Water Filters for the Home – Pelican Water Systems

32 shares

Many pollutants exist in the water we drink, cook and bathe with. It’s important to know what’s in your water and then decide if you’d like to take steps to eliminate any toxins by using a water filter.

As our family moved into our new home in Florida, we took steps to make our home as “clean” as possible. The very first step we took was to install a whole house water filter.

Many pollutants exist in the water we drink, cook and bathe with. It’s important to know what’s in your water and then decide if you’d like to take steps to eliminate any toxins.

Did you know the EPA classifies chlorine as a pesticide? This is the mostly widely known chemical used to treat water to make it sterile. But if we’re trying to get away from pesticides by eating a clean diet, I certainly don’t want to be drinking, cooking or bathing in it. Hundreds of other contaminants (or additives) could be in our water including arsenic, lead, mercury, and solvents.

Many pollutants exist in the water we drink, cook and bathe with. It’s important to know what’s in your water and then decide if you’d like to take steps to eliminate any toxins by using a water filter.

Many of us buy bottled water to drink, forgetting about the water we cook and bathe with. The skin is our largest organ and can absorb many things it comes in contact with including contaminants in the water. Chlorine and other chemicals vaporize into the indoor air, too (primarily when showering). When chlorine vaporizes and combines with other organic compounds in the air, it becomes “chloroform gas“, which can have negative effects on the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. The EPA has also determined that chloroform is a probable human carcinogen (“may cause cancer”).

Let’s do a little math. It’s recommended that each person drink half their weight in water in ounces per day. So for a 150-pound woman, she should drink 75 ounces of water a day. A case of 24-ounce bottled water costs about $5.50. This woman needs to drink 3 bottles a day. If you add this up over the course of a year, her total cost for filtered water is $402. Now multiply that for your family members. It adds up quick, right? And we’re just accounting for drinking water. We haven’t even started adding the numbers for filtered water for cooking or bathing.

Many pollutants exist in the water we drink, cook and bathe with. It’s important to know what’s in your water and then decide if you’d like to take steps to eliminate any toxins by using a water filter.

 Here’s a snapshot of the water filtration system in our garage.

If you’d like to filter your water, where do you start? Several options include:
1. Filtered drinking water – A reverse osmosis system is a great choice. The tank sits under your kitchen sink and you can use this water for drinking and cooking.
2. Filtered water to bathe in – The Pelican shower filter is a simple-to-install filter which costs less than $100.
3. Filtered water for drinking, cooking and bathin – A whole house filtration system is worth investigating. The media inside the Pelican whole house water filter are designed to filter chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, industrial solvents and hundreds of other contaminants that may be present in your water. My family has benefited from this choice for over 4 years and we’re very happy with it.

Many pollutants exist in the water we drink, cook and bathe with. It’s important to know what’s in your water and then decide if you’d like to take steps to eliminate any toxins by using a water filter.

The good people at Pelican Water have agreed to give a Deliciously Organic reader one Premium Pelican Shower Filter. The shower filter removes chlorine, chloramines and other synthetic chemicals from the water before it gets to your shower. See widget below for details:

Disclosure: We decided to install a Pelican whole house water filtration system in our home. I wanted to educate readers of Deliciously Organic about the importance of water filtration systems so I contacted Pelican Water and asked them if they would be interested in a sponsored post. I am thankful to be able to work with a company such as Pelican Water which then allows me to create more unique content for you.

    Wow...I had never thought of the body absorbing the unfiltered water into our system. I thought that I was doing so good by having a filter on the fridge for drinking water. I think that it would be awesome to put in a whole home filtration system like yours!

    I would love to have a whole house filter, but we are in a rental in which we can't access the place where water enters the house. Hoping to move soon to a better place. But yes, I want ALL my water filtered. Right now I use a shower filter, and I let my drinking/cooking water rest for 24 hours or more before using, keeping about three and a half gallons going at a time. Takes a lot of counter space :(

    I would really love to win this! I live in Apollo Beach, FL and the water here is horrible! You can see small particles floating around when you run water from the faucet into a drinking glass. I have to use gallon water for cooking/drinking. The bathing water is definitely not good for my skin. It makes me itch. With a baby on the way I know I need to change something, but because I rent I can not add the whole house filtration. I need to get the Pelican shower filter and faucet system.

    Congrats! We bought a Pelican water system about 5 years ago. We love it! Living in a rural area brings some definite problems with the water. We have city water, however, when I had to clean the TANK of the toilet due to yucky water, it was time. There was also the fact that the turnips we watered with the city water died! We have 65 acres with a large garden and a cabin. We put in a system to cover ALL the property. It has been worth every penny. Even before we moved here and lived in the city, we filtered our drinking water and had a filtering shower head. I would encourage anyone to make this purchase.

    With regard to chlorine, I'm interested to know what levels are acceptable -- for instance, we swim in chlorinated pools safely (right?), but rinse off afterwards. So I'm guessing at one point in history, a specific amount of chlorine in municipal water sources was recommended, and there are those who oppose it and those who support it. I'd love a whole-house filtering system, especially one that involves osmosis because I'm also uncomfortable with fluoride, but I'm interested to see what, if any, clinical tests or studies have been done that isolate the physiological effects of these two chemicals.

Ww don't really want to replace them all. The somewhat affordable options might not be the best materials (PVC) and copper is too expensive. So the water, while filtered, still has to go through tye okd pipes. 2. How much are the replacement filters, how often is changing recommended and what exactly do they filter out... arsenic too?
