Harvey-Bowden-in-the-70s

Our Journey began in the 70s

When Harvey Bowden moved from notoriously soft water area, Cornwall to a hard water area in Surrey. His wife Ann noticed limescale around the home that came at an unwanted cost. She purchased a water softener, but Harvey, who was a plumber at the time, didn’t install it. The oversized softener sat in the shed for months.

Harvey soon installed it and was amazed with the results. He even started selling water softeners himself, but he spent most of his time convincing customers that it was ok to cut a hole in their kitchen worktop so the tall water softener could stick through it. The UK market wasn’t suited to the large products, something smaller that fit under the kitchen sink was needed.

1988 - Optimised for the British Plumbing System

Harvey Bowden worked with an American company to bring a compact under-the-sink water softener to the UK market. The successful product allowed the business to move to its own factory in Old Woking, Surrey where it is still based today.

Harvey designed an improved and optimised water softener version for the British Plumbing System and the business kept growing.
