Step 1: Locate the blue cap on top of the tank’s distributor tube. You’ll want to leave it in for now. If

there is no cap, wrap the top of the tube with electrical or duct tape.

Installation


Step 2: Add your calcite or calcite-blend media.

Installation


Step 3: Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube.

Installation


Step 4: If possible, fill tank completely with water to allow neutralizer media to settle.

Installation


Step 5: Insert the top distributor basket into the bottom of the Fleck 7000 control valve and rotate clockwise.

Installation


Step 6: Lubricate bypass valve o-rings with vegetable oil or silicone grease and connect to control valve by sliding bypass valve firmly into

the body of the Fleck 7000.

Do not use petroleum grease on any part of the Fleck 7000 control valve.

Installation


Step 7: Lubricate your threaded pipe connectors the same way, and insert them into the bypass

valve. Then, insert red connector clips.

Do not use petroleum grease on any part of the Fleck 7000 control valve.

Installation


Step 8: Make sure inlet and outlet valves are in the vertical position, or “bypass” mode.

Installation

Do not remove the red clips in order to put the bypass valve in eitherbypass or service mode.


Step 9: Attach your white barbed fitting to flexible drain tubing. Then, wrap the threads of your drain line flow

Step 11: Attach the drain line flow control elbow and tubing to the control valve and clip into place.

Step 12: Plug your neutralizer control valve into an outlet. It is already pre-programmed, so you’ll just need to set the time of day and the desired

number of days between backwash and regeneration cycles.

Programming


ProgrammingStep 13: Press and hold either the up or down button

until the programming icon replaces the service icon and the display reads “TD.”


ProgrammingStep 14: Set the time of day by pressing up or

down arrows until the display reads the correct time. When finished, press the extra cycle button or wait 5 seconds to resume normal

operation.


Step 15: To set a backwash and regeneration schedule, hold both up and down buttons at the same time for 5

seconds. Set the number of days (represented on-screen by “DO”) between backwashes in the same way you set

the time.

Programming


Step 16: Press the extra cycle button once, then set the time of night you want the neutralizer to backwash

(represented on-screen by “RT”) with the up and down arrows. Press the extra cycle button once more, and

you’re done programming!

Programming


Step 17: Turn on the water and leave the neutralizer on bypass while checking for leaks. Leave the ball valve after the neutralizer filter closed, but connect a garden hose and open up the hose bib after the filter. Allow the water to run for several minutes from this hose bib.

Flush Pipes


Step 18: Press and hold the extra cycle button for five seconds to start a manual backwash.

Step 19: Slowly turn the bypass valve to the service position. Do not remove red clips in order to do so. Open the inlet side of the bypass valve first, then the

outlet side.


Backwash & Rinse

Step 20: The backwash will continue for 10 minutes, after which the rinse cycle will begin and last for an additional 10 minutes. Once

completed, repeat the backwash and rinse cycles by holding the extra cycle button for 5 seconds.

Step 21: After backwash and rinse cycles are complete, your neutralizer is ready for use. Remember to run both backwash and rinse cycles when adding calcite media in

the future.
