No products found.
The Pelican water softener is considered a luxury model.
FYI — it’s extremely expensive, but guarantees “better than bottled water” quality.
Biggest benefit is its long-last filters — lasts up to 600k gallons without having to be replaced.

It also doesn’t require electricity, making it the lowest maintenance system on my list.
Downside is the price. It’s very expensive — (much higher than traditional water softeners).
