Pelican Whole House Water Filter with UV System Review
The Pelican PH6-UV is a 6-stage whole-house water filtration system combining carbon media filtration and UV light purification for comprehensive point-of-entry treatment. Stage 1 is a 5-micron sediment pre-filter. Stages 2-4 are catalytic carbon and copper-zinc (KDF) hybrid media for chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, and volatile organic compound (VOC) reduction. Stage 5 is a final carbon post-filter. Stage 6 is a 15 GPM UV-C purification unit rated to inactivate 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The UV stage is critical for households on private wells where microbial contamination is a concern, or for homes in areas with aging water distribution infrastructure susceptible to cross-contamination events. The entire home -- showers, cooking, drinking, laundry, and irrigation -- receives filtered and UV-purified water. Pelican backs the PH6-UV with a 5-year system warranty and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
