Nuvoh20
NuvoH20 offers a water filtration system that helps to "sequester" (* see definition below) the hardness in your drinking water, but it is not a water softener. It does not remove the water hardness, inhibits or delays it from creating a chemical scale or film using "CitraChange" via a process of chelation (* see definition below). CitraCharge, the proprietary formula in NuvoH2O water softeners, uses a process known as chelation to bind and stabilize mineral ions naturally found in hard water. Since they're bound, those minerals also freely wash away from your body, hair, dishes, pipes, fixtures, and appliances. (Source: Nuvoho20.com) They also offer "Citra Charge" pods that help to remove chemical scale from household appliances.
Notes:
Sequester: to cause the hardness to temporarily stay in solution and not immediately create a chemical scale to eliminate a potential nuisance.
Chelation: To grab or to bind. Chelation is a type of bonding of ions and molecules to metal ions. It involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate ligand and a single central metal atom. These ligands are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents, or sequestering agents (Source: Wikipedia).
