Better Water Starts Here for Homes in Iowa City, IA
You notice water problems in the details: spots on dishes, buildup around faucets, strange tastes, or concerns about what is coming from the tap. RainSoft of NE Iowa helps Iowa City homeowners address these issues with water softeners and whole-home filtration systems designed for their specific water quality concerns. Serving the area since 1981, we provide in-house installation backed by a lifetime warranty.
What Iowa City Water Is Bringing Into Your Home
Hard water is one of the most common concerns for Iowa City homeowners. Calcium and magnesium minerals can leave scale on fixtures, cloud glassware, and build up inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. Over time, that buildup can affect appliance performance and everyday tasks like cleaning and laundry.
Water quality concerns can extend beyond hardness. Nitrates, PFAS, iron, sulfur odors, and unpleasant tastes are issues some Iowa City households want to address, especially those with private wells or concerns about drinking water. A water test can help identify what’s in your water and which treatment option makes the most sense.

RainSoft of NE Iowa addresses the full range of water quality concerns Iowa City households face, from whole-home softening to targeted filtration to point-of-use drinking water systems.

Whole-Home Water Softener Installation
Hard water damages appliances, fixtures, skin, and laundry. A whole-home water softener stops that damage at the source. RainSoft's EC5 and EC4 Water Conditioning Systems use ion-exchange technology to remove calcium and magnesium ions that cause scaling. Treated water reaches every tap, resulting in cleaner fixtures, longer-lasting appliances, and softer skin and hair.
Whole House Chemical Filtration
Iron, sulfur, and manganese can cause problems ranging from rotten-egg odors to rust stains on fixtures and laundry. The QRS Whole House Carbon Filtration System and EC5 Oxytech System intercept these contaminants before they reach your faucets, protecting the entire home. Learn more about our whole-home chemical filtration systems.
Drinking Water Systems
For the water your family drinks, point-of-use treatment provides extra confidence. The Ultrefiner Elite Drinking Water System uses reverse osmosis to remove dissolved solids and improve taste and odor. The UltreFlo Protect PFAS Filtration System targets PFAS compounds, which are a growing concern in Iowa's water sources. Learn more about our Drinking Water Systems.
Well Water Filtration
Rural and semi-rural properties on private wells face unique concerns including iron, bacteria, sediment, and nitrates that municipal treatment doesn't address. Our Well Water Filtration Systems are configured around your specific well water composition, addressing actual conditions rather than generic profiles.

Our Testimonials
We live a considerable distance away from the city where Rain Soft is located but have never had any problems with the system itself. We were proud to recommend it to our son when he brought the place from us. He has no problems as of this date. Thank you for your service!
Rainsoft is a great product that comes with great service. We feel it was an investment, but we feel it was worth it. We have the Ultrefiner Drinking Water System that we use for all of of water bottles on the go - they stay clean - no yellow or pink film…. The Water Conditioning System is efficient and we used about 6 bags of salt in the last year - active family of 2 with family stopping in. Would highly recommend Rainsoft.
We have been with Rain soft since 1999. We recently purchased a new softener and decided to stay with Rain soft because of their excellent service and quality of product. We have had the reverse osmosis system since the beginning and have also added the chlorine removal tank. We enjoy having the quality water that our system provides us with. Thanks to rain soft. Brent and Carla Whitlock.
Will make this short. Had some problem with our water softener. Had water on the floor. It would make all kinds of noise and the our water softness was inconsistent. Lucas came and took the time to fix it right! Our water softener has never worked this well. Be sure to let Lucas know much we appreciated his work!!
RainSoft has delivered excellent service and products since we installed a whole house water system more than 20 years ago. We recently replaced our refrigerator and RainSoft came the next day to connect the new water line for our ice/water. Prompt and friendly service!
Blake was awesome and the warranty on the products is very good. Blake took the time to replace all potential problem parts in the system at no additional charge. Living in the country with well water is hard on the system but I don’t know what I would do without it. Blake also had some extra bags of salt on hand to save us a trip. Very professional and obviously took pride in doing things right!
