7500-M Neutralizer Installation & 
Start-Up Guide 

Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System!    

With proper installation and a little routine maintenance your system will 
be providing neutral pH water for many years. 

Please review this start‐up guide entirely before beginning to install your 
system, and follow the steps outlined for best results. 

 

CALCITE MEDIA CONTAINS DUST.  

USE PAPER MASK AND VENTILATE TO AVOID BREATHING DUST. 

INSTALL INDOORS.  NOT FOR OUTDOOR USE.  PROTECT FROM WEATHER. 

 

Note: 

Your filter tank base is not glued to the bottom of your 

tank.  Occasionally tank bases will become crooked during shipment.   

If you find that that your tank does not sit level on the floor, you can 

easily adjust it by holding the empty tank and rapping it on a 

concrete or solid floor once or twice in order to level it.
