    RainSoft came and did some testing on our water, which we had already done before, and showed us the different products and talked about the benefits. It was very good and informative. The installers showed up when they said they would. The installation was done within an hour and a half. Everything went quickly. And we're very happy with it. The taste changed a bit. I would recommend RainSoft to other people. It is a good value.

    My wife put my name down for the free gift card through Home Depot to go through the water testing. We knew that we had hard water where we live. She was interested in getting a water softener anyway. We had a lot of buildup on all the faucets and corrosion. The water is now way better. It’s very soft. The system takes everything out. RainSoft told us what needs to be done regarding preventive maintenance.

    We bought 2 water softeners in 2020 and they installed one in our home and the other one was supposed to be installed in a family member home in Nevada. We are still waiting for it to be installed. We had to have our 2 systems financed, and it was not any fun to deal with them. My advice is not to buy anything from this company ever. They call every 6 months to come and check to make sure everything is good, but when I ask them about when is the other system is going to be installed, they say they will get back to us. Which never happens.

    At this time we have reached out to the customer and have referred him to his local RainSoft dealer in Louisville, KY. for any needed maintenance. This dealer is familiar with the customer as they have reached out to him in the past but has not been successful with scheduling service.

    We have also recommended that the customer contact the financial institution, Castle Credit, regarding the second system they never received. After 6 years Castle Credit needs to be aware of this in hopes that they may be able to assist the customer with this transaction.

    Thank you.

    Company called to help correct our negative experience. They are arranging a complimentary service visit to help troubleshoot our system. I am pleased that they cared about our concerns and are working to make it right.

    Original Review: May 1, 2026

    We purchased a whole home Rainsoft system and RO when we purchased our first home. The water quality is good and the drinking water tastes great. However, the nearly $9000 cost was a lot for us. We ended up getting it paid off in just one year but then we had to start replacing filters. Each service call costs $140 (2 so far). Now, just under two years later, there is a problem with the softener system and there will be another $140 service fee for the visit. As a company that boasts about their long-lasting equipment I would have thought we would not have problems this early on. I was also unaware that the warranty does not cover any of these service call fees. I would not recommend this system to other because it is overpriced and will continue to cost you more each year. Not worth the promised savings.

    The RainSoft rep was pretty good. I enjoyed him. He worked extremely hard. I really liked that he listened. A lot of times, you get a lot of salespeople who don't listen. They're so dependent on the sale that they sometimes don't. I wouldn't say I'm a hard sell at all, but one of the things that is very important to me is, one, that they listen. Two, that when they listen, they respond in kind. He gave me the opportunity to speak. Because with me having a pregnant wife in the house, I really didn't want somebody in the house in the first place. So I just wanted the information because my wife is big on reading all the lines and every book that you get. She's one of those types, which I love because I'm a fine-print guy. Our water was pretty hard, and it may be a potential issue with the child as well. My wife and I have sensitive skin. The system has been pretty good so far. I'm seeing the results. I would definitely recommend RainSoft.

    I purchased RainSoft's complete set for $8,000. The rep that came to my door was very nice, but he lied to me about one thing. He told me that I'll get 20 years’ worth of soap, for up to four people in a family, and when I went online to do my first soap order, it only gave me $216 worth. Other than that, I love RainSoft. It's phenomenal. The dishes don't have spots on them and my son's eczema clearing is phenomenal too. He had very severe skin eczema and it's very low now. Plus, my body is really soft when I bathe and it's easier to clean the tub, toilet, shower and door.

    Everything went real smooth with RainSoft. When they first came out, they gave us a demonstration of how it works and how it can improve our system. It was very convincing after we saw what water we had then and what water they can make it to be. We set up a time for them to install it within days. The service people were going to drain our hot water heater so we could get all the calcium deposits and hard water out and start anew. They forgot to do that but they came back right afterwards. That was an extra thing that we asked them to do so they're not used to doing it but they did that much. They went above and beyond.

    We've been happy with the product. Our hair feels so much better. Our skin isn't all itchy and scratchy anymore. The clothes seem to clean better in the washer. I'm hoping that we don't have any hard water problems after this. It's not only a water softener, it's a water filter now, too, so the water is healthier to drink. The system was a little pricey, but we got a lot of stuff with it. I would recommend RainSoft.

