We have PFAS in our area so I looked into having a water system. The sales consultant did an excellent job answering the particulars to all my questions that were necessary for me to make a decision in purchasing. I got the country well system that fills 1800. I got the information, I saw the unit and I had my company install. We do different things but Pelican installed it and did the job that was necessary. However, I also installed the softener system and being a septic system, I did not wanna use salt. I noticed that there was a build-up on the faucets.
I wasn't expecting 100% removal but I was a little disappointed in the removal of build-up for the faucets. I'm not trying to point any fingers and saying that Pelican misrepresented their product but I was under the impression that it would do a better job in removing the different elements in the system. I don't think it is but overall, I'm satisfied with it. I would recommend the Pelican system and the people who I dealt with. They were polite and resourceful. Their demeanor was something that I would expect to be professional as a business.

I had Culligan and I wasn't happy with them. Then, I had one that came from Lowe's and with leaks and all sorts of problems with water on the lawn, I wasn't satisfied with them either. When I saw Pelican's ad, I said I would give them a call and what they led me to is to go to the online to look at the products they had. I saw one I thought was going to be better, but it wasn't. It had to do with water softening and I have had enough of that. Once that was straightened out, we had no problem at all. I got a system that takes out the chlorine and the lead. We made an arrangement and the technician came out and put the new system in. We haven't had a problem since.
You have to be patient with the service because their service people are in different areas. And if they're far from your home, you have to wait and set up an appointment where the person can get there. That was the only problem we had. They recommended three different technicians and I was trying to get the one closest to me but I didn't get a response from that. I went down the list and I finally got a guy who came out. We had to set up an appointment because he was kinda far away and he had other work to do in the area.
He was very polite when he came out and he explained everything, including the pluses and minuses of the system and things that I would have to do. Like for my washing machine, I would have to make smaller loads because this particular system only does five gallons a minute. And the washing machine takes a whole bunch of water. What I've been doing to work that problem out is doing smaller machines so that the filtration system can be effective.

I had a water filter inside the refrigerator that I was using before that brings filtered water and ice through the door. All of a sudden, that filter burst wide open and put water all over my kitchen. I got a Pelican product thereafter because it has a little light on it that told me when it needed replacement. I didn't see any other company with products that have that feature. When I got the system at first, I used it on top of the counter for a while until I got a drill to drill through a standstill sink. I mounted it underneath about a week later. Though I haven't noticed any difference with my water since then, having the Pelican system has been more convenient because it's underneath my sink.

I started looking for a filter on the internet based on water quality, taste and different things. I asked Pelican Water Systems if they had a product that would work for all the different chemicals and things that were in the water that would take care of it. There's a high concentration of chlorine in my water and they were adding fluoride. I know fluoride did quite a few things but I was trying to eliminate as much of it as I could. I asked a bunch of questions and Pelican recommended the product. Their knowledge about it was top-notch. I got the reverse osmosis and under sink unit. It has little tap which comes out just so you can fill containers. I did the installation and being an older guy, there was a struggle to do things way up under the sink. It was hard to get in there but I got it done.
I have noticed that the water quality has been good but it doesn't take long to taper off. The filter is expensive as well. I could tell the difference in the taste almost within half the time that they say that it would change. They said 18 months but for about six to nine months, the taste started to change. I've told Pelican about it but the alternative is more expensive. For now, I'm just doing what I can. With the RO system there, there's an acidic side that drains and has an air gap in the faucet. When you tie it into the drain and if you have a disposal connected to the drain, that disposal clogs up the end of that acid drain line, then the water runs out on the counter or the sink top. I called the tech department and they asked if there was any way to put it through a non-disposal side. I don't have one of those. So, I told them what my experience was and they were grateful for the update.
As soon as you run the disposal, it starts to clog up the end of the pipe because the pressure's coming out going down the drain. Now, I got water running out on the top of the sink or I have to clean the pipe all the time. It's not really a win situation. If they had an application where it could tie into a vertical upstream above and if I could tie it in vertically, then that would work a lot better. Nevertheless, Pelican's fine. They're a lot better than some of the other water filter things that I experienced which were more expensive and less effective.

I had a plumber install a new faucet in my kitchen sink. I saw the hard water buildup on the bottom of the faucet and I decided that I needed to get some kind of softener for the house. I went online and Pelican Water Systems was the best so I went for them. I told the rep that I had hard water scales buildup. He was very informative and he told me that it would even help some of the pipes that were in the house clear up over time. You don’t have to flush it with the salt or whatever electric. You also don’t have to flush it at night although I am getting ready to change the sediment filter. I felt the difference right away since having the system installed and I feel good about the investment.
I have a little chap on the front of the refrigerator for water and I used to get white buildup in the cup down below. It doesn’t do that anymore. The filter last longer in the refrigerator. Once the system was in, it has not been a problem. It has helped my humidifier as well. I have an osmosis system in front of my humidifier to help that run a little cleaner. I’ve got three filters on the osmosis system that probably are not working as hard as they did before the Pelican system was put in. I'm very happy with it.

We had 85% damage done in our home due to the hurricane. It tore up our well house where we had the water softeners and the pumps. It turned everything upside down and broke it loose. It was a complete disaster. So, I started looking for a new water treatment unit. I was told that the Pelican unit is good in taking rust out of the water and making the water softer. The sales rep advised me to think about it and call him back if I was interested. I called him back after a few days and told him I was interested in their unit. He asked if I had a salt unit and I said yes. I only had acquired a salt unit and he told me that as long as I had a salt unit, the Pelican unit would work well.
My wife and I installed the unit. We set up the filter, backwashed it, and hooked it up. So far, the unit has worked great and it's some of the best water that we've ever had. There's no rust in the water and the commodes stay pretty and white. It's a good unit to go with. It's one of the best units that I got my hands on because it is not electric but just plugged into the line. I'm very satisfied and I would recommend Pelican. As a matter of fact, I told my neighbor about our Pelican water treatment unit because he was looking for one too.

Pelican Water Systems seemed to have good prices and support. So, I ended up purchasing a single carbon tank from them. I installed the unit myself and the experience was pretty cut-and-dry. Anybody who has basic plumbing knowledge can do it. I have the tank for five years now and the only thing I hate about it is that sometimes, it shoots the carbon up into the toilet tank. It seems like when you get a big surge of water, some of that carbon will escape out of that filter and it will end up in the water line. Also, over the five years that I've had the tank, I had to shut it down for a couple of days because I had to replace the carbon bed. During that time, I noticed a chlorine taste in the water but it was something that I have forgotten about for the last five years. I would recommend Pelican Water Systems.

The house that we moved into has three tankless hot water heaters and when we started using the showers, we noticed the deposits in the faucets. Our water comes from wells in the neighborhood and with a high amount of calcium, we realized our faucets would get clogged so we started researching and found Pelican. The prices looked reasonable so I ordered the system. The first one I ordered was a no salt unit. I have that put in but it wasn’t helping. Pelican's reps were very nice and said they'll exchange it. I shipped that unit back and they sent me another system which uses salt, and I’ve had it ever since. It works great and I’ve been very satisfied since I got it.

I bought a water filter from Pelican for my shower two years. I bought it online. I clicked "Buy" and it came to my doorstep. This is my second replacement filter. It takes about 30 seconds to take the filter off and put another one back on. I love it. It keeps my shower a lot cleaner. I also like showering in filtered water. It’s very, very nice. I don’t know if I could shower in hard water anymore.

I used to have the water filtering system with the salt but it was getting old and their rep used to come every year and charge me $99. I read about Pelican and when they showed up with the showroom on wheel, I got convinced that it was a good product to buy. I changed a filter already one time, and it seems to be working fine. There's a difference on the water.
However, I could feel my hands dry already and I'm wondering if this is how the water should be. I also noticed that when I take a shower, the water sometimes feels slippery or slimy. I spent a lot of money so a free yearly test for quality control would be appropriate just to check and see if I'm drinking the right stuff. Nevertheless, I would still recommend them even though my previous provider said Pelican wasn't good.

Pelican Water PSF-1W-C1 Premium Shower Filter Combo - Did not have too much problems installing this, it took two times installing the filter body as I was afraid of tightening it too much. Basically you have to use common sense and use Teflon tape provided with the kit, only tools I used was a pair of good pliers and a scissors to cut the Teflon tape, (Sharp Ones) and a Cresent Wrench, Installation went Smoothly. Took a shower after installing and love that the Chlorine is gone along with a good bunch of the Fluoride, and other heavy metals present. Did not have the itches from too much Chlorine, have to say there is pretty good water her In parts of Alaska, just they add too many Chems.

We live in the desert and we have super hard water. I was looking for something that would make it a little bit more comfortable after showering as I have eczema. I did an online search, came across Pelican Water Systems and found something that would work. The online ordering process was super simple - it was just a matter of figuring out the right style for our bathroom. I did the installation of the shower filter myself and then I sent in the form for the automatic renewal and refills that come every six months.
It's been two months since I got the shower filter and so far, my experience has been good. The biggest change that I have observed since having the filter was that I do not feel completely dried out after getting out of the shower. With hard water, your hair stays knotted even if you're using a conditioner. But with the filtering, my hair has been a lot easier to manage. I've recommended Pelican to a few people already.

