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."

Pelican Water Technologies - Leaders in Salt Free Softening & Filtration Technology!

The Pelican NaturSoft system utilizes a commercial grade media granule, offering you superior performance and unlimited lifespan. Over the years Pelican Natursoft systems have been installed in thousands of residential and commercial applications with some larger commercial systems having used in excess of 250 million gallons without needing replacement. That is performance unmatched on the market today!

The PC600 Premium Whole House Water Filter utilizes a multi stage filtration process to filter the water going into your home. The Pelican carbon series uses the highest grade carbons available on the market. The Pelican carbon series offers an up-flow design, eliminating the need for backwashing or drain line, simplifying the installation and eliminating water waste. Pelican also allows you to change the media rather than the entire system every 5 years, saving you money and helping the environment.

Savings of owning a Pelican Combo Series Water Filtration & Softening System.

Pelican Combo 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.

Saving Your Appliances
The most important investment you make in your home are your appliances. Why not protect those investments from the damaging effects of hard water and save money on costly repairs! Repairs can cost you hundreds of dollars every year due to hard water damage. Protecting your appliances will keep them running longer and more efficient without needless repair costs. To repair your ice maker in the fridge from hard water damage costs $230 for a repairman! A hot water heater, if protected can save you up to $30 a month in water heating by keeping scale buildup off the heating element, making it more efficient. Not protecting your water heater could cost you $300-$1,000 to replace! You also save the yearly plumbers visit for clogged shower heads, minor appliance repairs or clogged pipes which will save you up to $500/ year!

The Pelican NaturSoft system is designed to protect your plumbing from the damaging effects of hard water up to 75 grains per gallon of hardness (over 1,200 mg/L). Unlike the Pelican NaturSoft system, other similar systems fall short requiring the media to be replaced every 5 years and have a limited hardness rating of only 25 grains. Hard Water Map

How the combo series works

How it works in 3 minutes - Pelican Combo Series Filter & Softener



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 area than most other competitive brands on the market. This enables them to reduce larger quantities of other organic species which may be present in your water.

Pelican NaturSoft Salt Free System- Physical Water Treatment
The NaturSoft media has calcium carbonate crystal structures on its surface that will attract excess dissolved hardness and remove it from solution by integrating it into the crystal structures on the media. This results in the crystals on the media surface to grow larger. The movement of water and friction among the individual media granules rubbing against each other will cause fragments of these newly grown crystal structures to be fragmented off the media and released into the passing water.

Those free flowing calcium carbonate crystals then continue to travel through your plumbing system as suspended particles where they perform the same role as the media in the NaturSoft system itself, i.e. acting as seed crystals further buffering the effects of any changes in the scale potential of the water downstream by absorbing excess mineral into their structure and themselves spawning the creation of additional micro crystals.

Upflow versus Downflow
The Pelican Carbon Series Whole House Water Filter 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.

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 lemans 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 Combo Series Whole House Filter & Salt Free Softener use an up-flow design and do not waste any water while treating 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 Combo Series Whole House Filter and Salt Free Softener 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.



Green Water Softening Technology & Beneficial Minerals

The Pelican NaturSoft system utilizes the most environmentally friendly water softening technology, eliminating the harmful effects of hard water scale without the use of salt or harmful brine discharge into the environment. Pelican's advanced salt free water softening and conditioning technology leaves the beneficial minerals in your water and keeps the pH balanced. According to a recent World Health Organization (WHO) study on the health risks of drinking chemically softened and/or de-mineralized water, it was concluded that calcium and magnesium are essential minerals for your body. Read full WHO report.

NaturSoft water is naturally softened water. That means all the calcium and magnesium minerals are left in your water to maintain the waters pH balance. Minerals are a very important element in the water we drink and the foods we eat.

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.

Recommendations

If you have Multi-Headed Body Sprayers in your shower you may need a high flow system to accommodate the high volume of water needed to operate the shower system. Since the flow rate on each type of system can vary, please contact sales at 866-767-6401 or email us to ensure the proper system is sized for your needs.

If you have a tankless hot water heater we recommend a 10 Micron Hot Water Post-Filter System to be installed just after the water heater.

If you get red or orange staining (rust color) from your water, you may be interested in our Pelican WF6 Complete Water System to help soften your water and solve your staining issues with no salt!

If you are on a well and have a rotten egg smell, you will want to look at our Chlorine Injection Systems for Sulfur.

Pelican Water Technologies NaturSoft Systems are WQA Certified to NSF Standard 61 for material safety and NSF 42 for structural integrity.

About the Water Quality Association (WQA)
The Water Quality Association (WQA) is a not-for-profit international trade association representing the residential, commercial, industrial, and small community water treatment industry. WQA maintains a close dialogue with other organizations representing different aspects of the water industry in order to best serve consumers, government officials, and industry members. WQA is a resource and information source, a voice for the industry, an educator for professionals, a laboratory for product testing, and a communicator to the public.

About the WQA Gold Seal Certification Program
The Water Quality Association's Gold Seal Certification Program is dedicated to providing public health and safety services throughout the USA and globally, while maintaining expert service, superior reputation, and fair pricing. The Gold Seal Program offers certification of all products and chemicals that contact drinking water.

Pelican Water Technologies NaturSoft Systems are third-party tested through a DVGW certified lab to DVGW W 512 standards for the prevention of scale buildup.

About the DVGW
The DVGW is an organization that establishes standards and test protocols. It also approves or certifies laboratories to then conduct testing according to those standards and protocols. The same can be said for NSF in the US.

