knew what the left hand was doing over there.
Even my girlfriend that signed up, her whole thing has been not good, either. I do know some people that would benefit from their system, but she and I were of the same opinion. We don’t want anybody to go through what we had to go through. Even though the system is great and we love RainSoft, that company that’s out here wheeling and dealing for them either need new management, or they have too much stuff going on. It’s been a frustrating experience. They got it fixed but we ended up having to call back because we didn’t get the liquid soap email. They finally sent that to us last week or the ending of the week but we had to keep calling in to follow up and to touch base. It hasn’t been a pleasant experience but we love the product. Once I knew it was RainSoft, it was guaranteed for me because he also brought up the whole salt package and that should last me for a long time. That wound up paying for itself.

We moved from one part of the town to another and while the water report came back okay, there are some minerals and the water has to be treated fairly heavily to make it taste good. I sent the survey and the sample and when I got the results, RainSoft offered to follow up for us to see what they got. The sales rep was very nice and we had a good experience with him. He was very professional and knowledgeable. However, they were insistent on both the husband and wife being there, which it is a little bit more difficult to happen nowadays than it was 30 years ago. I had to reschedule the consultation a little bit because of my wife's surgery, and they were very accommodating and flexible on the schedule. We got through that and we made ourselves available.
We got a $6000-worth model for the home treatment plan and it was not the most expensive model. When the system was installed, a young man came in and he did a good job. We got the filters under the sink, then we got one outside in the garage. A little water fountain thing that he put on the sink’s a little bit crooked, but if push comes to shove, they’d probably come back out and set it up. My wife noticed it and I had to look really hard. It was a degree off straight up, but it has no bearing on the system. I just got the box of soap and all the stuff about a week ago, so we got all that set up now. As we were told, it’d take a week or so for all the water to clear out of the system for it to take effect. It happened now so we’re starting to see and notice the whole differences particularly in the shower, and the dishwasher too.
Overall, the experience was really good. I had a decent understanding of processes including the way filtration systems and other types of large systems work, and I didn't think I'd be really interested. But when I had non-standard questions that a normal household might not ask, their rep was able to respond accordingly. The guy believed in his product, and it just wasn’t a sale pitch. When I saw the science of some of the water testings, it helped me form a more positive opinion. We have recommended RainSoft and told our friends what we did and gave out some information. We also had a couple of business cards that we passed out to them to give the fellows a call.

I ran into someone at a home show in Columbus and I recognized the logo. I set up the consultation to come to the house, ran through the testing and the numbers and I did it.
I got the softener with the extra charcoal canister because our chlorine levels were high and I also got the reverse-osmosis setup. The installer was friendly, nice and kind to my children. He was informative and told me everything I needed to know. Since the installation, I noticed that everything that they said would happen, happened. It took a week or so but my skin has never felt as nice as it does now. I’ve always had issues with dry skin, and it’s not an issue in the slightest at all. It was a side effect I wasn’t expecting.

The whole system that was put in takes the hard water from the house.

The only way you could tell somebody was there was where they had to dig in the yard, but they filled that back in. There was a little hard taste in our water, and now there's no hard taste or odor in our water, so it’s been good. We can tell the difference when we take a shower. The work was done in a timely manner and it was a pleasant experience.

Most diseases are caused by water so when somebody referred me to RainSoft, I thought it was an opportunity that I should grab to make sure I drink clean and good water. The sales representative who came out was polite. But I've had the system installed for about three and a half months now and she has not called to follow up to see how everything is going on. I was told that I would be getting a monthly supply of the laundry soap but I never got it. Aside from that, I also have a problem with the positioning of the equipment. The technician installed the system on top of the water for my basement. So in case my basement is flooded, we should take that off before they ever do anything. So I have to get back to him about that. Otherwise, the technician was good and the installation went smoothly. The water now is also better than the one I used to drink and I've been doing a lot of campaigning for people to get the system as well.

We recently moved back into this area and we didn’t like the look of the water and what we were seeing on our pots and pans. My husband filled out a questionnaire and then RainSoft called and offered if they could come by, which they did. The rep came and showed us the product. He was pleasant and personable. We got a full filtration system and with it, the water has no taste and there are no deposits inside the washing machine. We've also stopped using a hair conditioner.

When I lived in Illinois, I knew of RainSoft and I had a water softener there for 30 years. When we moved to Georgia, I didn't like the water. I wanted a water softener and I stayed with RainSoft. The consultation with their rep was excellent but there really wasn't a presentation because I knew I wanted one. He was an installer who happened to come the same day that I called and he tested the water and did a brief presentation because I knew that that product was what I was gonna go with. Then I was out of town for a couple of weeks and when I came back, I scheduled the installation and the tech was able to come pretty much the day that I called to schedule. He explained how to work the system but I already knew how to operate a new one. He was great, though. I got the water softener and the whole house filtration, and since they were installed, the water has become softer, which was what I was used to in Illinois. Plus, it tastes better.

