    (#3 in Fig 4). 10. Note that the Fleck 7000 is usually shipped in the bypass position. There is a bypass valve knob on both the inlet and the outlet (#1 in Fig 4). You can easily tell if it is in bypass because the two holes on the bypass knob will be in the vertical position.

    13. Connect some flexible tubing from the drain connection on the Fleck 7000 control valve to a suitable drain such as a septic tank or sewer drain. It is OK to run the drain line up and over the Fleck 7000 Neutralizer filter up to 4 feet above the top of the tank.
