Love It and Highly Recommend!
After a few months of sales people coming in and out of our home testing our water, educating me on their whole house systems, and tons of internet research, I ended up choosing the Pelican PAC 3, salt system. A salt system is necessary to remove the hardness from our water. We opted to have a Pelican recommended plumber install our system. The 2-man crew was timely, informative, and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. Since installing our system, our water is no longer hard and the taste is incredible. I am so happy that we chose this system for a fraction of the cost compared to the prices I was quoted by salesmen from the big box brands. I highly recommend the system.

Enjoy the soft water
I bought the whole house water filter and PS48 softer. I paid a plummer to install it. Enjoy the low maintenance if the units. There is some pre-workout to do before the units are on line. I had to pre-soak the filter for 48 hours. I also had to flush the filter. The install direction were good for the filter. The direction could be better for the softener. The explanation of what to expect when manually regenerating the system who have helped. Overall it's a great system with great customer service. Ever time I called Pelican I got answer. I would buy this system again.

Well worth it!
We live in a suburb of Minneapolis where the city water is chlorinated and has a hardness of 22-24gpg. We finally got tired of how the shower water felt and what it did to our hair compared to the well water at our cabin in Northern MN. It was time for an upgrade and I found the Pelican products on-line. After speaking to a very helpful customer service rep, I settled on the PAC3 Whole House Filter and Salt Softener. Free shipping and it arrived on time. I did the install myself and the plumbing took some careful planning because I had to separate the tanks (one on each side of the water heater to make everything fit in our mechanical room. I used PEX 3/4" with shark bite clamps from Lowe's which was pretty easy to work with. It took a few days to get the full effect of the new water system but we could not be happier. The feel of the water in the shower is soft and seems so much better for our hair. The water out of our faucets tastes great as does our ice and the glasses out of the dishwasher are spot-free. This system has been a game changer compared to our old salt softener.

Love it!!
We purchased the Pelican Whole House Filter and Salt Softener about a month ago, and wow, what a difference! We are on a well system and had very hard water. Now with the Pelican system we've noticed a huge difference.....our dishes are come out of the dishwasher so much cleaner, no more spots. They even "feel" cleaner. Our showers are operating better with nice, soft water. I can now feel confident to drink water from the tap. We are very happy with the system. And bonus, Pelican really backs up their products, and their salespeople don't work on commission, so no high pressure sales. You can always reach them if you need to, and they are very helpful and knowledgeable. Even our sales person is always available to answer questions. We are very happy we made this purchase!

Great product , great Value for money
I am very much satisfied with performance of the system and service Pelican provided in the installation phase . I was a little nervous about buying a system and take the responsibility as different plumbers charges differently and do not want the total cost become more . Thankfully Pelican provided good support and my Plumber was reasonable and end up getting a good system at reasonable price

We like it!
I am a home owner and I installed the system myself. It has been in operation for about two weeks. We are very pleased with the improvement in our water. Four stars because I feel the instructions that came with the system were lacking in many ways requiring several phone calls to Pelican. Technical support was outstanding! Also had a problem with the pre- filter leaking as the oring was slightly larger than the oring groove and world not stay in place.

Great product and company
I have now had two experiences with Pelican. I have purchased a whole house filter system, and now a full salt softener and filter system. The install was time consuming but straight forward. I just tasted the water and it is AMAZING!!! We have extremely hard water and this softener has saved us from having to go buy bottled water. I am very happy with the product and the experience I have had with all members of the customer service and sales teams.

One week review ----so far so good.
I wanted a water softener primarily to save the replacement costs of scale in the water heater, dish washer and clothes washer. It didn't cross my mind that the water actually would feel different and/or that the dish washer would get the dishes cleaner and /or scalp and face itching due to dryness from hard water would decrease. I am very pleased that I installed a water softener and wish I did it earlier.

| Q. Does the Pelican Combo Series 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.
|
| Q. How easy is it to install the Pelican Combo Series Premium Whole House Water System? |
The Pelican combo 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.

Also, you or your plumber may contact our knowledgeable Customer Service Technicians for further assistance during the installation if necessary. 1-877-842-1635
|
| Q. 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 pre-filter will let you know its time to change it when you notice a slight drop in water pressure meaning the filter is full.
|
| Q. If I am on a sodium-restricted diet or suffer from hypertension is there a substitute for salt that I can add to the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners? |
Yes, You can use potassium chloride instead of salt. The benefit is that you will be adding potassium to your water instead of sodium. Potassium chloride is a more expensive alternative but well worth the cost when weighing the benefits.
|

The Pelican line of water softeners is designed with the highest quality materials on the market today. Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners utilizes the top of the line electronic heads along with features that save you time and money. Quality costs more to make, we would rather build quality than apologize for its absence. Pelican Water Technologies is a leader is advanced water treatment and is dedicated to the future of water treatment methods and ways to improve water for the end user.
|
| Q. Can the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners be installed outdoors? |
The Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners should be protected against the weather. The electronic head should be shielded from water; a weatherproof cover is available for most models.
|
| Q. How long does the resin last in the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners? |
The resin life depends on a few factors, amount of chlorine, quality of resin, and number of regenerations. The average life of resin should be 7-15 years. If the chlorine is removed from the water preventing it from reaching the resin with a carbon pre-filter such as the Pelican PC600 or PC1000 then the resin could last up to 25 years.
|
| Q. What type of salt should I use in the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners? |
It is recommended that coarse salt be used, which most grocery stores carry in bulk. Block salt should never be used.
|
| Q. Will I notice a pressure loss after installing a Pelican Advantage Series Water Softener? |
With all brands of water softeners there will be a pressure drop. The Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners are of the highest quality available on the market therefore the pressure drop will be very low compared to most other brands.
|
| Q. Can the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softeners drain line be drained into my septic system and what type of affect will it have on the drain field? |
According to the Water Quality Association Technical Papers concerning septic tanks, etc: Concerns about salt and soil absorption rates were dispelled. The increased sodium content in the tanks discharge was shown to have no detrimental effect on the soil's ability to absorb water in a normal drain field. Interestingly, certain soil conditions benefited from it. Additionally, when the softener's calcium-rich regeneration backwash emptied into the septic system, the discharge could actually improve the soils percolation the conclusion drawn from these tests is that the softened water is not harmful to a normally operating septic system or drain field.
|
| Q. Can the drain line be located above the softener? |
As long as the water pressure at the softener is not less than 40 PSI and the run of the drain line does not exceed 15', your discharge line may be elevated up to 4' above the system. For each additional 10 PSI of water supply the line can be elevated an additional 2'.
|
| Q. Is softened water recommended for use on my plants or lawn? |
If you are using sodium chloride to regenerate you resin, overtime, softened water could be harmful to your plants and other vegetation. It is recommended that the outside faucets be bypassed from the softener.
|
| Q. How much salt will I have to add to the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softener? |
A typical home with a family of 4 with 2.5 bathrooms and a hardness of 10 will require a 32,000 grains softener that will regenerate every 11 days. The softener uses about 9 lbs of salt per regeneration, so if your brine tank is full (400lbs) from the start, you will not add salt for about 10 months.
|
| Q. Do I need to know what size my plumbing fittings are before I order the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softener? |
No, the Pelican Advantage Series Water Softener System comes complete with 3/4" and 1" copper and CPVC plumbing fittings and also a 50' drain line for your convenience.
