11.
Do NOT remove the red clips in order to put the bypass valve in either bypass or service; it is neither
necessary nor desired to remove the red clips on the bypass valve hand knobs.
12.
Now install your water pipes to the Fleck 7000 bypass end connectors. Make sure the inlet is
installed to the 'In" pipe connector on the bypass valve and outlet is on the “Out” connector.
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. If the drain line will be more than 20 feet,
use larger diameter tubing such as ¾” or 1”. Note that it is desirable to be able to run the drain line
into a bucket in order to test the backwash flow rate in the future. This is why hard piping the drain
line is discouraged: however, if you do use hard PVC piping for the drain line, and you are able to
remove the hard PVC drain piping and attach flexible tubing should you ever desire for testing
purposes, it is OK to use rigid PVC pipe for the drain. Make sure the drain tubing is firmly clamped to
the barbed fitting with a hose clamp to prevent leaks.
