Mack Boring said cycle the 50/50 solution 15 minutes, let it sit an hour and then cycle it another 15 minutes.
Rydlyme’s customer service rep said to just run the 50/50 mix for an hour and a half.
So I decided to blend the two instructions together and came up with run it for a half hour, let it sit for a half hour and run it again for a half hour. Since both methods suggested to me had a total time of an hour and a half I kept that the same. My first half hour I ran it in reverse flow, the second run was in the normal direction.
Utilizing the washing machine hoses allowed me to simply connect the garden hose when I was done and run fresh water through for 15 minutes in both directions. This also cleaned out my adapter fittings and washer hoses.
If anyone is interest in doing a flush I can throw the 2 adapters and hoses in a box and send them to you. I’ll cover the shipping – Just ship them back to me when done.

Pump & Washer Hoses:
(You can see how the Rydlyme took the shiny finish off the brass ends submerged in the bucket)
Running:
(The 110 outlet at the starboard helm came in handy for plugging in the pump)

Upper Connection at Exit Hose from Heat Exchanger. Removed from Mixing Elbow. Don't forget to remove the cooling water pisser hose for the shaft seal and cap that off:
