I know Mark is very honest with his answer, that there is no certification, validation, testing standards, or credentials for the Salt Free Pelican, GreenWave, or any other physical water treatment devices. I have seen them all, and removed them all after customers learned the hard way that they did not work. Mark is also stating even his is not approved. Why do water treatment professionals sell them? Because consumers want to buy this type of crap, and we can sell them for less, and get the sale again after they do not work. But we are honest and tell you they dont work I will agree with Mark, and I do not sell either one of them.

At US Water, we have a hybrid water softener that acts as a carbon filter and water softener as well. http://www.uswatersystems.com/shop/categories/Water-Softeners/Fusion-Hybrid-Water-Softeners/ Then you can add a reverse osmosis system for drinking.

Our water tastes great, but it absolutely does NOT soften our water. Our showers heads clog, we have scale on the facets, etc. We have a hardness of about 15-17. If I could have the perfect solution it would be to have the salt water softener on all my hot water and the pelican on only my drinking water. I think the pelican is misleading when it says it 'softens'. We have had a pelican for 3 + years now. Our water tastes great, but it absolutely does NOT soften our water.

OK, give me some info: 1. What model Pelican do you have? 2. What model Green Wave does your friend have? 3. Is the water identical? 4. What does he like better about yours? You started this, so give me more information so that I can answer, or I will consider this a "drive-by shooting." This blog is about “full disclosure.” Give me the facts! By the way, I notice you live in Florida, near Winter Park, which is near Deland, which is where Pelican has their home. Coincidence? John,

My friend has a greenwave and I have a pelican and he likes the operation of my system better then his? Sounds like Mark might be a little jealous of the soaring pelican.
