I live in the mountains of Colorado. My well is 500 ft. deep in solid lava (there was a huge volcano here). The water is wonderful tasting--almost sweet--but full of all kinds of minerals, which I noticed were building up on my plumbing fixtures, drains, and humidifier. I had an electric tankless hotwater heater installed last year ($10/mo electricity versus $75/mo propane heated tank), and it required that I get a filter or the 10-year guarantee on it would be voided. I certainly did not want to strip this water of all minerals, just the ones making the build-up. After researching on-line, I decided on the Pelican NS-3. I am SO THANKFUL that I did! It requires no maintenance other than a filter replacement about twice a year. My neighbors went with a salt-type softener and they are constantly buying bags of salt and the husband has to lift them (my dog and I aren't strong enough). My plants are doing great and so am I - no worries about additional salt in the water with my high blood pressure. The water still tastes great, but the built-up mineral rings in the toilets, the humidifier, and the fixtures are gone! About the 3rd week after the filter was installed, I noticed chunks of white minerals coming out of the faucets. Less soap is required in the washer and diswasher. I have a photo of my set up if you'd like to see it. The plumber who installed it (my dog and I didn't try), checked back several times as to how it was working for me, and he's now recommending electric tankless hotwater heaters and your filter to others. Thank you for a great product!!
