Beware of RainSoft equipment warranty!
Complaint Rating:  70 % with 10 votes
I am writing to warn anyone looking to invest into a Rainsoft System, which is not cheap, to beware of leaving your equipment behind if you move. I have recently moved from a home which I installed the water system and air filter system which I paid $6,000 for. I had the system installed a year and a half before I moved. The reason I did not take the system was because the home I bought also had the system. Well two months after moving into our new home there was a problem with the water system. The technician said that the system would skip two of the cycles when he tested it. Said it would cost $1200.00 to replace the face plus labor. Because I am not the original owner of this system there is no warranty, so warranty does not follow the equipment!! I have spent so much money with this company and cannot believe I am having to face this issue now. Please beware of purchasing this system unless you are o.k. with there customer service. The price you will pay is not cheap!!

My family is in the process of purchasing this system and since we are going to be paying all that money for it i asked the rep if we would be able to take it with us if we decided to leave and he informed us that we could. When and if we decide to move i will still be taking the system with me even if there is already a system installed. If someone left the system in a home and they are moving chances are there is something wrong with their system. There should have been some way for you to gain your system back since you still had a warranty for the system.

I disagree with what the technician was telling the customer, the reason the system was skipping the two cycles was not the control panel but a tiny microswitch behind the control panel. You have to watch technicians as they work for commission and most don't know what they are talking about, I on the other hand am a veteran Rainsoft Technician that knows what he is talking about. It is a scam, they tell you at the beginning that it comes with a lifetime warranty, but what they don't tell you is that the warranty only covers certain parts that hardly ever go bad and the others are pro rated for 5 years and you pay 10% 1st year 20% 2nd year and soforth until the 5th year which is @ 50% of the replacement parts, you really have to watch out for yourself, keep focused on what they are telling you and keep notes that is what could help you in the end any questions shot away!

I can appreciate the problem you have with waranties that do not go very far. Whenever I see the word "lifetime" in the warranty information, RED FLAGS go up. Look for the big * and the fine print.

I have a Kinetico and the ten-year warranty is on all parts, not just some select parts. Moreover, when I take it with me to my new house (the water conditions are similar) the warranty continues. If I decided to leave it behind for the new owner, the warranty is transferred over for the remainder of the period. Pretty decent.

The new ROs work with the same deal. Even ten years on the MEMBRANE!

Hey pal, the warranty is to the PURCHASER.
Why is that so hard to grasp?

If the warranty could be transferred from person to person, the unit would have to be warranted for the next million years, or until mankind died out.

Wake up, and be reasonable.

you should have transferred your old system. they tell you UP FRONT that the warranty is NOT TRANSFERRABLE, but they will allow you to move the system.

this is not a complaint against rainsoft, but against you. i could see a complaint if they refused to permit the move and did not honor the warranty.
