3 Reasons to Stop Buying Bottled Water

Many households all around the U.S. use bottled water to stay hydrated. It is so common that entire aisles at the grocery store are full of drinking water conveniently packaged in plastic bottles. But is this really the smartest, most sustainable and cost-effective choice?

1. Bottled water can be contaminated. 

Most bottled water is perfectly safe, but the industry does not exactly have the perfect track record when it comes to purity and cleanliness. Algae, bacteria and chlorine are few of the contaminants that have been found in bottled water in the past. Remember to carefully consider the source of the things you purchase and ingest to remain safe and healthy.

2. You are spending too much money.

 A lot of people prefer bottled water because it is convenient. North America is the largest consumer of bottled water despite Mexico using the most per capita, according to research by Mintel. In fact, some estimates say that an average American spends around $100 on bottled water each year. As an alternative, you may install a RainSoft®drinking water system, including a water purifier and iron filters, in your home to significantly reduce your annual expenses.

3. Buying bottled water hurts the environment. 

Think of how many bottles of water you drink in a day. Since you need to replenish your water every now and then to remain hydrated, it causes unnecessary waste for the environment. Unfortunately, not all plastic bottles are recycled. The majority of plastic bottles still end up in landfills.

You can enhance the quality of your life by installing a premium drinking water system in your home. Turn to RainSoft of NE Iowa for the most reliable water treatment products backed by a lifetime warranty. Call us at (319) 346-3286, or fill out our contact form to set up an appointment.

What Our Customers Say

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!

Mike D.

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!!

Joan Wiuff

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!

Dorothy Sheldon

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!
