Is it necessary to use the faucet included with the unit? Can I not connect it to the kitchen faucet?

It is not recommended that the filter be hooked up to kitchen faucet for several reasons: a) Potential of cross contamination from hot water b) Reduced water flow from kitchen faucet. The filter has microscopic pores through which not even bacteria can pass; so water flow is lower than a fully open kitchen faucet c) Reduced filter life: When the filtered water will be used for non-critical applications such as washing dishes, the filter life will be used up.

The faucet does not match my kitchen faucet. Can I use the system with another drinking water faucet?

Rainfresh offers a variety of designer faucets for use with our drinking water systems. You can buy these online and choose between brushed stainless, antique bronze, satin nickel, polished brass, bright nickel and black finish.

Can I install the unit myself or do I need a plumber?

The unit only requires basic DIY skills and most people complete installation in about an hour or so. If you are not comfortable with installation, we recommend hiring a plumber. Also, if you have a granite counter-top we strongly recommend getting a professional to drill a hole for the faucet.

Can I install the unit in my basement and run a tube to the kitchen faucet upstairs?

Yes you can do that provided the total length of the tube does not exceed 15 feet. You will also need to make sure that your water pressure is at least 50 psi or you may get a slow flow through your faucet.

What is the minimum working pressure required for this drinking water system?

The minimum working pressure is about 25 psi. As the pressure increases, the water flow through the faucet will also improve.

Does this drinking water system remove lead?

To remove >95% lead from your water, you simply need to replace the VC1+ pre-filter with model LR1 activated carbon filter cartridge.

Does this drinking water system remove fluoride?

Rainfresh Drinking Water System 2+ is a great product to make water safe to drink by removing bacteria, parasites and cysts from water in addition to some PFAS (forever chemicals), microplastics, pesticides, chlorine taste and odour. However, it does not reduce fluoride. To reduce fluoride from your drinking water, you can install Rainfresh Reverse Osmosis System which also reduces a variety of other dissolved contaminants such as sodium, barium, cadmium, copper, lead mercury, nitrates, cysts etc., in addition to chlorine, taste and odour.

Is this product “NSF certified”?

Yes all Rainfresh drinking water systems are certified to NSF/ANSI standards and also CSA B483.1 standards which is part of the Canadian plumbing code.
