Pentair Premium Shower Filter
Pentair is a global leader in industrial water treatment, and their Pelican shower filter brings that expertise to the home. It features a high-capacity KDF-55 media bed and an integrated scent bar option for those who want aromatherapy without compromising filtration.
Ingredients & Purity
Primary media is KDF-55 (copper-zinc granules) which uses redox reactions to turn free chlorine into harmless chloride. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria and algae within the filter.
Scientific Evidence
Certified by IAPMO R&T against NSF/ANSI Standard 177 for the reduction of free available chlorine.
Brand Transparency
Pentair is a publicly traded company (PNR) with extensive third-party validation and clear manufacturing disclosures.
Value Assessment
Higher premium for the brand and the aesthetic design, but performance is top-tier for heavy metal and chlorine reduction.
Why Not Alternatives?
It offers a more robust build quality than Culligan or Sprite, with a focus on maintaining water pressure (flow rate) while still meeting strict NSF standards, which many high-filtration units struggle with.