We were always concerned about the quality of water we were getting. We were at Home Depot and a fellow approached us about RainSoft's water treatment system. They got our interest and we signed something. Then later on I got a phone call and made an appointment. The sales rep was pleasant and setting up the consultation was easy. When a RainSoft rep came out and did all the tests, it convinced us that we needed a change. Then we bought a system to mineralize the well water we have and to treat drinking water.
The installation experience was pretty good. Two guys came out and they installed part of the system. Then somebody was gonna come out the next day but for some reason, we weren't able to do it that next day. It was a bit later before another couple of guys came out and installed. They were very professional and things went very smoothly. However, I wasn't made aware that the system was a really noisy process, and that noise could be due to the recharging that occurs at certain times during the life of the system. We had the system set up at night-time and it woke me out of bed at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.
We had somebody else come out after that and a quality control guy came out to take a look at everything. We told them about the noise and he simply rescheduled the recharging to afternoon when it wouldn't be a problem. The people that came out were all great, really pleasant, friendly and informative. They did the work well and everything was terrific. We're pleased with the RainSoft system, so far. We have to add salt from time to time, but the water is much softer now and the drinking water tastes better.

The water had a lot of chlorine in it, so I began researching water treatment systems. The rep at RainSoft was kind, very cordial, and very informative. There were some things that he shared that I found out didn’t turn out to be the truth, but overall, he was good. We purchased a big, old tank. We got water conditioning with the charcoal filter. The installation was good, but we’ve had problems since then. We didn’t get it that long and they had to come out already because the filter wasn’t working properly. I'm satisfied with RainSoft and the taste of the water tastes different, but how the residue wouldn’t be there on the glass and on the shower were not true. He was showing us on the glass how the treated water that he had didn’t leave the glass with water spots on it versus what the untreated water did.

A friend of ours told us about RainSoft. They had a water treatment system put in. They did a demonstration for us and there was a free gift with it. After the demonstration, we were convinced that we needed a water treatment system and we got the whole-house soft water system from them. All of the RainSoft people that we worked with were very knowledgeable about the product. The sales rep and the installer were very professional. It took the installer two hours to put the system in and we're well pleased with it.
We also got the system set up so I can wash my car with the soft water and there are no spots on my car. Our water now doesn't take as much detergent, shampoo or soap. It also makes me feel cleaner when I'm done with the shower. The only problem we've had is we were supposed to get some meal coupons for referring RainSoft to some people. We put in the names of these people, but haven't heard anything about those coupons at all. Other than that, though, I'm satisfied with the products.

We were shopping in Home Depot where a promotion was being conducted on the day we were introduced to the system. We were asked if we would be interested in a demonstration, and Sherlock of RainSoft was absolutely fantastic. We liked his presentation, communication skill and knowledge of the product and its benefits.
We have noticed positive changes. My son had some severe case of acne on his back and it was noticeable that those are getting less. In terms of the dry skin that all of us were experiencing with the use of the hard water, it is much improved. We are now getting a better, softer quality water to use and hence, the less harshness or chemicals on our skin. I'm actually going without using lotion and then not even noticing it. It's something that I don't need every morning to get up, so RainSoft is having that impact. And in terms of water quality, as it is alkaline water, I find that I'm drinking a lot more water, nearly two liters now per day.
RainSoft's system is number one. It is applicable, practical and something that if most households in Ontario can afford the system, the benefit far outweighs anything that you can think of right now in terms of using it. We have made strong recommendations of the system to plenty of friends of which more than half a dozen people have responded positively and taken the system.

We just moved into a new house and the water was bad. We got both the water conditioning system for the whole house and the drinking water filter.

The installers were in and out and there was no mess. Since the water system was installed, I can drink my water and it’s not killing my plants.

Right now, it is just two parts because I could not afford the whole system and my wife and I are trying to save up enough to get it. I got the water thing under the sink, and then I got the laundry one.

Setting up the consultation with the RainSoft sales rep went smoothly and she was very knowledgeable. She said our water was not bad but we wanted our water to be a little bit better if it was possible. The system makes my ice taste like a treat now and I love to chomp on it. The system sits in the home and it aesthetically looks well. Although the installers had to come back a time or two for the installation, that was totally understandable. They did a French drain so there were a couple things they had to do.
When it came down to my financing, I was fine with my APR and percentage of interest rate. However, I did not know that so soon we would be switched over to PCI. They let us know that they were our new financier but by the time I got my letter from them, interest was accruing. However, we were supposed to be deferred until December the 15th and in the letter, PCI said they would honor us being deferred because we had that before they received our account. We had not sent payments and the lady I talked to sounded surprised like, "You're not gonna send the payment?" Then she said that interest was accruing until I pay.
PCI has sent mailing to let us know that the payments would be coming up. When we got a statement, it said "no payment". Our total with RainSoft came down to $7,975 but we already have $177 in interest. The interest has made our balance go up and by the time December comes, it would be almost 10,000. So I'm not happy with that. PCI is not honoring what they said. I'd like someone to rectify that because we don't know why they're doing it. They should start us off fresh when December comes.

