A water softener is an essential household
appliance in hard water areas
The minerals in hard water clog up pipes with limescale, making your heating less efficient and reducing the lifespan of your appliances. It’s also the culprit for those unsightly marks on your surfaces, taps and showerhead, and it can even irritate sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Switch to softened water with a Harvey Water Softener and you’ll see, feel and taste the benefits every day. Our innovative softener uses market-leading technology to dissolve existing limescale build up and prevent any new scale damage, leaving you with sparkling clean kitchens and bathrooms, and saving you money on your bills and cleaning products. It will give your home a new lease of life and is a vital investment to protect your home and family

Harvey water softeners are designed to tackle hard water in the UK’s toughest areas
If you live in the areas shaded red, your household water supply is likely to be hard or very hard.
How a Harvey water softener works
- Ion exchange uses sodium from softener salt to attract hard water minerals
- Harmful deposits are trapped in a chamber of tiny resin beads then flushed away
- Beads regenerate automatically for optimal performance
Advanced Harvey technology makes softening simple
The HarveyArc water softener uses twin cylinder technology so that while one resin chamber is regenerating, the other continues softening. You get maximum benefit from soft water on tap 24/7.
The HarveyArc water softener is designed to be maintenance-free. It doesn’t need a power source. All you have to do is keep the salt topped up for continuous, effective water softening.
The HarveyArc water softener is compact and ergonomically designed. Fit one under the sink or in any convenient space near the mains water supply. Handy-sized Mini Curve Salt blocks are lighter in weight than standard blocks and easy to insert.
