Our installers are all trained to the highest standards and experienced in fitting water softeners in all of these situations.

Block salt
A Harvey™ Water Softener needs block salt to function, which needs to be replenished regularly. Harvey Bowden invented the block salt system, which makes topping up and storing salt as easy as possible.
- Convenient 8kg packs mean no heavy bags to struggle with
- A year’s supply takes up less space than a set of golf clubs on a trolley
- Typical usage is one block of salt per person per month
- The clear lid on our water softener makes it easy for you to check your salt
- The red line inside shows you when to re-fill or re-order. It’s easy to order here:
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 buildup 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. Find out more here.

The HVX
The Harvey™ Water Softener HVX model is our slightly larger block salt water softener. It’s particularly suitable for homes with 3-4 bathrooms or more, built to fit under the kitchen sink like our HV4 model.
It’s the most compact high capacity water softener ever designed, using the same twin cylinder design as the UK’s number one water softener. It has been built to satisfy the water demands of a larger modern home. The HVX doesn’t need any programming or regular maintenance, simply fill it up with block salt when it runs out.
The Big Blue
The Harvey™ Water Softener Big Blue model is a mains water softener and is the largest model we sell. It’s perfect for bigger homes and businesses, using the same unique twin cylinder design as our UK’s number one selling HV4. The twin cylinders ensure your home enjoys an uninterrupted supply of softened water.
The Big Blue fits to the mains water supply, even though larger than our standard twin cylinder models, it can still fit under the kitchen sink. This model needs tablet salt to function, it comes in 10kg and 25kg bags, which simply need to be replenished when it runs out. The salt is dropped into the top of the water softener.
