Hi Jon
It’s very interesting to hear you say this because my experience with this company hasn’t been the best either.
I hope the eventual product works much better than the ordering process.
Thanks for sharing your experience and let me know if there is any way that I can help.
Stay hydrated,

Hi John

They are both very good systems but I would personally go with Aquasana because it’s a lot more affordable and has much better customer reviews.

Check for yourself.

Search for Aquasana and Pelican whole house filters on Amazon and see which one sells more and has the most positive reviews, it’ll most likely be Aquasana.

Stay hydrated,

Hi Eric

The first question is do you have very hard water? Use a water test kit to find out because if your water is very hard e.g. Up to 13 GPM then you will definitely need a salt based water softener.

I’ve had a look at HydroFLOW and it’s hard to say since I’ve not used it personally. However, I recently tried magnetic electronic descalers and was not impressed. They hardly made any difference.

I don’t know if HydroFLOW is any better but it costs about the same as a regular water softener and softeners are guaranteed to work.

If you’re determined to go down the “salt-free” route then I usually recommend products like Aquasana because they usually include powerful filters so the water will be treated and improved in some way. Whereas magnetic and electronic descalers don’t change, filter or soften the water in any way – they only “prevent the white stuff from sticking to your pipes”.