    A failed water test led us to research about water treatment systems. We found out about RainSoft online and due to their professionalism, we went with them over other companies we talked to. Setting up the consultation with their rep was easy and we ended up purchasing the water conditioning system. RainSoft's reps made the process easy and the installation was good. They also came back and inspected it to make sure it was running properly. The water tastes a lot better now.

    I have had this water softener system for six months, and I am very dissatisfied with its performance. I am experiencing a strong sulfur smell in the bathrooms, and the odor in the kitchen has gotten progressively worse. I contacted the company to cancel the service, but I was told the contract does not allow cancellations. This is completely contrary to what the salesperson told me at the time of purchase, as I was assured that I could cancel at any time if I was not satisfied. I paid $7,900 for this system, and despite my concerns, the company has made no genuine effort to address the odor issues. Additionally, I was promised a $500 gift card, which I never received. The lack of honesty and support has been extremely disappointing. I am requesting immediate assistance in resolving this matter.

    Our RainSoft sales rep was really informative of what was going on. I used to work for Home Depot, but he gave me a bunch of information that I didn't know to begin with. The salesman said he was very new to it and this is his third house. But the way he was explaining everything, and the way he carried himself made it seem like he'd been doing it for years so props to him for making the sale. They had a whole little display that they wanted to show me, a comparison to my water compared to what they had. Everything that they explained to me was really good, so I ended up getting the E4, the whole system, and under-sink water dispenser. The installers came one day and they said they had to come back the next day, which was fine. They were very professional and the work was clean. I had no issues. Since then, I can tell that the water is not hard anymore and it doesn't smell like bleach. It's good to drink compared to what it was before.

    Other than that, I've been trying to look for my account on their website and trying to figure out where to navigate, but it tells me to get an app or doesn't tell me where to log in. I don't have any login information and I don't have anything so where to see my bills or how much is left. Besides that, RainSoft has an amazing product and great customer service. I’d tell friends and family members all the benefits as well as everything that I learned from them.

    We were at the wedding expo and there was a RainSoft booth there. We filled out the form and we had a free water test. Their tech who came out did a lot of tests. He checked how hard the water was, the chlorine content in the water, and he did a lot of really cool tests where we would put our hand in the water, then he would test another one that didn't have our hand in the water. We would test the soap and we would test it on our glassware. After that water test, we knew that we got to get the equipment. So, we have the main one that goes for the whole house, and the one in the sink just for the RO water. Maintaining the equipment is very easy. You just have to fill up the salt in it every couple months or every so often and it's not a big deal at all. The price is very reasonable, too.

    After getting RainSoft, we noticed the difference in the water right away. We took really long showers once it was finally installed and we felt cleaner. And you can tell a difference with the soap as well and even the dishes. It actually cleans them. Even the taste of the water is completely different. We're very happy with RainSoft and it is absolutely worth it.

    Roger came out for RainSoft's presentation. He was extremely intelligent, was confident in all those testing procedures and stuff he was doing. Every question was answered. He was very professional and courteous. The installation took a couple hours. It was pretty quick. Now that I had the system installed, I can feel a difference in my hair, and my hands get a little dried out. It was an expensive system. They could have been cheaper.

    This machine is garbage and it’s high priced to boot!! They came to my door and said they got my name from Home Depot, which was their first lie. Then they told us there was a lifetime warranty, second lie. I told my husband that I know this machine was not working, I could tell by the smell of the water. My husband called to have someone come out to check it, and the serviceman told us everything was fine but we should try this different but better salt. So we did. He also told us to turn the unit off once in a while for a day, that wouldn’t hurt the water or us, we have never turned it off except for while loading salt. He also told us to pour bleach into the drains to control the smell of the water, afraid to do that because we have PVC pipes and that seems like it would be detrimental to the pipes. Enough of the nonsense.

    I recently went to visit my sister in Wisconsin, she has had water issues too, so I brought a water sample with me and had her test it with her testing stick, numbers were out of this world with the solids I had in my water, scared the cap out of me, so husband called Rainsoft, the number he had, and the woman told him we’d have to pay even more money to find out if what I’d suspected all along, the machine was junk and has never worked since we got it!! She told us that she had only been working for rainsoft for a month, and didn’t know of anything she could do to help us!

