Pre-Installation; Best Practices For Piping & Drain Installation - Clean Water Systems 7500-Rev4 Installation Manual

7500-Rev4 Pro-Ox-AIR Filter Installation & Startup Guide

Pre-Installation

1. Review your packing list and make sure you have received all the parts before installation.
2. If you are going to be turning off the water to the house and you have an electric water heater, shut
off the power to the water heater before beginning installation in case water heater is accidentally
drained.
3. Pick a suitable location for your filter system on a dry level spot where it won't be exposed to
freezing temperatures. A minimum of 20 PSI is required. Maximum pressure is 90 PSI.
4. Get all of your plumbing parts together before beginning installation, and make sure you have
received all of your packages before beginning or scheduling an installation. Installation typically
takes 3 to 5 hours. However, after installation the filter system must be allowed to run through a
complete backwash and rinse cycle.
Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation:
1. Make sure to connect the Inlet from your water source and outlet, following arrows on control valve
bypass.
2. Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the system and also one after as well as a
bypass valve.
3. A hose bib (which is a faucet to which you can attach a garden hose) is strongly
recommended after your filter system and before the second ball valve. This
makes it easy to rinse your filter system on start-up and gives you a place to test
the water.
4. If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 7500-REV4 control
valve.
5. To connect drain line to drain, use an air-gap connection, so that if your sewer or septic tank backs
up, it cannot cross connect with the drain tubing.
6. The pipe connectors are 1' male pipe thread but you can add a reducer to reduce to ¾" pipe with
common pipe fittings if needed.
7. Make sure bypass valves are closed (system is in bypass) when you first start installing and keep on
bypass until you are ready to start it up with the first backwash.
