Cleaner Drinking Water From Your Kitchen Faucet

The Ultrefiner Elite drinking water system gives Northeast Iowa homeowners purified water directly at the point of use by combining reverse osmosis with multi-stage carbon filtration. RainSoft of NE Iowa installs these systems for homeowners who want to improve the quality and taste of their drinking water without relying on bottled water. Our in-house team handles installation and ongoing service, giving you a local resource for your drinking water system long after installation.

The Ultrefiner Elite reduces 81 different chemicals and reduces Total PFAS by up to 99.95% based on documented RainSoft performance data. By combining multiple filtration stages, the system addresses a wide range of water quality concerns, including dissolved solids, chlorine taste and odor, and other contaminants that can affect drinking water.

For Northeast Iowa homeowners, water concerns vary by source. Rural households using private wells may want to test for concerns like nitrates, while municipal customers may be looking to improve taste, odor, and overall water quality. If PFAS is your primary concern, check out our PFAS filtration system.

How the Ultrefiner Elite Filters Your Drinking Water

A graphic depicting how the Ultrefiner Elite Drinking Water System works.

The Ultrefiner Elite uses a five-stage filtration process to improve drinking water quality at the faucet. Each stage serves a specific purpose, working together to reduce contaminants and improve taste.

Here’s how water moves through the system:

  • Inlet Valve: Controls water flow into the filtration system
  • Pre-Filter: Captures larger particles and sediment before water reaches the reverse osmosis membrane
  • Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Uses a semipermeable membrane to reduce dissolved solids and other contaminants
  • Storage Tank: Holds filtered water so it’s available when needed
  • Post-Filter: Final carbon filtration helps improve taste and remove remaining compounds affecting water quality

Reverse osmosis and carbon filtration work together throughout the process. Carbon filtration helps address taste and odor concerns, while the reverse osmosis membrane targets dissolved contaminants that standard filters may not reduce. The result is purified drinking water available directly from a dedicated kitchen faucet.

The system uses a three-filter configuration, making routine service straightforward. RainSoft of NE Iowa handles filter replacement and maintenance directly, so you have a local team familiar with your system when service is needed.

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.

Todd Davis

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.

Brent 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!
