Difficult to say
This citric acid granule system is in a small cabin on well water. As such, it goes months without use, the most recent example being five months since my previous visit, the existing cartridge sitting in the filter housing water for those five months. My gauge for the system's effectiveness is the single handle kitchen faucet diverter whose tiny orifices have historically clogged severely reducing water flow volume. After the five months of soaking in its cartridge housing water, flow rate was as good as it ever was and I elected not to change the filter.

I have had my NuvoH2O water softener system for over 8 years and it performs very well. Based on my water usage, I change the cartridge about every 6 months. It is easy to do and reliable. I also change my carbon water filter at the same time and together I can really notice a difference in the taste and feel of my water. Also, have not seen any scale on faucets & appliances since I installed this system.

My water softener has only been installed about a month, so it is somewhat difficult to tell how well it will perform with eliminating lime deposits. Judging by the drinking glasses removed from the dishwasher and the glass shower doors, I think it is making a different as spotting is much, much less. Only time will tell with the lime deposits.
I wish there was a way to tell when the cartridge needs replacing instead of blinding changing it every six months. Seems wasteful in households that use much less water than average. The downside is that you don't want to wait for the lime deposits to come back as that defeats the purpose of installing the softener in the first place.
I wish the design included an overflow hose to make it less messy to change out a cartridge. When the unit is placed in bypass, water temporarily escapes from around the cap. The instructions warn you of this escaping water, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who reads the instruction.

Instructions have changed over the last two years and a HOUR of flushing is required after installation to prevent residue in the water. The gasket needs to be replaced as well or the canister drips, but is only available from the NUVO company itself

Response from Product Expert at NuvoH2OFeb 7, 2024
We are sorry if some of the system maintenance requirements were not clear over the years. The cartridge instructions have stated for 5+ years that once the cartridge is installed, it should soak in the water with minimal or no water flow for about one hour. We do not recommend flushing for one hour as that is quite the opposite of what the cartridge needs in order to activate. Once the cartridge is installed in the system, water should be returned back to the system until the canister has been filled. At that point, the system should be bypassed so the cartridge can soak and activate in that water for about one hour without flowing water. This can be accomplished by bypassing the system itself while it soaks. After that time, the cartridge media has fully activated and is ready for use and the bypass can be turned off allowing the water to flow through the system and the home.
As far as the O-ring on the system housing, that does not need to be replaced every time a cartridge is replaced but it should be replaced about every other cartridge change to ensure a good seal and prevent leaks due to a worn out O-ring.

Easy to install. No slimy feeling as with salt. Didn’t like that HD raised the price @ $15. May start changing filter every 9 months instead of every 6 months.

Easy to install but completely shocked that this item cost almost $20.00 more than the last time we bought one. I thought parts made in the USA were supposed to be cheaper?! Not a good choice for people to buy whose only income is Social Security
