The NuvoH2O® Manor Softener System uses a revolutionary technology to lower the pH level of water based on the basic scientific process of ch-elation in which the mineral ions causing hard water, principally calcium and magnesium, are bound to the ch-elating agent in NuvoH2O’s FDA-approved, proprietary formulation, which keeps the minerals soluble and unable to cause hard water problems. The resulting water is soft and healthy for all of your household uses, including drinking, bathing, washing, and lawn and plant watering.
