Fleck 7000 Sediment Filter Installation & Startup Guide
10. 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).
11. 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. Note: Arrows on
bypass valve should be visible from the top of the bypass valve.
12. 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 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.
13. For the 2.0 and 2.5 cubic foot systems only: these larger tank systems have an external stainless
steel flow control that comes with the system. This must be installed. If you have a 1.0 or 1.5 cubic
foot system, the flow control is internal and there is no external drain flow control.
Stainless Steel Flow Control (2.0 and 2.5 Cubic Foot Systems Only)
14. Plug in your Fleck 7000 control valve to an outlet. Your Sediment 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
Sediment 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, please see page twelve for programming instructions.
15. 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.
