Important Information
Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before
beginning installation.
Check all applicable plumbing, building, and electrical codes for installation compliance.
Install the system on the main water supply.
Systems that contain electronic components cannot be installed outside in uncovered areas.
Page 4
Water Conditions for Operation
The water should be free of hydrogen sulfide, a dissolved gas with a characteristic smell of rotten
eggs. If present, it can coat the catalytic surface of the media and interfere with the process. The gas
should be removed through adequate pre-treatment.
The water should be free of hydrocarbons, oils, and lubricants. If present, they can coat the catalytic
surface of the media and interfere with the process. Remove through adequate pre-treatment.
The water should contain less than 1 mg/l of phosphates. Phosphates sequester dissolved hardness
molecules preventing them from forming crystals and may coat the catalytic media surface and
interfere with the process.
The copper level in the water supply should be below the MCL of 1.3mg/L. If copper is present above
this level, it can attach to the surface of the catalytic media and interfere with the process.
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. Older homes may have been built in accordance with
building codes from decades ago, some of 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 re-establishing 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 system 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.

Notice:
Pelican Water Systems
Pelican WF6/WF10 Iron/Manganese Filter and Sa lt Free Soften er
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 Electronic 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 Water Filter and the Salt Free Softener/Conditioner flow in a different direction
than the Iron Manganese Filter. The Red Arrows on the Whole House Filter and Softener/Conditioner
Bypass may be pointing in a different 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.

Carbon Tank Soak
Your system will not be ready for use for a minimum of 48 hours while the Carbon Soak process takes
place. Please plan your installation accordingly.
Water will flow out of the downflow inlet side of the Bypass Valve during this process. Be sure you perform
this series of steps in a location suitable for water flow.
Figure 3
1. Attach a garden hose to the Hose Bib Assembly.
2. Connect the Hose Bib Assembly to the upflow inlet side of the Bypass Valve and hand tighten.
3. Fill the Pelican Whole House Water Filter Tank full until water comes out of downflow inlet side of
the Bypass Valve.
4. Turn the water off.
5. Remove the garden hose from the Hose Bib Assembly. Do not remove the fitting.
6. Allow the carbon tank to soak for at least 48 hours prior to tank installation.
