When we moved in the water here (without filter) smelled like the local pool. The filter removed all that.

We don't have a water filtration . Does the salt used affect the water?

Nova's filtration system doesn't use salt. A water softener will use salt though.

Grace, here's a pic of the filters after 26,000 gallons of use.

this is only what can be seen there is a lot more removed than meets the eye.

Love my NOVA system. I am a country boy and have total dislike for city water taste and smell. I also use a Purewash system on my washer. Sediment would affect the system until I installed NOVA.

we would like to thanks to you for providing us this high-quality reverse osmosis system.
everyone should buy reverse osmosis filter

On the advice of someone who had the system over a year, i went with the whole house 3 filter system and i couldn't be happier! The main benefit i noticed right away was NO SPOTS on the shower doors. Hallelujah no more Squeegeeing of the see thru glass doors everytime i take a shower!! I following the instructions and ran the water thru the system as instructed i.e. faucets, dish and clothes washers and hot water to use all the old hot water in the tank. I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend this system!

Thank you for your recomendation

More than 100,000 cancer cases could be caused by contaminants in tap water, study finds

A toxic cocktail of chemicals found in U.S. drinking water could be the cause of more than 100,000 cases of cancer, a new study by the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG) found.

“The vast majority of community water systems meet legal standards,” said Olga Naidenko, Ph.D., EWG’s vice president for science investigations, in a press release.“Yet the latest research shows that contaminants present in the water at those concentrations – perfectly legal – can still harm human health.”

The study, published in the research journal Heliyon, conducted an assessment of 22 carcinogenic contaminants which meet national drinking water standards and found that a majority of the risk is due to arsenic, disinfection byproducts and radioactive contaminants. Overall, tap water exposure to the carcinogens studied leads to 105,887 cases of cancer in the U.S. over a statistical lifetime, or 70 years. This is the equivalent of four cancer cases per 10,000 people.

Luckily, use of a water filter decreases the risk of exposure to these contaminants.

Cancer risk assessments are standard for air quality evaluations under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the study is the first of its kind to perform a comprehensive cancer risk assessment of drinking water pollutants.

“Drinking water contains complex mixtures of contaminants, yet government agencies currently assess the health hazards of tap water pollutants one by one,” said Sydney Evans, science analyst and lead author of the paper, in a press release. “In the real world, people are exposed to combinations of chemicals, so it is important that we start to assess health impacts by looking at the combined effects of multiple pollutants.”

The study analyzed water quality profiles for 48,363 community water systems, which provide water for around 86 percent of U.S. homes. The other 14 percent rely on private wells for drinking water.

The study found that the risk is higher in the western part of the country, due to water scarcities faced there. “Drier conditions decrease water availability from surface water sources, concentrate contaminants in the existing water sources, and prompt communities to use groundwater resources even in areas where underlying aquifers may have higher levels of arsenic or radioactive chemicals,” it found. It also found that those who rely on public water sources in smaller communities are more at risk than in larger ones.

The study reiterated that most of the water they tested was in compliance with national drinking water standards. E.P.A. data show that only 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent of community water systems had serious violations from 2014 to 2017.

“We need to prioritize source water protection, to make sure that these contaminants don’t get into the drinking water supplies to begin with,” Naidenko concluded.

:eclipsee_gold_cup: Other than moving to The Villages The NOVA Filtration System would be the next best purchase that we have made. Fantastic. Getting ready for our first Filter Change. Great Product and Great People to deal with. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

I deleted my original post because it was my error. There's no problem with my Nova system at all. I was simply mistaken. My apologies to anyone who was misled by my post.

We'll check for you

I need to know how to use the water filter (nova H2O)
I am not interested in buying products. I have no money

NOVA is a no salt system

we had the NOVA system put in 3+ years ago, as did 2 cousins that also moved into
TV. We are all happy with it.
