    I've had RainSoft for probably 10 years and I just upgraded my system throughout the home. The price was a big chunk when I started and it was just fine. Their reps would come out once a year and do what they had to do. This upgrade was expensive but it's fine too and I don’t have to do anything for about three years now. I don't have to flush the system anymore. The water would come out a little bit cloudy for the first day and it doesn't do that anymore at all. It's just fine all the time. The system is well worth it. I live in Antelope and the water quality is not fabulous here but it is with the RainSoft. I'm very happy with them. The reps were very prompt in their service, polite and professional.

    I was at Home Depot and somebody asked me about water softening. But I didn't hear about RainSoft until Steve, our salesperson, came to our house. He was very nice and knowledgeable. We got the softener and the installation took a couple of hours. Steve came back to check on us and found out that our water wasn't soft and our toilets were leaking way more than they should have. Therefore, we didn't have soft water because our salt was all gone. So, we had to get a plumber to come out and fix the toilets, and everything was great. RainSoft’s system works for us. It provides peace of mind, which is the most important thing than the physical parts and pieces.

    Everything's good with RainSoft. I was approached at a Home Depot and they offered a water test for home. A technician came to the house and did all the testing and it cleared a lot of questions that I have. I purchased the water system filter and the air filter and the installers were good. They explained everything, where they were gonna do the setup and why and how it worked. Since having it installed, I could feel that the water is softer when I shower and when I use the soap. I've recommended them and hopefully, that person gets it.

    One of their representatives came by the house and gave me a demonstration. I was shocked. I got senstive skin and I was having some skin problems with the chlorine in the water I didn't know the chlorine content was that high. They went through the test and after we did the purification part, I was shocked. I said I was in and the plumber put the system in with the salt, purification system, and the canisters and routed the plumbing through it. He was very friendly and professional. He cleaned up everything that he needed to clean up. And he talked to me and told me everything he was doing and what would be the outcome for a day or two or till the system went through it. The difference in the water is night and day. My water tastes better and even washing my clothes is different. I don't itch and I don't have that dryness of my skin or the hardness in the water. It's been very beneficial to me.

    We recently purchased the RainSoft Water Treatment System. At first, we were a little skeptical due to the cost but after Dave ** who works for RainSoft educated us on all the benefits we were sold. I recently purchased a home in Brooklawn, N.J. and was totally unaware of any water issues. When we first tasted our water, it was like drinking chlorine and the smell confirmed we has a serious problem. So we had our water tested and found out our water was toxic. This is how RainSoft came into the picture and thank goodness they did. No more bottled water for us.

    Our water is the best I ever had. I find myself drinking more water now instead of soft drinks which is a lot healthier. Showering is the best part. This water has a rejuvenating effect with its soft sensation. Also, my cleaning supply bill has decreased by 75%. We use very little cleaning product our RainSoft water does the work. This "miracle water" makes our bodies and clothes cleaner than ever before. My floors look like they are brand new. I cannot say enough great comments about this water. Also, Dave ** and the RainSoft staff are great people to work with. They made the purchasing process quick and easy. So, if you want fantastic drinking and bathing water that does not hurt your budget, Rainsoft Water Treatment Systems is the way to go. Anita **

    I had the EC4 water treatment system installed by Professional Water Services, Inc., on February 2, 2021, and from the beginning, it has failed to function as intended. The initial issue was that the unit never used any salt during its first year of operation. Professional Water Services serviced the unit, but despite multiple visits, the system has still not resolved our water quality concerns. In addition to repeated repairs for pinholes in our copper pipes, I recently noticed blue deposits appearing in my showers. Upon reporting this issue, the service team replaced the acid neutralizer two weeks ago, but we continue to experience problems. After adding four bags of salt, they were completely depleted in 14 days without an improvement in water quality.

    Given these unresolved issues, I consulted an independent expert from Culligan Water Treatment Systems. They tested our water, confirming that the EC4 unit is not working effectively: our water pH is still at a 6, and the hardness remains, as shown by the deposits and stains throughout my plumbing and fixtures. I still have a balance of $2,500 on this system, and I am highly disappointed to have been paying for a unit that has not delivered the quality of water I was promised. I have submitted a Request for Action under EC4 Lifetime Warranty - AS System Not Functioning as Promised.

During the last call that we made to inquire, which was last week, we were assured that customer service would call the next morning. However, they never called.

