Product Usage Instructions

Pre-Installation

1. Review the packing list to ensure all parts are received.
2. If turning off the water to the house and you have an electric water heater, shut off the power to the water heater before installation.
3. Pick a suitable location for the filter system on a dry, levelspot away from freezing temperatures. Ensure a minimum of 20 PSIand a maximum pressure of 90 PSI.
4. Gather all plumbing parts before starting installation. Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours.

Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation

1. Connect the Inlet from the water source and outlet, following the arrows on the control valve bypass.
2. Install a working gate or ball valve before and after thesystem, as well as a bypass valve.

For detailed installation instructions, refer to the providedstart-up guide. After installation, the filter system must gothrough a complete backwash and rinse cycle.

If the tank is not level upon arrival, adjust it by tapping iton a concrete or solid floor to level it.

Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System! With proper installation and a little routine maintenance your system will be providing iron free 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.The Pro-OX Iron Filter media must be activated with a 1 cup of unscented liquid chlorine bleach (such as Clorox) when first installing it. Read instructions for more information. It is easy to do, but a critical step.
The Pro-OX media produces very small particles (fines) when the system is first installed. Bring the water pressure up VERY slowly during the initial backwash by opening inlet valve slowly to avoid pushing the media up into the control head. Performing multiple backwashes at start-up is an important step. You should also not bring any other systems online (i.e. softeners, filters, etc.) until the Pro-Ox system is fully flushed. Depending on the water quality, this may take several backwashes and aweek or two of normal water use.  The Pro-OX media contains dust. Use paper mask and ventilate area to avoid breathing dust when first pouring the media into the tank.Minimum 30 PSI required. Maximum pressure 90 PSI. For indoor installation. Protect from sunlight, rain, and freezing.

What to Do if Your Tank is Not Level Out of the Box:
Your filter tank base is not glued to the bottom of your tank. Occasionally tank bases will become tilted 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 tap it on a concrete or solid floor once or twice to level it.

Pre-Installation

1. Review your packing list and make sure you have received all the parts before installation.
2. If you are going to be turning off the water to the house and you have an electric waterheater, shut off the power to the water heater before beginning installation in case waterheater is accidentally drained.
3. Pick a suitable location for your filter system on a dry level spot where it won’t be exposed to freezing temperatures. A minimum of 20 PSI is required. Maximum pressure is 90 PSI.
4. Get all of your plumbing parts together before beginning installation, and make sure you have received all of your packages before beginning or scheduling an installation. Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours. However, after installation the filter system must be allowed to run through a complete backwash and rinse cycle.

Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation

1. Make sure to connect the Inlet from your water source and outlet, following arrows on control valve bypass.
2. Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the system and also one after as well as a bypass valve.
3. A hose bib (which is a faucet to which you can attach a garden hose) isstrongly recommended after your filter system and before the secondball valve. This makes it easy to rinse your filter system on start-up and gives you a place to test the water.
4. If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 7500-REV2.5 control valve.
5. To connect drain line to drain, use an air-gap connection, so that if your sewer or septic tank backs up, it cannot cross connect with the drain tubing.
6. The pipe connectors are 1’ male pipe thread but you can add a reducer to reduce to ¾” pipe with common pipe fittings if needed.
7. Make sure bypass valves are closed (system is in bypass) when you first start installing and keep on bypass until you are ready to start it up with the first backwash.

How the Bypass Valve Works

• Turn knob so the valve is bypassed when installing.
• When you go to start up system turnthe bypass SLOWLY to let water inand put in service.

Installation of Your System in Copper or Metal Piping Systems

• If your new filter system is to be installed in a metal (conductive) plumbing system, i.e., copper,or galvanized steel pipe, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the electrical continuity of the plumbing system.
• As a result, any stray currents from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through the contiguous metal plumbing.
• Some homes may have been built in accordance with building codes, which encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system.
• Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded “jumper wire” bridging the equipment and reestablishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your systems use.
• This is simple and easy step to take if you are installing your water treatment system into copper piping.
• A simple ground jumper wire with a pipe clamp can be purchased at any Home Center, or hardware store etc. for a few dollars.

How Your Pro-Ox Iron Filter Works

Water enters the top of the tank and flows down through the media and up the distributor tube. During backwash the flow of water is reversed and water flows down the distributor tube and up through the media, lifting and expanding the Pro-  Ox media.During the backwash the Pro-Ox is cleaned by the action of the water flowing through it.

Diagram of Typical Installation

Tank Assembly and Installation Instructions

1. Wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape so that no gravel or Pro-OX media will go down thedistributor tube.
2. Add the filter gravel that came with your order. You want the gravel to cover the bottom distributor screen before adding the Pro-OX media.
3. Next add Pro-OX media, then add the Turbidex media. Tank should be about 2/3rds full of media.
4. Remove tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube.
5. Add 1 cup of regular chlorine bleach and fill tank completely with water. Allow media to soak for 1 hour but 24 hours or more is OK.
6. Add a small amount of silicone grease to the inner O-ring, where the distribution tube goes.
7. Next, install the top screen by inserting upwards and rotating tolock in place. (This is a funnel-shaped plastic screen that locks into the bottom side of control valve.
8. Lubricate the main tank O-ring with silicone grease and screw on the  7500-REV2.5 control valve carefully. Donot use pipe-joint compound, vegetable oil, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or other greases to lubricate tank threads.
9. Connect bypass assembly with 1” pipe connectors to control valve install black clips and make sure valve is in bypass.
10. Connect air check valve to control valve.
11. Insert meter cable into meter cable port on bypass.
12. Install inlet and outlet piping (see flow arrows on valve) and hook up drain line tubing to drain.
13. If you are in earthquake zone, strap your backwash filter tank to wall with metal strapping.
14. Proceed to programming your 7500-REV2.5 control valve timer and backwash frequency.

IMPORTANT: you must program the time and then start a backwashand rinse. The filter system must bebackwashed and rinsed several timesbefore using. See following pagesfor instructions.

Start the First Backwash

1. After programming, the system must be run through 2 or 3 backwash/rinse regeneration cycles to clean the new filter media.
2. 2 Start with bypass valve in the Bypass Position.
3. Press the BACK/REGEN button once to enter the backwashing cycle.
4. When the backwash icon is displayed, slowly open the bypass to a quarter position to make the water flow into the tank and out the backwash drain line to drain.
5. After several minutes open bypass valve completely.
6. If possible, verify that the backwash flow corresponds with the size of your system below. You can easily run the drain hose to a bucket and using a watch verify the flow rate in gallons per minute. An adequate backwash is critical to properly clean the Pro-OX media.

Make sure you have a minimum of these flow rates in gallons per minute. For example, if backwash water fills a 5-gallon bucket in 1 minute, you have 5 gallons per minute (GPM).

• After the backwash, the system will automatically go into the fast rinse stage. The control valve will return to service status (indicated by the up flowing meter on the left) after the backwash and rinse are complete.
• Repeat the Regeneration (backwash and rapid rinse cycle) step 3 to 4 more times until you see clear water through the drain line or your hose bib after the filter system.
