Product Description
Keep your dishwasher running like new and your dishes sparkling clean with the NuvoH2O Dishwasher System Replacement Cartridge. Using FDA-approved citric acid technology, this eco-friendly cartridge prevents hard water scale buildup throughout your entire dishwasher—from spray arms to heating elements to internal pipes—extending appliance life while delivering spotless, streak-free dishes every time.
Complete Dishwasher Protection
Hard water scale is the leading cause of dishwasher maintenance issues and premature failure. The NuvoH2O CitraCharge® Pro cartridge treats water as it enters your dishwasher, using the natural cleaning power of citric acid to prevent scale formation on heating elements, spray arms, pumps, and internal plumbing. This comprehensive protection keeps your dishwasher operating at peak efficiency while eliminating the cloudy film and spots that hard water leaves on dishes and glassware.
CitraCharge® Pro Technology
Unlike harsh chemical descalers or salt-based systems, the NuvoH2O cartridge uses FDA-approved citric acid to naturally soften water and prevent scale. This food-safe, environmentally friendly formula bonds to hard water minerals, preventing them from forming deposits while actively dissolving existing scale throughout your dishwasher. The result is cleaner dishes, better appliance performance, and years of extended service life—all without phosphates, salt, or harsh chemicals.
Treats Your Entire Dishwasher
Because the CitraCharge® Pro cartridge is installed on the incoming hot water line, it treats water before it enters your dishwasher. This means every component benefits from scale-free water: spray arms stay unclogged, heating elements operate efficiently, pumps run smoothly, and internal pipes remain clear. It's comprehensive protection that preserves the quality and extends the life of your entire appliance.

How It Works
The NuvoH2O cartridge installs on your dishwasher's hot water supply line under the sink. As water flows through the cartridge, FDA-approved citric acid conditions the water, binding to calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale. This treated water enters your dishwasher already conditioned, preventing scale formation on all internal components while actively chelating and removing existing deposits. Over time, you'll notice improved washing performance, cleaner dishes, and better appliance reliability.
