Fleck 7000 Carbon Filter Installation & Startup Guide
12. Do NOT remove the red clips in order to put the bypass valve in either bypass or service, it is not
necessary nor desired to remove the red clips on the bypass valve hand knobs (see Fig 3 item 1,
which are the knobs you will turn to move the bypass valves).
13. Now install your water pipes to the Fleck 7000 bypass end connectors. Make sure inlet is
installed to the 'In" pipe connector on the bypass valve and outlet is on the "Out" connector.
14. Connect some flexible tubing from the drain connection on the Fleck 7000 control valve to a
suitable drain such as a septic tank or drain to a sewer. It is OK to run the drain line up and over
the Fleck 7000 Carbon Filter up to 4 feet above the top of the tank. If the drain line will be more
than 20 feet, use larger diameter tubing such as ¾" or 1". Note that it is desirable to be able to
run the drain line into a bucket in order to test the backwash flow rate in the future. This is why
hard piping the drain line is discouraged, however, if you do use hard PVC piping for the drain
line, and you are able to remove the hard PVC drain piping and attach flexible tubing should you
ever desire for testing purposes, it is OK to use rigid PVC pipe for the drain. Make sure the drain
tubing is firmly clamped to the barbed fitting with a hose clamp to prevent leaks.
15. Plug in your Fleck 7000 control valve to an outlet. Your Carbon Filter 7000 control valve is
already pre-programmed*. All you need to do is to set the time of day, and then set the number
of days the Carbon Filter will run before it backwashes and regenerates automatically. The
default number of days between back wash is seven.
*If you purchased a metered 7000 valve, see page twelve for programming instructions.
16. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the service
icon and the parameter display reads TD. Set the time of day by pressing the up or down arrows
until it is the current time of day. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to
resume normal operation, or wait 5 seconds and the unit will return to normal operation if no
button is pressed.
17. Hold down the up arrow and down arrow at the same time for 5 seconds. Set the number of
days between backwashes, typically for 7 days. If your water is very clean (no sediment or iron)
you can set the backwash frequency to as little as every 14 days but its best to leave it to
backwash every 7 days.
18. Press the Extra Cycle button once. Set the time of the night that you want the Carbon Filter
filter to backwash. The default time is 2:00 am. Adjust the time by pushing the up or down
arrow if you want.
19. Now press the Extra Cycle button once more. You are done programming!
20. Now you are ready to turn on the water. Turn on the water and leave the Carbon Filter on
bypass and check for leaks. Leave the ball valve after the Carbon Filter closed, so water is still
off to the house, but connect a garden hose and open up the hose bib after the Carbon Filter
and allow the water to run for several minutes. This important step clears out any foreign
