Fleck 7000 Sediment Filter Installation & Startup Guide
Assembly and Installation Instructions
1. Unscrew by hand the entire Fleck 7000 control valve from top of tank if it was shipped screwed on.
Place distributor tube in tank if not already inside tank. If not already done, make sure blue cap is on
top of distributor tube, or wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape. You do not
want Sediment to go down the distributor tube.
2. Note – if you purchased a 3.0 CF system, your system will come with gravel which must be added to
the tank first, before adding the media. If you have a smaller tank proceed with filling the tank with
the Chemsorb filter media. The tank should be 2/3 to 3/4 full.
3. Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube when
removing cap or tape.
4. If possible at this point, fill tank completely with water. This will allow the Sediment Filter media to
settle and eliminate the need of "purging" the air out of the tank later.
5. Screw on Fleck 7000 control valve carefully. Do not use pipe-joint compound, Teflon tape, or Vaseline
or other petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
6. See how the Fleck by-pass is connected (below). Note that Items 2 in Fig 3 below are the pipe
connectors and the other end is what gets attached to the control valve. Items 3 are the red clips
that hold the pipe connectors to the by-pass valve - we include two extra red clips with the pipe
connector kit. Your Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the by-pass position.
