CAUTION:
The Pelican Whole House Iron and Manganese Filter and the Whole House Water Filter must be in the
bypass position during this process (see Figure above). The Pelican Whole House Iron and Manganese
Filter Bypass Valves can be placed in bypass by following the instructions on page 13.
1. Open a cold water faucet or test spigot close to the downstream of the Water Softener.
2. Turn the water back on at the main shut-off valve allowing the system to fill with water. The air
being displaced will escape through the open fixture downstream.
3. Turn the arrows on the Bypass Valve into the Bypass Mode position displayed above to bypass the
tank. This will allow you to isolate the system and restore water supply to the home/building
during the media soak.
4. Allow the tank to soak for at least 60 minutes.

Media Flush/Condition

CAUTION:
The Pelican Whole House Water Filter must be in the bypass position during this process (see Figure).
1. After the tank has soaked for 60 minutes, turn the main water supply back on or turn the arrows
on the Bypass Valve back into their original position.
2. Flush the system by running water for 5 minutes at a high flow rate of 5 GPM (this can be
achieved by using a bath tub or more than 3 faucets).
Note: The flush water may have a milky look to it. This is normal as calcium carbonate fines are
flushed from the system.
3. Rinse the system by reducing the flow rate to ½ GPM and run water for 60 minutes (this can be
achieved by turning one faucet ¼ of the way on).
4. Turn the Whole House Water Filter Bypass Valve and Iron/Manganese Filter System to the on
position (out of Bypass Mode).