Because I did a one star review I want to let everyone know what has happened since. Rainsoft contacted me and set up an appointment to send out 2 of their best guys. Dan and Dominic came and we went over every issue I was having. It all boiled down to my old galvanized plumbing pipes. They offered a very good deal on replacing all of them. Not only did they put the new pecks in, they even moved 2 of them so we would not hit our head on them every time we went down the basement stairs. No more ducking down!
Dan and Dominic were amazing!!! They were extremely nice, helpful, professional and did not leave till we went over every single thing. I can actually smell the clean water as my washing machine fills with water and now have good water pressure. I tossed in my dirtiest clothes with no laundry detergent and was pleasantly surprised. The contraption works. I cleaned out all my faucet filters, tub, toilet and toilet tank and won't have to do it again in 3 days. They went above and beyond to set things right and I am so happy. Dan and Dominic... I love you guys!
Original Review: Sept. 13, 2018
When we bought our home I hated the taste of the water. After spending 4,000 on a new bathroom with a Swanstone shower I noticed how the water was leaving a brown film on everything including the toilet. We had RainSoft install a water softener, which included the triple filter system for the kitchen sink's drinking water and a unit on our washing machine. 2 years later and I still get the brown film on my Swanstone shower, the shower curtain is brown, my toilet has to be cleaned every 3 days to remove the brown and it just makes me sick! The unit on my washing machine, as told by them, it would clean my laundry in cold water without using any laundry soap.
The dirt on the knees of my jeans came out the same way it went in, still completely dirty. What a joke this contraption turned out to be. After complaining about the brown film and taste several times, they blamed it on old water pipes. If they were honest, they would of told me that their system would not work unless all the plumbing pipes were updated. $6,500.00 is a lot of money to pay off on something I never would of bought in the first place if I knew it would not work. I am so disappointed in this product and price.

My husband had set up a consultation with a RainSoft sales representative and we scheduled the time. The sales rep was really down to earth. She waited for us and ordered our dinner. She waited for my husband to go correct his order before she started everything. That was really nice. We ended up purchasing a whole house system from RainSoft. The installation team were pretty good. They were knowledgeable, nice, and accommodating. They have completed the set-up in 60 minutes. They had to come out from Jersey a week or so later and dug us a French drain and then we developed a sinkhole over the drain and that took about a few weeks for somebody to respond and get that corrected. Since having the water treatment system, the oxidation in some of our copper pipes that was coming out of the shower is gone. The taste of the water is better, and our skin is not as dry.

We just moved in and we got the impression that most of the houses either had or needed a water softener. There was one posting that scared us a little, that a lady's house got completely ruined by the hard water. She posted, "If you don't have a water softener, you need to get one." Her walls had to be ripped and everything re-piped. We got a water softener from RainSoft after learning of them through the Firethorne website with all our neighbors. Their sales rep was great. He was here for a couple of hours and he was part of the family by the time he left. Also, installation guys did wonderfully. They were very respectful and they took their shoes off when they came in the house. Someone just came and checked the water the other day. He was very nice. He had to get a water test and he said it was 94%.
With the system, we can feel the softness in the water. When we're taking a shower and washing our hands, we can feel the difference. However, the only thing the rep failed to tell us was about refilling the salt. He told me that I should let the tank run close to empty because if I keep filling it, the bottom of the tank can solidify and it will get locked, and I will have all sorts of problems. The salt tank got a foot off the ground and I added two bags of salt because when the techs dissolved it, the tank was full and that's what I figured needed to be done. However, the inspector that came to check the water said that I have to let the tank run almost to the bottom before I put more salt in. It was a good tip.
We like the soap products too. If you buy the system, RainSoft hooks you up with this concentrated soap and you have 1,200 points that you can use over the course of a couple of years. You can go to their website and you can order all these different soaps, hand soap, laundry soap, laundry softener, and multi-purpose cleaner. The soap feels very cool and it's really useful and very concentrated. We get a bottle and we only put a little into a spray bottle or a pump bottle, then we dilute the rest with water, and it lasts a long time. They have all these different soap products which save us money. They even have bar soap for the bath and it's also very cool.

The quality of our water was not as good as we thought. Then after we had on the island this major hurricane last year, it was getting worse. Those things back then were not so important, but we have a three-year-old baby, so they are now. I was visiting one of the Home Depot stores in Puerto Rico and some associate told me about the RainSoft promotion. It was about a visit that they can do to our home to check the quality of our water. Home Depot coordinated the installation of our water conditioning system, and the installers went to our home. It was really quick and I did not lose that much space. At the same day, I could arrange to have all installed at the same time. I was fortunate because I was planning to put in our house this water tank, in case the government service of water stopped.
The differences in the water now are exactly the same ones that we were able to see when they went to our house and make all these tests. Right now, it is going exactly as it should. It is easier to clean, our skin is always soft, and our baby has not had any more allergies, so it's been great. I definitely would recommend RainSoft.

