CROWN Block Salt Softener vs Harvey's HV4, Minimax M3, Twintec S4

Harvey Water Softeners manufacture three brands of premium grade softeners, but how do these compare against the cheaper selling CROWN Block Salt Softener available online?

Let's take a look…

What is the Crown?

The Crown water softener is the very original block salt softener, made by Harvey Softeners after Harvey Bowden chose to abandon his distribution right to the Kinetico in the late 1990s. (see How Kinetico UK became Harvey Softeners)

Just like mobile phones have changed a lot since the late 1990s, so have softeners, and the 3 cutting edge technology softeners coming out of the factory today feature the best inflow rates, performance and efficiency and are 4th generation, whereas the Crown is 1st Generation.
