|
Stage 1
5-Micron Pre-filter System -
The sediment pre-filter system reduces sand,
silt, sediment and debris in the supplied water
down to 5 micron (20 times smaller than a human
hair) in size. Routine replacement of this
5-micron sediment filter will increase the
effectiveness and protect plumbing and
appliances from excess sediment. With average
use, each filter is effective for approximately
6-9 months.
Stages 2 & 3
Granular Activated Carbon Medias (GAC) -
Pelican utilizes a blend of high-grade coconut
shell based activated carbons in the Pelican
Carbon Series Premium Whole House Water Filters.
The purpose of combining two types of carbons is
to gain a wider range of contaminant filtering
capabilities offered from each type of carbon. Learn

These media are designed to filter chlorine,
chloramines, pesticides, herbicides,
pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents and
hundreds of other contaminants that may be
present in your water.

granular activated carbon.
Stage 4
Pelican Media Guard - Copper and Zinc
Oxidation Media (KDF-55) -
We also include a patented bacteriostatic
copper-zinc reduction oxidation media for the
purpose of preventing and reducing the potential
growth of bacteria and algae.

The Pelican Premium Water Systems are wrapped in
premium stainless steel to ensure long life,
durability and unsurpassed quality ... Not to
mention they look amazing!
The Pelican Carbon Series Whole House Water Filter
Systems are specially designed as an Up-Flow System that
does not require any special process or instructions for
replacing the media. Other Down-Flow Systems on the
market do not allow for the media replacement as an
option because the homeowner would have to have special
knowledge or tools to complete the task. Many water
filtration experts agree that down-flow systems often
have channeling issues in the media making them less
effective in filtering out chemicals in the water
because the water is unable to reach the unexpired
media.
Channeling is the process where small tunnels form in
the media allowing water to flow in the same channel
every time. Water always takes the path of least
resistance. The Pelican Systems force the water in an
Up-Flow direction up from the bottom of the tank in a
swirling motion causing the carbon media to swirl. This
motion allows the water to have maximum contact with the
carbon media resulting in a very effective filtration
process without the possibility of channeling. This is
found to be the most effective design in whole house
water filtration systems.
It is important to understand how the carbon media
inside the Pelican Carbon Series Systems works;
Adsorption: the process by which matter (chemicals)
adheres to the surface areas of a solid adsorbent
material (carbon media). In layman's terms the chemicals
in your water are adsorbed into the carbon media on
contact. The carbon media does not release any chemicals
back into your water once they are adsorbed. We offer
the replacement media as a more cost effective and
environmentally friendly approach. When it comes time to
replace the media, you are not throwing away a tank,
fittings, or having to try and dispose of a complete
system. Not to mention the cost of hiring a plumber to
remove the old tank and install the new one.
Some companies are trying to discourage this process and
use tactics to scare the consumer into thinking that
they must buy a completely new system when the media
expires; this is unnecessary and not very cost
effective. The media is the fuel for the system (it's
like the gas in your car). If you had to replace your
car every time you ran out of gas that would be crazy,
the same goes for the filtration system. The tanks and
fittings are designed for this specific application. The
cost of the system does not only include the media
inside the tank, it includes many factors: the tank,
fittings, media, and labor to build, shipping,
advertising, and overhead. The media inside the tank is
only part of the cost of a complete system therefore you
cannot rate the effectiveness of the media based on the
low cost to replace it.
The Pelican Carbon Series Systems use an up-flow design
and do not waste any water while filtering and
softening/conditioning the water for your entire home.
While other systems use a down-flow design requiring
them to backwash once or twice a week wasting 100-300
gallons of water each time they backwash. The fact is
that we cannot afford to waste one drop of water. Water
is one the most important resources we have on earth.
The Pelican Carbon Series Systems eliminates the need
for an electronic head for backwashing because of its
up-flow design. No moving parts means less maintenance
and no service calls for damaged moving parts that
render the system unable to filter your water.
