A water softener unit is usually fitted under the kitchen sink, our installation experts will recommend a convenient solution for you and your home. Other common locations include:

• the garage
• the loft
• on an outside wall
• utility room

Our installers are all trained to the highest standards and experienced in fitting water softeners in all of these situations. Installation is a fairly simple process – a little more complex than a washing machine, but much simpler than having a new boiler fitted. It usually takes no more than half a day, though our plumbers never rush – we make sure they have time to do a good, robust and tidy job.

A Harvey™ Water Softener needs salt to function. The salt is used to make a brine solution that cleans the resin in your softener to enable it to continue to trap minerals that cause limescale around your home. To date, our softeners have used block salt, invented by Harvey to make topping up easy.

Today, our new HarveyArc™ Water softener uses the patented Mini Curve salt. A unique curved block that is even easier to use, lighter to handle and fits neatly into your softener.

• Mini curved salt comes in light and convenient 4.25kg packs
• Salt usage depends how much water you mostly use, but a good guide is around one pack per person per month
• The transparent lid makes is easy to see when your salt is running low
• Simply top it up when you have space for another block.

How water softeners work

Water softening is the removal of magnesium and calcium minerals from your water supply through a process of ion-exchange. The softened water that’s then produced is kinder to skin, doesn’t leave limescale build-up on pipes, appliances or any surfaces around your home; meaning it shines for longer.

At the heart of a water softener system are two cylinders containing resin. Millions of microscopic beads trap hardness minerals, softening the water as it enters your home. The resin requires regular cleaning (regeneration), which is a process a water softener performs automatically. This regeneration uses block salt, which is manually topped up when needed.

The Harvey™ Water Softener has unique features that give you softened water everyday.
