So Compact
I have installed many Reverse Osmosis systems and this has to be the most compact unit. No cartridges to attach to side walls of cupboard. Very easy install. Can't comment on longevity and ease of acquiring replacement parts yet. Very happy with quality of filtered water.

Compact, Easy to Install, and Tasty Water
This is the most compact version I found, slightly larger than the water tank. Tubing lengths were sufficient and easy to connect. The instructions were slightly different than the supplied parts and should be updated. Water taste is good thanks to the after filter that adds some minerals back to the distilled water. Water pressure is good. Water volume is good and we make a lot of coffee and Iced tea. Tip: I have a faucet wrench and that made tightening the nut on the faucet easier, You should get one also to limit the frustration dealing with the nut in tight spaces.

Could not use this system
After receiving this unit, I found that my plumbing would require extensive modification to accommodate it. I ended up returning it at a loss of $40 for shipping.
This was no fault of the dealer or product, but was due to my own lack of preparedness. BE SURE that you have a suitable setup before ordering to avoid a costly mistake like mine.

Nice and compact, user friendly for easy filter replacements. Water tastes, smells and feels so much better. Great to have the many undesirable elements removed. My cats would not drink the tap water, I bought distilled or purified water for all of us, they drink this water!

My husband and I chose Pelican Pro 6-Stage RO because we were concerned about contaminants in our water, and tired of buying bottled water. After ordering the system, we followed the instructions along with YouTube videos and help from the CSR at Pelican who answered a question about a valve/tube. We are quite satisfied with our purchase. Would recommend to others considering a water purifier.

So far, so good!
I was surprised that the connections are just pressure fit. After one week, no leaks so, hopefully that will be the case for the long term. Definitely a good idea to heat the white and black hoses under very hot water for 3 minutes or so. This will make sure you get these hoses fully over the dispenser inputs. I was pleasantly surprised at the pressure / volume of water coming from the dispenser. I received good advice from my sales person to keep water in a pitcher in the refrigerator, so that if you fill up a pot with cooking water, you're not waiting for drinking water while the system re-fills. My net is that this was a better alternative to getting a water service to deliver 5 gallon bottles to my home. The only difficult part was drilling through the kitchen steel sink to make a hole for the dispenser.

Taste great!
Love how easy it was for the plumber to install... and the water taste great. Only down fall is RO systems waste water while it fills the tank.

NOT FOR AN ICE MAKER
I bought this a month ago, thinking that I could pipe the water over to my under cabinet ice maker. Not true. After the product arrived, I called the help desk and they called me back. That's when I was told, "we don't recommend this for an ice maker". No real technical explanation, just we don't recommend it for an ice maker. Please add a note on your web page describing how wonderful of a product, to simply state, 'not for an ice maker'. I drink the water from my ice, so ice would be included in drinking water, just that its frozen drinking water. Hard to rate quality and value yet, but can't write a review unless I click something. I'll keep the unit and get something else for my ice maker. Sad, since I wanted RO water for my ice. I was told I could buy a whole house system. Now that's a steep learning curve. Nah, just want RO water for my ice maker and drinking water, not need for toilets, showers, or dishes.

Make sure you hav enough room under cabinet to hide the filter and also be prepared to cut a hole in your granite countertops to accept the water faucet

Highest Quality American Made
Outstanding American HUMAN customer service that actually answers the phone. Great product, easy to install. Schematic could be larger - my elderly handyman had a hard time reading it. Fantastic flouride free water (hopefully- I have not tested yet).

Great clean water
I'd been putting off buying an RO, because I had an expensive Ionizer I hated to chuck, but it didn't filter Uranium which is apparently an issue in LA as my hair analysis showed increasing UR. Most ROs are also too big to fit under by sink and this one fit perfectly. I'm going to buy another one for Palm Springs. Very happy with the tasted of the water and its compact size. One of my patients is also buying one. :-)

Great Tasting Wpater
After years of buying water at Publix or Walmart, now I have great tasting quality water out of my faucet. The installation is easy, the instructions were detailed. And the cost was not at all much. I have only used it for a few days but so far it exceeds my expectation. The only thing I would have preferred was a stainless steel version to match my appliances and existing faucet. The advice from other reviewers to place the backwash drain at the upstream side of the P trap opposite of the garbage dispenser was valuable. Also, to install the drain line, I did not drill a 3/8" hole because my 3/8" bit did not fit into the opening provided on the clamp and i did not want to risk drilling a bigger hole, so I did a smaller hole, and it works fine.