When we moved into our house, I have white hair but within one week, my hair turned orange. It was really bad and that was from all the rust in our water. The water tasted and smelled bad as well. Also, the toilets were ruined and the tanks were full of rust. I couldn't get the rust out of the bathtub so I ended up stripping all the finish by using super harsh cleaners.
We got the $6,000 Pelican system which includes the whole house filter and an iron filter. Then, right after we had the system put in, all our dishes were cloudy and there was something in the water that made it stick to our dishes and we couldn't get it off. So, they installed the Tannin water filter. Also, when we didn't have the filters, we had to come out, fill with bleach, change the filter and put in the salt and we had to do all that with our gross water. Now, although I'm not used to it, I have to be on top of changing the filter better.
The water has been great since although we still have a few issues from time to time as the water level changes. My hair is a little on the yellower side now, but not orange anymore and that's good. We also don't have any rust on anything although there is a little bit that runs down the toilet but the rust is dissolving in there and cleaning up. We're really happy with the progress of the water and I will recommend Pelican.

Thank you for your feedback, doing research on the best system to treat well water is definitely worth your time and effort. At Pelican we have a large portfolio of products that can address many problems relating to color, taste and odor found in well water. We even provide a rapid 12 water test that is available across the USA.

There was a lot of bad stuff in the city water such as chlorine and fluoride. I moved in from the country so I could immediately smell the difference from the chlorine coming into the water, then into the house. I searched online looking for some alternatives and saw Pelican Water. They had some good ratings and seemed to have more stuff that can be taken out of the water. I called in and got a Pelican rep on the phone. His name is Kyle and he was awesome. I can't always believe salespeople, but he seemed genuine. He was just telling me the benefits of the product and he knew his stuff. I double checked some of the stuff that he told me and he was right.
I got the water softener, the whole house purifier, and the reverse osmosis. We did the installation ourselves and it was easy. I had a friend come over and helped me. We were able to do it decently between the YouTube videos and the directions, so it wasn’t too bad to install it. That was a plus. We had to do a little shopping at Menards, but for the most part, the pieces were all there.

I took a chance ordering Pelican's water system. I bought the first one to get rid of the chlorine then I added the water softeners deal to it. Pelican's salesman gave me a big old pitch about how their system would soften the water and get rid of the hard water, but so far, it's not doing what I thought it was gonna do. I still get rings around my commode, my sink, and everything else. And when you take a shower, the soap is supposed to be real soapy but it's not.
Also, I have a brand-new refrigerator, which is a Samsung that has a water filter on it, but the ice is still not clear. It's real milky. Pelican's rep said that the refrigerator is freezing too fast but I don’t see how that could be. I talked to Pelican about my problems a couple of times but I couldn't get anything out of them. They just told me that the system should be doing its job and that if I didn't like it, I should send it back. But it cost me $1,000 to have a plumber come out here and plum these things to put it up. So, it would also cost me to take it all out and send the thing back. It's not worth it. If I take it out, I'll just throw it in the dumpster and order a salt system.
Somebody told me that I need two of the softeners systems instead of that one but I can't afford to buy another one to add to it. I paid $1,300 for this one and if Pelican wants to send me another one, they can that but I'm not gonna pay for it. So, I'm up a creek without a paddle. I'm dissatisfied and I wouldn’t recommend Pelican.

When I first got the system installed, the water smelled fresher and felt cleaner. That, of course, went away but you can notice it when you first change it over. And still, I'm happy with it.

I would steer clear of this product if you have hard water. I have had the system for 9 months now and everything the water touches turns white and scaly. Horrible. If my appliances look like this on outside wonder what looks like on inner parts... The advertising is misleading that it “softens” the water, not. I want to rip this out. Trash it.

I live in Arizona, and the water out here is absolutely horrible. The water is so bad that the lady that I live with got kidney stones from it. She was in the hospital for almost a week and ended up getting stents in her kidney. So, when I got out, the first thing I did was talk to plumbers, and they all told me there was no such thing as a saltless water conditioner. I didn't give up and I kept poking around. I looked at Pelican and talked to them over the phone. They told me all about it and guaranteed that it would do the work of a water conditioner and it was the right fit. It has been wonderful. The water is as good as salt water but there's no salt and when you take a shower, your body feels cleansed. So, we’re happy with it. I have recommended it to anybody that I thought was interested.

I was looking for three-stage water filters, googled that and Pelican Water came up. I researched their website and I liked what I saw. They had good reviews as well. So I called and made the order directly from them. I had a problem with one of the filters so I hired a plumber to hook it up. He may not have hooked it up correctly. I had another plumber come in and check the way it was hooked up. He said it was hooked up wrong. But the company sent me out another one. They have great customer care and I appreciate them taking care of us. I’ve also been really pleased with the taste of the water. I like the fact that I can buy it quickly online, and they have a better price point. I didn’t wanna spend over $400 and I spent less than 200.

We are in Arizona, and we had a salt-based water softener that failed. In the course of the plumber responding to the repair, he told me that it was beyond repair and he mentioned saltless systems. I researched it and me and my friend decided almost in the same day to buy a unit. We were concerned about the use of salts and its reintroduction back into the ecosystem and on our bodies. Since we had to replace our units and we didn’t know how old they were, it was a good time to research saltless systems and Pelican Water Systems came up. I did it all online and then I called as I was getting ready to place the order after reading all the reviews.
The sales rep was helpful in guiding me through the online process. I bought a water softener and it was shipped so I could do a self-install but I ended up using our plumber to put it in because we had a little bit of a tighter fit. So, we used some brass and copper to make the turns that couldn't be made with a normal flex pipe. Since then, we don’t have a slippery feeling in the shower like you would with a salt system which was fine.

My brother-in-law outside of Nashville has a Pelican System. We had moved from Ocala, Florida to Dandridge, Tennessee and we built a house here, and unfortunately, the water quality here is horrible. It’s very hard and it’s not good for anything. I thought my brother-in-law had told me about Culligan, so I called up Culligan, but it’s a salt system and I did not want it. The Culligan system is around $68,000. Then, he said that his system was called Pelican. I called Lowe’s at first to get the system, but they wanted six to eight weeks to get it and they wanted to charge me with a big tax on it, so my brother-in-law said, “Why don’t you just call Pelican direct? They have some specials on it. You can probably buy it directly.”
I called Pelican and ordered the system over the phone, and I got it within three days. I talked to one of their sales reps and he was very charismatic, very informative, and very knowledgeable. He was very kind and he helped me out. He followed up with me and called me back to make sure I received the system. He was a good salesman and he did his job well. Pelican got a good staff there. He also sent my brother-in-law a three-pack of something filters for his Pelican System, which he loved.
I got the whole house filtration system and the water softening system, so I got the two tanks and I got the small filter that goes with it also. I had a handyman do the installation of it. Pelican got a great product and it’s really nice. I let other people know about it and the people that bought my house are actually putting a system there in Florida. As far as the quality of the water, it is outstanding. There are three people in my area building houses and I had mentioned on my Facebook about Pelican's system and what success I’ve had with it and how good it is, and that it’s a saltless system. I raved about everything.
They had asked me about my system, so I forwarded them Pelican's website, so they can go on there. I think that they are putting systems in their brand-new houses. I told them to mention my name if they can when they talk to Pelican, so they would know where they got the referral from. It’s really a quality system and I am very happy with it. I’m very pro their system. It does what it’s supposed to do. I actually did a water test on it after it was installed and it was a way incredible improvement.

I had some issues with the water smell, and I had some rust and calcium buildup on a lot of my fixtures in the house. I was looking for a water filtration company and while I was looking online, Pelican happened to pop up. I worked with one specific guy that helped me identify some of the issues. I purchased just a sampling kit. One of the reasons was because they offered a credit for the sample. If you bought or purchased the filter system through them, they would credit you to whatever you spent on the test kit. And so, once I had the results from my test, I had a representative call me to explain to me what they saw on the sample, and it didn’t really line up as much as some of the issues I was having. And so, I took pictures of it and sent it to him, and then we discussed it again, and that’s how I ended up buying the right filter for my home.
The rep was really helpful and he spent as much time with me as I needed. I stayed on the phone with him one day for 45 minutes asking questions, trying to understand why it was best fit, if that was the only solution, and so on and so forth. I have his email as well because he helped me purchase everything. My mom lives about a mile from me and has the same issues. So, I purchased the exact same system for her and I did it through him. And then, even today, I emailed him about some issues I was having over the weekend with the smell in my water, to see if it was something I needed to adjust on the filtration side, and he very promptly emailed me back and asked questions, and helped me to resolve the issue.
I've got two different systems. Because of the level of hardness in the water, I needed a salt-based softener. So, I have a whole house softener system that I purchased from Pelican. And then, because I purchased a salt-based softener, I had to install an under the sink reverse osmosis filter for drinking water and water to cook with. That was why I purchased two different filters.
The setup and installation were fairly simple. I was able to get it done in a few hours on my own. The biggest issue I had with my water was really around my clothing. And so, that was really the driver. My faucets were a little bit frustrating, but it was something I was able to live with without it being a huge ordeal. But what happened when I washed my clothes, because of the hardness of the water, it was like the soap wouldn’t penetrate the water and clean my clothes. So, the instant I would sweat, my clothes would get a very sour smell. Since I've had my Pelican system, my clothes smell clean, and it's a drastic difference. It's much better. I would definitely recommend Pelican.

