Installation of the Harvey Water Softener was great and fairly quick. The little hard water tap goes perfectly on our sink and so far does seem to be scaling up.
Day one we cleaned all the sinks in the house. Since then everything just looks like it is staying clean. Our steel sink isn't shining like new, but it certainly doesn't get water marks, which is fantastic. We only need to do a quick clean for germs.
The shower head is our next biggest benefit, all the small nozzles would clog up in a fortnight. It is not perfect, probably as the soft water is slowly clearing limescale from our hot water system, but it doesn't need attention.
The box and pipes has taken up a bit of space in the kitchen, but we are living with that and should be able to cut down on products no longer needed.
With 2 adults and a 1 year old in the house we are using less salt block than we were advised, which is good. We don't even notice when it is doing the flush cycles.
Guests at the house have commented on how nice the water feels. The hardest thing is to retrain my subconscious to use less soap.
