I could have moved on to a different supplier but I trust Nova and see no reason to change.
OK that's very good news since that's similar to the Express Water system The only thing the Express Water has in addition to that is a metal frame to keep everything more secure. That's an added bonus but i'm sure this new Nova system will work fine.

One other thing I forgot to mention, when changing the filters on my old Nova system, when I turned the water back on I could hear the filter canisters "creaking" a little as the pressure built up. Now with the new system, the Express Water filter housings are thicker so I don't hear that.

It would be really nice if Nova would give a discount to replace an old system that is showing signs of failure.