I used Pelican Water Systems in my other home that I had built and I put the system in myself, which was very easy to do if the house built is all plumbed in for a water softener. My water softener is one that you don’t have to add anything to it. It's a closed system and I have a pre-filter on the system as well as the charcoal filter. In my current home, I put the system in and I just recharged the charcoal filter after around five years, and it was around 250 bucks. I'm quite pleased with the system. It was very easy to do, to maintain and to plumb into my home system. If you're somewhat handy and you're not afraid to get into it, then you could do it yourself.
The representatives from Pelican were very easy to deal with. I had questions in regards to the white residue. With the water softener, you're gonna have a white residue with a salt added to and I had white residue, which is what is in the water softener to make the water soft. It is not harmful to the body. You just got to scrub it off in the shower and that would be the only downfall I see with the system. I also had other water softeners, just like three homes ago that used salt pellets, and we were constantly putting salt pellets in there, but then we were constantly putting salt in our body too, and I didn’t like that aspect of it, so I went to Pelican Water. It is a charcoal filter plus water softener that I have. I change the pre-filter quarterly because I just got to do it.
I hooked the charcoal system up and I didn’t have to worry about it, and that's the convenience of it. And when I recharged the charcoal filter after five years, what I took out and what I put in looked the same and I could have gone longer. The only thing that I touch is the pre-filter and I change it depending on the water that we are getting into our main system or coming into our house. We are not storing on a monthly basis and buying salt pellets to do our water softener. It's within the system and it lasts forever. I don’t have to recharge. It's there and it's amazing.

Thanks for being a long time Pelican customer and for your review. So pleased to hear that the system is amazing. Our Carbon whole house filters do last for 5 years and then a simple carbon change and you are ready for another 5 years of better than bottled filtered water.

I was tired of putting money into my salt soft water system. Every year, I had to pay somebody to come. And I had the RO system. I’m a health nut and I don’t drink dead water. And so, the more I researched, the more I realized I’d like the soft water but I didn’t want salt anymore. So, I started doing research, and I found Pelican. I found that Home Depot carried them, which made me feel really comfortable with the name. So, I went with the top system they had, and it covered all my bases. I got a house filter, a salt-free soft tank, the UV filter, and a prefilter.
The people at Pelican were incredible. They told me that I should probably think about buying the installation kit that came with all the stainless steel piping, and that really made the job so much easier. Plus, they made suggestions like using SharkBite instead of trying to solder everything. I put it in myself. And then while I was involved in it, I had a few problems. And I called them, and they walked me through the whole thing.
Since having our system installed, I don’t feel slimy anymore like I used to with saltwater. Overall, everything that I’ve found that I’ve noticed different are positive. I’m still getting the same kind of lather from my soaps. It works good in the kitchen, like in drain kit. I don’t have to have special under the sink stuff.

I was doing research through the internet on whole house water softeners and filtration systems for the house here in Florida because the water quality is bad and we were concerned with the hardness of the water and the smell and taste of it. Pelican Water Systems ended up as one of the choices. The rep said that they have a two-tank system where the first tank takes out the chemicals out of the water and the second one puts the water through the softener. So, the softener is to unbind the chemicals with the molecules in the water so that the hardness is taken away.
The sales guy said that the installation was something that I could do myself. However, since you're tying it into the main that comes into the house, that was not something that I could do easily. So, I had to have it professionally done and it cost me more than I thought. If anything is a downside to having a whole house system put in, it's the cost of the plumbing.
We’re seasonal in Florida and the rep said that the system should be good for six years but they should have indicators on their tanks as to when the media needs to be changed rather than using a simple time scale. I looked at their competitor, Aquasana, which was half the cost but you need to change the first primary filter every 12 months months. Pelican is a little costlier but I got mine on a god deal and I would recommend other people to go with Pelican if they were not as price-conscious. Also, you don’t need to flush the Pelican system which is great. Since having it, there is some difference in the softness of the water and we are now confident to rinse vegetables and food as well as cook with the water. The water quality has been improved and it was a good investment for us.

We bought a whole house salt-free softener and filtration system back in May 2018. It was supposed to help remove any bacteria, along with reducing any scaling in our water. By August, we were still seeing scaling on pots & pans, along with scaling on the toilets. I contacted Pelican, only to be told that it was normal for it to "take a while" to start reducing the scaling.
Another few months went by with no change. I sent more emails and was ignored for a while. Then, Patrick with Pelican replied to tell me that I should consider an R/O unit for our kitchen sink. And, that the only way to reduce scaling on the toilets was to get a salt-based softener. Which would work also for the dishwasher, as the R/O unit would not work. I asked what it would cost to swap the existing unit out with a salt-based softener and after a few weeks, finally got a reply of $1499.00. I have already spent nearly $3000 for the original units and this is ridiculous with them wanting me to spend another $1500 to get what we originally asked for. I am ready to toss the entire units out and call Culligan or another company to get a unit that works.

All local water treatment companies in my area don’t know what they’re doing. I researched the internet and Pelican was not necessarily the best in the industry, but it’s up there in the top 15%. Their overall performance, specifications, reviews, and listening as to what’s the best in the industry was what me choose them. Since switching to Pelican, the quality of water has been better all around. First off, I didn’t wanna use salt for water softening. The taste of the water is much better.
I've been with the company since 2009 and there have been a couple of negatives I experienced, the biggest one being that my pH neutralizer unit was shipped with essentially nothing but sand in the container, instead of being parts of only 1/3 sand at the bottom and then 2/3 calcite at the top. But I called and I showed them what I had. I took the sample, took a picture, sent that out, and they immediately gave me special instructions. They sent me five bags of calcite which would last me about 15 years so ever since then, it has been working fine.
I hope they make sure that the documentation is explicitly correct. There are some holes here and there and those kinds of holes typically arise because of having multiple people doing documentation and sometimes, one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. Basically, it's to standardize the quality of the documentation a little bit better. But then, Pelican is one of the better systems out there for the cost. You can pay three times as much and get some improvement.

However as IBM mainframe salespeople said years ago; "No one was ever sorry they bought the best there is." We purchased this house (2 miles west of Crescent Beach, FL) in June of 2014 and had been struggling with our well water since then. The house sits on a cypress knoll atop a perched water table. As such well water is abundant and we only have to lift it 12 to 14 feet, however it is rich in tannin, minerals, dissolved iron and iron oxidizing bacteria; surprisingly it does not reek of sulfur dioxide. -- i.e. it is pretty much the typical shallow well water one sees in N.E. Florida.
The previous owners had installed a potassium permanganate point-of-entry system (PPPOES) and a typical salt-based softener -- both of which had seen better days, with blue-green crap all over the garage floor from the leaking in all directions PPPOES. We replaced the softener and installed an Iron Breaker system in the line from the well before the softener. These took care of the minerals and for a while the iron issues, the tannin remained. But after 3 years the Iron Breaker was breaking down, despite its claimed (when we bought it) 10-15 year life.
So, last October I set out to find an alternative. The two big players here are Culligan and Pelican -- I called both for a "free in-home consultation". The Culligan salesperson lived up fully to what I had expected from a housecall water treatment system salesman (he must have previously worked for Kirby or Electrolux); he knew a lot about selling the system, but very little else. His "testing" was performed with a simple dip-stick kit like the numerous ones I have stacked up in the garage, and his final suggestion was a 20" cartridge carbon filter, a potassium permanganate injection system and a new salt-based softener.
OTH the fellow from Pelican (John) impressed myself (a retired ME -- BSME MIT '69) and my wife with his knowledge of both their equipment and how it worked. He tested our water with a digital field testing system and sent samples to Pelican's lab for additional testing and confirmation. John returned a week later, explained the test results, presented and explained in detail their proposed system and how it would all work together to provide clean usable water. Proceeding was an easy decision.
A week later (third-week November) it (a Pelican WF4/PT3 system) was installed; a 5 micron polyester filter to start things off, Followed by a chlorine injector to kill the iron reducing and other bacteria, Next is an iron & manganese greensand filter and a whole house carbon filter with a 600,000 gallon service life (5 years at 300 gallons/day!) -- these are installed in the pump house, in the garage is the PT3 salt-based tannin filter/softener.
The water is crystal clear, equally as good as bottled and much better than the filtered city water you get from the machines outside the grocery stores. We have had a recurrent issue though (Pelican has been right on it though, so it has just an issue, NOT a problem). A couple and a half weeks after installation my wife commented that the pressure in the shower was reduced. I too had noticed this a week or so earlier but left it to the system "settling in". But responding to SWMBO's words and investigating I found that the flow meter in the PT3 control head was no longer functioning (The PT3 control head displays current flow in gpm). The flow meter consists of a small water flow driven turbine wheel in a venturi in the control head's outlet. It had apparently jammed and as the automatic regeneration cycle of the PT3 is triggered by accumulated flow this meant it would never regenerate on its own.
Pelican responded immediately, overnight shipping a new control head and arranging to have it installed the next day. This was done, and inspection proved that indeed the turbine wheel was jammed though we could not determined by what other than that it was a very small something (the clearance between the turbine and venturi is quite precise).
Unfortunately 92 gallons later it jammed again. Pelican sent their top technician the next day; sure enough the turbine was jammed, but once again we could not determine by what. He speculated that perhaps a manufacturing defect had resulted in the filter tank down-tube's lower strainer being damaged allowing media into the stream and recommended that a new tank be installed. This was the Friday before Christmas. On Wednesday we received a new tank, and their tech came yesterday (New Year's Eve day) to install it. Having had company we have now used over 400 gallons of water and it appears all will be well in the new year. KUDOS to Pelican and their support team -- I find myself not at all sorry I bought the best there is! SWMBO=She Who Must Be Obeyed.

