Installation Guide
Welcome Congratulations on your purchase of the nuvoH2O water softener! Instead of using salt, nuvoH2O uses a proprietary citrus formulation (CitraCharge) to naturally soften and condition water. First designed for the food services industries in the early 1980’s, these products have been helping solve complex water problems for some of the nation’s largest businesses.
Fast, Easy Installation The nuvoH2O softener is one of the most installation-friendly softeners on the market. No drains, no electricity, no calibration. No additional plumbing is required for a soft-water loop because nuvoH2O doesn’t change the taste of your water; it is FDA approved and safe to drink. The built-in bypass makes cartridge replacement a snap without requiring additional shut-off valves.

CAUTION! Please Read All Instructions Before Beginning Installation 1 Softener MUST be installed vertically. 2 Verify that inflow and outflow lines are properly attached to inlet and outlet ports, as marked on Housing Head. 3 The brass inserts on the inlet and outlet ports provide stronger threading but can split or break when over-tightened. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 4 The O-ring in the Housing Body MUST be seated properly. See Basic Installation Steps for your system in this Guide for details.
INSTALLATION STEPS For Home System and Studio System Please read all instructions before beginning installation 1 Turn off main water supply line leading to proposed installation site. 2 Attach the Wall Mounting Panel horizontally (softener must hang vertically) to wall studs with screws provided. It is very important that the panel is attached to wall studs to allow for system weight and torque needed to adjust the system. Do not attach bottom right screw at this time.
Securely connect water supply line inlet & outlet to the nipples in the Housing Head. Softener functionality requires the correct water flow direction; make sure water supply inlet pipe is attached to the inlet port. (Note: Ports on Housing Head are marked “IN” and “OUT”). See FIG. 2 Ports are marked “IN” and “OUT” Cartridge must be inserted so holes are at the top. FIG. 2 8 Check that the O-ring is properly seated inside the Housing Body.
INSTALLATION STEPS For Manor System Please read all instructions before beginning installation 1 Turn off main water supply line leading to proposed installation site. 2 Using screws provided, attach the Wall Mounting Panel horizontally (softener must hang vertically) to wall studs through top left hole and top right hole of Wall Mounting Panel. 3 DO NOT REMOVE the Housing Head from the Housing Body for Installation Steps #4 through #6.
8 Attach the appropriate nipple (not included) securely into the ports on each side of the Housing Head. The inlet and outlet ports are tapered (NPT) and require thread seal tape or sealant compound to prevent leakage. Be very careful, as over-tightening the threading can split or break the port. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Pressure Relief Valve 9 Securely connect the water supply line inlet & outlet to the nipples in the Housing Head.
nuvoH2O Cartridge Replacement 1 Before replacing your cartridge, we recommend having a towel on hand and placing a bucket underneath your softener system. 2 HOME/STUDIO CARTRIDGE - Turn the black cap at the top of the unit to “By-Pass” using the wrench that came with your system. (The “By-Pass” option will allow water to continue to flow to the rest of your home while you replace the cartridge.) Turn until you hear a clicking sound – this will activate the pressure release valve.
