Can this be used with the Pelican Combo Series? Yes, the drinking water purifier is a great addition to the Pelican Combo Series. The combo series will address chlorine and chloramine taste and odor, sediment and scale. This drinking system adds the benefit of bacteria and virus removal, lead reduction and cyst removal. Combined with the combo series, this provides you the best overall filtration for your home.

Can this be used with an ice maker or fridge? Yes this can be connected to a fridge or ice maker. You will have to purchase a seperate 3-way Tee to connect a seperate line to the fridge or ice maker. Will this system filter out fluoride? While carbon block is known to help reduce fluoride, this system is not tested for its removal. We recommend looking at a Reverse Osmosis system for fluoride removal.

Will this system change the TDS? While this system may reduce the TDS slightly as it filters out particulate, and cysts, the overall TDS will not be changed much.

If TDS reduction is your primary concern we recommend looking at a Reverse Osmosis system for TDS reduction. How Does The Meter Work? The meter is designed to ensure you never get untreated water into your drinking water. For 1,000 gallons the meter will measure your usage and when you hit the 1,000 gallon mark it will stop all water flow through the system preventing contaminated water from getting through. At that time you will change your filters and reset your meter which will monitor your water for another 1,000 gallons. How often should I change the filters?

The Pelican premium drinking system comes with a built in flow meter that will remind you when to change your filters. For peak performance we recommend you change your filters no later than 6 months after installation or after 1000 gallons of usage, which ever comes first. Never worry about when to change your filters again by signing up for our Q. Does this system require electricity?

The Pelican premium drinking system requires no electricity to filter your water and does not waste any water. It simply uses the incoming water pressure from your water supply to filter your water through a unique filter design that doesn't require electricity.

Share: Related search terms from, Whether you are new to the industry, a seasoned water treatment specialist or somewhere in between, understanding the standards that apply to residential water treatment products can be a daunting task. There are many different standards that apply to residential water treatment products, but for the most part, residential water treatment products can be separated into three categories: systems (units), components and chemicals. Each category can be broken into subcategories that depend on product type and anticipated end use. Drinking Water Treatment Units for Residential Water Treatment Drinking water treatment unit (DWTU) standards cover different types of products and treatment technologies but are similarly structured. All complete systems must be evaluated for materials safety, structural integrity (if subject to line pressure), product performance and product literature, labeling and packaging. In most cases, manufacturers may choose to test and certify as many performance reduction claims that fit their product, but at least one reduction claim must be successfully completed to achieve a complete system certification.

Water Filters NSF/ANSI 42 covers residential water filters making aesthetic (non-health-related or taste and odor) contaminant reduction claims. The most common certified reduction claims under NSF/ANSI 42 include chlorine, chloramines, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, pH adjustment, particulate reduction and bacteriostasis. NSF/ANSI 53 covers residential water filters making health-related contaminant reduction claims. The most common certified reduction claims under NSF/ANSI 53 include individual organic contaminants, fluoride, nitrate/nitrite, metals, VOC reduction and mechanical filtration. The WQA S-200 standard also covers residential water filters making aesthetic and health-related claims.

Nsf Ansi Standard 50

This standard references NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for all performance, structural integrity and materials safety testing but also allows materials safety compliance by providing proof that all wetted materials are compliant to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, Title 21. Reverse Osmosis Systems The NSF/ANSI 58 standard covers residential reverse osmosis (RO) systems.

At a minimum, all RO systems must undergo a total dissolved solids (TDS) reduction test that includes daily production rate, percent recovery and efficiency testing. The most common elective reduction claims chosen for RO systems to be certified under NSF/ANSI 58 include fluoride, nitrate/nitrite, perchlorate, metals and mechanical filtration. The WQA S-300 standard also covers residential RO systems. This standard references NSF/ANSI 58 for all performance, structural integrity and materials safety testing but also allows materials safety compliance by providing proof that all wetted materials are compliant to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, Title 21. Water Softeners The NSF/ANSI 44 standard covers residential cation exchange water softeners.

NSF/ANSI 44 requires all water softeners to be evaluated for pressure drop, rated softening capacity, water consumed during regeneration, salt efficiency, rinse effectiveness (chlorides remaining after regeneration), accuracy of the brine system and softening performance. Systems that satisfy the requirements of the standard for rated softening capacity and contain 100% sulfonated polystyrene di-vinyl benzene cation exchange media may also make barium and radium surrogate reduction claims based on studies that show barium and radium are effectively reduced when hardness is reduced to below 1 grain per gallon. The WQA S-100 standard also covers residential cation exchange water softeners. It references NSF/ANSI 44 for all performance, structural integrity and materials safety testing but also allows materials safety compliance by providing proof that all wetted materials are compliant to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, Title 21. UV Microbiological Systems NSF/ANSI Standard 55 covers ultraviolet (UV) systems for residential water treatment.

UV systems can be separated into two classes. Class A systems are designed to inactivate or remove microorganisms from contaminated water. Class B systems are designed for additional treatment of a disinfected public drinking water supply or other drinking water supply that has been tested and deemed acceptable for human consumption by the appropriate governing body. Class B systems are designed to reduce normally occurring nonpathogenic nuisance microorganisms only.

Distillation Systems The NSF/ANSI 62 standard covers residential distillation units. Common certified reduction claims for distillation units include TDS (with production rate verification), fluoride, nitrate, metals and microbiological reduction. The WQA S-400 standard also covers residential distillation systems. This standard references NSF/ANSI 62 for all performance, structural integrity and materials safety testing but also allows materials safety compliance by providing proof that all wetted materials are compliant to the U.S. Federal Code of Regulations, Title 21. Shower Filters NSF/ANSI 177 covers residential shower filtration systems making aesthetic contaminant reduction claims. The main reduction claim in NSF/ANSI 177 is free available chlorine, but the standard also requires structural integrity and a materials review to ensure compliance is achieved.

Residential Water Treatment Products Covered by Multiple Standards Some DWTU products fall under more than one standard and, if the manufacturer of the system decides, can be certified to more than one standard. In these cases, structural integrity and material safety are only conducted once based on the standard that provides the worst-case test parameters. Product literature, packaging and labels must meet the requirements of all standards to which a product is certified. DWTU Components for Residential Water Treatment Components of point-of-use (POU) DWTU products can be certified according to the standards mentioned above. Component testing and certification always requires materials safety testing and may require structural integrity if the component is pressure bearing.

Some components, such as filter cartridges and RO membranes, which can be used for obtaining certification for performance claims, may have performance testing conducted during the certification process. In most cases, this data would be only used by the manufacturer or used as a listing note as part of the component’s certification because the component manufacturer has little control of the conditions in which the component is used in the field. Point-of-entry (POE) components used for residential water treatment are covered by NSF/ANSI 61 for materials safety compliance. The NSF/ANSI DWTU standards reference NSF/ANSI 61 for all materials extraction testing conducted on POE products.

Drinking Water Chemicals Drinking water chemicals are evaluated according to NSF/ANSI 60. Chemicals are tested and certified based on a maximum use level in drinking water. Testing ensures that these chemicals are safe for use in drinking water and do not add harmful contaminants.

Still confused about the standards that apply to residential water treatment products, components and chemicals? ANSI-accredited product certification bodies, such as the WQA, UL and NSF handle certifications to these standards every day.