I was supposed to get a follow-up test thing and they never did that. I have their service number but I haven't got around to call them. Another thing is that the system seems to go through salt more than what they said. So, I don't know if there's need to be an adjustment on that or not. When they come out to do a retest, they can do that. But other than that, since having the water system installed, I use less soap in my hair. Also, I still have to use conditioner but just a third of what I used to use, and I don’t use any lotion on my skin.

We're just paying attention to the salt and how we fill it with salt. It's simple and not a big deal.
Since having the system installed, the water is clearer and we can feel the softness. Once we washed the clothes through a couple of times, they are a bit different. We are also using their products and it was part of a promotion. There's also a filter for the water from the kitchen sink and I've been putting that in my coffee maker. That makes a big difference to that. A big feature is the system is portable and we can take it with us. Wherever we end up when I retire and head back to the east coast, we'll be able to take it with us. The only thing that was weird about it was how they financed it but once we set it up and we got used to it, it was okay. We're about to get it paid off. The overall experience is good.

We were referred to RainSoft by a friend since the water that was coming in to our house was extremely hard. We were having a lot of hard water spots or lime. The sales rep came in and tested the water. He explained what he was doing, how the system worked and he had a portable treatment center that showed us what the results would be if we did get a system. He was quite talkative.
We never use our tap water to drink or cook food. We just bought bottled water and have big five-gallon bottles delivered. So we confirmed what we had been thinking all along. Knowing that we could get the water coming in to the house cleaner to where maybe we did not have to buy as much bottled water was positive. We bought a three-filter treatment system from RainSoft, that’s outside the house. We also got filters underneath the sink and filters that were added into the refrigerator as well. As an add-on, we also purchased two air purifiers.
The installation guy got here at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and did not leave until 11:00 PM. The friend who referred it also bought the system but their installation took one hour. So this just kept dragging on and on and on. It took forever. It was not all completely his fault. He broke a shut off valve to the house when he first started so he had to repair all of that. But it was not a good experience, like he showed me how to use the system in the dark and he was like, “Well, I can show you in the dark because I know where all the buttons are.” But I didn’t know where the buttons are there.
A gentleman since has come out and check the system to make sure it was functioning properly. At that time he looked at the installation of the system and he apologized for it and said that it should not have been done that way. He had somebody come and fix a little bit of the issue since the tanks were leaning and a few things like that. He also let me know that the guy that did our installation no longer works for them because of the kind of work he did on our house. The new guy had went ahead and repaired it before he left that night and I think that’s part of what took so long on the installation because he was trying to repair the damage.
Since having RainSoft installed I have noticed like when taking a shower that our skin is not as dry. I have also not been experiencing the dry itchiness that we used to have. Also, it takes less laundry detergent and things like that to get the clothes clean and even to wash dishes. RainSoft has definitely been a plus. We referred other people to them.

The RainSoft sales rep that I spoke to was very knowledgeable and informative. We already talked about majority of what he went through with the presentation, but it was nice to see all the tests. We bought the whole house filtration system as well as the thing that goes under the counter in the kitchen sink. It's an extra filtration system. My wife was here when the installers came and she seemed to be okay with them and they were in and out pretty quickly. Since having the system, I can definitely taste and feel the difference of the water. Overall, the water just seems like a higher quality.
However, the one concern that we still have is that dishes and glassware seem to not be coming out of the dishwasher as clean. The soap tends to stick to our glassware. The service people came out and looked at it and told us there was nothing wrong with the water, so it's not the water. But it wasn’t doing this before we installed it. They told us to cut down the amount of soap and we're measuring out and putting them up what they tell us. We even switched to the cleaning products that they were suggesting. I should be able to use whatever cleaning products I want, but we still switched to their natural products and it's still doing it.

There has been quite a bit information on the water supply of the different cities across the country and we were interested in checking out our water supply in Alabama. RainSoft's sales rep was excellent. He came at our convenience and spent a couple of hours going through everything so that we understood what we were getting into. Because of the cost, it was rather significant so we had to be sure that we were convinced we were doing the right thing. Our interaction was positive all the way. We also had an enjoyable evening of discussion as well as going through all of the testings of the water and discussions about the cost and how it was distributed over a period of time.
We had their water system which costs a lot. It was the filtration for the whole house. We also purchased some products to use in the washer. Their installation team worked with us and we worked with them. They told us what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. We stayed with them and observed what they were doing including finding the water lines coming into the house. We're very pleased with the system. The water is much softer and tastes much better. Their dishwasher, as well as the washing machine, drinking water, shower, and all those things were impacted in a positive way.

The water is hard in St. Pete and setting up a consultation with RainSoft was easy. The in-house demo really sold me and I got the filtration system. The people who put it in wasn’t RainSoft but they were nice and I was satisfied with the service from that company. I read the owner’s manual overnight and when they came back the next day, I posed some questions and they were surprised and couldn’t answer some of them. So I asked them if they all have not read the owner’s manual. That seemed to me to be a little bit off but besides that, they were knowledgeable with the task of setting the system itself and setting up the controls. Since having the system installed, I can put my fingers on my board water and rub them and it feels like lotion. It’s a big difference.

