Whole-home water systems

Nuvia whole-home systems treat your water where it enters the house, so every tap gets it. Filtration systems take out chlorine taste and sediment. Scale-protection systems change how hardness forms scale. Softening systems remove the hardness minerals where a salt-based unit is allowed. The free water analysis shows which job your water calls for.

  • Nuvia Filtro. A self-cleaning sediment filter, listed at up to 28 gallons per minute.

Scale protection, no salt

Softening, where a salt-based unit is allowed at your address

Some cities restrict salt-based units. The softeners page says which, and explains the salt-free and exchange-tank options.

What these systems do not do

A whole-home system does not give you reverse osmosis water, and a filter does not remove hardness. We sell these systems for taste, odor, sediment, hardness and scale. We do not make health claims about them.

Start with the free water analysis

The free water analysis is done at your tap. It looks at hardness, chlorine and total dissolved solids, and it is not a health screening. You see the numbers, then you pick the system that fits them.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between filtering, conditioning and softening?

Filtering takes out sediment and chlorine. Conditioning changes how hardness minerals form scale, but the minerals stay in the water. Softening removes the hardness minerals. They are different jobs, and some Nuvia systems combine two of them.

How do I know which system I need?

Start with what you notice and what your water has. Chlorine smell and taste points to filtration. Spots on glass and scale on fixtures point to hardness, and your city's published number says how hard it is. The free water analysis measures your own tap.

Can any of these systems be installed in any city?

Not salt-based softeners. Some cities and sewer agencies restrict them, and the rules depend on your address. The filtration and salt-free scale systems do not use salt or send brine to the drain.

Are these systems for drinking water?

Whole-home systems treat the water for the whole house, so the taste improves at every tap. For the water you drink and cook with, a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink goes a step further.

In this section

Whole-house water filtrationA whole-house filter treats your water where it enters the home, so every tap, shower and appliance gets it. It takes out sediment and the chlorine taste and smell, and some systems add scale protection, but it does not soften water and is not a reverse osmosis system. A free water analysis at your tap shows what you need.Water softeners and conditionersA softener removes the hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) from your water, which stops spots and most scale. A salt-free conditioner leaves the minerals in and only changes how scale forms. Some cities restrict salt-based units, and exchange tanks are a third route. A free water analysis at your tap shows your hardness.Reverse osmosis drinking waterA reverse osmosis system treats the water at one tap, usually the kitchen sink, by pushing it through a membrane that holds back dissolved minerals and salts. It is the step past a whole-house filter for drinking water, and it does not treat your shower or laundry. A free water analysis at your tap shows if you need it.ProductsNuvia sells whole-home water systems that treat the water where it enters the house, drinking-water systems that treat one tap, and portable air purifiers. Find your product below. If you are not sure which fits, start with the free water analysis at your tap and we will match a system to your water.Hard water by cityThis table lists the hardness each water agency published for its own customers, with a link to the report behind every number. It covers the Orange County and Inland Empire cities Nuvia Water has checked.Salt-free conditionersA salt-free water conditioner changes how hardness minerals form scale, so less builds up on pipes, heaters and fixtures. It does not remove the minerals, so spots on glass and film on shower doors continue. Whether it fits your home depends on your water, and a free water analysis at your tap shows the numbers.Tankless scale protectionScale forms on a tankless heater's heat exchanger every time hard water is heated, and the makers' own documents say damage from scale is not covered. Nuvia's Thermo Guard and Scale Shield are salt-free scale-protection systems. They slow scale and do not remove hardness, and they do not replace the maintenance your heater's manual calls for.
