Harvey Water Softeners - Prices / Cost REVEALED

Posts: 15 Forumite
To all MSE
I've gone through the process of having a Harvey water softener installed and it became apparent there was a lack of transparency and consistency in the prices they are charging.
Online searches were unfruitful, so this thread aims to do one thing:
REVEAL the cost you have been quoted for a Harvey Water Softener once a sales representative has been round
This will equip people to be better informed of the prices they should be paying and allow people to negotiate a better deal if their quoted price is too high.
Also, let us know if you were able to negotiate a discount either when the sales rep was round or after your 3 month trial.
TO CLARIFY:
We want 100% confirmed prices i.e. you have actually had a sales rep round and received a proper quote.
This will hopefully be a comprehensive list which will REVEAL the ranging prices we have received!
On the post you should include:
- What will be provided
- The price you have been quoted (inc. VAT)
- The area you are based
NO-NO's:
We do not want speculative prices nor do we want costs for other branded water sofetners.
This should be for Harvey Water Softeners ONLY.
I will start...
Provided: Water Softener, drinking water tap (inc. filter), installation
Price: £1,834.80
Area: North West London
