7500 Sediment Filter Installation & Startup Guide
1. Wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape so that no gravel or Chemsorb
media will go down the distributor tube when adding the media.
2. Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You want the gravel to cover the bottom
distributor screen before adding the Sediment media.
3. Next add Sediment media. The tank will be about 2/3 full of media, do not fill past 2/3rds, even
if there is some extra media left over.
4. Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube
when removing cap or tape.
5. If possible at this point, fill tank completely with water. This will allow the Sediment Filter media
to settle and reduce the need of purging the air out of the tank later.
6. Now install your water pipes to the 7500 bypass end connectors. Make sure inlet is installed to
the 'In" pipe connector on the bypass valve and outlet is on the "Out" connector.
7. Connect some flexible tubing from the drain connection on the 7500 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
7500 Sediment 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.
8. Next, you will need to program the system to work as a Sediment Filter. There are a few
settings that must be changed before the system can be put into service. Plug in the control
valve and continue on to the next page to begin the programming instructions.
