WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION
Did you know that your skin absorbs water contaminants when you shower?
If you don't have a filter, you and your family can potentially be absorbing harmful chemicals such as chlorine and substances such as iron. Take advantage of our free in home water analysis to see if there are harmful substances in your water. After taking a look at your results we will work with you to determine the best filter system for your needs. See below for our whole house water filtration systems. By removing disinfectants from your water you can reap the benefits of:
-
Better tasting and smelling water
-
More hydrated skin
-
Protecting your plumbing and your family
Water softeners are used if you have hard water. Hard water means there are dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium, in your water. When hard water is mixed with heat, it causes scale which ruins your pipes, faucets, and shower heads requiring costly and reoccurring replacements.
Novo's water softeners are high efficiency and easy to maintain. Using precision brining calculations, the exact amount of brine that is required to regenerate is used. This saves up to 75% of salt that would normally be used. Upflow regeneration along with the backwash system saves water by matching back wash to water quality need. This means that clean municipal water that is not hard and does not need to go through this system, won't. Traditional softeners don't offer this option and waste water by softening water that is already safe. With Novo you can save up to 2000 gallons of water a year! Because this system is so efficient, you reap the benefits of lower operating costs and always having soft water for your family.
Novo's unique design saves space in your home and is more durable than comparable systems. Not to mention it has a sleek appliance-like design.
Features:
-
Automatic system flush prevents bacteria growth
-
Soft water immediate recharge
-
If you have a period with a spike is water usage, the system will automatically do a 20 minute recharge ensuring you always have soft water
-
-
Soft water refill keeps brine tank clean
Benefits:
-
Saves up to 2000 gallons of water a year compared to other softeners (64% less water)
-
Save up to 75% of salt you would normally use
-
Lower operating costs!
How do softeners work?
1. Raw water runs through a bed of sodium charged ion exchange resin
2. The hardness ions (calcium & magnesium) are exchanged with sodium ions
3. Eventually the resin contains only hardness minerals and has to be regenerated
4. The control valve monitors water usage and regenerates only when necessary
5. The resin is backwashed to rinse away impurities
6. A strong brine solution is then drawn through the bed and hardness ions exchange for the sodium ions
7. Hardness ions are then rinsed to the drain
8. The softener is now ready to soften again
The carbon filter is used to reduce chlorine, chloramines, and other bad tastes/odors. Chlorine is great for transporting water into your home and preventing contamination on its way there. However, once the water arrives at your home, it no longer serves a purpose.
Novo filters use Activated Coconut Carbon for its filters, as it is the best source of carbon for water filtration. A carbon filter's porous surface allows for a larger surface area to filter out contaminants. Coconut shell activated carbon has micro-pores. Because these pores are smaller than other sources of carbon, they are more effective in trapping contaminants, which are smaller molecules (1). This improves the taste and protects your health.
Benefits of Coconut Carbon Filter (1):
-
Micro-pores to trap small contaminant molecules

-
VOCs
-
Pesticides
-
Herbicides
-
Disinfection byproducts (THM)
-
Halogens
-
Chlorine (2)
-
Benzene (2)
-
Radon (2)
