Weebles Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have got home today to find the plumber has fitted a Harveys dual flow water softener. The only specification in his quote was that it would be a water softener. We requested the mid range Harvey’s model so it would be big enough. He has gone with the trade range (Harvey’s Dualflow) which I have no problem with except he’s picked the base model, the aptly named dualflow, and on their website it states this is suitable for two bathrooms. We have four bathrooms. Any thoughts on whether this is fit for purpose or should be swapped for the larger capacity models. Aqua or big blue?

Jeremy Harris Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The flow rate of that model is the same as ours, 50 litres/minute. That's enough to run about 4 or 5 showers simultaneously, I think, as our shower runs at a bit under 10 litres/minute. Only thing to check is the size of the connecting pipes used. The flexible pipes supplied with our Harvey softener had a very small bore, so I swapped them for larger bore flexis, to improve the flow rate.

Weebles Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thanks @JSHarris Good to hear - we’ll see how it goes. The pipes look pretty big so maybe we’ll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