We purchase the PSE2000 system back in may of 2018. As we was building our home. We have been in the home now for 3 1/2 month and the water is not soft and we have hard water mark and scale build up on the pumping fixtures. I was on the email texting a guy. He made it sound like I was dumb**. First off I would not recommend the system I paid almost 5000.00. I have a system on my old home and it work better than this one. And it was salt, was trying to get away from salt. There are system out there that work the same way and cost a lot less.

I received a call from Frank at Pelican water, and all have been resolved, we found that the problem with the fittings was with my plumber as these are standard 1-inch fittings, also the smell has dissipated and was probably the pipe dope used to seal the fittings, as for the referral monies they have made that right and are looking into ways to make that process more streamlined, I was really happy that they called and did everything they could to understand the issues and resolve them, this is a company that really believes in their product and really cares about their customers, it is very rare that I do a complete 180 like this but I feel they went above and beyond to help me, if you buy a water system from them and have any issues I assure you they are going to get right. GREAT COMPANY.
Original Review: Nov. 8, 2018
I was very excited to get good clean water on my property, installing was a big problem as the fittings are just not something that most places carry so it was an extra four days, now that it's all installed my water has a very sicking smell to it and just not sure why possibly because it's a new system, who knows as I am hopeful it goes away quick. Also there is no reason or to refer anyone as I did and a friend bought the system and I was unable to enter them into the app they have and even after confirming with my rep that it was my referral there is not check in my mailbox, which is too bad as I have a lot of people in this area that need a system. I guess I will help them find another solution.

My system has been in use for some time now with no changes to the water? Is it possible the brine wasn't installed before shipping the unit to me? I didn't hear anything from Pelican on this issue. Total scrap. Save your money.

I bought the Pelican PSE 1800 water system along with the Pelican reverse osmosis system. The plumber I hired to put them in said that he had removed so many of those system because they had leaked and ruin their flooring. He said it would be over $500.00 to install system, so decided to send it back. BE WARNED: It cost me over $370.00 to FedEx the system back, which they will NOT refund. I just wanted to warn you about this.

I originally purchased a salt free "softener" that didn’t soften the water at all! I exchanged that for a salt system for a $300+. Had it installed only to find resin in my bathtub. I am VERY unhappy!!! Did I also mention I purchased a sediment and whole house filter from them as well. I can’t say if they do or don’t work but I can say that after spending thousands of dollars and hours researching, installing, driving home to meet delivery driver etc to have a broken system is a sign that there is poor quality control at Pelican.
I should have known that when I unboxed the salt softener and there was resin all over the bottom of the box that there would be a problem. Honestly, I would just like a full refund, they can have their equipment back and I'll go get a $500 system from Lowe’s and probably be more happy. Looking forward to hearing from Pelican to see how they can make this right. They can start by having a licensed plumber come to my house and clean out my plumbing and all my appliances.

There was heavy iron in the water. I looked into a water treatment system and the sales consultant from Pelican Water Systems came out. He did an examination on water, confirmed that we were heavy on iron, and recommended their homeowner thing, so I went with that. He gave me clarification on how the system works, I accepted the plan there, and he left the tank here. Then the installers came out and they were very good. They put it in and rigged it up, however, I had to rebuild my shed that I had over the pump system because their iron tank was taller than the roof. So, I had to restructure the roof's area then we got the system in.
We had a lot of problems with the system after that. About two days after they put it in, the little box that supplies the power to the timer went out. Pelican sent me a new one then I put it in and it has been fine since then. I purchased the number four system which has the iron, the chlorine, and the other tank for our home system. Later on, I had them come back out again. I wanted a water softener in it because the water was still too hard, so I bought that and added it to the system.
But we still had problems and I called the installer about them. He happened to be in the area and he came back and found the problem. The system wasn't flushing the iron tank completely when it went through its cycle at night, so he put a washer in there with a larger opening and it put more water in there, which got rid of the grayish and the bad taste that was coming out of it. Also, there was a yellow one every two or three days and by putting the bigger washer in it and having more water flush into the iron tank, it was able to completely flush the iron tank. We've been living with that now and it seems to be good.
I was very dissatisfied at first because it took quite a bit to tune up the system. But James, the head installer, was very sharp and very knowledgeable. He helped me a lot with it and we got it cleared up now, though, it has taken about five months to get everything cleared up. But now I don't have the same graying or the yellow one in anymore, and the water taste is a lot better. Also, since having the system installed, the water doesn't have the iron. It took the water softener about two weeks before it started working effectively, but now, we can suds up in the shower.
My neighbor next door, who has the same problems with his water, came over and talked to me. He wanted to know what I thought of my system because he was thinking about getting one as well. I told him that for the first five months, I thought I was making a big mistake. The system had to be tuned-up then Pelican increased the chlorine a bit and had to get the flushing system to work better. But I told him that it is starting to work okay now though he is still watching to see whether he wants to put one in or not.
So far, I've changed the sediment filters and James came up here, took the chlorine unit off, and cleaned it because it was heavily coated in iron. He cleaned all of that off a little earlier than I needed to. I'm watching the system to see whether Pelican is gonna take care of the problem, but so far, since James was here, the problem has been taken care of and the water softener is working. Pelican also sent me their special water test when I called in about the problem. They were suspecting I had something else, although James said that I didn't. I called them about two weeks later and they came back and said that my well looks great. I told them that nobody called me, so I didn't know what was going on, and the response has been a little negative. Other than that, the evaluation was good and the system itself is better than what I had initially with the old salt water softener system. Also, the frustration that I went through was very concerning especially considering the price that I paid for, but I'm okay with it right now.

Thanks for the review. The water chemistry in Private wells can present challenges for any system. However, here at Pelican we have the best products to address most issues as well as the most experienced water specialists for the best recommendations.

I have a rental property where I put a Culligan Water System. My tenant had been in the house for two weeks and he called and said that the white tile in the shower was already brown and the water in the toilet was getting snotty looking. So, a little bit of research, I found out that Culligan is just a good boat anchor and not good for much of anything else. So, the Pelican representative here in Florida told me to send him a sample of the water. Once he gave me the result of my water, he made a recommendation and I got the water system for the entire house. I got the chlorinator, the pre-filter, UV light, water conditioner, the water softener and the carbon filter that helps take the chlorine out. They had the equipment shipped here in a day and I had my plumber install it.
The only problem I had was with my UV light. I thought it didn't work and I had to call customer service a couple of times, so they sent me a new one. Come to find out, if I stick the UV light itself into the tube and plug it up, it doesn’t necessarily make all your electrical contacts. So, the technician told me to plug the power into the light tube, stick it into the holding fixture itself and then when I did that, it started working.
I give my tenant a gallon of bleach every month when he comes to pay rent and he's pretty much keeping up with that. I'm going to check the pre-filter the 1st of October which would be three months in. I would check the filter system and I bought an extra filter while I was getting my UV light swapped out, too. So, those were the things that needed to be done with the water system. Still, I've asked my tenant the last couple of months that he has come over if he has had any problem with the water there, and he said there has been none. Overall, I had a pretty decent experience with Pelican and I'd recommend them.

I went out and bought a belt wrench and was able to get the filter housing off to change the filter. Pelican's wrench to remove the filter should be beefed up, so it could be a little stronger. But other than that, we have a plumber installing a second water system from Pelican at our home in Florida. The plumber recommended Pelican and he's taking care of it all there.

So, I paid less when I made my purchase on the internet. After that, Pelican promptly sent a rep who was really nice. Then I negotiated with Expert Plumbing for the installation of the system. When I called Expert Plumbing and asked if I should get Halo or Pelican, they told me to get Pelican because it's a good system. They thought highly of Pelican and they were tickled about it. And the day the guy from Expert Plumbing was supposed to put it in, he quit on them. But it was fine because the owner himself came out and put it in.
So far, the Pelican system is working great. I got it for my whole house that is over 3,000 square feet with three and a half baths. The Pelican system adds value to the home and it’s a plus any way you look at it. If somebody walks into my house, they’re gonna pick my house over one that doesn’t have a water filtration system. I’ve got the double tanks and the filter and they can see all the dirt and debris if there’s any. And if you open the system, you have to be careful because it’s up high and you have to hold it underneath because it has water in it.

We were moving to Texas and the home we bought had a well with VERY hard water and sulfur odor issues. Professional well testing was done along with a water analysis. No bacteria - very clean water, but very hard water. I have had a liver transplant and am always aware of food and water safety being a retired RN. We called and explained our challenges and asked for their professional opinion on what system would solve our concerns. We ended up spending $2600+ on a system and another $1500 for installation by their recommended installer. It fixed the sulfur odor, I'll give it that.
The system looks like a drunk monkey installed it. None of the lines are level, there is NO shutoff valve so we can't even bypass the system. It is impossible to run 2 faucets at once or the flow drops to a slow trickle - thank goodness it is only my husband and I. I should also mention that the home inspection revealed that the water pressure was on the high side prior to this system being installed. I called today to see if something could be done. The service person had a very kinda "so what" attitude. No solution or suggestions offered, just "too bad".

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the installer you hired did not do the job in a satisfactory way. Since you hired and paid that installer separate from Pelican Water, we recommend you contact them about the quality of their install.
Regarding your claim of our system being a total waste of money and very shady; We reviewed your live chat transcript with our agents and you never once mentioned you were concerned with or had hard water.