    The sales rep from RainSoft was outstanding. He took the time to answer any questions. He said, “No question is a dumb question unless you don't answer it.” He was showing us different things about the water and the different chemicals he was using to break it down to our level to understand what he was saying. He took the time out to explain. He said, “Don't hesitate to ask any questions. You have any problem, feel free to reach out to me any time, day or night.”

    He said, “You’d get a couple of times taking a shower and drinking the water between the bottled water, the water that you had before, and now the filtered water. You will begin to notice the difference. Because give it about a week or two, drinking the filtered water, once you get used to how the system works, and you'll notice between the filtered water is more smooth versus the bottled water, more dry mouth. And the regular water that you had coming into the house was a lot hard when you take a shower and as you use the soap.”

    The installer was wonderful because he was like, “What do you want? Wherever you decide to have it, that's where we're gonna put it at.” I was like, “Well, I want it here.” He said, “Thank you for putting it here ‘cause the closer it is to the water meter, the better it is for you and everything.” I made it easy for him to put the plug, so he didn’t have to do all that digging and running wires. I made it simple for him to do it to plug it up, run the hose through the house I already had and plug it up from the inside. He was very knowledgeable. He was respectful. He was on time.

    I like the dude. He said, “If you have any issues about the machine, just give me a call. I'll be glad to help you walk through it.” Jessie was the lady who came out and did the sample again. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. I have no complaints on all three of them who came out. What RainSoft can do is improve the customer service when you call the number to call. I did have the issue with the machine got knocked off when the power just fell off, and it came back on the reset somewhere where it wasn't supposed to go. Other than that, if I call them, they walk me through the process.

    I went online and filled out a form, then RainSoft contacted us to set up an appointment. But we were supposed to have an appointment one day and the guy didn't show up. So that was a little frustrating because I had little kids. But the guy that showed up did a really good job. He explained everything great and was very understanding. We had young kids and they were a little loud, but was very patient with us. I got the purifier, the filter at the sink, the soft brine tank, and the whole nine yards. I like the system. It took a little while to notice its effects, especially in the shower, but I can tell the difference in the water quality. We also notice the difference with the filtration. We use it for our child's bottle and hopefully, that's helping him too.

    But there was supposed to be a five-year supply of soap, which was one of the promotions, and another one of the promotions that goes along with it. So far, the demo stuff was brought to us but we haven't heard a word about signing up for any of the promotion things and that's been a couple of months. That's been frustrating because that was one of the selling points to us and we haven't had any follow-up. But as far as the system goes, it's worth it. I would recommend RainSoft and if my friends have the time, I would get them to set up an appointment.

    RainSoft is a little pricey. But with our experience and track record with RainSoft, we know it works. We've had RainSoft 15 to 20 years ago in a different home. Moved out of state and came back, got a new house. Katy is notorious for bad water and we knew it. We did some shopping around and we knew we had good luck with RainSoft, so we went back to them.

    The tech was great. He went through everything that we knew of, not good or bad. Nothing's new with the way everything works. A little more modern technology in it. We had our mind set before he presented everything, but we went ahead and went through the whole spiel with him. Everything went well. The cost of living has gone up, but units are a little more pricey than we anticipated. But it is what it is. We could have probably got lesser. But the installation was very smooth and professional. Everything looks great. The water does not leave rings, calcium and junk all over the house. Everything we expected is there.

    We've always been wanting to upgrade to a better water system because here in Saginaw our water is pretty harsh. We talked to a RainSoft rep and he did really good. After the test that he did, I couldn't believe how much stuff was in our water. He went over all the different kinds of systems they had and we told him which one we wanted right now, which is the one for the kitchen sink. But hopefully, next year we're going to be able to get the whole entire house with the water softener done. The installation of our RainSoft system was great and it didn't take very long for them to do it. Right now, we don't do anything for the upkeep. They will alert us when it's time to change the filter then they'll come out and change it. Since we got the system, the water tastes a whole lot better. It's nice and soft, too. RainSoft has a great product and I would recommend it to everybody.

