Assembly
and
Installation
Instructions
1.
Unscrew
by
hand
the
entire
Fleck
7000
‐
SXT
control
valve
from
top
of
tank
if
it
was
shipped
screwed
on.
The
Vortech
distributor
tube
is
already
installed
in
the
tank.
If
not
already
done,
make
sure
blue
temporary
plug
is
on
top
of
distributor
tube,
or
wrap
the
top
of
distributor
tube
with
electrical
or
duct
tape.
You
do
not
want
gravel
or
filter
media
to
go
down
the
distributor
tube.

Funnel
Use
2.
Add
filter
gravel
supplied
first,
using
the
funnel
sent
with
the
Pro
‐
OX
filter.
NOTE:
Be
sure
not
to
let
any
parts
of
the
bag
or
foreign
materials
enter
the
tank
when
you
are
adding
media.
3.
Next
add
Pro
‐
OX
(PRO
‐
OX
media).
Tank
will
be
approximately
60%
full.
4.
Remove
cap
or
tape
from
top
of
distributor
tube.
5.
Add
2
cups
of
household
bleach
down
the
inside
of
the
distributor
tube
and
fill
tank
completely
with
water.
This
will
allow
the
Pro
‐
OX
media
to
become
activated
and
also
sanitize
the
media.
It
will
also
eliminate
the
need
of
“purging”
the
air
out
of
the
tank
later.
