Pelican Whole House Water System Review
I love my Pelican Whole House Water System! Here it is again hot summertime and I DO NOT have a chlorine rash this year. After five years of doctors being unable to diagnose or successfully treat my mystery rash, I am now symptom free this summer after installing the Pelican filtration and softening system at the city water inlet for my house. I suspected chlorine might be causing my problems so I installed a Pelican Shower Filter and used filtered water for drinking, cooking, washing dishes and brushing my teeth. When my rash, cough, and breathing improved; I installed the Whole House Water System. It is well worth the approximately $3,000 I spent to purchase and install the Pelican system! Not only am I healthier (no more debilitating rash that itches clear to the bone and my cough and breathing have dramatically improved); I no longer have to pay all those high doctor bills; or buy all those expensive drugs and shots that did not help; or continue with the numerous blood tests, biopsy and exams. About 98% of municipal water treatment facilities now use chlorine as their disinfectant of choice, and about 200 million U.S. residents receive chlorinated water. The amount of chlorine added to the water is increased as water temperature rises, which helps explain why my difficulties began in the summers and finally cleared up in the fall months each year. I realize that most people do not have an issue with chlorine. For those of us who do, I believe a whole house water filtration system is mandatory. My research indicated that Pelican offers the best available. Pelican Systems are offered several places which include: Pelican.com, Amazon, and Home Depot. They also have well water treatment systems. Primary respiratory exposure is from chlorine gas which is released from running water and the hotter the water, the higher the gasification. Skin rashes, sometimes called swimmers rash, are caused by both breathing the chlorine gas and by contact with chlorinated water; and are considered to be “irritant dermatitis” rather than an allergy. A study presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine recommended that “swimmers utilize pools where the chlorine concentration of the water is kept below 0.5 PPM. They point out that recommended chlorine level for disinfecting private pools can be as high as 2.0 PPM.” My local water board has just increased the Maximum Residual Disinfection Level Goal from 3 PPM to 4 PPM for Chlorine. Since my problems began when the maximum chlorine level was three parts per million, I am feeling especially thankful for my Pelican System! Thank You Pelican!