    The RainSoft installer was very nice. However, he didn't show up till after 6:00 and had to end up drilling a hole in my wall because it had to be plugged in. We had to cut bushes on the side of our house, too. I'm grateful my husband was home because there was no way in hell that I would have been able to do such things. And the installation didn't finish until 9:30. It was well after dark. My husband had to stand outside and hold the flashlight. He was a great installer who just showed up super-duper late. And it was a relatively inconvenient process. I've had the Rainsoft for two months now and I can taste the difference in the water. I struggle with showering still and having knots in my hair afterward. But at the end of the day, it's much better than what we had. All in all, I'm very pleased.

    I have two kids, a seven-year-old and a three-year-old, that have really bad eczema. The rep that came out and did a demonstration told us that both of his kids have eczema as well and having the purifier would definitely help out with that. We've only had the product a couple of months, but when my wife and I noticed that our kids' eczema wasn't clearing up, we had a tech come out to do a follow-up. He did an inspection and noticed that one of the motors on our purifier was clogged. It hadn't been working for a good three weeks.

    The system is up and running now, and we have noticed that the water is definitely different. We can smell and feel the difference, and our kids' eczema has been subsiding. Rainsoft is an excellent product and people should definitely look into it because when they did the demonstration on the chlorine levels, at least in our area, it was terrifying. I definitely would recommend Rainsoft to family members and friends.

They went above and beyond because they had to reroute some piping through some shelving that I had in the garage, which made it a bit more difficult.

    We just purchased a home with a Rainsoft EC5 system that is a year old. This new system was definitely a big plus when deciding to purchase the home. One month after we moved in the system kept regenerating every day. Called the dealer and they determined the Motherboard is bad and is 1200.00 to replace. Motherboard fails after ONE YEAR?! The tech did not check any other parts of the system, just pressed a few buttons.

    Lifetime warranty only applies to the original purchaser, which is ridiculous. If they stood behind their product the warranty would follow the equipment. Now I have a very expensive water system that needs to be replaced and I can't see spending 1200.00 on something that has no warranty. What will go next? I expected more from such a well established company. The tech recommended buying a new Rainsoft system so that we would have the lifetime warranty.

    We did a water test through Home Depot and then Rainsoft called and asked if they could come over to the house to take some samples of the water. They did a really good job presenting everything and were pretty transparent about the whole situation. They didn't really tell us that they were there to sell us a water softener, though, for a while. So, some of the questions seemed a little odd till they put it in perspective that they were there to try to make a sale. But we ended up buying it. They were really professional. It took a little bit of getting used to the system but it works pretty good. There are a couple of things that I'm not super excited about. But overall, I'm pretty happy with the whole thing.

    The water tastes a little different now. We also got a reverse osmosis water filter with that. So most of the drinking water that we're drinking is that. I did ask Rainsoft to put a spigot in the bathroom for the reverse osmosis system. But they wanted a lot of additional money for that and it was not worth it, so we didn't have them do it. I assumed they would include that, but they didn't. I also asked them if they’d put on a bypass so that we could use either hard or soft water on our outside spigots. But they did not install it. They just completely bypassed the soft water altogether. So, I don't have that functionality, even though they told me they could do it and would do it. I was a little disappointed about that.

Inside, underneath the counter, we have the drinking water filters and the little container for the water. The installers couldn't find a drain so they had to use a tube to go out to the street. But other than that, everything was good.

    I had a small RO system to start with, then I was approached at the Home Depot by one of RainSoft's representatives to do water testing. I knew that the water here in Graham, Texas is really bad. So, I asked them to come and do the water test. They said our water had way too much chlorine in it and there were several other chemicals in it that shouldn't be there. They also said that if this water was in the city swimming pool, they wouldn't let you in it. So, we decided to put a system in. It's been functioning great and so far, I haven't had to add salt or do anything. But I know that you got to make sure to keep the salt in there once a year.

    So far, when you take a shower, you can always tell when the water softened up because it felt like you couldn't get the soap out of your hair before. But now, it comes out just fine. It also makes your skin really smooth and you can tell that the RainSoft system makes a difference. I would tell my friends to get RainSoft, especially here in Graham.

    Everything was pretty legitimate with RainSoft. The person who was selling the equipment was bright and convincing. We ended up purchasing two of the tankless water heaters for the house because the house is 4000 square feet. So, we needed two units. We also got the water softener and the reverse osmosis. The installers were educated and they did good, although they came back once because there was a leak. One of the fittings that they installed apparently failed, so they repaired it within due time. Since we got RainSoft, the water is more conditioned and softer. Also, the drinking water that we get through the reverse osmosis is a quality water.

