We got a Kinetico softener (fits under sink), fitted by Simply Soft (Dartford). They run a flush after rinsing the filter units which Harvey’s don’t do. Harvey’s consequently can have an occasional salty taste). No power needed, £6 consumable salt blocks last a couple of weeks. We had it fitted just before the bathrooms were completely redone. Best thing since sliced bread - no limes ale build up at all, skin feels softer, more efficient laundry, dish washer, toiletries. We have a couple of un-softened supplies - drinking water to fridge dispenser and back garden tap. All else (including kitchen sink - so kettle and cooking) is softened. Cost about £1k, almost 18 months in and haven’t looked back.
