Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between water spots (evaporative deposits) and hard water scale?
Hard Water Scale
Hard water scale buildup is mineral deposits that form inside your water heater, pipes, shower heads
and icemakers. This scale occurs because the water is over-saturated with hardness minerals causing
those minerals to come out of solution and form scale on pipes and heating elements. This scale can
reduce water pressure and damage appliances.
Evaporative Mineral Deposits
Any time water is allowed to evaporate on the outside of faucets, shower doors and counter tops,
dissolved solids and minerals are left behind. When these solids are left un-cleaned for a length of time
they mix with soap and dirt around them to create a hard to remove water spotting deposit. Since the
water has already evaporated, the scale formed is no longer related to the water, and adding a salt
water softener will not prevent this, because salt softeners leave sodium in the water, which will also
leave water spots.
The Natursoft Solution
A water softener will not stop water spotting. The Pelican no salt water softener will help reduce the
amount of heavy cleaning you need to do to remove those spots and will eliminate hard water scale in
your pipes and appliances. When treated with Natursoft, minerals that are left behind on surfaces
when the water evaporates do not bond or stick to the surface around them, making cleaning easier.
With Hard water scale prevented , the no salt water softener has protected your appliances from
damaging hard water.
Q. Does the Pelican Combo Series pre-filter system remove COPEPODS from the water?
Yes. Since COPEPODES range from 30 microns to 50 microns in size, the supplied 5-micron pre-filter will
remove the COPEPODS. This method of COPEPODS filtration is approved based on the article found at
http:/www.oukosher.org.