I should have done my due diligence and got some price comparisons before purchase - oh well, lesson learned. What is really disappointing, however, is the cost of replacing filters that can only be done by an authorized dealer for 350$ a year! I can't even find filters that are off-brand comparable.

    I liked the presentation. The guy did a great job and I watched it all. I know that our water isn't the best here. I grew up on a farm in Nebraska, so I know what hard water is like. All of my family have water softeners, so I knew the benefits of it. Installation took the majority of a day because my water heater is inside a small closet along with my washer and dryer. All of that wasn't gonna fit in there, so the installers had to trench all the way halfway around my house to put the system out there.

    I haven't had my Rainsoft system but a couple of months. It's set up so that my main line goes through it, and I've already added salt. I do a lot of watering of flowers and I haven't switched it. It's not a big deal to me. I love the difference in the taste in the water and the products that I've gotten, including the shampoos and body wash. My granddaughter tells me she loves the shampoo. It smells so good.

    I will say that I don’t have any issues with the water/system. However when you pay the very expensive fee to install the system they make it seem as though the maintenance is much more reasonable because all you need to do is pay to replace the filters. However I have changed the filter three times since purchasing this system and the price gets more and more ridiculous each time. They call to schedule and they quote me one price. Then when the tech comes he tells me a completely different price and says, "Oh that’s because they didn’t include parts." It feels deceptive and dishonest and I don’t understand why the price for the same filters to do the same job should double in price.

    If I had known the cost to replace the filters would double and triple then I would not have installed this system in the first place. You pay an exorbitant fee only for a tech to come and do 10 minutes of work. It’s a handwritten invoice with a simple listing of the price without any details which makes it seem as though they just make a price every year since you can’t verify the actual cost. Do yourself a favor and do not work with this company.

This might have flown in the, I don't know - '70s.

    The install was a mess from the start - they missed my install date, they messed up my financing and I had to brow beat CITI into fixing something they didn't do, the plumber did not provide the bypass I was guaranteed in the contract, the system broke within months of installation, now their software is on the fritz and regenerating at 90% capacity remaining. My RO is overdue for replacement, but due to the proprietary garbage I have to shell out an exuberant amount to a company I don't want anywhere near my house again.

So, that impressed me a lot and that's what I like. In a year's time or on the due dates to update things, if they call and do that and the system is still working good, then it was worth every penny to do so.

    This is the area that needs these systems, so the pricing could have been a little better. A reasonable pricing for new home installations would lead to more sales right off the bat. We were gonna wait to do it because our contractor told us to wait. He knew the costs of these things.

There hasn't been much in the way of upkeep but we are a bigger family, so they told us that we would be running out of rock salt earlier than some people. I did notice that that's a little low, so the only thing would be to run and grab a bag of rock salt from somewhere at some point.

Since I got it, the taste and the color of the water have changed because it used to be yellow due to all the iron. I've even put it through Brita pitchers and that didn't seem to help. It just stained the pitchers. It's also not staining in the bathroom anymore. So, the water is better now, though I still have to put rock salt in my water softener.

    We moved to Houston and the Houston water is not the best to drink. I came from Connecticut and Connecticut water is perfect. So, I wanted to get a water softener system. The guys that came and installed my generator said they could also install a water system. So, I used the same company and I ended up getting a RainSoft system. So far, I like it. The water tastes better and taking a shower is nicer. I’d tell my friends that I had a very good experience with RainSoft.

    I grew up on RainSoft. My parents had them for years and ever since we moved in, that was the first thing I wanted because the water was so hard. So, it was a no-brainer for me to purchase the system when it became available. The installation was great. The techs were very professional, courteous, and mindful. Even though the guy installing it was training, they still managed to make it seamless as if he wasn't even training him. Since then, I noticed the difference in the taste of the water and it is not as hard as before. My hair is not as dry and I have a lot more soap now because I don't need to use as much.

    With the RainSoft system, the water tastes good. I drink it now out of the spout for the water filter. I feel better drinking the water because this water didn't taste good before. Some days you could go rinse your mouth with the toothpaste or take a pill and you didn't wanna go to the kitchen, you just want a little Dixie cup that you use in the bathroom, but it tasted horrible. Now, it cleans well too. They told us that we would have to add salt to it every so often. It would tell us when it needed the salt added, and that would be all we need to do to it. They would come out to maintain it.

