Softened water can make all the difference for eczema sufferers
The new HarveyArc water softener will soften your water and alleviate the effect hard water has on skin. The minerals in hard water can irritate and damage the skin’s natural barrier, and even worsen conditions such as eczema. Softened water is kinder to skin and doesn’t leave any mineral residue behind.

Can I drink softened water?
Softened water is perfectly safe to drink. There are a few precautionary exceptions (including for those on low sodium diets) but whether you want to or not is simply a matter of taste and preference. Salt is used in the softening process to clean and regenerate the resin that softens the water, but no salt gets into the water supply itself.
Many people choose to have a drinking water tap installed at the same time as their Harvey water softener to have a hard water supply to drink because they prefer the taste – this is standard in our installations. Alternatively, they add on a specialist tap and water filters to have delicious filtered drinking water or sparkling water on demand.
How does a water softener work?
Our water softener works by removing the calcium and magnesium in your water supply through the process of ion exchange. Your softener’s twin cylinders are filled with millions of microscopic sodium charged resin beads which will attract all of the calcium and magnesium and replace those with sodium, giving fully softened water. When the resin becomes exhausted, a regeneration will take place, flushing all of the calcium and magnesium from the resin using a concentrated brine solution (that’s where the salt in your softener comes in) to return the resin to its original state, ready for the next softening cycle.
Do I have to use the myHarvey app?
No. The Smart HarveyArc has a WiFi-enabled i-Lid that automatically monitors your salt levels and sends the data to the myHarvey app, but if you want to use the softener without the app that is fine. You’ll still get to enjoy market-leading softener technology and all of the benefits of softened water. Your installer can set it up for you either way, and you can decide to use the app at a later date if you want.
