Compare Pelican Carbon Series vs Other Filters


Our Customers Love It! Here is what Jack Bryd had to say: "We are thoroughly enjoying our Pelican system. We expect it to pay for itself relatively quickly, as we immediately stopped buying bottled water. Our showers also now are much more enjoyable and "feel" better. This is a great product, and I am amazed at how long the charcoal will last. The pre-filter changes are simple and not onerous. Installation was not particularly expensive, either.All in all, a wonderful decision. It's hard to imagine going back now. There is nothing like the freedom of simply turning the tap and getting great-tasting, safe water."

Savings of owning a Pelican Carbon Series Water Filtration System.

Pelican Carbon Series (Save $$$) versus Bottled Water (Waste $$$)
Installing a whole house filter is not just about having better tasting water and softer hair and skin. It is also about saving money and time. Many people currently go out and buy bottled water thinking its cleaner and better for you then tap water. The truth that has recently come to light is the fact that 24% of bottled water is nothing more then filtered tap water. Some even contain sodium in them from using a salt based water softener to "filter" the bottled water. Adding a whole house water filtration system from Pelican Water Technologies will save you thousands of dollars over the years. For as little as .09 cents a day you can have better tasting, filtered water from every tap in your house. No more plastic water bottles in our land fills and no more flushing your money down the toilet!

To give you an idea of savings, if you spent just $2.00 per day on bottled water over 10 years you would spend $7,300 dollars. If you purchased a Pelican Carbon Series Premium Whole House Filter and bottled your own you would save approximately 6,300 dollars. Now that’s saving you money! Not to mention the fact that you will have better than bottled water quality through out every tap in your home.


Damaging effects of chlorine in your water

Drinking chlorinated water
The main function of carbon filters is to remove the bad taste and smell from the drinking water. Carbon filters do not require a lot of maintenance, and with proper sediment filter changes and media changes, can provide the best tasting water. With improved taste, the filters also remove odor providing you with fresh tasting drinking water. They provide an excellent value for your money and definitely a better choice then bottled water.

Showering in chlorinated water
The steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 50 times the level of chemicals than tap water due to the fact that chlorine and most other chemicals vaporize much faster and at a lower temperature than water. Inhalation is a much more harmful means of exposure since the chlorine gas (chloroform) we inhale goes directly into our blood stream. When we drink contaminated water the toxins are partially filtered out by our kidneys and digestive system.

Chlorine in shower water also has a very negative cosmetic effect, robbing our skin and hair of moisture and elasticity, resulting in a less vibrant and youthful appearance. Anyone who has ever swam in a chlorinated pool can relate to the harsh effects that chlorine has on the skin and hair. What's surprising is that we commonly find higher levels of chlorine in our tap water than is recommended safe for swimming pools.

Cooking with chlorinated water
If you’ve ever cooked pasta in filtered water or made coffee or tea using filtered water you can definitely tell the difference. Chlorine is a chemical that is absorbed into your foods and make your sauces and hot drinks taste foul. All of the top restaurants, chefs and even coffee houses all use filtered water now so they can produce a quality product every time.




How it works in 90 seconds - Pelican Carbon Series Filter



Whole House Sediment Pre-Filter System
All Pelican Carbon Series Premium Whole House Water Filters come with a 5 micron pre-filter system that helps protect your new filter system and your home appliances from the damaging effects of sediment (dirt & debris) build up. The sediment in city or well water can clog faucets, damage appliances and even change the taste of your drinking water. The pre-filter system filters down to 20 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair or 5 microns in size.

Pelican Carbon Series System- Carbon Absorption Filtration
The Pelican Carbon Series Premium Whole House Water Filter utilizes the highest grade carbons available on the market which were designed/developed to significantly reduce chlorine, chloramines, sediment and/or particulate matter, tastes, odors and hundreds of potential chemicals that may be present in the water supply entering your home. View more WQA and EPA recommended uses for granular activated carbon.

