To Our Valued Customers: 
RainDance Water Systems is a leading water treatment company providing water treatment solutions, information, and technical support for our filtration water treatment products and equipment. Many websites claim to be water treatment "specialists" and offer filters at "rock bottom wholesale prices", however, we have discovered that very few water treatment companies have the knowledge, ability, or the equipment selection to effectively treat your water problems.

RainDance Water Systems has become a stable and reliable name in the water treatment industry. We take great measures to assure our customers the best quality, dependability, service, reliability and offer our extended warranties at no extra cost. Your initial and ongoing satisfaction is extremely important to us.

If you refuse delivery because the carrier cannot accommodate your driveway you will be responsible for any additional freight costs to return or redirect the shipment.

RainDance Water Systems Hassle-Free Guarantee

RainDance Water Systems is confident in the knowledge of our water treatment professionals and our reliable water treatment systems, so we proudly guarantee that our water treatment equipment, if applied and maintained properly, will perform as well as we advertise it. Every system we offer includes operating parameters listed as minimum/maximum flow rate (gpm) & pressure (psi), electrical requirements, and contaminant restrictions. As long as our customers are within the operating parameters of the system they're interested in, they're guaranteed filtration performance as advertised.

With over two decades of hands-on experience in the water treatment business, our specialists at RainDance Water Systems can use one hand to count the number of reasons why our system may not be working for you. The most common and easily fixed issues are improper installation, programming, or maintenance, which can swiftly and skillfully be solved by a RainDance Tech Representative.

Private wells and ground water sources can vary drastically, even if the wells are in the same neighborhood. That's why any water treatment company should have a hands-on approach when recommending water treatment by requiring and testing a water sample. With a current water sample or analysis, RainDance can offer our customers the assurance that a system will or won't work for them. Once you install your new system and you notice the filter is not performing as advertised, a RainDance Tech Rep will take every measure to get your system running smoothly.

We know that your water system is a valuable part of your home or business and it hurts when it is out of production. Our knowledgeable staff will work diligently to troubleshoot and fix your system with little down time, and in the event we find an item needs replacement, we also offer expedited shipping on many replacement items to get your system back up and running as soon as possible.

    RainDance Water Systems Tech Support

     

    Free Tech Support:

    We pride ourselves on providing efficient, effective, and free technical support. We work hard to find a balance between providing thorough, expedient, considerate support and ensuring that our support remains free. These policies are designed to respect your time, the time of our tech support staff, and your investment in your new water filtration system.


    Technical and Installation Support Available:

    For years the name RainDance Water Systems has been synonymous with quality and reliability. In our efforts to provide you with world-class products and services, all water conditioners, softeners, well water filters, and reverse osmosis systems must pass a final inspection to insure that you receive the highest quality product. We also offer a wide array of technical support options. Once you have purchased your water treatment system(s), we will provide you with the information to connect directly with our tech support team through multiple communication channels to suit your needs. For your convenience we also offer our online Technical Support Form.


    Attention to well water customers: In our website and through contact with our sales and customer service personnel, every effort humanly possible is expended to provide you with the proper product for your water treatment needs. We offer a free water laboratory service and provide an engineering consultant to review our laboratory results or a current water analysis report if you have one available.

    We feel obliged to let you know that water chemistry does change from time to time especially in arid and developing areas. Also, a water analysis report sent to us may identify a compound such as iron but not mention its form. Iron exists in at least four (4) forms and each one must be treated differently. The form that iron has one month may morph the next to something requiring new settings or even additional equipment. Other things in the water such as pH, hardness, color, bacterial level, total dissolved solids, manganese and odor also change.

    By providing as much information as possible at the time of purchase, we solve your water problem at least 99% of the time. If something changes, we are there to assist you with adjustments and to provide the items necessary to account for the changes. We do not, however, accept the return of any equipment for reasons other than proven freight damages or a major component failure that our engineers feel are best handled by equipment replacement. Our warranty is as good if not better than any in the industry and your ability to obtain post sale advice and assistance is unparalleled. We are committed to a long term working relationship with each and every customer from the time of purchase.
