Frequently Asked Questions
How long has RainSoft been in business?
RainSoft has been manufacturing
and installing water treatment systems since 1953.
Isn't city and
most well water good enough without a RainSoft unit?
That depends on your standards of
"good enough." True, most communities meet Primary Drinking Water Standards. But
your water can still be loaded with impurities you can't taste or smell -
impurities that can be potentially harmful. RainSoft can take that water and
turn it into super-sudsing, great-tasting water that meets much stricter
standards.
My city
water system tests fine at the source. Why should I worry?
In the time that water leaves the
plant and arrives at your home, it can pick up substances that become a part of
the water you receive. Sediment and odours can also join the mixture. A RainSoft
system provides a highly effective barrier against these pollutants.
How does
a RainSoft water treatment system remove hardness?
 Hardness is removed by a process
called "ion exchange." Hardness-causing particles and debris are positively
charged. The water runs through RainSoft's resin system, which has millions of
negatively charged sites. As the water flows past these sites, calcium, rock,
iron, magnesium and other heavy metals attach to the sites and are "bumped off."
How much
sodium will be in my RainSoft water?
Very little, thanks to RainSoft's
patented regeneration system. In most cases, you'll find less sodium in a quart
of RainSoft water than in a slice of white bread. If your doctor recommends a
sodium-free diet, RainSoft's reverse osmosis drinking water unit can reduce the
total sodium content to near zero.
Is activated
carbon a safe method of filtration for drinking water?
Yes. Activated carbon filtration
is recommended by the EPA for use in municipal water treatment plants.
Will my
RainSoft unit alter the pH of my water?
No. However, if your pH needs
adjustment, we can recommend a suitable solution.
What if I
move?
You can exclude your RainSoft
unit from your mortgage or real estate contract and take it with you. Your
lifetime warranty is good all over the world. RainSoft's international dealer
network can help you reinstall your unit and provide you with service in most
locations.
How can I
calculate the return on my investment?
 Calculate this. You
won't have to buy or lug expensive bottled water. You'll use less soaps,
shampoos, detergents and household cleaners. Clothes will look brighter, whiter
and wear better. And because most mineral deposits are filtered out, your
expensive appliances will last longer. Best of all, your family's overall
quality of life will be improved - something you can't really put a price on.
