Filtration is a physical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium that has a complex structure through which only the fluid can pass. Solid particles that cannot pass through the filter medium are described as oversize and the fluid that passes through is called the filtrate. Oversize particles may form a filter cake on top of the filter and may also block the filter lattice, preventing the fluid phase from crossing the filter, known as blinding. The size of the largest particles that can successfully pass through a filter is called the effective pore size of that filter. The separation of solid and fluid is imperfect; solids will be contaminated with some fluid and filtrate will contain fine particles (depending on the pore size, filter thickness and biological activity). Filtration occurs both in nature and in engineered systems; there are biological, geological, and industrial forms. In everyday usage the verb "strain" is more often used; for example, using a colander to drain cooking water from cooked pasta.
Filtration is also used to describe biological and physical systems that not only separate solids from a fluid stream but also remove chemical species and biological organisms by entrainment, phagocytosis, adsorption and absorption. Examples include slow sand filters and trickling filters. It is also used as a general term for macrophage in which organisms use a variety of means to filter small food particles from their environment. Examples range from the microscopic Vorticella up to the basking shark, one of the largest fishes, and the baleen whales, all of which are described as filter feeders.

A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses generally have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into the kitchen or another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) may share part of the house with humans.
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also have other social groups, such as roommates or, in a rooming house, unconnected individuals, that typically use a house as their home. Some houses only have a dwelling space for one family or similar-sized group; larger houses called townhouses or row houses may contain numerous family dwellings in the same structure. A house may be accompanied by outbuildings, such as a garage for vehicles or a shed for gardening equipment and tools. A house may have a backyard, a front yard or both, which serve as additional areas where inhabitants can relax, eat, or exercise.
Pelicans (genus Pelecanus) are a genus of large water birds that make up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterized by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, except for the brown and Peruvian pelicans. The bills, pouches, and bare facial skin of all pelicans become brightly coloured before the breeding season.
The eight living pelican species have a patchy, seasonally-dependent yet global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone. Pelicans are absent from interior Amazonian South America, from polar regions and the open ocean; at least one species is known to migrate to the inland desert of Australia's Red Centre, after heavy rains create temporary lakes. White pelicans are also observed at the American state of Utah's Great Salt Lake, for example, some 600 miles (965 km) from the nearest coastline (the Pacific West Coast). They have also been seen hundreds of miles inland in North America, having flown northwards along the Mississippi River and other large waterways.
Long thought to be related to frigatebirds, cormorants, tropicbirds, and gannets and boobies, pelicans instead are most closely related to the shoebill and hamerkop storks (although these two birds are not actually true 'storks'), and are placed in the order Pelecaniformes. Ibises, spoonbills, herons, and bitterns have been classified in the same order. Fossil evidence of pelicans dates back at least 36 million years to the remains of a tibiotarsus recovered from late Eocene strata of Egypt that bears striking similarity to modern species of pelican. They are thought to have evolved in the Old World and spread into the Americas; this is reflected in the relationships within the genus as the eight species divide into Old World and New World lineages. This hypothesis is supported by fossil evidence from the oldest pelican taxa.
Pelicans will frequent inland waterways but are most known for residing along maritime and coastal zones, where they feed principally on fish in their large throat pouches, diving into the water and catching them at/near the water's surface. They can adapt to varying degrees of water salinity, from freshwater and brackish to—most commonly—seawater. They are gregarious birds, travelling in flocks, hunting cooperatively, and breeding colonially. Four white-plumaged species tend to nest on the ground, and four brown or grey-plumaged species nest mainly in trees. The relationship between pelicans and people has often been contentious. The birds have been persecuted because of their perceived competition with commercial and recreational fishing. Their populations have fallen through habitat destruction, disturbance, and environmental pollution, and three species are of conservation concern. They also have a long history of cultural significance in mythology, and in Christian and heraldic iconography.
Softener may refer to:
- Fabric softener, a conditioner that is typically applied to laundry during the rinse cycle in a washing machine.
- Stool softener, anionic surfactants that enable additional water and fats to be incorporated in the stool, making it easier for them to move through the gastrointestinal tract.
- Water softener, removes calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in hard water.
- Softener ball, a special plastic ball used to dispense liquid fabric softener in clothes washing machines that lack built-in softener dispensers.
A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning. Systems are the subjects of study of systems theory and other systems sciences.
Systems have several common properties and characteristics, including structure, function(s), behavior and interconnectivity.
Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance. It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food energy or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. In liquid form, H2O is also called "water" at standard temperature and pressure.
Because Earth's environment is relatively close to water's triple point, water exists on Earth as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor.
Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume (about 96.5%). Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation (0.001%). Water moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea.
Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in salt and fresh water bodies has been, and continues to be, a major source of food for many parts of the world, providing 6.5% of global protein. Much of the long-distance trade of commodities (such as oil, natural gas, and manufactured products) is transported by boats through seas, rivers, lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating in industry and homes. Water is an excellent solvent for a wide variety of substances, both mineral and organic; as such, it is widely used in industrial processes and in cooking and washing. Water, ice, and snow are also central to many sports and other forms of entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating, snowboarding, and skiing.

