I have seen quite a few 2nd hand water softeners at about half the price they are new but am worried about the costs involved if the machine does not operate correctly.

 

Has anyone had a Harvey/Twinteck twin tank non electric and had to have it serviced and what cost involved?

I've had Harveys and TwinTec softeners and not had them serviced. They've been ok for up to around ten years old without being serviced. AIUI it's a pain refilling the cylinders with resin on that type compared to some others.

Thanks for the reply PeterStark, I'm just a bit nervous about buying a used machine as I have never used one before and have no idea what type of things can go wrong with them and the costs involved in fixing them.

 

I don't mind getting my hands dirty fixing/fiddling with stuff if things go wrong with machines so would try and do any servicing myself if need be.

 

Ah well I suppose that's what comes of buying second hand machines eh
