Dear Rainsoft Folks:

 

Okay, I'm a skeptic. I don't spend my money unless I'm absolutely convinced a product is worth it. So I'm thinking, "Go ahead, impress me."  Guess what?  I'm impressed!  This system has so many more benefits than I ever would have imagined.  And after I asked umpteen questions, the final clinchers in my decision were the lifetime guarantee, and that I can take it with me if I move, about as easy as moving a washing machine.

            The main reason I even thought about a water purification system was for my skin. I developed some nasty eczema about a year after moving to the Nashville area, and I've suffered with it now for about 7 years. After only a few weeks with pure water, it started to show signs of clearing up. I suspect the clearing is going to continue and, with a little luck, it'll go away almost completely. I figure it took it a year to develop, so it's not gonna go away over night. I used to joke that it must be something in the water. Turns out that's no joke!      

            Drinking Water: My next thought was that my water would taste better. And, you bet it does!  But add to that: (a) great mouth-feel (it's a wine thing), (b) much more refreshing, (c) feels much more hydrating. I can't say for sure, but it feels to me like my body actually metabolizes this water so much better. I've also lost a few pounds in just the first month. Several doctors have told me that part of my weight issues were from water weight. So, how come I’m not holding water so much any more, when I'm drinking more water because it tastes and feels so good? Without all those nasty chemicals, this water actually feels like it's cleaning the inside of my body (like water is supposed to). For real! Oh, and my alka-seltzer actually fizzes now. But, funny, it seems like I don't need it much any more.

            Allergies: I’m allergic to fragrances and standard soaps, so residue in my laundry and on my skin used to be a real problem. I’m also mildly allergic to chlorine. The chlorine levels in the tap water here are really high (I used to test it), especially in the summer. I had to filter each of my faucets and showers individually, and they still only got a little of it. Now, NO problem!!

Cooking: Everything does taste, smell, and look better.  Washed fruits and vegetables taste cleaner, cooked vegetables look brighter and taste better, delicately seasoned sauces are tastier and more fragrant, and my iced tea never tasted so good (not to mention awesome coffee)!  My tap water not only tasted bad but it smelled a little stinky. Who wants to cook with that? This water doesn't have a smell, except maybe like a faint trace of rain-washed air.

            Dishes:  Dishes come out squeaky clean and shiny, with no spots and no scratching (noticed it on a few new ones--old ones were already scratched).  The big thing is that there are no residues from soap or drying-agents. I sure didn't want to taste or ingest that residue, so I used to re-rinse all my dishes with Pur-filtered water before I'd use them. Don't need to now! I also have a stainless steel dishwasher, and the installer said that we had such hard water here that I should add citric acid powder every time to prevent corrosion. Otherwise, the little holes in the sprayer would become clogged in no time.  They won't now, and no more citric acid!

            Bathing: Showers and baths used to make me itch. Now, they're pure joy! This water just plain feels great, actually silky.  On top of that, it leaves me with softer, moister, cleaner skin, more even skin tone, healthier hair, shinier, fewer split ends, less static, etc. Now I can't wait for a long, hot soak in the tub.

            Laundry:  Rinses thoroughly/no residue, softer, less static, brighter, got some stains out that I couldn't even get with stain treatment. My first wash load with the new water felt and looked so good that I chose to re-rinse all my stuff (yes, ALL of it… big job but WELL worth it). I just couldn't stand that yucky residue on my skin any more. And you wouldn't believe all the suds I saw in my washing machine, coming out of supposedly "clean" clothes!

            Plumbing:  I have an older house with iron/lead composite plumbing. When I found out that this system removes lead, it was a major plus! Then they showed me how it actually helps dissolve hard-water corrosion in old pipes. Yessss! I also noticed that it keeps my toilets, sinks and tubs cleaner and brighter--no hard-water deposits, and they don't get that just-plain-dingy look. Chrome looks great too, and this water even removed some of the old stains from the old water. I have a feeling it'll help my septic system too, since there's no longer a steady stream of strong chlorine and chemicals killing off the beneficial bacteria. And, it'll probably start to break down any corrosion in that system, too.

            Dogs:  Okay… even my dogs like the water better. Yes, my old tap water was so bad that even my dogs didn't like it (and they'll drink out of mud puddles and toilets). They love the new stuff. I can't wait to bathe them in it!  Bet they'll be super-soft.

            Thanks, Rain Soft! I am in love with this system! It didn't take long to make me a total convert. I guess if I'm now a devotee of your system, that makes me a Rain Sof-tee :-)  And thank you to Amanda for the water tests and presentation. After only about five minutes, I could tell that she wasn't just a "salesman" but that she really, truly loved and believed in this system. Now I see why! As for this letter, all that was asked of me was to write down a few things I liked about the system. Well, I just kept noticing great things, so I wrote 'em all down! I don’t get paid for this 2-page epistle, and I rarely praise a product unless I’m really impressed. That’s just how much I love this system!

 

Thanks Again,
