Q. What is the difference between water spots
(evaporative deposits) and hard water scale? |
Hard Water Scale
Hard water scale buildup is mineral deposits that form
inside your water heater, pipes, shower heads and
icemakers. This scale occurs because the water is
over-saturated with hardness minerals causing those
minerals to come out of solution and form scale on pipes
and heating elements. This scale can reduce water
pressure and damage appliances.
Evaporative Mineral Deposits
Any time water is allowed to evaporate on the outside of
faucets, shower doors and counter tops, dissolved solids
and minerals are left behind. When these solids are left
un-cleaned for a length of time they mix with soap and
dirt around them to create a hard to remove water
spotting deposit. Since the water has already
evaporated, the scale formed is no longer related to the
water, and adding a salt water softener will not prevent
this, because salt softeners leave sodium in the water,
which will also leave water spots.
The Natursoft Solution
A water softener will not stop water spotting. The
Pelican no salt water softener will help reduce the
amount of heavy cleaning you need to do to remove those
spots and will eliminate hard
water scale in your pipes and appliances. When treated
with Natursoft, minerals that are left behind on
surfaces when the water evaporates do not bond or stick
to the surface around them, making cleaning easier. With
Hard water scale prevented , the no salt water softener
has protected your appliances from damaging hard water.

Q. Does the NaturSoft filter out chlorine and chemicals
from my water? |
No, the Pelican NaturSoft is a water
softener/conditioning system. Its sole purpose is to
deal with the hardness in your water and not the
contaminants. If you are interested in filtering
chlorine and other chemicals from your water, you may
want to consider the Pelican Whole House Water Filter
and Softening Combo.

Q. What makes NaturSoft different from similar
technologies? |
|
Unlike other systems on the market, the NaturSoft is the
only salt free water softener certified for 99.6% scale
prevention with DVGW and requires only 3 seconds of
contact with the water; Others require 9 seconds or
more. The Pelican NaturSoft is unlike any other system
on the market. The NaturSoft is made in the USA and is
sold only by Pelican Water Systems. Another benefit of
going with Pelican is the lifespan of the NaturSoft
catalytic granules. NaturSoft catalytic granules have
been rigorously tested in the real world, used in the
commercial industry, and made to be non-sacrificial,
therefore it requires no "rest time", and requires no
replacement. Other similar technologies require
replacement every 3-5 years at costs of $600-$1,000 and
require you not use their systems for 8 hours a day for
proper rest!

Q. Is the Pelican Natursoft a water softener? |
Yes, the Pelican Natursoft is a salt free water
softener. Pelican worked closely with the Water Quality
Association (WQA) Gold Seal Certification Body and a
team of authorities on water treatment certification to
define what a water softener was and help expand
education to consumers about the differences between an
ion exchange (salt) and T.I.C. (Salt Free) water
softeners. Education has always been an important step
in Pelican's mission statement.
With all the new technologies being developed for water
treatment, its important that your water treatment
company help educate the consumer on new technologies
and how they benefit you. The Gold
Seal Body of the WQA agrees
that Pelican's Natursoft system is a water softener and
with third party testing showing 99.6% scale prevention,
Pelican is the only salt free water softener with a
proven track record on the market. |
|
Q. If the water hardness is tested after the system is
installed will the hardness level be different? |
If the water is tested after the NaturSoft System is
installed the hardness level will not be reduced. The
NaturSoft system uses a no salt technology called T.I.C.
which prevents hard water minerals from creating scale,
while still leaving those benefical minerals in your
water. The result is water that is balanced. Because a
hard water test only checks for the amount of calcium in
the water, and not if it will scale, the strip may still
show hard, but the NaturSoft is still protecting your
appliances and your home with treated water.
|
|
Q. How will the NaturSoft System be shipped? |
The NaturSoft Systems are shipped via UPS Ground in the
highest quality doubled walled box with side cushions
and a custom top piece. No expense has been spared to
ensure your system arrives in factory fresh condition.
