CLEAN WATER STORE 7500-REV2.5 Sediment Backwash Filter

Product Information

The 7500-REV2.5 Sediment Backwash Filter is a water filtration system designed to provide clean water. It is recommended for indoor installation only and should be protected from sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures. The system operates at a minimum pressure of 30 PSI and a maximum pressure of 80 PSI. The filter uses Turbidex media, which contains dust, so it is advised to use a mask to avoid breathing in the dust. Wetting down the media with a spray bottle is also recommended.
The system comes with a 7500-REV2.5 control valve, bypass valve, power supply, funnel for adding media, and a start-up guide. The specific components included depend on the size of the system:

• Sediment Backwash Filter 0.5 cubic foot size: 8 x 44 filter tank with distributor tube, 8 lbs. filter gravel, 0.5 cubic foot of Turbidex
• Sediment Backwash Filter 0.75 cubic foot size: 8 x 44 filter tank with distributor tube, 9 lbs. filter gravel, 0.75 cubic foot of Turbidex
• Sediment Backwash Filter 1.5 cubic foot size: 10 x 54 filter tank with distributor tube, 16 lbs. filter gravel, 1.5 cubic foot of activated Turbidex
• Sediment Backwash Filter 2.0 cubic foot size: 12 x 52 filter tank with distributor tube, 20 lbs. filter gravel, 2.0 cubic foot of activated Turbidex

Product Usage Instructions

Pre-Installation

1. Review the packing list to ensure all parts are received.
2. If the water to the house needs to be turned off and there is an electric water heater, turn off power to the heater before shutting off the water.

Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation

1. Connect the Inlet from the water source to the system’s inlet, following the arrows on the control valve.
2. Ensure there is a gate or ball valve installed before and after the filter system.
3. Strongly consider installing a hose bib (a faucet for attaching a garden hose) for easy access to filtered water.
   Note: For detailed installation instructions, refer to the diagrams provided in the user manual.

If the tank is not level upon receiving it:

1. The black filter tank base is not glued to the bottom of the tank.
2. To level the tank, hold the empty tank and gently knock it on a concrete or solid floor once or twice.

• What to Do if Your Tank is Not Level Out of the Box:
  Your black 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 knocking 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 water heater, shut off the power to the water heater before beginning installation in case water heater 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 30 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 Turbidex Backwash Filter must be allowed to run through a complete backwash and rinse cycle.
5. After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored, or full of sediment or rust, particularly if this is older or corroded piping. This typically clears up over a day or two.

Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation

1. Make sure to connect the Inlet from your water source and outlet, following arrows on control valve.
2. Make sure there is a gate or ball valve before and after the filter system.
3. A hose bib (which is a faucet to which you can attach a garden hose) is strongly recommended after the Sediment Backwash Filter and before the second ball valve. This makes it easy to rinse your new Sediment Backwash Filter 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.

How the Bypass Valve Works

Turn knob so the valve is bypassed when installing.

Installation of Your System with 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 Sediment Backwash Filter Works

• Water enters the top of the tank and flows down through the media and up the distributor tube.
• The backwashing Sediment Backwash Filter removes sediment and is automatically backwashed.
• This cleans and re-classifies the Turbidex filter media, preventing channeling.
• During backwash the flow of water is reversed and water flows down the distributor tube and up through the media, lifting and expanding the Turbidex media.
• During the backwash the Turbidex is cleaned by the action of the water flowing through the media and rinsing out sediment to drain.

Tank Assembly and Installation Instructions

1. Make sure no media enter distributor tube by covering the top of distributor tube with tape. If are you using a black funnel with distributor tube cap built-in to the funnel, no need to use tape.

2. Make sure you “test fit” distributor tube, find divot that keeps tube centered, before adding gravel so distributor tube does not extend past top of tank.

3. Add all the filter gravel that came with your order.

4. Next add Turbidex 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.

5. Remove tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube.

6. Add ¼ cup of household bleach (optional) and fill tank completely with water. This will allow the Sediment Backwash Filter media to settle and reduce the need of purging the air out of the tank later. Allow Turbidex to soak for at least 1 hour but 24 hours or more is OK. Turbidex contains trapped air will help clear this out and prevent dry media from entering the control valve during the initial backwash.

