Important Information

 Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before

WARNING:

If this or any other system is installed in a metal (co nductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Some homes may have been built in accordance with building codes, which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded "jumper wire" bridging the equipment and reestablishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your systems use.

When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the syst em should be installed following the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro pneumatic

applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Whole House Iron & Manganese Filter - If the Red Clips are in the slots (female opening of Electronic Head) remove them. Push the male O-Ring side of the Bypass Valve into the female opening of the Electronic Head. Push the Red Clips back into the slots to tighten.

The Bypass Valve on the Electr onic Head can be set to Bypass or Service by turning the knobs on the side of the valve. If the holes are up and down then the tank is in the Bypass Mode. If the holes are side to side then the tank is in the Service Mode. Do not remove the red clips from the Bypass Valve after connecting to main water supply.

Note: The Whole House W ater Filter flows in a differ ent direction than the Iron Manganese Filter. The Red Arrows on the Whole House FilterBypass may be pointing in a diff erent direction then shown in Figure 2. If

this is the case, remove the Red Arrows by pulling them straight up. Turn them around and reposition correctly onto the Bypass Valve so they are positioned as shown in Figure 2.

You will not be able to use water in the house for approximately 25 minutes during the Regen process.

1. Press and hold the EXTRA CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

Note: Gears will make noise and water will start to flow.

2. Allow the system to EXTRA CYCLE for 25 minutes.

Your manual re gen cycle is complete and the tank is ready for use. Note: The days between regen may vary based on flow and Iron content. If you are unsure about the

days between regen please contact your Pelican dealer for further help.

Testing Chlorine Levels in Water

1. Put the carbon tank in bypass.

2. Turn on the nearest cold water faucet to the system.

3. Listen and watch the pump to make sure it is pumping. The pump should pulse and not run continuously. If the water is off, the pump will stop.

4. Let the water run for 10 minutes.

5. After 10 minutes, use the chlorine test strip at the running cold water faucet to check the chlorine level.

6. The optimum chlorine level reading is 3ppm on the test strip.

a. If the level is lower than 3ppm chlorine, remove the black clip from the ratio adjustment

slide. T urn the ratio adjustment slide 2 full revolutions in the positive direction. Replace the black clip.

b. If it is higher than 3ppm, remove the black clip from the ratio adjustment slide. Turn the

ratio adjustment slide 2 full revolutions in the negative direction. Replace the black clip.

Do not remove the silver clip from the ratio adjustment slide when the system is under pressure.

7. Continue with these steps until the system achieves a 3ppm reading on the chlorine test strip.

Figure 11

Avoid high flow rates such as bathtub, utility sinks, hose bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or anything that is considered high flow for the first 72 hours to avoid flow restrictions caused by carbon blockage of the top basket inside the carbon tank.

Carbon dust may be released into the water lines of the house/building during the first few days of water use after carbon tank installation. The carbon dust is harmless, but may give the water a gray appearance that should diminish within a week or 10 days depending on water use.

Care and Cleaning

Sediment Filter

It is recommended that the Sediment Filter be replaced every 6-9 months depending on the amount of sediment present in the water supply. If the system has been working properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the Sediment Filter. Check the Sediment Filter and replace if necessary.

Replacing the Sediment Filter

1. Turn off the main water supply to the Pre-Filter System and bypass all tanks.

2. Run a faucet (cold water) inside the house to relieve the pressure.

3. Unscrew the Blue Pre-Filter Housing clockwise using the supplied Pre-Filter Wrench.

4. Remove the existing Sediment Filter and discard.

5. Remove the O-Ring and wipe the groove and O-Ring clean. Lubricate the O-Ring with a coating of clean silicone grease. Replace O-Ring and press the O-Ring down into the groove with two fingers.

Note: This step is important to ensure the proper filter seal. Make sure the O-Ring is seated level in the groove. If the O-Ring appears damaged, stretched, or crimped it should be replaced at this time.

6. Place a new Sediment Filter onto the Stand Pipe in the Blue Pre-Filter Housing.

7. Screw the Blue Pre-Filter Housing onto the Pre-Filter Cover.

8. Turn on main water supply slowly to allow the Pre-Filter System to fill with water and put tanks back in service, out of bypass.

9. Check for leaks.

Chemical Injector Pump:

1. Change every six months (Kit A - part number P-SDP-A) - 2 o-rings and dosage piston. One extra Kit A is included with your original purchase.

2. Change every year (Kit C- part number P-SDP-C) - 2 o-rings, dosage piston, and shaft.

Note: Spare kits for replacement purposes can be obtained by calling your customer service representative at Pelican Water.

Solution Tank Refill — Chlorine

1. Check the level of the Solution Tank once per month. Do not let the liquid in the tank fall below ¼full.

2. Fill the tank with 9 cups of household bleach and 35 gallons of treated water (water that has gone through your filtration system). Replace the cap.

and tap it on the ground until the tank stands vertical. The bottom of the tank is round and the boot allows the tank to stand upright.

Water pressure is slowing. It is recommended that the Sediment Filter be replaced

every 6-9 months depending on the amount of sediment present in the water supply. If the system has been working properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the Sediment Filter. Check the Sediment Filter and replace if necessary.

Iron appears in the water. Adjust settings on Chemical Injector Pump by removing

black clip on the adjustment ratio slide and turning the adjustment ratio slide 2 full revolutions in the positive direction. See graphic on page 18 to locate adjustment ratio slide. If problem persists, increase backwash frequency by one day.

Water appears grey or cloudy. Water may appear grey or cloudy for the first seven to

ten days after installation due to extra carbon dust.

Water pressure is slowing immediately after installation. High flow rates such as bathtubs, utility sinks, hose

bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or anything that is considered high flow for the first 72 hours should be avoided. If you suspect a carbon blockage of the top basket due to a high-flow situation within the first 72 hours of installation, turn off any running water for at least 10 minutes. This will clear the blockage and you can resume using water at low or normal flow rates.