There is however a nasty sulphuric smell. What can you recommend for us?"
We sold you the system that would resolve the issues you told us about which was the sulfur and bacteria. As you noted in your feedback the system has resolved those water quality issues. The conversation you had with technical support today explained that you would have to add a softener to deal with hard water, so a suggestion and solution was offered.

The water in the house doesn’t taste good at all and the Pelican consultant understood exactly what the problem was. He made several suggestions and didn’t try to sell me anything. He just told me what they have that would work to rectify my problem. Putting the tanks and getting all that stuff in was pretty straightforward. I bought an additional installation kit that they offer and used almost all the parts that came in it. I hired a professional plumber to put it in and I wanted to make sure that this was a permanent installation as far as the piping and everything goes and I wanted it done right. I ended up putting in all-copper and that was a very expensive installation. My installation cost as much as the tank system did itself.
Also, I suggested to Pelican that instead of giving me one of the hose coupling, they should have put two of them in there because it would have made it a lot easier to drain the thing and refill it. The hose coupling is screwed onto the tank that a garden hose can be put on so that it can be filled up with one garden hose and then stick another garden hose on the other side to drain it out. It’s used when flushing the tank out and I would have paid for it in the kit. It would have been no problem to me. It was worth it to do that. At some point, I will call them and purchase one and have them send it to me. Other than that, I’m very happy the way the system came in, the way it works, and the look. It's a whole-home filtration system and everything in the house is filtered. Also, it fixed the problem and made the water completely different-tasting.

The city water sucks. It has a taste and it’s got a smell to it because of the rain and all the other crap. I purchased the whole house system with the ultraviolet lighting add-on from Pelican. I covered all the bases and the water coming into the system now has no taste or aftertaste. It’s very clean and very clear water. We don't have crud all around our dishes either. When we drained our dishes, we used to get all that white crap from the city water. They either don’t control the chlorine or put so much in it. They figured they’d kill everybody. If you go buy a little bit of chlorine and pour it on concrete, it will leave a hole right through your concrete wall. It's an acid. And you're gonna drink it? They use so many parts per billion but it's still a part that's going into my body. It’s silly but since installing the system, even my dog is healthier.
My wife also said that if you have rigorous city water or regular water of any kind, your toilets are constantly dirty. We have one bathroom in the middle of nowhere in the house and we don’t go there. That bathroom could go without usage for a month and before, we'd have to go back there and scour the amount of stain off of the bowl. But now, it doesn’t matter if it’s for a month or three months, there is no brown water or residue of any kind. The other thing I noticed that is extremely different is how our skin feels after showering. I have a brother up in Ohio and a sister out in Texas, and they’ve both commented on that as well. My sister said that in Texas, she would use $9 worth of conditioner on her hair because it would be all frizzy and dried out. But she was here for the week and she had not used any conditioner on her hair.
I have recommended Pelican to many people at this point. If you’re gonna buy something, Pelican is the one they should buy. I researched multiple systems and I had people come out to the house. These were people who were in the business of selling this stuff but they couldn't answer any of the questions that I had. They were 40 and 50-year-old residents passing themselves off as professionals. On the other hand, the man from Pelican who was on the phone with me answered all of my questions perfectly. He was a young man but was very informative and very knowledgeable. Even Pelican’s website was very informative. It answered all of my questions.
On top of that, the rep was also extremely accommodating. I am a disabled veteran and once he found that out, he looked diligently for any programs that could offer me some discounting as a veteran. He found a few that fit the bill and saved me some money. He was outstanding. The guy should either get a raise or a promotion. In fact, we went to the point of writing a letter on his behalf to the president of the company.

We have extremely hard water and I had a salt system and I wanted to get rid of it. I called Pelican and it was excellent. The rep asked me questions and told me what would be the best system for me. We ended up getting a NatureSoft and something to deionize the water. I’ve greatly noticed that the quality of the water is much better than with the salt system. Also, I can water my plants now and I can drink the water without any concerns. The system is working great.

We had really hard water at our house and it didn't taste very good. Then the existing saltwater softener we had finally crapped out so I got Pelican Water. I did everything online. I researched their products and read some reviews and researched some other brands and settled with them. I got the whole-home filtration and water softener. The water definitely tastes better and it's more clear. We don't see as much debris or whatever you would call it in there. I don't think it's super soft, but I didn't really ever like the salt softeners because they were too soft. I would recommend Pelican.

I highly suggest purchasing from Pelican Water. I always had a mistrust of water and so I purchased from their online site the reverse osmosis unit, as well as the sediment filter and water softener. The website is straightforward and I had also spoken to a rep regarding a filter. When they came for installation, they were extremely helpful. It was painless and they got here really quick. Since the installation of the system, the water doesn't smell of chlorine and the mineral content is down. The water is much more pleasant to drink now. I was really pleased with my experience. While I have no complaints, it would be nice if they had people in different places that they could recommend to install their system.

I was searching for a system online and I saw Pelican, looked at their reviews and looked what they were offering, including how the system works and operates. The sales rep was great. He tested the water and showed me because my water was not that bad. He told me the truth, which I liked because some salespeople will tell you a lie so that you can buy more. I got the system for the whole house because I only had iron oxide in the water and I installed it myself. Whatever questions I had, I called the technical support team and they were very helpful. It was an excellent service.
Now when we take a shower, we have more suds than before and we use less soap than we usually would. The iron oxide that was in the water would leave rings in the toilet, and I don’t see that anymore. I would recommend Pelican because from a clinical point of view, older people should go with this type of system instead of the salt system because the salt system might create more health issues for them than this one.

There was calcium buildup on our faucets in the bathrooms and then the sinks, and I wanted something other than a water softener that uses salt. I had a salt system in another house that I lived in in Kansas and I didn't want to have that again. There were different alternatives to using the salt and I saw the good reviews of Pelican online.
I had also talked with somebody from Pelican a couple years ago. We had some back and forth but I wasn't able to purchase the system at that time. But I still had it at the back of my mind that I wanted to try to get back to him. I still had his name and I called this time. I got somebody else but that person was just as helpful. I ordered the 1600 with him and the price seemed reasonable. Pelican has different discounts going on all the time so I got a good value for the system I got. The water feels different now. The soap feels different on your body when you're trying to get it off. The dishwasher and the kitchen sink are also cleaner. They don't have all the buildup. We're happy. The 1600 is a good product.

We went from a residential well to a home on a community well, which had chlorine and I didn’t want that in the water. I’m very handy and I researched which filter I wanted to get. Pelican maintains the warranty even if it’s user-installed while in some other systems, you have to have the vendor put it in and I didn't want that for a water filter. Their system works extremely well and it’s very easy to install. It’s doing exactly what I hoped it would do. Now there's no chlorine anymore, which is what I expected. The only recommendation I would make is if somebody buys the system, it should be easy enough to do the warranty registration online instead of sending the card in.

The city water in Arizona is terrible. There are a lot of minerals and deposits. I could see the calcium buildup on all the faucets in the house I bought here. We were also not a big fan of taking a shower and not feeling like the soap can't get washed off. So we needed some kind of system. I did an online search for salt-free water conditioning systems and Pelican was one of the systems that came up. I bookmarked three or four different entries into the Pelican site and I got at least three different prices on the system. So you got one price depending on which way you went into the site. After I ordered the system online, Pelican’s service rep called me. He wanted to talk to me about it and he was helpful. It turned out that the system I bought was the same one he had put in his house. He told me it was simple to install, which it was. He also confirmed, placed the order and shipped it at that point.
They shipped in a timely manner and got it here undamaged. Then it was actually installed in about an hour and a half. It was real simple 'cause I ordered the installation kit.

I live in an area that has extremely hard water. I searched on the internet for water conditioners and I learned about Pelican Water Systems. The discussion of our water quality was mainly through email and I asked a few questions regarding how the system worked and what to expect, and it sounded like what I wanted. However, the Pelican website is a bit confusing. There was a large number of choices on there. For example, if I was going to a find replacement media for my different tanks, it was a little difficult to find, although I had their consultant walk me through it. It was very easy when someone was explaining it to me. But even though I work in computers and web-based things, the site has so much information on it that is extremely complex.
The primary thing that I was told was that there’s no salt flushing of the system. And because I have a septic system, it was very important to me to not have that salt flushing in. I have the PSE2000 installed and the water is noticeably softer and extremely clean to drink. Prior to putting it in, we had a small amount of sediment in our water. We have a well, so it was pulling up whatever was underground. But going through the Pelican system, it filters out any bad taste or any small sediment and I’ve noticed there are no hard water stains on my tile. The whole experience turned out to be a lot better than I had hoped for.