7. Add a small amount of silicone grease (sent with your order) to the inner O-ring, where distributor tube goes.

8. NOTE: Your Sediment Backwash filter does not use a top screen. If you are looking for a top screen, there isn’t one provided, it is not needed or recommended.

9. Lubricate the main tank O-ring with silicone grease and screw on the 7500-REV2.5 control valve carefully. Do not use pipe-joint compound, vegetable oil, Teflon tape, or Vaseline or other petroleum greases to lubricate tank threads.

10. Connect bypass assembly with 1” pipe connectors to control valve, making sure Inlet and Outlet is correct.

11. Insert meter cable into meter cable port on bypass.

12. Install inlet and outlet piping 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 backwash and rinse. The filter system must be backwashed and rinsed several times before using. See following pages for 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. Start with bypass valve in the closed or bypass position.
3. Press the BACK/REGEN button once to enter the backwashing cycle.
4. When the display shows the valve in backwash position, open the bypass knob until you hear the water going through. Now, wait for the water to start coming out the drain line- it will come out slowly, and may have some air in it.
5. Wait 2 minutes, and open to a quarter turn, note the increase in flow. Wait two minutes, go to Half open, wait two minutes and go to Full open (there will be a bit less than 2 minutes left on the ten-minute cycle). If the water continues to flow out the drain, then let the cycle finish and do the rinse and then return to service.
6. If you see the Turbidex media itself coming out of the drain line in a slurry during the startup back wash, CLOSE THE BYPASS KNOB IMMEDIATELY. Make sure that the proper Drain Line Flow Control button is installed.
7. Now, open the hose bib after the filter and run for a minute, or until any air has finished coming out. Next, starting with the bypass full open, start and run 2-3 more backwashes, running some water out the tap after the filter in between each backwash.
8. The backwash is now counting down from 10 minutes- you want to keep it in backwash for a while, so unplug the power supply from the wall, and the valve will stay in backwash.
9. Open the bypass a bit more, and confirm you have a bit more flow out the drain line. Wait five minutes. Open the valve a bit more, let it run for ten minutes. Do that a couple more times, until the valve is full open.
10. Each time you open the bypass valve more, the flow out the drain line should increase. Immediately close the bypass if you see media coming out the drain line.
11. If possible, verify that the backwash flow corresponds with the size of your system below.

12. You can easily run the drain hose to a bucket and using a watch verify the approximate flow rate in gallons per minute. An adequate backwash is critical to properly clean the Turbidex media. For example, if the backwash water fills a 5-gallon bucket in 1 minute, you have 5 gallons per minute (GPM).
    Approximate Drain Flow Rates

    0.5 CF| 4 GPM
    0.75 CF| 6.5 GPM
    1.0 CF| 8 GPM
    1.5 CF| 8 GPM
    2.0 CF| 10 GPM

13. 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.
14. Repeat the Regeneration (backwash and rapid rinse cycle) step 2 to 3 more times until you see clear water through the drain line or your hose bib.
15. Finally open the closed ball valve after the system to allow water to flow to house. Water may be discolored at first if pipes had some scale or sediment. Run water to rinse pipes.
    CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE DONE SETTING UP YOUR VALVE!

Maintenance

• Every 4 to 6 years (in some cases it can last longer) remove control valve and empty filter media and replace with new media.
• There is no routine maintenance required for the control valve or filter media, other than making sure the system is set to backwash frequently enough to keep the filter media clean.
• If you notice a pressure loss you might consider changing the backwash to every 2 or 3 or in some cases every day if there is a lot of sediment (also depends on amount of water you are using).

Troubleshooting the 7500-REV2.5 Sediment Backwash Filter

• Backwash Flow Rate
• One problem that may occur is if you do not have enough backwash flow rate to properly clean the Sediment Backwash Filter.
• You can verify the backwash flow rate by running the drain line into a bucket and timing it when the 7500-REV2.5 is in Cycle 1 or backwash
