Device removing hardness (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
water softener
(Other definitions for water softener that I've seen before include "Remover of hardness (eg, from mains supply)" , "it can facilitate laundering operation" , "Substance aiding the production of suds" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