I looked at different types of home filtering systems and water softeners and I’ve had the old style water salt type things before, but I didn’t wanna go that way. When living in California, they’re not too keen on it. A LifeSource person came out and did a demonstration for me in-home and I liked the way their system was, but I started researching and found Pelican Water Systems, so, from there, that’s where I got started. I knew we have the hard water here because I used to live in Las Vegas in Nevada and we had extremely hard water there. We had a system there as well, although it wasn’t a Pelican. I was concerned that I needed the system here. It was a new construction home and I wanted to get it started off right. We had only been in it for about six months and it was already starting to show some calcium deposits and spots, so I wanted to get a system.
Pelican recommended a company that wasn’t even close to where we live. They were about 60 miles away, so I just went with a local plumbing company and had them make me a bid in coming out and installing it once I got the system shipped. I had just the water filtering system with one tank at first and we had it for almost two years. I was so impressed with what I had, but I talked to my next door neighbor and he actually went with the whole of the dual system. My wife said that she would really like to have the softer water and seeing what was my neighbor's once he had it installed, I decided to go back and reordered the softener as well after a few months. We’ve had that in for a good year.
Pelican told me it would take a while for the system to start breaking down whatever build-up I had in the pipe, and sure enough, every so often, I had gone back a couple of times after a few months and had taken out my aerators and rinsed them out. Sure enough, there were still little deposits breaking loose and coming together. In fact, it filters so well. At first, there were only two of us and I had changed the filter down from five months to four months to three months. It gives us a range of how much we use it, how many people are in our household, and how often we should change our filters. Now, every three months I change the filter because when I pull it out, it has really collected a lot of particles and I can see it in the filtering system, so it’s really working and it really does a good job. The water is much softer and I don’t see any new additional build-up on any of the faucet heads. It really has made a difference.
I talked to my friend next door and a couple of people I know down in the neighborhood into buying one, but they went with much more expensive units and water systems. My neighbor across the street has one of the local water softener guys. He said it comes with replacement of the tank every month type thing and he’s considering changing it out. He wanted to see how well mine works. He’s interested and he has done some online research, too, that he is considering getting the Pelican as well.

So glad to hear your Pelican System really has made a difference and the water is much softer and you don’t see any new additional build-up on any of the faucet heads. Thanks for recommending Pelican.

The taste of the water was getting worse and that led me to do a lot of research using Google and reviews. I wanted to get both a water filter and a water softener, and Pelican seemed to be one of the only ones that would provide a water softener without having to use salt or saline. I got two tanks, one for the water softening and one for the carbon filtering. Unfortunately, they don’t soften the water as much as I would like. But as far as the carbon filter, it’s great ‘cause the water has no taste which is wonderful. When I ordered the carbon replacement for my carbon filter and when it came to me, the bag was broken open and there was carbon everywhere.

Then I remembered Pelican, so I researched them online and I decided that it was the way to go. I also decided that I didn’t like going salt anymore and Pelican is the only one I know of that is salt-less. The rep answered all of my questions except one that I was concerned about regarding the rust stains. He told me that their system would take care of it, though maybe he didn’t have all the information or I didn’t have all the information and we weren’t communicating properly. The GPM of the Pelican System that I have is not enough to handle the sprinkler system and still be able to flush toilets or run the water in the house.
I’ve got the water softener, the bacteria filter, the carbon filter and the iron filter at the same time. Water quality is good, though I noticed that I’ve got some black residue in the tank for the chlorination and I’m not that sure what that is for. Also, a pre-filter does not have a drain on it so when you wanna change the filter, you have to bleed the whole system down. I’m going to put a shut-off before and after the filter and put a petcock at the bottom so that I can drain the pressure off and then change the filter. That would be a good thing for Pelican to have as opposed to somebody else having it. Also, the nylon fittings that they have don’t work for shut-off valve brasses.
I had a reverse osmosis filter system on my kitchen sink with the water tap and the Pelican system has made it obsolete. I compare the water taste to Ice Mountain and there’s no difference between the two. If anything, because I’ve got the reverse osmosis system under it, the water in my house tastes better than the bottled water you buy in the store.

I'm very satisfied and I'm glad I bought this. Pelican's team has been doing very well. I recommend other people to install a system and use this company's products. I change my filter every six months and I notice how brown it is. It was bright when it was installed so there are impurities coming from outside water supply. Thus, it's important to have a good salt system. Pelican's system does the job.

So glad to hear that you are very satisfied with your Pelican System. We are pleased to hear that you found our Water Consultants knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for recommending Pelican.

I was doing research through Google because of the taste, smell and color of my water from where I live and I saw Pelican. Their website was good and easy to use. I asked the consultant the kind of features, the kind of pollutants that would be eliminated through the filter, the kind of warranty and durability the filter would have and he answered all my questions. He was very well-informed, friendly, very calm and direct in my questions. He was not pushy at all as far as buying the system so, very good. I bought the three to four-bedroom filter system since that one fits my house. Now, the taste of the water is fantastic, the clothes are whiter, there’s no smell anymore and the water is drinkable. Before, I was even afraid of brushing my teeth with the water. I have completely different water and I would recommend the system to anyone.

So glad to hear that now the taste of the water is fantastic, the clothes are whiter, there’s no smell anymore and the water is drinkable.

I’ve had Pelican Water Systems since April and I remember telling someone that the true test is next winter because I was having really dry skin and I was sure that a part of it was from the dry weather that we have up here. I got the Pelican shower filter and since then, I have lesser dry skin. I did the installation and it was very easy. When I ordered the system online, everything went fine and I have suggested it to friends. However, those bathroom smell things in their website worth three for 12 bucks comes with a shipping fee of $8. So, I have to wait until I get down to a major city which is three hours away. Home Depot has them and I don’t have to pay for shipping.

I live in Sacramento and the water was really bad. I wanted to make sure that the water is nice and clean, so I called Costco. Costco was selling me some salted water systems and the rep said it would cost 6,500 to install. However, I don't like salted. I have people in my family who had salted ones and they said that after about two years of use, the system would get rusted. I thought that there must be something out there without salt, so I started looking for it and I found Pelican Water Systems. They have an unsalted water system and they are used by hospitals.
Using Pelican's website was good. I found everything I needed. I called them and the guy named Robert told me to buy the basic ones. He also said that I do not need the expensive ones since those are for the places that have a well. I then bought a system and he sent me all the videos on how to install it and gave me two filters for free. He also said that every five years, he’ll send me an email to remind me to fill something.
Since using Pelican's system, my swimming pool has been nice and clean. My granite countertop has no calcium and the water feels a little silky and is better too. I also don’t have to spend money on my nice refrigerator with the water filter that I spend $55 every two months. I've always shown my water system to my family and some friends.

We bought a new house and the water was unacceptable for my wife. I was okay with it but it had a sulfur smell and I had a little reddish tint in the toilet and the sink. So, it led me to get a water treatment unit from Pelican Water. They had a very personable sales consultant, John. He presented himself very well and was very knowledgeable. He did a great job. He brought out a mobile display and he offered a 5-micron filter, a sulfonator, a softener and the filter to take care of any sediments. It was everything I needed. He had a fix for my iron, sulfur, microbial and water issues.
But unbeknownst to him, I already did a water sample and I knew what my water issues were. He came in and he had his own way of testing the water, while I was standing there, and he produced almost exactly the same results that I already knew about. I did my own install as I'm an engineer. I did lots of reading and lots of manuals. I also called their tech support. I looked at several videos and I engineered into buying my own system. I had some questions about the way the valves were configured on the charcoal tank and the softener tank but once I got it all installed and I had everything laid out the way I wanted it, my questions were answered. I sent pictures back to Pelican and they were really happy with the way I installed it.
I bought the complete system and got $4,000 wrapped up in all the equipment. The products are above standard comparing it to the Home Depot, Culligan systems or the Lowe's pipe system that can be bought at the big-box store. Pelican’s system is far better. The equipment’s quality on the outside is better and the performance is even better too. In the beginning, I faced weeks of running the system before I started seeing positive gains because the pipes and the hot water tank and all the fixtures in the home took some time to get cleaned. We didn’t live in the house full time so we weren't constantly taking showers and washing clothes.
So, once I got a couple weeks of using the water, I noticed an incredible change, not only in the taste but the smell and the way it was leaving the toilets. Also, my wife told me that she shampoos and conditions her hair and it was an unbelievable change. I tell people that everything I've heard about Pelican and seen with their systems is true. One of them bought from Pelican and Pelican sent me a gift card. My neighbor had been over here and she took at least a dozen pitchers and thought it was wise. Now, I've got four people recommended. One of them has purchased and I installed her system as well. She is extremely happy. I would definitely recommend and I'll continue to recommend Pelican Water Systems.

So glad to hear you noticed an incredible change, not only in the taste but the smell and the way it was leaving stains the toilets. Also, nice to hear about the improvements in the shower. Thanks for recommending Pelican.

I had a good experience with Pelican Water Systems, but I would have liked if they stayed with the first price they gave me. I called Pelican to get a price, then I called companies and got prices. Pelican was cheaper, so I called them back. However, they told me that they couldn't honor that price anymore. The first rep that I talked to who gave me the best price was unavailable to talk to, and the next rep I talked to, Jim, jacked up the price by $100. He ran the price of everything up really high. He also tried to oversell me stuff and I had to back off on that. But I just went ahead with Pelican. I got in contact with another salesman who told me that while the stuff I got was fine, I could probably get by with less and add the other if I needed it down the line.
A big difference between Pelican and the other providers I looked into was that with Pelican, I got to pick the plumber who would install the system, whereas with the other companies, they installed and did everything. And there were some savings for me by doing it the way that I did it. The plumber I got has never done such an installation before, but we talked it over and he knew what he was doing. He did it and the whole thing looks very nice. Everything's squared up and done properly.
Another thing was, Pelican's website could have also been better and a lot more informative. There were hidden things in there. I was searching for the estimated cost to install, estimated time to install and the time it takes to filter out the old pipe into the new system. After I got it and got the instructions, we started reading the instructions and that was when we found out that it was gonna take 45 days before the filtering system would kick in and filter everything out. We're still working through the filtering system time because my water isn't clear like I would think it should be. So, we're working through it and getting it there, but, I've already recommended Pelican to two other people, one of them was the plumber itself.

