NuvoH2O (Nuvo H2O) salt-free water softeners and replacement cartridges from an authorized dealer — Nuvo's own pricing with a price match, free shipping, and no sales tax outside Minnesota. Which system and cartridge do I need? See the guide below.
NuvoH2O (often written Nuvo H2O) conditions hard water with a citric-acid cartridge instead of salt and resin: no brine tank, no drain line, no electricity, and the healthy minerals stay in your water. It won't remove iron or bacteria and it isn't a filter — what it does is stop scale forming on fixtures, water heaters and appliances, which is what most city-water homeowners actually want from a softener. Aqua Home Supply is an authorized NuvoH2O dealer: Nuvo's own pricing with a price match if you find it lower, free shipping, and no sales tax outside Minnesota.
NuvoH2O sizes by home square footage. The Home series is rated for homes of 1,500 sq. ft. or less (cartridge good for about 20,000 gallons); the Manor series is for homes over 1,500 sq. ft. (about 50,000 gallons per cartridge, 1″ connections). Add Duo if you also want a second filter stage — taste, sediment, iron or chloramine — and Trio if you need two.