We hear about all the water pollution and a lot of things about dirty water, as well as chemicals, in the media now, so we began researching water treatment systems and RainSoft did all the work in setting up our consultation with their sales rep. The demos and everything that they showed us about the water were very interesting. The demonstrator was prepared to answer our questions and backed it up with whatever we needed to see. Everything was very enlightening and very positive, so we were satisfied and we bought the product. The installation went smoothly. The two fellows came in and installed the system out in the garage, and it was quickly done.
All the stuff that the demonstrator at the demonstration talked about has come to pass since we have had the system installed. When we take the shower or wash our hands, we feel a bit of slickness to the water. It’s also much easier to keep the glass and the ceilings in the bathrooms clean and they don’t cake up. I’ve taken a lot of antacid medication for years and I take it daily when I wake up to prevent the symptoms of burning, but now, I have not experienced that and I’m becoming a believer that the chlorine might really be affecting me more than I realized.

A lady at Home Depot contacted us about RainSoft Water Treatment Systems. She was very nice and I ended up purchasing the water conditioning system and it's underneath the sink. The installer was personable and did a good job on the account. However, he did not explain the system to me and how everything works. He probably went over it, but it takes more than just a few minutes to do that. I should have asked him questions a little more than I did. Nevertheless, since we've had the system installed, I noticed that when I'm in the shower, it feels like I still got soap on. The system makes the water slicker. Also, when I wash my truck, it doesn't leave little bubbles. All the impurities that dry on there, the little white spots all over it, they're not there anymore.

My wife is in the healthcare business and the water quality is always something we’re worried about. We were wanting a good water quality. Also, one of my sons has eczema. So, we looked at different ways to improve that, and water was something that came with the research that we did. We were walking at Home Depot one day and saw a little test-your-water system. It reminded us that we need to take care of our water. We sent the little tube with our water sample to Home Depot. Then, one person from RainSoft contacted me and said, “Hey, when are you gonna be available for me to do a demonstration?” He came the night after to our house and did the demonstration of the product.
We ended up purchasing RainSoft's water conditioning system for the whole house. The sales guy was really good. He spent a lot of time with us and answered all our questions. That was very enjoyable. Also, the installation guy was awesome. He took his time and did a really good job. There were a couple of steps that he had to improvise, but he was really good.

My neighbor had a RainSoft system at his house and they said how much they had enjoyed their water. I thought that it was a good thing, so I followed along. The RainSoft sales rep was very nice and did a really good job of telling us all we needed to know before we bought the system. We got everything -- the air purifier and the system that hooks up to the main of the house. We also got the additional purified reverse osmosis system at the sink.
Thereafter, the installation team put everything together and it looked nice. However, we had one thing that they need to consider in the future. Here in North Alabama, we have Radon issues, so our whole basement is covered with a plastic and it's covering the entire bottom underneath our crawl space because that's mitigated out to the open air so that we don’t breathe it. They tore that all up and they didn’t know what they were stepping on. As they worked to put in the system, they poked holes in it and it came loose from everywhere.
That was something that we found after they had left and that was a big surprise because our Radon meter started going off about a week after they left. So, it cost us a bit of effort and money in order to get that sheeting back down and tacked down. We're still working with it, trying to find all the places that we need to put that back because we're still getting a high Radon read. That's something that they could be very mindful of the next time they take a trip under people's homes. There are other systems that are in place and they should not create a problem there.
Still, their system has yielded less lime/mineral scale in the bathroom. It has helped our skin and our hair and we're using fewer detergents and soaps. We all enjoy the water. We just fill our flasks up and we're ready to go. Really nice drinking water comes out of the sink. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the water system and the taste of our water.

We have very hard water and we had just purchased the home from a contractor that redid everything except the water heater. We had noticed a lot of hard water starting to form and we were kinda worried, but it is nonexistent now. CleanStart is very helpful in the system especially on the detergent and everything else that we use.

We now save so much money on just bottled water while saving the environment... After our system was put in within 24 hours, Ash contacted us to make sure everything was ok and if we were happy, 48 hours later Ash came back to our house to test our water and to make sure we were happy and if everything was ok, and if we had any further questions (everything was amazing and Ash reassured us if we needed anything he was there for us).

They were polite, professional and fast. It was one of the best decisions I've made.

I thought maybe my radio station was broadcasting differently but then I was thinking I wonder if the water flushed the wax out of my ears or something but I hear music better... It sounds different and I was in the car this morning on my way home from work, then I showered this afternoon and went to work in the evening and on the way to work the radio sounded weird.