So glad to hear that overall you had a good experience with Pelican. Our sales do fluctuate, so perhaps we may have been running a different sale. Please contact our technical support team at your convenience, so that we can clarify the confusion about the 45 Day break-in period? All of our filters provide instant filtration upon install.

But a week after we put the system in, it started to leak. So, I gave Pelican a call and they told us to tighten it up, and that was what I did. It was fine for a year, then it leaked again. I called them and they said that we already called them that we had a leak once and they sent me a whole new unit. But I had to take the old one apart and put the system back together, which was like installing it again. Nevertheless, our experience with Pelican has been good and I’m very satisfied with their system and their service.

Five years ago before we were building our house, I was looking for a salt-free water softener. We knew that the water in the neighborhood was pretty hard. There weren’t that many choices with Pelican Water Systems, so it wasn’t too difficult to choose what product to get from them. The system we got doesn’t provide soft water though, so it was a marginal solution. The minerals are still there and they still build up. Still overall, we’ve been pretty pleased with it, especially in terms of filtration.

My contractor had drawn a water treatment system in, so I went ahead. I was looking for a salt-free system on the internet and Pelican's system came up first. After I read about it, I was completely satisfied. However, I was in a hurry when I finally decided to start with Pelican. I put in my order and it took me about ten minutes. I didn’t realize there were more options and I only got the single tank but it’s working great. When the tank came, I had no problem whatsoever. My plumber did it himself and I was a piece of cake. I’ve dealt with this kind of inline filter before and it was simple.
It was the first time the well had ever been used, so it took me a while changing the five-micron filter about once a month until I got my well to the point where it didn’t turn the water a color. And now, it’s perfect. Pelican Water is easy and you don’t have to mess with anything except watch your filter and they’re supposed to only be there for six months.

I was told by the customer service that the delivery would be free AND an absolutely easy scheduling! Since I am not home all the time I would just have to purchase the Water Filter System first and then I could change the delivery date to my convenience! That sounded like a really good delivery service to me! After I had purchased the filter system, the delivery company charged me $42.00 for the change! They would only deliver if I paid the $42.00! This is what they call FREE DELIVERY! Is it really so difficult to be honest and inform the customer correctly? If I am told the delivery is free and easy to schedule, I believe that! I called for a refund but the customer service person behaved as if I should know about the extra charge and that this would be a "I said, he said" case! I am disgusted by such practices.

I wanted to get rid of the chlorine because we're on city water. I talked to a contractor here in town and they recommended Pelican. We went with their whole home system. It has a sediment filter and then it has two tanks, one with carbon media in it which takes out the taste and smell of chlorine. And then there's one that's a salt-free water softener. The installation went perfect and we've had the system now for about five years.
The sediment filter needs to be changed every six months and as the manual said, the carbon media in one tank should be replaced after five years or 100,000 gallons. And after five years of having the system installed, we could start smelling the chlorine again. However, when it was time to replace the media, the company I bought the system from and installed it didn't have a clue what I was talking about. And they were not helpful at all. So I did my own research online and found a company to ship me the media and went from there. It came from some place in Florida and the company was very good. It was free shipping and I got the stuff quickly. Their instructions for changing it were perfect too.

Thanks for being a long time Pelican customer and for your review. Our Carbon whole house filters do last for 5 years and then a simple carbon change and you are ready for another 5 years of better than bottled water.

I had a great experience with Pelican and the sales rep was awesome. I talked to him six months prior to get an idea of what type of system I would need. But my husband and I had a budget which was a goal of ours so we waited until there was a sale going on. Then the sales rep reached out and let us know there was a good deal and that was when we made the purchase. We bought their largest system for water softening and filtration.
The sales rep also recommended a couple of companies for the installation. The guy we chose sounded like a good fit and he got the system installed but he wasn’t very punctual. 30 minutes before the appointment, he would say he can't make it so we've had to schedule again. And we did that three times. Then four times in one day, he would say that he can make it or he would say that he can't make it and that he would be three hours late. So my issue was more with him and I wouldn't use him again based on the experience I had with him.
Our county is the largest one in Georgia and also the worst in terms of water quality. It's not like other states where there's a sulfur smell. This one had high amounts of chlorine that you could smell. The water is turned pink and in a week's time after cleaning the toilet, you would have a pink ring around the toilet. Now, we don’t have that anymore. There's also been some difference in the taste and the smell of the water.

This is only the third or fourth one that was put in Utah. These big million dollar homes that have problems with swimming pools, their water softener systems didn't work and those pools were turning brown in the inside. So they went with this unit and I checked into it that way. I even went to the people's houses and talked to them and they were very pleased because their water system was much cleaner.

Three more years I could change out the big units but I change out the filters every five and a half to six months. I get my filters online and I order them from Pelican.
Meikel, the sales rep, was fantastic. Considering the size of our new home, we went through everything in figuring out stuff such as water quality issues and solutions. And they were gonna put in just a regular water softener in that. We've also had them put in an on-demand water heater along with it. We purchased a big Pelican Water System for regular water coming from the city. I've got it set up in the same room where my on-demand water system is in the garage.

The system has gotten rid of all my backwashing and now I have softer, cleaner and clear water and no electricity nor salt needed. It was a great improvement. I'm a happy man.

So glad to hear that you are happy and the system is providing softer, cleaner and clear water. We often hear that the old technology salt systems are costly and troublesome to maintain, so we are so please after research and talking to our Water Specialists you decided to go with a Pelican System. .

Pelican's website was very easy to use, and everything was black and white. I liked the price and what was explained the product was gonna do. I was pretty much set on what I was gonna get. I just needed a little reassurance and that was what the sales consultant gave me. He explained how the product works and he was very helpful. I got the salt-free whole house filter system and the water quality's good now so we're happy.

A lot of water systems are wasting anywhere from 50 to 100 gallons of water every couple of weeks. That's a lot of money going down the toilet. Aside from that, I didn't want to go with salt systems either because they will eventually damage copper pipes. I also heard that some areas of California banned the salt system so I think that's gonna be a problem later on. On the other hand, the Pelican system looked like a heavy duty filter or a very commercial system. There is also no wasting of water with that system and I would recommend it to anybody because of that. I even talked to a lady at Mesa City Hall and she sounded really happy with the fact that it's not wasting water.
I had a plumbing company come in and install the system. I got all kinds of copper pipes and I had a spray valve put in the system so I could choose when I wanna start the filter. I can turn the system off when I'm checking it closer. I also had a spigot put in because there's a lot of pressure in there. They put a plug in there initially and when I took the plug out, I took a bath because there was so much pressure up in the tube. Those are two necessary things that you wanna include when you install that system. When you shut it off, you can get a bucket and very carefully open the spigot to release the pressure that's in the system. The spigot is nice too 'cause I can wash my car with that water. Since I've seen how the installation was done, I can now install one myself too. It's mainly a lot of work lining everything and getting everything to fit right 'cause there was a lot of measuring.
The system ended up looking nice. It looks like a commercial system next to my hot water heater and it's doing what it's supposed to do. The water doesn't feel that hard anymore so it seems a lot better. So I'm pretty happy with the system. It has got a carbon filter, a regular filter and something else. There are two metal tanks and a filter inside of them. Those are changed anywhere from six to 18 months and they even gave me four free filters along with the system. It also came with some cleaning agent to clean those tanks off as they get dirty but I didn't take the plastic covers off. Pelican is really good.

So glad to hear the water doesn't feel that hard anymore and it seems a lot better. Thank you so much for the review, we are finding more and more customers are moving away from the old technology salt based softeners and moving to the easy maintenance, salt free water softener and filtration products. Great to hear that you have noticed a difference in your water quality since installing the Pelican System.

I’ve known about Pelican for years from just researching different systems. At the Orlando Home Show, their sales folks were great and they explained everything. We were in the process of debating which system we were gonna get and ended up winning the system for the whole house in the draw so that worked out really well. It has the main filter and the little pre-filters. I had them install it since that was part of the home show thing. The guy was really great, straightforward and very meticulous like me so I’m a happy guy. We had an RO system so drinking from the faucet wasn’t even an option before, but, now, we can. I have also noticed that some of the shower fittings are starting to clear up now. We have also got clients that we interact with a lot and they’ve asked about the system. We told them we won the thing but I would have bought it anyway. It’s awesome. I got to buy a second system for another house and I will put that one in.

I wanted to drink water right off the faucet instead of going to a store and picking up gallons of water. It's more convenient. So I researched about water systems. I just went online and purchased the Pelican Water system and installed it myself. If you're definitely a hands-on guy, it's easy. I got the 6-Stage Under The Sink system. Every 6th to 8th month I have to change one of the filters and then 12 months for one of the other filters. The website was straight to the point. Since the installation of the system the water is clean. It's a good drinking water. It has no bad taste.

We are pleased to hear that the water is now clean and has no bad taste. Working through our website and buying online is a great way to do your research and then select your product. Our design team will be so happy to hear your experience with the website was positive.

