    Moving? What Happens to Your Water Softener

    If you move, you can take your RainSoft water softener with you. RainSoft of the Wiregrass uninstalls the system, and an authorized RainSoft dealer near your new home can install it there. Installation at the new address is arranged and priced by that dealer, so ask before you move. If you are selling, settle in writing whether the system stays or goes. This matters for military families around Fort Novosel, Eglin Air Force Base, and Hurlburt Field who move often.

    You can take it with you. When you move, we uninstall your RainSoft system, and an authorized RainSoft dealer near your new home can install it there. The installation at the new address is arranged and priced by that dealer, so reach out early rather than the week before the truck arrives.

    Moving? What Happens to Your Water Softener

    The process is simple:

    • •Call us at (334) 308-2782 with your move date so we can schedule the uninstall.
    • •We disconnect and remove the system and restore your plumbing.
    • •Find an authorized RainSoft dealer near your new home and book the installation there.
    • •Have the new home's water tested, since water quality differs by location and the system should fit what that water needs.

    ℹ️ Did You Know? Pricing and scheduling for the installation at the new address belong to the dealer who does it. We do not promise terms for another dealer, so ask them directly.

    If You Are Selling Your Home

    A softener that is plumbed into the house can be considered part of it by default. If you plan to take it, say so in the listing and the sales contract so there is no surprise at closing. If you plan to leave it, that is a selling point to mention, and the next owner can contact us for service.

    Military Families: Fort Novosel, Eglin, and Hurlburt Field

    We serve many military families around Fort Novosel, Eglin Air Force Base, and Hurlburt Field. If you expect another PCS in a few years, a system that can move with you is worth thinking about. Tell us your timeline at the water test. We will explain what moving involves, and we will be straight with you if a system does not make sense for your situation.

    Before You Move: A Short Checklist

    • •Tell us your move date early
    • •Decide whether the system stays or goes, and put it in writing if you are selling
    • •Contact an authorized RainSoft dealer near your new home
    • •Test the new home's water before sizing anything
