Are you sure it isn't 3.5 gpg. grains per gallon?

The Pelican is NOT a softener and will NOT remove iron. This one will not help you that way.

A water softener will remove the iron from the water. You do have to keep the resin clean of the iron. That can be done with the use of salt with Iron out in it. Should cost around $600.00-$800.00