The install video was a huge help for the plumber. He had no problem installing the system. It talks up even less room than I expected. So far, our water tastes and smells much better.

Best choice for whole house filtration and softer water. We recently had three bathrooms updated and wanted to minimize any damage to the new fixtures. The old ones were corroded and crusted with a hard coating of crud. Installation was relatively easy especially after watching the installation videos and getting technical assistance from tech rep, Anthony.
by Tommy
It’s great not to add salt every couple of weeks./ The water tastes great… I installed the unit my myself, it only took a couple of hours.
by Kirk
Installed easily. Our water quality (taste) greatly improved and we now longer can taste the chlorine and chemicals that were there before. The softener has changed how the water feels as we shower and are waiting to see how the technology of leaving in the good minerals will affect our appliances and plumbing overall. Very satisfied with the product so far.
by Andy
Bought the PSE1800, wanting a more complete system. Within a couple hours and days we noticed the taste and odors of the water were dramatically improved. I bought the additional quick install kit. After having to find cpvc 1 inch piping (not and easy task) and getting a couple of quotes of 500 dollars to install, my cost total cost was about 250 dollars and about 2 hrs of my time. Plan to enjoy this system for a very long time.

Cool clear water and it tastes great. So far so good. The system is fantastic and I piggybacked it with a new tankless water heater. What a difference. We’ll see how it goes five years down the road when I have to replace canisters.

For 25 years living in Yuma, AZ using a water softener we have had to replace our electric water heater six times, and our water softener once because the resin tank beads broke apart and blocked all of our copper plumbing in the house. We replaced it with the Kinetico Premium system and this year they have had to replace the resin tanks three times because of leaks, and the control head required a part so that it could regenerate again. We have a GE GeoSpring heat pump water heater and after eight years it started to leak, this was using the Kinetico water softener with Morton’s salt. After extensive research and reading articles about the TAC (template assisted crystallization) system we chose the Pelican PSE 1800. Also because of an extensive study by ASU (University of Arizona in 2011) about the TAC system and using water from the Salt River (Tempe water), (CAP), and Scottsdale the TAC system out performed all other alternatives. The Pelican whole house system is by far the best one on the market, with their warranty, and the fact that it can handle hardness up to 75 grains and is part of Pentair a leader in water quality products. Also, our water company was in violation of TTHMs, and the carbon whole house tank will get rid of these by-products. We do not miss the slimy feeling that the Kinetico softener makes the water feel, and even with this softener we still had water spots to contend with. No more buying salt, no more brine water going into our septic system in our yard. The Pelican water in the shower feels great giving us lots of lather, and rinses clean, we can now drink from every faucet in the house, and we can see that the shower head flow is much better, less scale. We always wipe down the tile shower and glass door and so any spots left by the Pelican system will not be there. As a senior, and a woman, I installed the system myself after letting the carbon tank soak for 48 hours and flushing it out. The total time for the installation was two hours and 30 minutes. We are happy with our unit and have recommended it to our friends who live in the same area and have told them the benefit’s of this type of system.

This system was installed four years ago and has performed as desired. It has worked great and is completely self attending, no electricity, no chemicals and no maintenance other than changing the sediment filter. No, it is not a water softener but it does what it is supposed to do. And it does not create that “slippery feeling” that comes from chemical water softeners. It does this without the expense of salt, wasted flushing water and is better for the environment. Many communities have outlawed salt type systems due to environmental considerations. We have had no salt deposits anywhere in house since installing this Pelican system. Water tastes great. Shower glass and fixtures stay sparkling. Have had the system for four years and four months. We change sediment filter only once a year. Then still looks fairly clean. Have irrigation outside before system so expect system to last ten years before changing carbon. Note recommend using SharkBite fittings for a custom installation. They really work great! They are worth the cost! One caution. The system is not going to work for extremely hard water, according to my previous research. We have fairly hard water, it is around a number 9 as I recall. So if you have extremely hard water or extremely smelly water with iron or sulfur, best to get a thorough analysis and professional recommendation so you won’t be disappointed in results. Bottom line, this system will deliver great results at a price that cannot be beat. Granted professional installation will increase the cost but still the best solution in my opinion.
by Baylie
The filters are really great! Top notch quality and great instructions. Very good sales as well as technical support for the one call I had during installation. After installing everything and turning the water on, three o-rings leaked (2 slightly, 1 a lot). Turns out that when putting them in, they pinched a bit. The tech support gave great advice on how to remove and put new o-rings if needed. I also put a little silicon grease on the o-rings to ensure they didn’t catch/pinch again. Perfect fit 2nd time around. Best is water now tastes GREAT and also the hardness of the water is non-existent! Everyone is happy! I’m recommending this product to all my friends!

