What is the difference between Pelican Natursoft and NuvoH2O salt-free water softener?
If you are currently considering purchasing a salt-free water softener, you are probably trying to choose between Pelican Natursoft or NuvoH2O. Both offer the same benefits but use different methods to reduce water hardness.
Both models of salt-free water softener provide the same positive results. It eliminates the need to use salt. No more spending money on big bags of salt and adding harmful salt water to the environment. You will no longer have high electric bills because they both use no electricity. Both extend the life of your pipes and appliances. Both forms do not cause a sticky or slippery feeling like water diluted with salt.
But they both differ when it comes to the method of reducing water hardness. Pelican Natursoft uses special media that makes the calcium carbonate in the water stick to it, eventually causing large calcium carbonate crystals to form on the media so they can no longer stay attached. These sub-micron crystals separate from the media, flow downstream, and attract and adhere to other calcium carbonates in the water. These tiny crystals are neutrally charged and are unable to stick to pipes or appliances. The pH of the water is not affected and it still contains the valuable minerals needed in our daily diet.
Nuvo H2O uses patented CitrCharge cell technology. This method uses food-safe citric acid to break down the calcium carbonate bonds to prevent flaking. A cartridge is used to filter the water and usually needs to be changed every 6 months.
Both brands offer guarantees for their salt-free water filtration models. Pelican Natursoft offers a 5-year manufacturer’s defect warranty and a 10-year manufacturer’s defect warranty including bypass valves, tank heads, and all filter housings. Nuvo H2O offers a 90-day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied and a lifetime warranty.
