It depends on your water. Get a test kit first. Don’t guess. If your water is a little hard but mostly tastes like a swamp, Pelican is perfect. It’s the luxury SUV of water filters.
If your water is very hard, look at a traditional salt system. Or combine Pelican with a small softener. Yes, that’s redundant. Yes, it’s expensive. But your pipes will love you forever.
Pelican is for people who want great-tasting water without the hassle of bags of salt. It’s for the lazy environmentalist. The one who wants to save the planet but also wants their shower to feel nice.
Final verdict? It’s a yes from me, with a caveat. It’s not magic. It’s science. And it’s expensive science. But if you can stomach the cost and the install, your water will sing. Your ice cubes will be clear. Your plants will stop looking sad.
Now, go drink a glass of tap water. You’ve earned it. Just maybe wait until you install the filter first. Otherwise, you’re back to square one.