3 year resident of AZ, having moved from IA. My previous experience with a water softener system, was a purchase in 1996 from Kinetico. When I as 26, I didn’t mind lugging salt from the store to the car, to the salt tank. Today, at 50, carrying salt is not something that I see doing any further down the road. AZ water is hard, very hard. So hard, that within 2 years of our new home being built, the water had begun to etch the glass shower panels in our home. I was able to remove the damage, but the steps taken to remove that mess, are what fueled me to order the Pelican Whole House filter / softener combo. I opted for the PSE2000 for flow rate, since we have 5 bedrooms, however 3 are full time occupied. I had been researching this product for about 18 months. What kept bringing me back to Pelican, were the attractions of; ordering online (I don’t have to sit through a water test in my home), 99.6% effective certification, no salt!, no electricity, no discharge / no drain, no mess, low cost (investment and use), and most importantly – self install. Now, I’m not a plumber. Our house was built with a soft water loop in the garage. I had been eyeing that thing for 3 years, thinking ‘that looks pretty easy to hook into, I just need a system that I can install myself.’ Ironically, that was the part of the install that gave me the most hassle. Why? The first thing I would do next time is start with local code for water delivery within the dwelling. The first run at installing the plumbing prior to the pre-filter, was using PVC. I like PVC, always enjoyed working with it. What I didn’t factor in for this install, was that it’s 109 degrees outside and the humidity is around 11%. The time you have to produce a connection (prime, glue, connect) is about 10 seconds. I don’t like to move that fast anymore. So my first 3-valve bypass attempt, using PVC created a leak in one of the 14 connections I made. I cut it out, started over. PVC is inexpensive. The second attempt went much better, but again – 1 leak. Feeling defeated, I called a plumber to come give me a quote for installing the bypass valves and shut off valve prior to the pre-filter. He couldn’t get to me until the following week. He did inform me though, that PVC was not code for water delivery, in my area. He was going to use copper. Meh, ok, I don’t want the look (or expense), but I just want it working. Called a second plumber, who said he was going to use PEX. I asked if that was compliant with code, he said it was. Then he sent me the code, so I could see for myself (nice touch). He quoted me two prices, one shut off valve prior to pre-filter, and one with 3 way bypass and one shut off. 1 valve – reasonable, 4 valves … the price seemed too high. So I started researching PEX, prices, availability, how to work with it. PEX, was exactly what I needed. Cut the second PVC attempt out, started with the PEX, and in less than an hour, I had the water back on in the house (minus PSE2000). From there, life was simple. Figuring out where I wanted the pre-filter, routing of the home install kit johns guest lines, the return to the house, etc. So how does it work? The first thing I noticed, while taking a shower, was the soap I had in my washrag, lasted the entire shower. In fact, I had to rinse the soap out of the rag. This was different than the previous day, where I had to add more soap to the rag during the shower. Next time, less soap. Also, no slimy feeling. I don’t mind ‘slimy’, I know its soft water (competitor), but my family is not a fan of slimy feeling water. The PSE2000 does not produce this type of soft water. After the shower, my skin felt better. Before, we had to apply skin lotion upon exit from shower. Last night, not needed. The combination of previous hard water, the low humidity state in AZ … tough combo on skin. I think we’ve fixed that. I typically don’t like to review this early (day after install), but given the few weeks upcoming, it had to be done. First impressions point me to recommend this system to anyone. Again, low cost, no salt, desired results, self install, online order without speaking to anyone, solid shipping … it’s all great! If you are not a plumber, and have the lines ready up to the pre-filter … using the home install kit is an absolute snap. Connecting what Pelican sent me, took less than 30 minutes. If you want a water softener that is inexpensive, produces results, is easy to connect, uses no salt, produces no drainage, this is it. Everything worked as described in the instructions (READ them all, even the notes). This is well designed, and made simple install. The finished product looks great, and is all self contained.
