7500-REV4 Sediment Backwash Filter 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 Turbidex Backwash Filter must be allowed to
run through a complete backwash and rinse cycle.
5. After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored, or full of sediment or
rust, particularly if this is older or corroded piping. This typically clears up over a day or two.
Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation:
1. Make sure to connect the Inlet from your water source and outlet, following arrows on control
valve. Connect the External Flow Control fitting onto the Drain line.
2. Make sure there is a gate or ball valve before and after the filter system.
3. A hose bib (which is a faucet to which you can attach a garden hose) is strongly recommended
after the Sediment Backwash Filter and before the second ball valve. This
makes it easy to rinse your new Sediment Backwash Filter 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.