    Someone from RainSoft called me and offered a free water test. The fellow who came knew what he was doing and yet, he was fun. He made the whole time enjoyable and found out that my water was crappy. He did the usual tests on my water and filtered water because he brought his own filter and compared them chemically and on settling. At one point, he said he could use a cup of coffee and he flushed it through with his filtered water and then made it with filtered water to show how much better the coffee tasted. I got the water purifier with the salt in it and the control panel. The first price the rep gave me was outrageous. I said I didn't pay that much for my house. He came down a few times and it got to a point where it was still expensive but I could afford it.

    By the time the installers got here, I realized I needed permission from the community I lived in, and they realized that I needed it and didn't say anything. So, they just took five and I went to the office to try to get permission but they wouldn't be back for two hours. So, when I came back, the installer gave me three options, two of which would hide the system the best and I decided to go with it. He was very good. He's got it in behind my house on the side of a bush.

    I'm very satisfied with RainSoft. I've had it for years. It's reasonably priced compared to buying cases and cases of water. The water that it produced tasted so good. It tasted like Aquafina to me compared to sink water. It's probably been 12 years since I got the system. I just upgraded. I went from the original system and went to an upgraded system which is even better. I'm very happy with it. The people from RainSoft are very prompt. They explained everything that they had to do. The maintenance is yearly. I just call them, make an appointment, and they come and do it.

    As far as the upgrade, they took out the old one and installed the new one. During that process, something broke on the faucet. They went down to Home Depot and bought me a new faucet and installed that for free. The set up was just as fast as it was, had it not been for the mess up on the faucet, which was not their fault. It's just when they tried to take it apart, it had not been disconnected in 12 years, so it shattered. Nothing's made of metal anymore. Instead of having to get my filters changed every year, now it's every two years, which is even better.

    I waited on RainSoft to order my faucet because they didn't have the right color, and then they found out they don't even carry that color. My whole kitchen did the matte black and when they came out, they only had the copper faucet, which was fine. He said, “We'll put this in. That way, you still can use it. And then we'll order you a black one.” Then that took a little while because he had the understanding that they could get a black one, but then they were out of them. So, then they had to order some from a different wholesaler and then come back out and schedule it. They finally came out and replaced it. I've asked them to come back out and do a second water testing because I wanna see what I'm paying for. I just gave them $12,000, and I haven't heard back. So, I till want them to retest it.

    Everything was good in the beginning. They have the right person trying to sell you the job. So, that worked. Overall, the water is good. I hate the ozone smell. When they came back out to change out my faucet, I had them turn the thing that goes on to the AC down because that ozone smell is distinct. We did the thing on the washer that has the ozone. So, it's supposed to be where you don't have to use your laundry detergent. I just can't get past the smell and how it makes my clothes and my hair smell because it has that ozone. The tech said just to give it some time, let it do its thing, and see if the smell gets better.

    If there's a way for them to capture the ozone smell, it would be good. If I would have smelled that to begin with, I would not have paid for that, because now I feel like I'm stuck with it. I wouldn't have paid the extra to put it on the washer because now my clothes smell like that and I hate it. I'm having to use fabric softener when they told me, “You won't have to use this stuff because it's gonna clean your clothes.” What they don't tell you is the smell. So, you're gonna wanna use this stuff to drown out that smell. So, if I could have smelled that, I wouldn't have done it. I would have still got the water, but I wouldn't have done the add-ons that the rep talked me into.

    We went to Home Depot. We asked someone to give us some sort of demo. We were not aware only the RainSoft would come. We planned to buy something else, which would come in much lower cost. But RainSoft came, gave the demo, and convinced us to buy the product. We were looking for some sort of convenience, like not going to a store and buy the different product. So, we thought, "Let's go for it." The installation was very smooth. The technicians were experts and did everything in less than an hour.

    When we raised a complaint, we got good support. Things are working good. The expectation of utilizing the water is higher than what we are using from this system and that is causing them not to reset. That less consumption of water probably not aligned the system to reset and causing some sort of hard water in between. So, they came, forcefully reset, reset the setting, and we're good.

