For well water specifically
Aquasana's Rhino Well Water + UV system is one of the most complete off-the-shelf well water solutions available. It combines sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and UV disinfection in a package designed specifically for private wells. For well water users who want a single-vendor solution without needing to piece together separate components, Aquasana is strong.
Pelican's well water system is comparable but the Aquasana brand has stronger recognition and review volume in the well water space.
Neither removes ironBoth are carbon/UV systems — not iron filters
If your well water has iron, manganese, or sulfur, neither Pelican nor Aquasana's standard systems address those problems. Add a Springwell WF1 upstream of either system for complete well water treatment.
