Is a Harvey Water Softener Worth the Cost?

When considering "Is a Harvey Water Softener worth the cost?" we recommend considering the following:

How long the system lasts and the warranty: warranty is a great indicator of product quality. The longer the guarantee from the manufacturer, the longer the product will last. But not all Harvey warranties are the same so it is worth double checking. The TwinTec S4 offers a warranty of 10 years for parts and 2 years for labour and can last 10-20 years.
How much is hard water costing you now? Hard water can show up as expensive cleaning products, dry hair and skin skin treatments, boiler repairs and breakdown charges, blocked pipe and tap repairs, washing machine, dishwasher and kettle breakdowns.
How much money can a water softener save? Reportedly anything from £400 - £1000 per year on household bills. Water softening not only makes your water silky and smooth, but it also means you can save money. You'll find you will need 50% less detergents and washing powders, 50% less showering products and less cleaning products. Not only that, but by protecting you appliances, boiler, pipes and taps - you'll save money on any hard water and limescale related issues. Soft water can also remove existing limescale. This means you may also find your hot water and heating becoming more efficient.
The other benefits: Soft water is great for your hair and skin. Many consumers buy a water softener for eczema, acne and other dry skin conditions. What's more, it works better than a simple shower filter - because it's a permanently solution that lasts up to 10 years. Not only that, but you'll find a great lather and bubbles when you have a bath or shower.
