There Are 3 Important Steps To Softening
- Backwashing Phase: This removes dirt from the mineral tank and is part of the regeneration process
- Regeneration Phase: The mineral tank is recharged with sodium from the brine tank solution and displaces calcium and magnesium, which is then washed down the drain during the Backwashing Phase.
- Rinse Phase: The mineral tank is rinsed with fresh water and loads the brine tank so that it is ready for the next cycle.
|
As water passes through the mineral tank, the positively charged calcium and magnesium ions are lost to negatively charged plastic beads. The brine tank holds a solution of water and salt that will flush the mineral tank and replace the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium. Recharging cycles are controlled by the meter on the top of the tank (normally once every 7 days).

Very pleased!
I've been using the Pelican Shower Filter for about a week now, and I can clearly see, feel and smell the difference. My skin and hair is softer, feels much less dry. Great pressure from the shower head when I use very gentle running water for the shower!!! I was so surprised! Also, you can easily switch it between 2 and 2.5 gallons per minute, so you have even more control over how much water you use! I installed it easily. Happy as can be, as the water in my apartment comes from a lake near a nuclear power center, and this filter actually makes a difference. I've tried others but none were this noticeable of a difference.

Amazing!
Purchased Jan. 2011. The water in our town is hyperchlorinated. This system produces the most wonderful water for drinking, bathing and household use. Our friends are surprised when they drink it. Reordering supplies is simple and delivery is fast. The simple instructions make the system easy to maintain.

Great Water Texture
Water texture is awesome using Pelican Softeners for Well Water... Recommend you use flex piping vs PVC... You can save up to an hour installing the system especially in tight spaces.

Best Water in TOWN
We have very poor quality of water in our part of Ohio. After having several National Brand name water firms test the water and give quotes I started studying how to improve our water. PELICAN was and is the answer. The most cost affective,easy to maintain system available. It was very easy to install. If you need to have a plumber do the install it should not be too costly.
My neighbors cost fill the water jugs at my house. Our appliances work better, clothes cleaner, bathing is better and the taste is better then bottled H2O...
IF YOU WANT THE BEST IT PELICAN !

The Works
We needed the works, Sulfur removal system, Sediment filter, Carbon filter, and Salt-Free softener; we purchased the UV Disinfectant sytem too. We have great clean fresh water at our house and the barn. We are quite happy with the system and we are sure our water is safe to drink.

Excellent Product and Service
I have called Pelican a couple of times and always get a representative who has knowledge about products, services, and processes. Always a great experience. Also, the product is the best out there! My extended family has the PC 600 and PC 1000 and I just referred a friend who purchased one a couple of weeks ago. Keep up the great work!

Excellent Product
I purchased the carbon filter and water softener combo for my new home in May of 2015. It's been a great investment. The water is clean and softer and I've had no loss of water pressure at all. I started shopping these systems back in late 2014 and had numerous discussions with Matt who kept in touch and didn't pressure me at all. Once I closed on my house, I bought it and had a local plumber install it. I am very pleased with it and would recommend this product to anyone!
Thank you very much Matt!!!

Great Purchase
I purchased the Pelican Shower Filter on line and in a few short days I received it. The installation was very simple and took about 5 minutes or less to install. Both my wife and I noticed a difference after the first shower. My wife commented that her hair was softer and I noticed that my skin felt and looked better.

Media replacement assistance
I was in the process of replacing my carbon media on a Sunday. And I noticed that the paper instructions that were included did not correspond with the verbiage and the figure #5. So I called customer service on Sunday and they were available. The agent that I talked to was extremely nice, professional and very helpful. So far, so good... A suggestion would be to have a You tube video available on their website for future instructions.

I highly this company and the products they sell

| 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 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.
|
| Q. What type of salt should I use in the Pelican 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 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 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 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 Water Softener? |
No, the Pelican Water Softener System comes complete with ¾" and 1" copper and CPVC plumbing fittings and also a 50' drain line for your convenience.
