Safe and Pure: Ways to Purify Your Drinking Water
There’s nothing wrong with drinking tap water—the Safe Drinking Water Act as well as strict guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency makes sure it’s safe to drink. Still, there’s no way to know what’s in your water, and that might bother some people.
Of course, you can always buy bottled water, but there are easier and cheaper ways to get safe drinking water. RainSoft® of NE Iowa, your go-to company in the state for all your plumbing services needs, lists some of them below.
Boiling Water
The simplest way to make sure your tap water’s safe is to boil it for at least five to ten minutes. One drawback is that boiled water tastes flat, although adding a pinch of salt can improve its taste.
Using UV Water Filters
A quicker way to make sure your drinking water’s safe is to use a UV water filter. Ultraviolet light can kill the bacteria inhabiting drinking water.
A Word of Caution About Using Bleach and Iodine
Adding unscented chlorinated bleach or iodine tablets to water is another way to eliminate bacteria living in drinking water. However, they should only be used in emergencies—these chemicals can harm your health if they’re not used properly.
Installing a Commercial Filter
Most households prefer to install water purifiers or commercial filters. If you’re considering installing a water filtration system, make sure to pay attention to the specific contaminants each filter can remove. It’d be better if the system utilizes multiple technologies to remove contaminants. After all, each filtration method has its weaknesses.
For our clients, we recommend installing the Ultrefiner II System premium drinking water system. This filter system is built to military standards and certified by the NSF®, an independent testing body, so you can be sure drinking water supplied by this system is safe, pure, and free of contaminants. Plus, since the system only has three filters instead of the industry average of five, you’ll get to save on maintenance costs.

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!
