Hard Water and Skin Problems
In the water softener industry we often get approached by customers because they find their water irritates their skin. One of our suppliers has recently stepped up to help in research.
Check out the story.
Harvey Water Softeners donates cutting-edge £40k equipment to pioneering eczema research study.
Harvey Water Softeners is very proud to have donated a new spectrometer device worth £40,000 to a pioneering research study which could revolutionise our understanding of childhood eczema.
The handheld device was gifted to the Unit for Population-Based Dermatology Research at St John’s Institute of Dermatology, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London, led by Dr Carsten Flohr, Consultant Dermatologist and senior National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Fellow.
Dr Flohr’s team will be conducting a clinical trial to investigate the effect of hard water and skin care practices on the skin barrier of newborn babies and how this links in with the development of eczema.
The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer will be used in this study. Its infrared light source allows different wavelengths of energy to be absorbed or reflected when passed through a sample, giving a molecular ‘fingerprint’ spectrum and helping researchers to detect minuscule differences in soap residue on the skin. With eczema affecting an estimated 20 per cent of children and 7 per cent of adults in the UK, it’s hoped the FTIR device will help the research team to develop more effective preventative measures and treatments for this disabling skin condition.
Dr Carsten Flohr, Lead Researcher of the study, said, “This FTIR device will support our work significantly and we’re grateful to Harvey Water Softeners for this latest show of support. “Not only should the device improve the speed and accuracy of future research studies, but the data it gives our teams access to could lead to clearer insights into what drives the breakdown of the skin barrier in eczema.”
Harvey Bowden, founder of Harvey Water Softeners, said: “It’s exciting to be doing our bit to help with this potentially life-changing work. We’ve been helping people live with and alleviate skin conditions for forty years through our water softening products, so we know how a future of healthier skin would benefit everyone.
“We saw this as a unique opportunity to investigate what we’ve long suspected; that a higher soap residue left on the skin through exposure to hard water may contribute to the development of eczema in early life. If it gets us closer to solving the debilitating problem of eczema, the investment will have been worth every penny.”
The FTIR device works by measuring the reflection of light rays on a surface, allowing it to detect soap residue left on the skin after washing. Initial tests by Harvey Water Softeners at its Woking headquarters showed much higher concentrations of soap residue left after washing in hard water compared to softened water. Approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute, Harvey Water Softeners manufacturer’s the UK’s best-selling water softener. Founded in Surrey in 1978, it has been Thames Water’s chosen water softener affinity partner since 2012 and is fully approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS).

Salt free water treatment- A Tale of Woe
This customer showed us his taps after 6 months of having an expensive "salt free water softener"
This customer had been sold a salt free 'water softener' locally and after 6 months and four visits this was the state of his taps. A proper water softener fitted by us solved the problem.
Wasting Money Heating Scale?
If your pipes and hot water cylinder have scale in (they have) then you are wasting money. In Dorset scale grows very quickly and it acts like a layer of insulation making your boiler run harder and longer and costing money.
A water softener removes the calcium solving the problem plus any scale that has built up over the years will slowly dissolve and run down the drain, getting your system clean and effecient
Can hard water damage my pipe work?
Looking at this you can see water dripping out of a pump and creating a nice stalactite of calcium.
Imagine what the inside looks like!
Hard water scaled up water cylinder
This hot water cylinder was ten years old in sturminster Marshall. Look at all the scale.
The scale means that it was costing more to make hot water. In fact it was taking three times as long to fill the hot water cylinder every time the boiler went on.

How does living in Dorset effect your skin?
New study of demand for skincare treatments reveals link between hard water and the symptoms of eczema
The condition causes red, itchy, inflamed, cracked and sore skin and can be exacerbated by a number of factors, including stress, detergents, soaps and perfumes as well as diet and food
Survey found the demand for eczema products was in London, West Midlands and Essex - all areas with hard water
Lowest sales were found to be in Perthshire, Kinross, Rutland and Falkirk – all areas of soft water
NHS choices says water hardness can be a trigger for eczema as the excess minerals prevent foaming products from working properly, leading to increased usage which strips skin of natural oils
Eczema
Paula Beattie, consultant dermatologist and British Skin Foundation spokeswoman, said: 'There is increasing evidence that children living in areas with domestic hard water have an increased risk of eczema and more severe eczema especially if they have a genetically inherited tendency to dry skin.
Location is also thought to be vital when it comes to the health of your skin.
A new study has found a person's postcode could determine their risk of developing eczema - a painful skin complaint affecting one in five people.
Findings highlighted a direct correlation between hard water and demand for eczema cures.
In the last 18 months, demand for treatments was highest in London, with the West Midlands, Essex and Surrey also appearing in the top five.
Experts noted all are areas of very hard water.
Commenting on the findings of the 2009 Softened Water Eczema Trial, Tony Frost, from the UK Water Treatment Association, said: 'While this trial did not provide the supporting evidence expected, 66 per cent of home owner participants opted to purchase the water softener after the trial.
