mapWater Softeners from Chris West.

I supply and fit Harvey Water Softeners. I chose this softener because it is the best water softener available. I am not tied to any particular manufacturer so I can give a fairly balanced view of the products available. During the five years I have been fitting and researching water softeners on my client’s behalf as well as my own, I have not seen a product that can match the Harvey softener for results, reliability or overall life cycle cost.

Water Hardness

Hard water is water supplied to your home which contains Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium at quantities over 120ppm or parts per million. Water supplied in the Newbury, Thatcham and Berkshire areas is classified as hard or very hard. This water is generally at around 250ppm. For information on your water hardness and other water quality issues you can visit the Thames Water website. Click here