    We should be very clear about the utilization of water. We are a three-people family, which is small, and we could go for the lower budget kind of water treatment system. I'm not complaining against RainSoft. It's a wonderful system and we are enjoying the water quality. I'm not sure how things would be if we go for any other brand. But if the quality is the same, companies should provide some sort of honesty in terms of which product we should go with if the family size is small versus which product we should go if the family size is high. That's based on our ROI. Otherwise, I'm happy with the product.

    I originally filed a two-star review after I experienced a difficult time getting our local RainSoft installing company (High Quality Water of San Diego) to respond when my system abruptly broke down two weeks after installation. Subsequently the company has been very cooperative, we have now resolved the issue, our system is now working very well, and I'm very satisfied with both the staff and the service. I believe that my experience was a rare result of logistic and communication difficulties. I would recommend RainSoft and High Quality Water of San Diego to anyone interested in dramatically cleaner water in Southern California.

    Original Review: Aug. 3, 2024

    We had an EC5 system installed at our residence in Coronado CA on July 1, 2024 by High Quality Water of CA, Inc. Initially we were very pleased with the system and the quick installation. On July 26, however, we got an ALERT message "Motor 1 Failure". I called our installer to schedule a technician but were told that the only person who could make appointments was 'out sick but would call first thing Monday 29 July; (27/28 being the weekend). When that didn't happen I called on Monday and was told that the only appointment person was 'out sick' again, but would call the next day; 30 July. That didn't happen.

    When I called yet again I was told that a technician would definitely be here on Thursday, 1 August. On 1 August, a person showed up to test the water and found that our system had completely shut down. I showed him the alert message and he promised to pass it along to the appropriate person. The promised repair technician never showed up and I got a call from the company saying that he was 'out sick' and the first available appointment was Tuesday, 6 August. I requested that the caller find an earlier appointment and explained my growing frustration with the company's inability to provide after-installation service. I was promised that a technician would definitely be here today, 2 August.

    This morning at about 9am I got a call telling me that the technician was not going to come and was 'out sick'. The best they could do was offer an appointment on Tuesday, 6 August. Our $8500 RainSoft water system failed completely after only 25 days. That's not satisfactory and, while it's unfortunate and I can understand the possibility of a faulty part or installation error. What I absolutely cannot understand is RainSoft's unwillingness to stand behind their product and provide a swift solution to this failure. Frankly, I'm fed up, frustrated, and quite upset with RainSoft. Your company has a good reputation and that's why I trusted it. At the moment I'm beginning to doubt the wisdom of my decision to trust RainSoft to get this problem fixed. If there is anything you can do to get High Quality Water of CA, Inc off the dime, I would greatly appreciate it. I would appreciate a call back from your office. Thank you, Paul ** ph: **

    We really liked RainSoft. The sales guy and the installer were good, then they had somebody come back for quality assurance and do inspection. It was all professional and done well. The only thing was, when the inspector looked at the system, there was a bit of a leak. When the unit was initially installed, there was a little seal inside that got crimped somehow. They were able to fix it right away, and it was fine. The cost of the system was high, but it’s considered a premium product. Therefore, it was worth it for the quality.

    We had rust stains in our toilets for years and I was sick of dealing with it so I looked into a water system. The sales rep from RainSoft came out and they were super nice and not pushy. But the installation took about three times as long as what we expected for it to take and we had somewhere to be that day. The installer was about an hour and a half late and then we had a few leaks afterwards. But everything is working good. Skin is all the difference in the world. We have been using the laundry system as well and I'm super impressed with that. I like the quality of the system a lot. It's expensive, but it's got a lifetime warranty and it's transferable.

    The sales reps were great. They were both very knowledgeable and presented the information very well and let me know everything about Rainsoft. The installation was fast. The only hiccup was the one part was they did not come in on time. But an installation was done within a day. Everything was fine. They just have to come back and change the color of the actual faucet. So, it’s very minor. Since the installation, the water tastes so much better. I have peace of mind when I give the water to my kids as well.

    The rep with RainSoft was excellent and the installation was seamless. Everybody loves the water so it worked out like we hoped it would. It's been a great experience. I hope RainSoft gets optimized so that people don't have to plow through Culligan before they get to RainSoft's side. We went with Culligan at first but they said that they couldn't even put in our unit because we had copper pipe. They were too lazy to put in some PVC pipe.

