Media Soak
Figure 9
CAUTION:
The Pelican Whole House Water Filter must be in the bypass position during this process (see Figure 9).
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 9).
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 to 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
(small particles) 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).