We have had Pelican for quite a while. I had used it in six years. I went online and looked it up, trying to find one that you did not have to replace the whole unit every time so you could just replace the medium. Pelican gives you everything on the instructions that you need. I ordered right online and had it right out to us. The website was as easy you could get, I don't know how you can make it any easier. It has been a really good product. We have the whole house unit in there. The reason I went to it was because our municipality for water went to chlorinated water and I couldn't stand it.

We are so pleased to hear that your water quality is much better and the chlorine is gone. Excess chlorine in city water is an increasing problem we help address every day.

Our water was pretty rough. There was a nasty rotten egg smell and color to it. The Pelican sales consultant was very informative. I gave him my square footage and told him there are two bathrooms. There are five of us in the house, and we do a lot of laundries. I have three kids. So, the water is constantly being used. He then recommended a specific system, which I purchased through him. I already had a water softener, but the cleanliness of the water has been much better since having the Pelican system installed.
There are, however, two drawbacks. One is the chlorine injector into the water as it is crazy loud. At night, it sounds like a BB gun hitting the side of my house. And the other issue is the holding tanks for the chlorine. It is only 35 gallons. So every five days, I have to put two gallons of bleach and 35 gallons of water on it. They definitely should have sent me a bigger container. Other than that, the system is awesome. I love it and it works great. I am satisfied.

So glad to hear that the cleanliness of the water has been much better since having the Pelican system installed. Odors can be difficult to address, so its nice to hear that the system is awesome and you love it.

I wanted a water softening system for my home. The Pelican Water System's sales rep was very good. Albeit the installation instructions led me to believe it was much easier than what it turned out to be. I paid for their installation kit but I took one look at the stuff and I decided I'd call a plumber to come and install it. And instead of taking two hours, it took him almost 4 1/2 to 5 hours to install it. It was not anything that a simple dude as myself could have installed, or even a handyman.
Also, there were two new valves that was needed to set up a by-pass and turn the water off and on. However, those were not included. And the carbon tank had to be set, filled with water for 48 hours prior to installation and then flushed out a couple of times. None of that was informed at the time of the purchase until the product actually arrived and I started to read the instructions. Nonetheless, the product is good. It's just that the communication on installation leaves a lot to be desired. So far, the installation seems to be doing what it is supposed to do.

Thanks for the review, very nice to hear that the system is good. However, we apologize for the miscommunication and will certainly share this important feedback with the team. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with the feedback we need to be a better Company every day.

I didn’t wanna leave my wife having to deal with a 40-pound bag of salts so I bought a Pelican Water System online and it was an easy experience. I have installed it and it’s in use. I had the regular series type of unit before. I’ve had several of them over the years. And I really couldn’t tell if it was working or not without testing the water to see if it’s any softer. But on the new unit, after a couple of weeks, it seemed to show evidence of working fine. Pelican Water System has no salt and it does not use electricity.

I’m a plumber and HVAC guy, so I know about Pelican Water Systems. It was time to get something to put a tank less water in. I needed a scale protection so I got a Pelican. I watched their prices go up and down in the website and I waited until it was at a decent price. I knew how much they fluctuated and then I called an order and got it done. Since then, our water is a lot better tasting. It’s got bluish tint now to it and our showerheads are not having any scale buildup as far as white stuff, which is a lot better that way.
However, the carbon filter of it is a little tricky to get. It takes 7-10 days to settle before you can use any high volumes. Being a plumber, I know what to do. But the normal guy would just turn it on and there would be black stuff in the water to turn the bypass on if you’re gonna take a tub bath or washing machine. But it all says that in the instructions. If you just follow the instructions thoroughly, you wouldn’t have any problem. You just gotta settle that carbon stuff down where it’s seated in there. Other than that, it’s great.

I was doing some research online looking for a water filter and Pelican Water was the best system that I could choose to put in myself. It looked like it was the most installation-friendly. I installed it in about 45 minutes and it was really simple. The maintenance was also a little easier than other water softeners. I liked the idea that the softener was salt-free.
I got the combo and the reverse osmosis system. I've had an RO before and I knew I wanted one, moving to a new house. I sent in a water sample for the other one then Pelican called and discussed it with me. I've explored their website. I was back to it a dozen times before I decided on the best system. I knew exactly what I wanted to buy when I placed the order. The man who took my order on the phone set up an automatic filter replenishment which was a nice deal. You kind of forget when you're supposed to do it, especially as the filter change comes out five years from now. And to get it delivered, it would remind you that it's time to change it. It was nice dealing with them.
It's only been installed for a couple of weeks now. The initial filter is starting to work through the system. They said that it would take about two to three weeks before the water softener actually starts cleaning up the pipes, even though the house was lived in for only four months before I installed the softener. I recommend Pelican. My daughter's putting one soon. She was waiting for me to put mine in to see if I liked it and I told her that I did. It's worthwhile having it in the house. Any filter is better than no filter. Pelican was straightforward and their ads would tell it all. Those were very helpful. The stuff was delivered when it was supposed to be delivered and the price was reasonable too.

Like most, when I began my research for a whole home water treatment system, I looked very hard at Pelican. There were many great reviews and the system looked good. It offered very little maintenance with no electricity or salt/potassium additives. So I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. Now, I live in a neighborhood that has city treated water to begin with, so I didn't need a system that someone who has well water would need. I only wanted softer water that I could drink out of the tap. Pelican delivered and set up my system with their "90 day money back guarantee" They charged me 3,032.49.
Long story short, after 45 days, I decided that the system wasn't working as advertised and I wanted to return it. They came and picked it up and said that I would get a "full refund". Well, that refund was only 2,223.57. The balance of 808.92 was a delivery fee which they are refusing to refund. 808.92!!! for delivery?!? If you provide a product that doesn't meet your customers expectations, you refund their money. Any associated costs, like delivery, are the cost of doing business and you eat it. That's good business. Pelican is not a good business.
I will make it my life's work to see that they never sell another system anywhere near my neighborhood. Think twice about their systems. I've learned a lot about water treatment systems since using Pelican's inferior product. A good treatment system has to backwash in order to flush out the sediment particles that it removes from the water, the system I had from Pelican did not. A good system must also add salt or potassium chloride to the water, Pelican does not. It is merely a charcoal filtration and particle filtration system, nothing more. Maybe the higher end systems are better, but mine sucked. It left stains on all of my cookware and the water just didn't taste good, I still needed bottled water. If I could rate them lower that 1 star I would. Buyer beware.

Hello,
Our records indicate that a full refund was authorized. You were contacted by our customer satisfaction team to address your concerns. Please understand that backwashing systems are not the most environmentally friendly systems due to the thousands of gallons of water waste each year. There are many areas of the country, where salt based softeners are banned or restricted.
Salt based softeners use an ion exchange process where salt is exchanged for hardness. When the salty waste is drained into a municipal sewer system the waste is treated by a process that does not remove the salt. The salt is then passed into the environment, usually a river. This raises the amount of salt in the river and eventually enters the groundwater.

I was diagnosed with cancer and I was told I'd better drink better water than drinking out of my city water. I had four people come to my house. Pelican Water penciled out, went with their cost and then their reviews were pretty good so I gave them a chance. The guy on the phone was extremely helpful, so he sealed the deal to a guy that was willing to buy it. I went to Pelican's website for informational purposes and then I looked for some clarification from the guy on the other line. Their website was pretty clear on what they had to offer and they were consistent with what they were. The process was simple.
But I had a little bit of an issue 'cause one of the parts showed up damaged and broken and they FedExed me one out immediately and took care of that right away. And the salesman told me how the water system works and what it does, what he recommended for me, and we all agreed. I made the purchase on the same call and I bought the whole water filtration system through the whole house. I paid a plumber to install it. Since I got the system installed, there wasn’t any difference and it’s mostly in your head that you have better water that you’re drinking.
Pelican did pretty well. On the other hand, whenever I called, whoever answered knew my account by my phone number. It was no starting all over every time I called, which was a nice feature 'cause I had to talk to a few different people when I had a broken part. I've already sold three systems so I should be an outside salesman for them right now. I almost considered calling them and asking them that because I have sold to my mom because she knows what's going on with me so she did the, "Why don’t I do that, too?". It has happened a couple of times since.

Thank you for your feedback, doing research on the best system to treat your water is definitely worth your time and effort. At Pelican we have a large portfolio of products that can address many problems relating to color, taste and odor found in well water. Thank you for recommending Pelican.

Pelican Water Systems was recommended by our plumber. The plumber told me which unit to look at. We have darker colored accoutrements in our kitchen. Pelicans have the brass faucets and those are actually not that easy to find. I thought I was going to have a separate faucet, so that pretty well sealed the deal. I went on and took advantage of the sale which was $50 off the normal price. I went online and ordered the R.O. unit. The website was straightforward. I just went in and picked out the one I wanted. I had a choice with three faucets. I got the oil rubbed bronze, went down and paid for it.
The system has been installed and it is working fine. The installation was smooth and quick, even though I didn’t do it. The plumber has installed others so he was familiar with Pelican. It was pretty painless. We had another system and Pelican was considerably less expensive. The water quality was equal to a more expensive unit that we had. Also, we can fill things a lot faster with this one than the old one. We went through the cycle of emptying out and running the flush in the tank a couple of times. The first taste was a little "not quite at the par" but that faded really quick and now, it tastes great. We're happy with it. I'd tell my friends that if they're looking for a system, they should look into Pelican.

So glad to hear that you are happy with the system and the water tastes great. Also, very glad to hear the installation was smooth and quick and its more efficient than your previous one.