    I wanted a better water quality for my family and I. We did the free water test and our experience was really good. We already had an off-brand water softener system, and the guy was able to show me what our water looked like through our normal tap as well as through the softener that we had, which wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best compared to what RainSoft had. That's what drove my wife and I to decide to go with them. We got the drinking filter as well. We set up an installation appointment and they were there within two days. It was fantastic, and we immediately noticed a difference in our drinking water. Our dishes are much cleaner too.

    I purchased a refrigerator from Home Depot, and it came with a water test. When the guy showed up and told me he was from RainSoft, I said, “Hey, I could tell you right now it's probably gonna test bad. All my faucet fixtures are turning white and have the limescale on them.” The guy did the water test and explained to me how it was, then I went from there and I was asking him the questions. There was no pressure during the visit, and it was all done and easy.

    Even before the water test, I had planned on eventually getting a water softener. I didn't know what brand or what type, but I ended up going with RainSoft. I had their system in my previous house, and I really enjoyed that one. I left my previous system there when I sold the house, and I didn't know how to get back with RainSoft until the guy showed up to do the water test and he was from that company. I had no idea he was from RainSoft until then. When he told me, I thought, “Oh, wow. Well, this is gonna be good.” I already knew what to expect from the product. RainSoft also told me that they would give me an email when it was time to change the filters on the system, then they would have to come and change them.

    After I installed the water softener, I waited about two weeks, then I cleaned all of the fixtures and removed all the limescale. The system has been installed for a couple of months, and there's not one speck of limescale on any of my fixtures. Before I got the water softener, I would have to clean the fixtures every month. Overall, I am very pleased with RainSoft, and I would recommend people to buy.

    I had a previous RainSoft system and when we moved, I decided to purchase from them again. I did the whole house, then I did the under-the-sink. The installers were pretty fast though they did the installation in two separate appointments. Then, everything was cleaned up. One-time, we lost water pressure on the drinking water.

    I already know that my water was hard. My wife worked at Home Depot and my brother has a softener from RainSoft. So, when the RainSoft rep came out and did the presentation, I was like, "Don't waste my time. Just explain to me which one you think I need with the number of people I have in my house and the size of my house." He was fairly okay with details. The quote was expensive, but I've purchased one myself from Home Depot and put it in myself and I wind up having problems with that a few years later. So, hopefully, I don't have any problems with this one. If I do, hopefully, I'll call RainSoft and they'll come out and take care of it. The system has a lifetime warranty. The installer was courteous and respectful. Our water now is like it's supposed to be. It's just there's a slimy-like feeling when you take a shower.

    We got a RainSoft water softener system for the whole house. We got a phone call from Home Depot initially, and we set up a consultation which was very quick and easy. We had the consultation the same day that we received the phone call. The interaction with the salespeople with RainSoft was good. As far as the installers, the original one was excellent. They were very responsive. Somebody had to come back because the system was leaking. The second guy wasn't as efficient, and he wasn't even as friendly as the first one. He ended up slicing one of our water line. There was water everywhere.

    We had to have our gardener come in and fix it back up. The original team also came back and found the problem because we were still seeing water around. The water line that had been sliced was patched up with electrical tape, and it didn't do diddly squat, but he was able to at least fix it temporarily. We're very happy with the RainSoft system, but we really weren't pleased with how it looks attached to our home. We have a brand new home, and the aesthetic of where they installed it and how it was installed wasn't very pleasing. So, we're not thrilled with that aspect because it does not look good.

    Sitting on my couch one late afternoon I received a knock at my door. A local representative presented herself professionally and personable regarding the purpose of her visit. I agreed to the free water test after a discussion regarding current status of the local water resources and provider. Less than a week after, I received a call from a very courteous customer service employee providing the results. After a very detailed conversation, I agreed to further investigation via in-home appointment with a sales representative. He spent almost two hours reviewing the results of my free water test and showing real time examples of my current water supplier's quality vs. the RainSoft product results. The difference was quite surprising and "eye-opening".

    Long story short, after all the very detailed and informative information and demonstrations by the sales representative, I agreed to installation of the relevant solution specific to my current issues and needs without any pressure to purchase any other additional solutions provided and offered. After agreeing to purchase their product solution, a technician was onsite NEXT DAY to install the system purchased.

    Once again, the technician was exceptionally professional and went above and beyond what he originally expected (installed an electrical outlet in the area I requested the system to be installed that previously didn't exist). Overall...I am absolutely satisfied with RainSoft throughout the entire process, most importantly, the improved difference it has made on my water system for all uses. Lastly, the lifetime warranty that also provides transfer of service to another property if you move is a huge benefit. Highly recommended!!!!