    We asked to talk to the manager, she informed us that the managers do not talk to consumers. My head is ready to explode with all these lies and getting no help from a company who says they stand behind their products! I hear there is a class action lawsuit in Florida and against Home Depot, I’m doing research as I speak as to how I join these lawsuits, or maybe I’ll start my own lawsuit! The only reason they got a single star is because I cannot submit a review.

It had just fallen out of warranty, which, I found a little wee bit sketchy. They had a deal where if we traded in the old one, they gave us a discount on buying a new one.

    We're happy with RainSoft. We were doing shopping in Home Depot and then somebody approached us and then asked us if we were interested to check our water. Setting up our consultation was okay. The representative was on time and it was good demonstration. Initially, I was only up to the gift card that they will give us. It doesn't matter if we accept the product or not, we're still gonna gain some $30 gift card from Home Depot. However, since their rep was really knowledgeable and he demonstrated everything, we opted to get the product.

    The installation team was also great. When there was an issue, they came back and did everything. They came to the house three times to install it. There was a line that they wanna connect to it. There were some problems, so they were sent out three times but we were happy. Since having our system installed, we feel like whenever we take a bath, it's clean to the body.

I haven't noticed anything with the hot water yet, but the cold water is so clear. As far as other products, I got soap, cleaning glass and Windex from RainSoft. It's a great experience and I already referred my friends to them to get their water checked so they can have clean water.

    I always have awesome experiences with RainSoft. They put my water system in about 22 years ago. I've been friends with Rick since the day he came over. It was the third day we moved in. I don't have anything negative to say about the guy. We have the same likes and dislikes. He comes over here when I call him if I need something. I also know all the employees personally, from the office staff to the service techs to everybody.

    The system that I had was now considered a dinosaur. If something broke and if the part was obsolete, Rick always had some sort of a part left over from a teardown from another unit. The reason we got the new one is because we broke the last thing on the unit and the service tech said, "Holy crap. I don't even know where to get one of these things." I said, "Well, let's duct tape it until I can talk to Rick." Within four days, we had a new system.

    There were all kinds of water spots on the shower door and the water that was coming out of the tap was hard. I could also smell chlorine in the water some days. So, I became interested in having a water softener. RainSoft was recognized as one of the best ones and I chose to buy the system from them. When the water was tested, the rep told me that there were particles in the water and that the water was hard, and there were various chemicals. He put a whole bunch of different colored drops in it and some drops turned different colors. I had been through this spiel before with another company, so I knew what to expect watching it. I was sold on the fact that I wanted a water conditioner system.

    I looked at a couple of other kinds but they all had filters that you have to replace all the time and it didn’t do what I wanted it to do. It didn't have reverse osmosis for the drinking water. The water softening system is okay in the house, but you want the water that you drink to be filtered a little bit more if you can get it that way. And RainSoft offered all of those things. With the system in place, the water is what I wanted. It was clear before, but you didn’t know what chemicals were in it. When you use hard water to wash, it feels like the soap comes off and you get that squeaky clean feeling. But with soft water, you rinse and there is no squeak. Your skin feels softer.

    We got a flyer and my wife called RainSoft, and the salesman set up a time. He came by the house and did scientific tests on our water to prove that we needed the filter. He was super knowledgeable and showed us pictures of the system at his house. He also showed the difference between the city water with chemicals and how RainSoft filters it, including additional filtration for drinking water and explained how it can save money monthly on soap. We got the water filtration system and the drinking water filtration, and those were installed super-fast. It was set up prim and proper and everything was good to go. It was great. Since then, we use a lot less soap and I feel clean after I get out of the shower. All in all, we’ve been happy with it.

    On the day that RainSoft was supposed to come out, some of the techs got in a wreck, so they were short-staffed and couldn’t install that day. They called right away to explain the situation and gave a new date. They came out on that date on time, and everything went as expected, so I wasn’t upset about it. RainSoft was on point and put out exactly what they told us they’d do. The system is a little bit on the pricey side, but it's all automated with the app and everything else that tells you when to do all the maintenance on it. So it's not hard to use at all.
