What to Do If Your Filter Tank Does Not Sit Level on the Floor

Your black filter tank base is not glued to the bottom of your tank. Occasionally tank bases will become
crooked during shipment. If you find that that your tank does not sit level on the floor, you can easily adjust it
by holding the empty tank and rapping it on a concrete or solid floor once or twice in order to level it.
How to Remove the Red Clips from Fleck 7000 Control Valves without Breaking
Them
The Fleck 7000 is a great programmable control valve that lasts many years. While it is easy to install and
program, reading this guide prior to installation can save you some time when removing the red clips.
What happens is, when the water is first turned on and the control valve comes up to line pressure, the
bypass valve and pipe connectors push out or push apart slightly and lock in the red clips. When the water is
turned off, and even if there is no water pressure, it's impossible to remove the jammed in clips, without
great difficulty, and eventually most customers end up breaking them to get them out.
Step 1: Turn off water to the Fleck 7000 and relieve the water pressure by opening up a faucet in the house.
You can also put the Fleck 7000 on bypass, by turning the bypass valves to bypass. Either way, the 7000
control valve must be depressurized before removing the red clips.
Step 2: At that point they can practically be removed with your fingertips, although a small flat head screw
driver or needle nose pliers works best to pull out the red clips.