    We bought this system RainSoft in 2022, we have one for the entire home plus we bought another system for under the sink for Alkaline water. The system under sink did work for 2 month and stop coming out water from the faucet, we call the company for warranty and they said $215.00 for the visit plus $75.00 per every 30 minutes pass. I said to them that the system was new and had warranty but they said the warranty was only in parts not in service. If we do not pay what ever they want to charge for the service, labor, NO warranty. Now the system from outside is leaking water and we needed to turn it off. We paid around $8,000 dollars and the system do not work, inside or out. Not correct, this is a scammer, Next step is to sue them, call the news and check with the lemon.

    The presentation was great. It was very detailed, and the rep performed a water test on the spot and showed us what the quality of our water was and what the Rainsoft product would be able to do for us. The softening system we got has two components to it. One of them being just a big vat of salt, and the other one being where the water initially flows through and it's dispersed through our entire home. We also, along with that softening system, bought the reverse osmosis system for our drinking water. Our water tastes better, and when we bathe, we feel that our skin retains its natural oils. Rainsoft is rather expensive, but it's a good investment in our quality of life and overall health.

The price of the equipment could be cheaper, but at the same time, for everything that we got and the benefit, it's a good price.

We don't need laundry detergent in order to wash our clothes. We got the air filter for the AC unit as well. I'm on a CPAP machine, and we were thinking about the reverse osmosis system because then I ain't got to buy distilled water anymore. However, we didn't need that one. The reps said that the water filtration system from RainSoft lowers the pH balance so well that I can use regular tap water in my CPAP machine.

I was not a huge water drinker, but now, since we've gotten the unit, I got water bottles everywhere. Also before, when we took showers and baths, it felt harsh on the skin. With the new filter, my skin just feels better. As far as the unit goes, it lets you know when it's time to refill the salt basket.

    RainSoft Water Treatment Systems' rep was very thorough. He was very straightforward with all the information. Made sure that everything was accounted for when he talked about it. He was very in-depth with everything in his personal experience as well that he has had with RainSoft in his own home as well. It's a very adequate system for our home as far as servicing at least a family of four. But some things that were advertised were not as accurate. For example, it was mentioned that by going to a water softening, that it would remove any excessive scum lines related to toilet water as well as a residual scum found in your bathrooms. That was not true. We continued to have the same issue after the RainSoft.

    I didn't expect the installation of the additional faucet that we had. We had the additional faucet filtration system. I didn’t expect it to be such a large unit that would sit underneath my sink. So, it took up the majority of my space underneath the sink, which I did not expect for it to do, and I had to relocate all my stuff. But the upkeep has been okay so far. I still got plenty of salt in the bin for the machine to run on. Everything ha been reliable as far as staying powered on. Whenever it's powered off, it doesn't run, so everything free flows through it that can. Due to the hurricane we had recently, we had a bit of time when it had no power, so the water that came out was still clean. But longevity of the machine just concerned with power dips is the only thing. It's an overall good product.

    When you go to refer and look at it, make sure that you reviewed where you would like to put it, and have available time for whoever would come to talk to you so they could have the full same experience that we've had, which was a very good one. I hope that whoever wants a referral for this would have those kinds of things ready, because everybody's house is not the same.

I liked that not because I wouldn't understand it, but because I know that she was not out to con me with these big words.

    A typical contractor came in and put the water softener system in. Very friendly and explained everything to me. The water is softer and soaky. It's a big difference. When you have town water, there would be certain times of the year when it's hot outside, you have a lot of chlorine smell, which they have to do because they have to make sure there are no germs in the water. But our water has no chlorine.

    Response from RainSoft Water Treatment Systems
    All of RainSoft's UFII products are certified for contaminant removal by either the NSF, or WQA. The Ultrefiner II system has one of, if not, the most comprehensive certifications in the industry (NSF 42, 58, 401 and certified to CSA B483.1 standard).

    In order to maintain the quality of the filter and its ability to remove the contaminants that it has been tested for, we have to be sure replacement filters cannot be substituted by a cheaper, inferior product. The NSF/WQA testing/certification process is expensive and therefore the overall cost of these filters will be significantly higher than something customers can buy on line.
