The purpose of water softeners is to soften your home's water, removing hard water stains and scale buildup that can harm your home's appliances and pipes. That being said, there are many different types of water softeners you should be aware of to help you choose the right home water softener for your home.

NuvoH2O offers a citrus-based water softener that works to even out the pH levels of your water, preventing hard water buildup while preserving the good minerals that your body needs, such as calcium and magnesium.

Salt-Based Water Softeners (Traditional)

Most water softeners are salt-based simply due to the fact they have been around the longest. This type of water softener is also known as an ion-exchange water softener because it works by a resin inside the water filter that attracts the hard minerals in your water and replaces these with sodium ions. This type of water softener removes all of the hard water-causing minerals, but leaves everything else behind.

Salt-Free Water Softeners

Instead of removing the hard minerals from your water, a salt-free water softener neutralizes them, which prevents them from sticking together and forming hard water buildup. Here, you don't need to maintain the water softener with bags of salt. They are smaller, and they remove other impurities from the water, including bacteria and chemicals.

Reverse Osmosis Water Softeners

Reverse osmosis water softeners remove all of the hard water-causing minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, by forcing all the water through a membrane that then filters out substances on a microscopic level. With multiple filters, some reverse osmosis water softeners can remove most of the impurities in water, making them popular with homeowners.

Magnetic Water Softeners

A relatively new entrant in the water softening industry is magnetic water softeners. Similar to salt-free water softening systems, the hard water compounds are neutralized so that they don't bond together. Easy to install, you simply wrap these water softeners around your pipes, and the magnetic field attracts the compounds.

Citrus-Based Water Softeners

NuvoH2O's water softeners are citrus-based. They isolate the hard minerals so that they cannot form scale. This process (known as chelation) is eco-friendly and serves to keep the good minerals in your drinking water. NuvoH2O's unique water softening system also lowers the pH level of water, which further helps to reduce or eliminate scale buildup.