We were thinking about getting a water treatment system knowing that the hard water was tough on the skin, a little less healthy and tougher on all of our appliances. The RainSoft rep did a good job explaining everything, kept it very clear, and answered all our questions. He was great. We purchased the softeners, the thing that injects ozone into the laundry, and the air quality ultraviolet filter. The installation was very smooth, clean, and the installers put the system exactly in the right spot, and it’s easy to manage where they installed it.
We noticed a difference since the system has been installed. There’s an improvement in our dry skin and there's no harshness on the skin. Our clothes are coming out better or softer, and less rough when it’s dry. Also, it’s good to know that the ultraviolet is killing the floating little things. RainSoft lived up to its billing. If you don’t have the softener, you’re spending that money on products to counter the hardness. There’s a lot of money going out the door, so you might as well put it towards a system that’s actually improving things.

The place we moved into is a townhouse and it hadn’t been lived in for two years. So, the water in the refrigerator and the water coming out of the faucet didn’t have a good taste to it.

They said both the husband and wife have to be available, and since we both work, he came by early in the evening. He was really good at what he did. He discussed a few different options and we were very happy with everything. It just took a while for our Homeowners Association to restrict. So, it took some time for us to discuss what we wanted and where to have it located.
The installers came out and they had to dig and put the system so it was not in plain sight in our courtyard. The guys did a great job. I also let them know that I had to replace my hot water heater, and they said that if we bought it, they’d install it at no charge because they were gonna have a plumber there anyway. So, they were very accommodating. I like the idea of having soft water, but I don’t like the feel of it because it feels like you’re never getting the soap off of you. It keeps the oils in there.
Overall, the way the rep presented the system was impressive. We use water to cook, we use it for our coffee machine, and we drink tons of water. So, it definitely helps going through the whole house, as opposed to just hooking up a filter to our refrigerator or kitchen sink. The entire process with RainSoft was great. They could not have been more thorough and professional. Any time I had an issue or a question, they always got back to me immediately. If it’s something that you’re interested in, then it’s definitely a no-brainer.

A lady on Facebook said that RainSoft was top of the line product. When I contacted Rainsoft, they said they could get somebody out the next day, which worked out perfectly with my schedule. My schedule is so crazy that as long as they could get in that day, we were good to go.
The interaction with the rep was fairly well. He was very polite and educational. He did say that we wouldn't have to clean our toilet as much, which is not true. We have to clean the toilet way more, almost every four weeks, and I don’t know if something’s wrong. We bought the whole house water filtration system and then we got the reverse osmosis that went underneath our kitchen sink. It was very expensive, but we had such a bad water problem that it was worth it.
The installer was absolutely amazing and very professional. He ran into a lot of problems which we weren't able to figure out beforehand. We didn't know where our main house turn-off valve was. We found it behind a piece of drywall, so he had to cut into it. He was there super late but he did great and went over everything with us. However, the other day, I noticed that we had a funny smell coming from the water softener tank. We need to call them on that. Other than that, I have recommended RainSoft to everybody that I've talked to.

I bought a washer and dryer from Home Depot and then RainSoft called me. I did a consultation with the rep over the phone, he explained everything and he was really nice and friendly. He also answered all our questions. I had to reschedule and they were able to reschedule for the next day. I got both the air and water systems and when the installers first came, they introduced themselves and I let them do their thing. When it was done, they explained everything about how to add salt. There's a big difference in taste with our water now and I don’t have dry skin anymore. We’re trying to talk my sister-in-law into getting the system as well because her son has eczema. My daughter had that too and I’ve noticed in just a few months of us having the system, her skin is not as rough.

Setting up a consultation with the sales rep from RainSoft was very simple. They responded quickly and the rep made a compelling presentation that was simple to understand. When all was said and done, he sold me into it. I purchased the whole-house system with a reverse osmosis system upstairs in my kitchen. The installers did a great job. They were very cooperative and communicative during the process. Furthermore, they explained what they were doing and asked me for my preference on locations of the equipment.
I was moving to a new house and I was a bit concerned about the chemical and mineral contents of the water. Since having the system installed, the water has a non-taste, I feel cleaner when I take a bath, and my clothes are softer when I get finished washing and drying them. And the people from RainSoft have been terrific. While I had an issue that I thought was a result of their installation, they came out, looked at it, and fixed it. No problems. They even left me their phone number, so if I need anything or have any questions, they've welcomed me to call 'em. If all the rest of their employees are like them, then RainSoft would gonna do well.

We moved in to a different house and wanted to have some softer water. RainSoft contacted us from Home Depot and my wife scheduled an appointment for a demonstration or a water quality test. We had three RainSoft systems installed. We got one that goes on the washer, one that goes under the sink and then the whole-house system. I interacted with the plumber and electrician as they had to put in an outside electrical unit. The electrician did a great job with the plumber.
With the system under the sink, the installer looked for the water line for the house and located it. He dug a hole where the water line was and then he had to do something but my wife had some concerns at that time. When the other guy came out, which took about two weeks for him to get the job done, he had to locate the sewer line and then dig since we had it installed outside the house. Since the installation of the system, we now like the quality of the water. We're satisfied with RainSoft and I would recommend it. It's an expensive system, but I'm getting what I paid for.

