Hard water carries minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Over time those minerals can leave scale on fixtures, inside pipes and in appliances like your water heater. Nuvo H2O systems are designed to help protect your plumbing and appliances from that scale.
What a Nuvo H2O system is
Nuvo H2O makes salt-free, whole-home water softening systems. According to NuvoH2O, here is how they work:
- Citrus-based formula. The systems use CitraCharge, NuvoH2O's citrus-based formula, in place of salt.
- Minerals stay in the water. Through a process called chelation, CitraCharge binds the hard mineral ions so they can't form scale. NuvoH2O says the calcium and magnesium stay in the water in a form that won't cause buildup.
- Prevents new scale and works on old scale. NuvoH2O says its systems prevent scale from forming and break down existing buildup over time.
- No salt, no electricity, no backflush. The systems don't use salt bags, don't need electricity and don't send wastewater down the drain. NuvoH2O also describes them as compact and easy to maintain.
- Cartridge changes instead of salt. The cartridge is typically replaced about every 6 months, depending on usage.
NuvoH2O offers softener-only systems and "Duo" and "Trio" systems that add filtration. It sizes its Manor line for larger homes and its Home line for homes under 1,500 square feet.

Nuvo H2O FAQs
What is a Nuvo H2O system?
Nuvo H2O makes salt-free whole-home water softening systems. They use CitraCharge, a citrus-based formula, to bind hard water minerals so they can't form scale on pipes, fixtures and appliances. Some models add filtration. Coastline Plumbing is a preferred installer for Nuvo H2O whole-house water systems.
Does Nuvo H2O remove the minerals from my water?
According to NuvoH2O, no. Its systems keep minerals such as calcium and magnesium in the water and change them into a form that won't cause scaling. A traditional salt-based softener removes those minerals through ion exchange. Ask us which approach fits your home when we assess your setup.