Awesome system, easy install, fantastic water.
I installed a 5-stage Watts RO system in my mother's house years ago, and the whole installation process was extremely time consuming and required a ton of hose routing. Since the Pelican system is practically all-in-one the installation was super easy.
Another awesome feature of this system is that you don't have to drain the whole system, flush with a bleach solution, and deal with all the filter canisters. The filters come pre-staged with a chlorine agent to sterilize all the components. All you have to do is wait 8-hours and flush a few times. So much easier than the Watts system.
Finally, the water quality is absolutely amazing, and is superior to the Watts system. The water tastes cleaner and is smoother (possibly due to the calcium and magnesium being added back in the final stage). All in all I love my Pelican RO system and will be recommending it to anyone who would like better quality drinking water.

Excellent Service
I found Technical Support to be excellent. Firstly, I hate being a handyman but had to install the Reverse Osmosis System myself. I was a bit of a wreck, but every time I called I found wonderful support and knowledge. I do suggest they add a few lines to their instructions to be more clear about the direction the valves should be in each position. That would be soooo helpful. In the end, total success! I love it! The shower filter is also awesome. You'll notice the difference in your hair in one shower.

Water tastes great
Regular replacement of these filters have kept the 5 year old system delivering consistently excellent drinking and cooking water. NO more lugging cases of plastic bottles water up the stairs.

Not so good for 1800 tds water
This unit is probably a five star for those whose tds is less than a few hundred. It is compact and easy to install especially if you have an extra hole in your countertop already. Unfortunately, for those with very hard well water around 1800 tds which is pre-softened with a salt-based softener, and passed through a particle and carbon filter, it is not so good. With 1800 tds salt going in to it, its output still has a tds of 300-400 which is unacceptable for drinking water.

Works great!
The best system out there, I bought this about 2 months ago and purchased over the phone because I had some questions about it. I called in and spoke with a rep. who answered all my questions. Easy setup, fast shipping, great tasting water and of course made in USA!! What more could you ask for. We purchased this system to remove fluoride and other impurities so far it’s working great.

Too expensive to maintain
The main filter lasts only about a month. At 170.00 a poo that is way to high. The drain line backs up and leaks. Completely worthless

Replaced competitor’s RO. Pelican is better.Saved$
Purchase process was easy over phone. Understood all options. I am replacing a very similar unit from a competitor. Signed up for the automatic filter replacement plan and saved money on the total. Unit showed up in 3 days. Went online and watched installation videos. Old unit out, new unit and faucet installed correct the first attempt. Conducted 2 purges. Water tastes great. Filling pressure & capacity is very good. I am very satisfied after 2 weeks use.

Great Water!
I have had my system almost a month now and LOVE it! We live in West Texas where the water is almost not drinkable so to have this small faucet next to the main one for great drinking water is a good thing. The tank fits well under the sink even with the garbage disposal. It wasn’t hard to install as I did it by myself (a woman), I just followed the instructions. I would recommend this RO system to anyone, we may even keep one when we don’t live here.

Awesome product produces such good tasking water.
In an effort to lose weight I bought this because I was drinking a lot more water and hated the taste of all the chlorine in my water even my filter pitcher could not get the taste out. I love this filtered water and use it to make my coffee, teas and any other drinks that I make. It's great if you have a great bourbon drinking neat and you just want a tiny splash of water with adding chlorine to the taste of your bourbon.

Perfect size for under my kitchen sink
Read the reviews and were a little nervous about this unit fitting under the kitchen sink. Well no worries as it fits perfectly under the sink and there is still plenty of room for the garbage and a couple of other small things I keep under there. I don't usually keep much under the sink just in case something starts to leak. For the time we have used it we are very happy with it.

Excellent unit
We recently installed a water softener,afterwards our water had a sodium taste. Installed Pelican 6 stage reverse osmosis system, removed all bad taste from water. Installation was simple. The only problem was water wasn’t cold enough coming from the tank.I connected ice maker to water line after it came through purifier,now have great tasting ice and chilled water.