The Pelican Carbon Series uses a granular activated carbon produced from coconut shell by a high temperature activation process under stringent quality control. It has a large surface area, high mechanical hardness, high pore volume and chemical stability.

In addition the Pelican Carbon Series utilizes Non-chemically impregnated activated carbon. It has been surface modified during manufacturing, to significantly enhance the carbons' capabilities for rapidly decomposing noxious compounds. The carbon media used also has a much higher surface areas than most other competitive brands on the market. This enables them to reduce larger quantities of other organic species which may be present in the system.

Upflow versus Downflow
The Pelican Carbon Series Systems are specially designed as an Up-Flow System that does not require any special process or instructions for replacing the media. Other Down-Flow Systems on the market do not allow for the media replacement as an option because the homeowner would have to have special knowledge or tools to complete the task. Many water filtration experts agree that down-flow systems often have channeling issues in the media making them less effective in filtering out chemicals in the water because the water is unable to reach the unexpired media.

Channeling is the process where small tunnels form in the media allowing water to flow in the same channel every time. Water always takes the path of least resistance. The Pelican Systems force the water in an Up-Flow direction up from the bottom of the tank in a swirling motion causing the carbon media to swirl. This motion allows the water to have maximum contact with the carbon media resulting in a very effective filtration process without the possibility of channeling. This is found to be the most effective design in whole house water filtration systems.

Green Water Filtration Technology & Beneficial Minerals

Replacement Media Vs Replacement Tank
It is important to understand how the carbon media inside the Pelican Carbon Series Systems works; Adsorption: the process by which matter (chemicals) adheres to the surface areas of a solid adsorbent material (carbon media). In laymans terms the chemicals in your water are absorbed into the carbon media on contact. The carbon media does not release any chemicals back into your water once they are absorbed. We offer the replacement media as a more cost effective and environmentally friendly approach. When it comes time to replace the media, you are not throwing away a tank, fittings, or having to try and dispose of a complete system. Not to mention the cost of hiring a plumber to remove the old tank and install the new one.

Some companies are trying to discourage this process and use tactics to scare the consumer in to thinking that they must buy a completely new system when the media expires; this is unnecessary and not very cost effective. The media is the fuel for the system (it’s like the gas in your car). If you had to replace your car every time you ran out of gas that would be crazy, the same goes for the filtration system. The tanks and fittings are designed for this specific application. The cost of the system does not only include the media inside the tank, it includes many factors: the tank, fittings, media, and labor to build, shipping, advertising, and overhead. The media inside the tank is only part of the cost of a complete system therefore you can not rate the effectiveness of the media based on the low cost to replace it.

Water waste
The Pelican Carbon Series Premium Whole House Filters use an up-flow design and do not waste any water while filtering the water for your entire home. While other systems use a down-flow design requiring them to backwash once or twice a week wasting 100-300 gallons of water each time they backwash. The fact is that we can not afford to waste one drop of water. Water is one the most important resources we have on earth.

Electricity
The Pelican Carbon Series Premium Whole House Filters eliminate the need for an electronic head for backwashing because of its up-flow design. No moving parts means less maintenance and no service calls for damaged moving parts that render the filter system unable to filter your water.



Minerals & Carbon Filtration

Minerals are a very important element in the water we drink and the foods we eat. Unlike RO (Reverse Osmosis) Systems, carbon filters do not remove trace beneficial minerals from your water. Its important to understand what those minerals are and how they affect your foods and your body when you drink them.

Calcium
Low dietary calcium intake can lead to osteoporosis. If calcium is not supplied in the diet, it can be withdrawn from the bones. The largest study ever conducted on calcium and kidney stones, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, and another published in 1997, showed that daily calcium intake above 850 mg was associated with decreased incidence of symptomatic kidney stones, Another benefit of leaving the calcium minerals in your water.

Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral that mitochondria (the tiny power generators in your cells) require to help your body produce energy. Most of us don't get enough magnesium because two common dietary habits leach magnesium from our bodies: too much dairy and too much salt. Thus another benefit of going salt free in your water conditioning.