I had a reverse osmosis system from RainSoft before. This time, I got the water softener. The RainSoft guy was very upfront, honest and efficient. He didn't beat around the bush, didn't rush job, brought facts and discussed for us. We talked about what my complaint was and they went through the product list. For the size of the house, the water softener was best recommended. The installer was here on time and he did his work very efficiently. An hour later, he was gone.
Things are now smoother. I like soft water over non-soft water. I've had it for years. The surge is better and it doesn't leave scum marks when the water drains. I would recommend RainSoft to anyone who wanted a water softener or interested in water conditioning equipment. Also, RainSoft is very punctual on annual maintenance and I have no problem since they call me. I'm happy with my interaction with them.

We live in the Cape Fear region, and all of our water comes from Cape Fear, where a chemical was dumped into it called GenX. It was a major concern that caused our local water to be suspiciously tainted. We had just moved to the area when that happened, and we were told not to drink the water. It was to be used for washing and flushing only. When we moved to the area, we had gotten a Welcome Wagon package, and in that package was a flyer from Home Depot that had the RainSoft package in it offering a free water test.
An agent from RainSoft came in and did a full chemical analysis. She told us what it would take to filter our water. She showed us the difference between filtered water and our non-filtered water as far as the taste test, as well as showing us iron deposits and things of that nature. We wound up getting a reverse osmosis unit installed. The installers were very professional. They did the job nicely, and they were all thumbs up around. Since then, we have been very happy with the system we have and it works great.
I'd recommend RainSoft to others as they have a nice compact system. We live in an area where there are no basements, so the fact that their system fits underneath a crawlspace is an advantage. It meets our needs. We have yet to pass the situation where we need to have tanks replaced, but we understand what the costs are, and being a retired couple, it's within our budget to afford the RainSoft system and that's a plus.

When the RainSoft reps came to the door, it was our first real introduction to water treatment systems. At first, I was skeptical because they wanted to test our water but after the testing, I saw the condition of our water versus the water we’ve been purchasing and thought about buying their water softener and filtering system. We could save money by not purchasing water even though it was an expensive system. Their installation team was excellent. They did a very nice job and even put in an extra faucet for my nonfiltered water. RainSoft's follow-up was nice and very well done. They also came back and they did a water test through the phone calls as well. RainSoft's products were professional-looking equipment and their system ends up to be worth it especially when my wife enjoys the showers now that she feels a lot softer.

My husband was concerned about the recycling of toilet water to drinking water. We got RainSoft's water softener system and their consultant was very informative, quick and personable. Their installers were here on time as quoted. We were told that the installation would take six hours but they finished in four and a half. They did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves, explaining everything as they went along after it was installed and how to follow up on it. Since the installation, our drinking water and bathing water are very nice.
However, the water softener requires rock salt, which comes in 40-pound packages and we have to buy it from Home Depot or from another source. My husband and I are both over middle-aged. We have to be able to pick up the 40-pound packages, get them home, use them and pick them up again to put them in the cylinder. That is somewhat of a downfall when you can barely lift 20 pounds. Nobody from RainSoft explained to us upfront that we have to do it but they offered a service for $125 a month and it was a little high. Luckily enough, I have a younger generation in the neighborhood. They have volunteered to go to Home Depot to buy it for us and bring it here. They are also refilling the softener when needed. I can pay the kids a lot less and they’re much happier off with the price that I’m paying them.
Other than that, I recommend RainSoft to anybody who wants to see it. We are a new community and I’ve had people in the neighborhood that have asked me what I’ve done in the garage. I showed and explained it to them then I let them taste the water and all the good stuff that they could do. They asked me the proverbial price and I told them $7,600.

It was educational and it really changes your mindset of how you think about your water. Also, he was very nice and willing to answer any questions that I had. He sat around for a little while longer and we had a conversation. So, it was a very pleasant experience.
The RainSoft system is good and I love it. It's only been a few months that I've had it in my home. The water is only through a spout on the sink and it’s the only water I ever drink.

We’re gonna try to pay it off but if we come to whatever year, then they’re gonna add all that interest back.
Also, the lady wrote an incorrect credit score for my wife because it was 250 points lower than what she really has so that threw me into another category interest-wise. They never told us what credit score they were recording but I saw where the lady incidentally wrote this number over to the side and then she worked a particular column.

The guy had his whole kit and, with a couple of kids here, he made it into a kind of science experiment. He ran the gamut of everything and went, “Let me show you what’s in your tub water too. Let me show you how I can clean your tubs.” We got the full system that’s connected to our main line that we put the salt in. We also got all the boxes of the soap, dishwashing, shampoo and laundry detergent.
A young man then came over for the installation, and he stood in the front yard with me for a few minutes then we went through where we could put it. The water main in our house is on the front yard so he said, “I can put it as far as the side of the house. Can’t go too far away from the main line.” But it turned out that we actually have some bushes in front that we could put it behind so that it isn’t very obvious that it’s there but still easily accessible. He explained and was on point whenever I had any question as far as the logistics.
Since having RainSoft, there's been a humongous difference in our water. People have come over and said, “Your water tastes good.” And so I've told them about the system. I also tell them that if sales reps call them up wanting to do a demonstration, it’s really worth it to do especially if they got calcium build-up. We cleaned our sinks with the red spray two months ago and haven't had to touch them since. We wiped them down a little bit here and there, but for the most part, it cleaned everything up really fast. Of course, having soft water, it’ll get those calcium deposits and more.

