Assembly and Installa on Instruc ons
1. Unscrew the Fleck 2510 control valve from the top of the tank if it came screwed on. Place distributor
tube inside tank if it is not already. Make sure the tube is capped with the blue cap that came with your
system to prevent
fi
lter media from entering the tube. If your cap is missing, use tape to cover the tube.
2. Next add Pro-OX
fi
lter media un l the tank is about 2/3 full of media.
3. Remove cap or tape from top of the distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up on distributor tube when
removing cap or tape.
4. If possible at this point,
fi
ll tank completely with water. This will allow the Pro-OX media to se le and
eliminate the need to purge air from the tank later.
5. Carefully screw on the 2510 control valve. Do not use pipe-joint compound, Te
fl
on tape, Vaseline, or oth-
er petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.
6. See how the bypass valve is connected in Fig. 4 (page 7). Lubricate bypass valve o-rings with some vegeta-
ble oil or silicone grease and connect the bypass assembly to the Fleck 2510 control valve by sliding the
bypass valve
fi
rmly into its body. Once it is in far enough, you will be able to ghten the metal connec ng
clamps.
7.
Next lubricate the end-connectors (labeled “inlet” and “outlet” in Fig. 3) and insert them into
the bypass
valve.
8. Make sure your valve is in bypass posi on. You will know when it is in bypass because the two knobs will
be parallel to each other; when the valve is in service posi on the valves will form one con nuous hori-
zontal line.
9.
Now install your water pipes to the 2510 bypass end connectors. Make sure inlet is installed to the IN
pipe connector and the outlet to the OUT connector. The bypass valve should be marked with arrows
to
help you easily iden fy the inlet/outlet.
Plug or tape top of distributor tube to pre
‐
vent media from entering. Remove when
fi
nished.
Use included
funnel to add
media.
