Efficacy and Consumer Benefits Study
The Independent Consumer Benefits Study of nuvoH2O was conducted from 2011-
2012 in conjunction with, but not endorsed by, the Battelle Memorial Institute and
funded by nuvoH2O.

Figure 7. Phase II heaters displayed a decrease in time to steady state.
The study found that the NuvoH
2
O system can remove scale and restore efficiency. Of the water
heaters tested in Phase II, the majority displayed significant improvement, one showed little to no
improvement and one actually failed. This led Battelle to conclude that while the NuvoH
2
O system
will and does remove scale, the removal process cannot fix corrosion caused by scale and there will
be cases where the scale formation has progressed to a point where the NuvoH
2
O system will not
reverse or restore the appliance to pre-scale condition. A previous Battelle study indicated the point
of failure for gas tankless water heaters to be approximately 1.6 years equivalent field service
whereas Phase II of the NuvoH
2
O Consumer Benefit Study started with electric tankless water
heaters that had 2.2 years of equivalent field service. Certainly this study approached, if not
surpassed in some cases, the point at which the de-scaling benefits of the NuvoH
2
O System may no
longer be effective.