So the salesman called his boss and arranged next day set up. I decided to stay up all night and take time to do further research. DO NOT BUY! Spending $10,000 on this is a rip off and scam! There are cheaper systems that perform the same job and this company has had multiple complaints regarding poor consumer service. On the day of install I told the installer I’m cancelling. He walked away, got in his van and called the owner of the company who showed up at my house! The owner asked me why I wanted to cancel, I told him I felt the system was overpriced and I did not want the large bill.
He explained to me the installer gets paid $800 whether or not he does the job, which I’m sure is a lie. So he said he would take $800 off my bill after I already explained to him I did not want this service. After I said no a second time, the owner said, "What can I do to keep your business." I looked at him dumbfounded. He said, "Can my salesman call you," I said, "No. I will call him." Then the owner said, "What about in a month." That's when I gave him the cancelled contract, got my copy and closed the door on him. Just do your research.

Still, when they came back, they were quick and the system works good. Since then, the water has been a lot better. We don’t smell the rotten eggs and the color of it is not pink. It's clear and it looks good. The system is worth the money.

The way the county and city treat the water isn’t always a 100% sufficient, so we figured out we'd make an upgrade. The RainSoft salesman I dealt with was excellent. He went through particular parts of the contaminants and what would the system do for it. I then got the drinking filter and the water softener. The installation was okay but the installers got more room under our sink than we'd like. But we have to live with that. We've had our system for three months now and with it, we have more confidence that our water has fewer pollutants in it and that it's filtered. However, it would be nice if RainSoft brings the price down. That would be an incentive to some people, I’m sure.

The people at RainSoft told us that they would come in and do a water treatment testing and we thought that we should see what it look like in our house since it was new. Our water looks gross so we ended up getting one of their systems. We got the big water filtration unit and since its installation, our skin has not been not dry like it was before. Also, our hair feels softer and lighter and the water tastes a lot better.

RainSoft came out to test my water and it was enlightening. They opened my eyes about what was going on in my home. I had been using filters and buying water in the stores, and I thought it was a lose-lose proposition. But I was spending so much extra on something that should have been a little bit more helpful to me. After the initial test, the fella said he would set me up. Then the installer came on a Saturday and I didn't know they worked on Saturdays. He did most of the work outside. He set the product up and showed me what he was doing. I have a big machine outside attached to my water intake. So the whole house is filtered.
I was a little bit concerned because the main filter didn't have any kind of a lock. It's something similar to a garbage can but he said that I could put something on the top so it won't fly away during a storm which I didn't understand too much. It wasn't really a safety thing but I set something up so that I could keep the top on so it wouldn't be exposed to the elements.
He also came inside and gave me a water filter coming from my sink, into the drinking water and into the ice box. They gave me eight boxes of soap, creams and sprays to use. So that's another thing where I have savings. I won't have to buy soap for another three to five years. The process lasted a little under four hours. But bout two weeks after the installation, I had my house painted and after they were done, I noticed that my electric line outside was cut. It hooks into my water filter so unbeknownst to me, I was getting natural city water.
So my skin wasn't feeling as soft and I was afraid of the drinking water also. But RainSoft had said that I had a separate filter for my drinking water. I called them up and they came by in two days to fix that. Since then, it's been going very smoothly and I have been recommending them. My showers are fantastic now and my skin is so soft. My wife loves it too because her skin is as soft even though she doesn't use as many night creams as she used to.

I moved and RainSoft sent something in the mail about a water test. When the consultant came by he was very good and answered all my questions. I purchased the charcoal filtration system. The installation team had to cut a metal pipe that came from the street to the house. And instead of using a threaded PVC pipe that would be more secure, they used some kind of coupling. Apparently, they cut it too short and about a month later, after it was raining and some of the soil washed away underneath it, it started to slide. One morning I woke up and there was water coming out everywhere so I had to turn the water off and then get the technician to come out and fix it the way it should have been done the first time. I had to call them three times. But I can immediately tell the difference mostly in my skin and hair, and then there are zero water spots on glasses and dishes. It’s amazing.

My husband wanted our water checked to see how hard it was. He saw RainSoft online and checked into it. The RainSoft salesman who came was great. He talked about how better water would be better for our skin, clothes, and hair. The guy who came out for the installation was very professional and got the system nicely beside the house. But I'm not happy with it. I wasted my money on it. I still ain’t got the smell out of my clothes and my hair is dryer now than it has ever been in my life.
