Raindance Softener with Iron Filter

I have very hard rusty scaly well water. Browsing the threads, I didn't see any mention of Raindance water softeners and whole house filters. Would one of you experts please read the info on this page and see what you think?

http://www.raindancewatersystems.com/ironeater.html

Here's what it does, in brief:
Quote:
The Iron Eater Is designed to soften your hard water as well as remove Iron, and Manganese.
# Removes up to 110 grains per gallon hardness (1,881 mg/l)
# Removes up to 25ppm (25mg/L) Iron ( Ferrous & Ferric).
# Removes 2ppm of manganese.


Now this one doesn't include H2S filtering like some of their others, but it appears to be reasonably priced, since evidently they always have some sort of sale/discount price.

Raindance has been in business 80 years and claims the Army and EPA and other government agencies, schools, Century 21, Coldwell Banker and other large organizations use Raindance, so it's not a flybynight company. Their web page design really needs help, though...ugh!

I like the idea of THIS unit since it has a powerful iron/manganese filter built in. Our other option is to stick with our rented Ecowater unit which isn't softening nearly enough and buy a separate iron filter for our horrible rusty water.

Any knowledgeable input will be greatly appreciated.

Really? No one knows anything about Raindance? Or is it just no one cares about such things over Christmas. Hope it's just bad timing.

I say no to you buying it.

They haven't been in business for 80 years, they have 80 years experience.

And saying they have such'nsuch as a customer doesn't mean they actually do or, that they bought the Iron Eater. Or how it worked for them if they did buy it.

They are way too much into marketing IMO plus....

They are combining softening and filtering in a softener which is no good regardless how good that may sound.

They are charging way too much at $1800-1945 for it.

They are using the Fleck 7000 which I stopped selling due to problems and excess water use with the variable brining.

Phyllis, RainDance has a decent selection of systems and they use Fleck valves - I use Fleck 2510 SE valves for my local clients.

The problem I have is that the company (RainDance) is based in CA and as with any online vendor - the customer is on her/his own once the system is drop shipped to your door.

I suggest you find a local dealer that uses the Fleck 2510 SE valve. You should look for a company that sells, installs and services the system.

I hope that helps - good luck.

Since you are in Illinois- check into Aqua systems. We just installed a softener and a reverse osmosis unit through them and we are really happy. Fair price on a very good unit and a 5 year service contract.
