Harvey Water Softeners - Prices / Cost REVEALED

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.
