To understand how a Pelican water softener works, it is important to know what soft water actually is. By definition, soft water contains less than one GPG, or grain per gallon, of hardness ions. When a water-conditioning device reduces the level of hardness ions to less than one GPG, then it is known as a softener. If a water-conditioning device cannot reduce the hardness ions, then it is not
. considered a softener; rather, it is known as a water conditioner. Pelican water softeners work in two ways: protects filter systems and appliances from dirt and debris buildup, and it improves the taste of the drinking water. The softener system prevents calcium and magnesium deposits from clogging shower heads and faucets, which also returns lost water pressure. This system also removes existing buildup or hard water scale formation in the water heater and pipes. Since the Pelican water softener greatly reduces hardness ions, it is easier to clean appliances, sinks and tubs because hard water deposits wipe away without the need for harsh chemicals. The softener system does not use salt or electricity to reduce hardness ions, and it contains a rust-free aluminum bracket to ensure longevity. It has a pre-filter system that filters water down to 20 times smaller than five microns in size; therefore, it does not waste any water in the filtering process. Pelican water softener systems are easy to install and come ready for installation without any additional devices needed. Because it needs no electricity, it is a more eco-friendly alternative to other water filtration brands. The filtration system is sized to prevent water-loss, and the removal of hardness ions and buildup means that soaps work more effectively in the dishwasher and washing machine. In addition, the water produced is safe for pets, pools, gardens and spas.