The DVGW is located in Bonn, Germany. It has its own laboratory by the name of TZW located in Karlruhe, Germany. Beyond that, the DVGW has certified some twenty plus privately owned laboratories throughout central Europe who are authorized to conduct certification testing. The same holds true for NSF. It has its own laboratory and those certified by NSF like WQA, UL and Pace Laboratories to name a few.

The DVGW also issues test marks or certifications (i.e. the WQA equivalent of a "Gold Seal") like the "W510" standard. Their internal code for the W510 certification is "9191 - Kalkschutzanlage" (scale protection device). In order to obtain the W510 certification seal or certification mark, the applicant has to pass a total of three test protocols: Efficacy (W512), material safety and structural integrity. We have fulfilled the W512 requirements and have also fulfilled the material safety and structural integrity requirements with our WQA certification.

Relating it to the US equivalent, for example a NSF 42 certification for a carbon filter has three components to it: 1) Structural Integrity NSF/ANSI 42-2007a, 2) Material Safety NSF/ANSI 61-2007a Toxicological Extraction, and 3) NSF/ANSI 42-2007a Aesthetic Effects.

About the DVGW W 512 Standard
The DVGW W 512 standard is the most stringent of its type in the world. In order to be subjected to the most rigorous test standard possible, sparing no expense, we have commissioned to have our equipment performance not tested in the US , but tested by a DVGW certified laboratory in the home country of the standard itself, Germany. The test aims to simulate real life conditions over an exceptionally long period of time using some extremely challenging natural well water.

Third Party Certification and What it means
True in both Europe and the US, a certification is a pass/fail proposition. The certification states that the applicant has passed and fulfilled the requirements of the standard. Individual test results are not published in either jurisdiction. Our test certificate (Pruefzeugnis) states that the Pelican NaturSoft System has been tested and fulfilled the requirements of the W512.Furthermore, it also states that the W512 in a certificate of efficacy only and is not a certification seal or mark issued by the DVGW (i.e. it makes the distinction between a certificate and a certification): "This proof of effectiveness alone as documented with this test certificate is not sufficient to obtain a DVGW Test Mark".

That is standard verbiage that is required to appear on any W512 certificate.In summary, Pelican NaturSoft Systems hold a WQA Certification to NSF 61 for material safety and 42 for structural integrity as well as a certificate of efficacy based on the DVGW W512 protocol since there currently is no corresponding US standard.

That Tap Water Is Legal but May Be Unhealthy

A bottled water ban in S.F.?

Millions in U.S. Drink Dirty Water, Records Show
Does the Pelican Combo Series PSE1800 pre-filter system remove COPEPODS from the water?
Yes. Since COPEPODES range from 30 microns to 50 microns in size, the supplied 5-micron pre-filter will remove the COPEPODS. This method of COPEPODS filtration is approved based on the article found at http:/www.oukosher.org.

How easy is it to install the Pelican Combo Series PSE1800 Premium Whole House Water System?
The Pelican PSE1800 will be shipped pre-assembled (the tank comes pre-loaded) and Ready-To-Install which greatly simplifies the installation process and also reduces installation cost and time. Detailed installation instructions and supplied fittings make it easy to understand and install the filter system. Also, you or your plumber may contact our knowledgeable Customer Service Technicians for further assistance during the installation if necessary. 1-866-767-6401

What is the cost to maintain the Pelican Combo Series?
The cost to replace the media for the Pelican Carbon PC600 is currently only $156.00 including free shipping. Replacing the carbon media instead of the tank makes the replacement process simple and very cost effective. No replacement is required on the NaturSoft tank.

What is the blue housing installed before the system for?
Every system Pelican offers comes with a 10" 5 micron sediment filter system. This sediment filter is used to keep sand and sediment away from your system and your home. You will change the filter every 6-9 months, depending on sediment levels. The prefilter will let you know its time to change it when you notice a slight drop in water pressure meaning the filter is full.

What makes NaturSoft different from similar technologies?
Unlike other systems on the market, the NaturSoft systems requires only 3 seconds of contact with the water, while the others require 9 seconds or more. The Pelican NaturSoft is unlike any other system on the market. The NaturSoft is made in the USA and is sold only by Pelican Water Technologies.

Another benefit of going with Pelican is the lifespan of the NaturSoft catalytic granules. NaturSoft catalytic granules have been rigorously tested in the real world, used in the commercial industry, and made to be non-sacrificial, therefore it requires no "rest time", and requires no replacement. Other similar technologies require replacement every 3-5 years at costs of $600-$1,000 and require you not use their systems for 8 hours a day for proper rest!

Why does the NaturSoft handle 75 grains while others only handle 25 grains of hardness?
The NaturSoft’s catalytic granular surface is 100% active and grows seed crystals on the entire surface. Other similar technologies only have "growth sites" that are active, leaving more than 70% of the surface inactive.

If the water hardness is tested after the system is installed will the hardness level be different?
If the water is tested after the NaturSoft System is installed the hardness level will remain the same or even test slightly harder due to the existing scale being removed from the plumbing.

Do the NaturSoft Systems have any negative effects on the human body?
No, if your water supply is safe before it enters the NaturSoft System it will be safe after the system. NaturSoft Systems do not add any chemicals to the water therefore there is no harmful effect. NaturSoft Systems leave in the beneficial minerals that are healthy for the human body.

How will the Combo System be shipped?
The Pelican PSE1800 Systems are shipped via UPS Ground in the highest quality doubled walled box with side cushions and a custom top piece. No expense has been spared to ensure your system arrives in factory fresh condition.
