Heliotex\nhas dealt with the hard water issue in Southern California since its\ninception.&nbsp; We have tried many different\noptions, ranging from reverse osmosis units, water softeners and other types of\nfilters.&nbsp; We have finally found a solution\nfor hard water spotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The\nproblem in California is the changing mix of water sources.&nbsp; In Southern California alone, there are five\ndifferent water agencies.&nbsp; These agencies\nuse a mix of river water and ground water from wells.&nbsp; The more ground water, the harder the water\nnormally.&nbsp; The point here is that\nhardness levels can vary in a community, making it difficult to determine the\ncorrect mix of filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reverse\nOsmosis units are expensive and use a lot of water.&nbsp; Basically, one gallon of discharge for one\ngallon of water cleaned.&nbsp; Water softeners\nhave not been that effective.&nbsp; They also\ncome with the issue of discharge and constant refilling with bags of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Heliotex\nis now an authorized dealer for NUVO water systems.&nbsp; We have been testing the filters for two and\none-half years now, both on solar panels and in our homes.&nbsp; The results have been outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While\ndesigned primarily for home use to avoid the hard water spotting and etching of\ntoilets and sinks, we have found that the NUVO filter systems have worked\nbeautifully on solar panel arrays.&nbsp; We\nhave installed them on commercial and residential solar installations and the\nresults have been excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NUVO\noffers small and large filter systems, including the main citrus filter for the\nhard water as well as optional carbon and iron filters for home systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A\nreminder that new system owners (solar system installed in the same taxable\nyear at the Heliotex systems) are eligible for the current 26% tax credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please\nnote that the manufacturer is currently running a sale on the larger of the\nfilters, the Manor System.&nbsp; Between now\nand April 17, 2020 we can offer an additional $100.00 off the Manor size\nsystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please\ncontact Heliotex at 760-837-0390 if you would like more information about the\nNUVO filters.&nbsp; Existing maintenance\ncustomers can have their systems retrofitted with the NUVO filters.&nbsp; Note that these systems can be installed from\nthe exterior of the home where our Heliotex component box is located and does\nnot require any contact with the homeowner during this Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally!&nbsp;
