Assembly and Installation Instructions:
1.
Wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape so that no
gravel or Sediment media will go down the distributor tube when
adding the media.
2.
Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You want the gravel to
cover the bottom distributor screen before adding the Sediment media.
3.
Next add Sediment media. The tank should be about 2/3rds full of
media, do not fill more than 2/3rds, even if there is some media left
over.
4.
Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube when
removing cap or tape.
5.
Fill tank completely with water. This will allow the Sediment Filter media to settle and reduce the
need of purging the air out of the tank later.
6.
Add a small amount of silicone grease to the inner O‐ring, where the distribution tube goes.
7.
Screw on control valve until tight, by hand.
8.
Do not use pipe‐joint compound, vegetable oil, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or other petroleum greases
to lubricate tank threads (where the control valve threads on to the tank, do not lubricate those
threads).
9.
Install INLET to Inlet port, and OUTLET from filter to the outlet (see arrows, marked on control
valve)
10.
Install drain line flow control on drain line from 7500‐S control valve.
11.
Install piping to drain. Be sure to use an air gap so the drain is not connected directly to the drain
or sewer, to avoid cross connection. Do NOT install check valve on drain, use air gap (a gap of air
of 2” between end of drain tubing coming from 7500‐S control valve and opening to the drain pipe
to sewer or septic tank.
12.
NOTE: for 2.0 CF sizes and up, use 1” piping for drain. For sizes smaller than 2.0 CF, it is OK to use
5/8” or ¾’ OD plastic tubing.
