Tonight I had a RainSoft salesman stop by. It has the lifetime warranty, the coupon program, the 5 year supply of soaps, a UV light for the air handler, to kill bacteria. All for 95.

I got suckered in and signed some paperwork. I have the option of cancelling within 3 business days, and started to do my research and see it’s very expensive in comparison.

I am wanting to know what is recommended as far as quality, warranty, price and on going costs for a full-house filtration/softener.

I have a skin condition and want to try to use less soaps. I also want to try my best to keep within my budget and make sure that I’m not buying something that is so over priced that it won’t get a return like some of the other systems available.

I’ve seen some reviews about Kinetico and Culligan but I’m not sure what people’s experiences have been with these and the return in comparison to RainSoft.

Would it be best to get a test by a separate, local company and if so, what should I test for?

Can you provide me come guidance?

I recently moved into a house with a Kinetico VX reverse osmosis water filter. The normal water is city water, and we also soften it, so it is fluoridated. I know RO removes fluoride, and I have a 2-month old and 2-year old. Given that the RO system also removes any dangerous chemicals, should I be using it even though it removes fluoride?

I am in the market for a water softener. I am looking at the La PURE filtration and conditioning system. I am hoping to connect with someone who actually has the system. How would you rate it compared to a Kinetico or Culligan water softener? Is it effective? Does it really condition water without salt? Any information would be helpful.

There's a lot of water that comes out of the whole house water filtration system when it cleans itself. Mine is made by Kinetico and it's comes with 2 filter tanks and 1 softener tank. Can I water plants with that water? It is safe for lawn and other plant life? I hate to see all that water go to waste.

Thanks
