If you’re currently considering buying a salt-free water softener, then you’re probably trying to decide between a Pelican Natursoft or the NuvoH2O. Both offer the same benefits but use different methods to reduce water hardness.

Both models of salt-free water softeners offer the same positive results. They eliminate the need for the use of salt. No more spending money on big bags of salt and adding harmful salt water to the environment. You will no longer have high electricity bills, since both do not use electricity. Both prolong the life of your pipes and appliances. Both models do not cause a slimy or slippery feeling like that of salt-softened water.

But both are different when it comes to the method of reducing water hardness. The Pelican Natursoft uses a special medium that causes the calcium carbonate in the water to stick to it, eventually forming large calcium carbonate crystals in the medium until it can no longer stick. These submicron crystals break off from the medium and flow downstream attracting and sticking to other calcium carbonates in the water. These tiny crystals are neutrally charged and cannot stick to pipes or appliances. The pH of the water is not affected and it still contains valuable minerals needed in our daily diet.

The Nuvo H2O uses its patented CitrCharge Cell technology. This method uses food-safe citric acid to break calcium carbonate bonds and prevent scaling. It uses a cartridge to filter the water and usually needs to be changed every 6 months.

Both brands offer warranties for their salt-free water softener 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. The Nuvo H2O offers a 90 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied and a lifetime warranty.
