SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
FIG. 1
The Nuvo Complete System has been shipped unassembled to insure that
the crucial connection between the systems is not damaged. Please be aware
that the bracket is specically designed for the NuvoH2O System housings; it
does not allow for additional leeway or “play” in assembly connection.
1 The NuvoH2O Softener and Filter functionality requires the correct ow direction.
The Carbon Filter rst lters the water and then the water is treated by the
softener. It will be necessary to connect these two systems. Please line up the
Filter and the Softener and orient the housings so that the lter “Out” port will
connect to the softener “In” port.
2 Connect the chosen ttings or adapter to each of the two systems. Because
space is limited, the connectors must t within the restricted space. Commonly
used types of connectors include a 1” x 1” MNPT Push-Fit connector on each
port with the appropriate connecting pipe (PEX, CPVC, or copper) or a 1” PEX
x 1” NPT male adapter on each port with PEX connecting the two systems.
Make sure all adapter connections are tight and leak-proof. DO NOT connect
the systems; just connect the chosen tting to each port.
3 Attach the connecting pipe (PEX, CPVC, or copper) to one of the ttings on one
of the housings. Before attaching the connecting pipe to the second housing,
line the two housings up in the proper order and place the Nuvo Complete
bracket on top of the two systems to guarantee proper placement. Slowly move
the two systems to the point where the bracket screw attachment holes match
the housing attachment
screw holes. This assures
that the connected system
heads will match up to
the mounting bracket.
Now nish attaching
the connector pipe
to each adapter.
4 Attach the mounting
bracket to the Housing
Heads and secure it
with the eight screws
provided.

NuvoH2O Cartridge Replacement
1 Before replacing your cartridge, we recommend having a towel on hand
and placing a bucket underneath your softener system.
2 After turning o the water to the system, press and hold the pressure relief
valve at the top of the head to relieve pressure in the cartridge chamber.
Note: It is normal for water and air from the cartridge chamber to escape
as the pressure is released.
3 Using the wrench that came with your system, turn the blue collar clockwise
(to the left) to loosen the housing from the head of the system. Carefully
disconnect the housing body from the head. Remember, the housing will
be heavy and full of water!
4 Remove the spent cartridge. Turn it upside down into a sink or tub and let it
drain completely. The outside of the cartridge can be rinsed with warm water.
CAUTION: The remaining CitraCharge Media in the cartridge is highly
concentrated. Do not drain the cartridge in a copper or natural stone sink
or tub, and do not let the waste water come in contact with carpet, ooring,
or concrete oors.
5 Clean the inside of the housing with dish soap, ½ teaspoon bleach, and water.
Rinse thoroughly.
6 Remove the plastic shrink wrap from your new cartridge and insert the cartridge
into the housing. The small, round holes on the side of the cartridge must be at
the top.
7 Inspect the O-ring that seals the housing to the head and ensure that it is seated
properly.
8 Place the housing directly under the head so that the collar may be re-tightened.
Tighten the collar by turning counterclockwise (right). Secure with wrench.
PLEASE NOTE: For maximum eciency, please do not use the system
immediately. Allow the new cartridge to remain in the housing with
minimal water ow for one hour.
