Rabb Water Systems is family owned and operated since 1951. We have six locations and service 27 counties in north central Indiana. Because of our long history and buying power, we are able to offer water treatment equipment to fit anyone's budget. We are the area's only authorized Kinetico Water Systems dealer. Kinetico is the only non-electric, twin tank, on demand water softener available. We are the experts when it comes to water treatment because water is all we do!
"Buyer beware** Was sold a water system under false pretenses by the sales rep Jake Faker. He knew I wanted to lower my current water system payment with a fully working system which with Raab’s system our monthly bill doubled with supplies needed to “maintain” their system. After several complaints of it working improperly I was told we were to blame for their system working subpar. We requested to have it removed and our requests were bypassed by a general manager, Rusty. He claimed they had the best system and we must’ve been doing something wrong almost as if I was imagining what I was concerned with (ie making my child take a bath in GRAY WATER w/ a terrible odor.) Now we have several appliances in our home failing from corrosion bc their system has never worked. This company will promise a lot to get you to sign on the dotted line then lack customer service and listen to what any company should go by: the customer is always right. My advice ask how much the water filters are, how much your electricity bill will increase, how many trips to their store to pick up product costs, how much the bill for service calls & parts that break costs, also how much your time is worth sitting on the phone for 20 minutes at a time trying to explain your concerns that are dismissed."

"It went very well! Tim came to the apartment and looked at the issue. He told me that he will place the order for the new and more efficient unit than the old boiler and install asap. Tim's crew came the following Monday to demolish the old boiler and installed the new boiler on the same day. The new boiler was up and running on the same day. It was a smooth startup!"

"LG&E replaced my gas line. Had to have a contractor come out and re light the furnace, stove and water heater. They found a leak in the house. I called every 24 hour plumber I could find in Louisville. Then I tried Becht/Givens. I received a follow up call in under 30 minutes. Anthony Owen was very patient with me, while I was panicked. He explained pricing from the simplest problem, to replacing the whole thing. He came out, found it to be a very simple issue, fixed it, re lit the water heater. All of this ....in less than 2 hours. I will always use these guys from here on out. Didn't try to stick me with unnecessary crap. Very respectful. And ...oh yeah....less than 100 bucks. Thank you."

"Buschur's is everything we wanted and more. They installed a geothermal system for us about 4 years ago, and we LOVE it. It was hard to believe their claims about its efficiency, how low our electric bill would be, but they were SPOT ON. Our electric bill hardly increased, and we used to heat with wood (that we cut and split ourselves - we're glad to be done with that ;-) )! They were very thorough and professional - HIGHLY recommend."

If your water softener is over 10 years old or if repair costs approach the price of a new unit, it might be time to replace it. Most water softeners last between 10 and 15 years. Replacing an aging unit can improve your water quality and help you avoid frequent repair costs. For a newer system with minor issues, repairing may be the best option. Consider the age and condition of your system to decide what's most cost-effective.
Water treatment systems remain dependable for 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance and care. A well-maintained system secures full performance by following a scheduled upkeep plan and professional inspections. Consistent maintenance guarantees continuous water purification, ensuring that the system operates at its peak efficiency and delivers high‑quality water throughout its lifespan.
Faulty water softeners exhibit clear symptoms that signal the need for immediate attention. Noticeable mineral build-up around faucets, discolored water, dry or itchy skin following a shower, and altered laundry texture indicate that the system is underperforming. Recognizing these issues early and addressing them promptly prevents further damage and maintains optimal water quality. Early intervention ensures that your water system continues to operate reliably and efficiently.
