RainSoft started in 1953 with two
employees selling one model of conditioner from these premises in Bensenville,
Illinois. Since then RainSoft has had
one business and one business only—providing the best possible water treatment
systems for homes like yours.
Today RainSoft, a division of Aquion Partners L.P., is an
international company with nearly 300 dealers in the United States and 24 other

toughest international manufacturing standards (ISO 9001:2000 certified) and
RainSoft products have been validated through a range of independent tests and
certification programmes.
Although relatively unknown in
the UK, RainSoft is a leading brand in water treatment in the U.S. and is
trusted by a host of well know companies such as those listed below:
RainSoft invests heavily in advertising and the RainSoft

be seen on America's favourite TV networks such as ABC, CBS and FOX. You'll also
find RainSoft in many of the top selling U.S. magazines like Better Homes, Good Housekeeping
and Woman's Day.
RainSoft and its worldwide
dealer network support many local and national organizations, such as :
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 litre
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.
Plus in many cases, a water
softener has been known to help sell a property as a result of its protection of
the hot water system and bathroom sanitaryware.
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.
