Pro-Ox 7500-REV2.5 Filter
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 a week 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
- Review your packing list and make sure you have received all the parts before installation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 backwashed and rinsed several times before letting the water into the house.
Best Practices for Piping & Drain Installation
-
Make sure to connect the Inlet from your water source and outlet, following arrows on control valve bypass.
-
Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the system and also one after as well as a bypass valve.
-
A hose bib (which is a faucet to which you can attach a garden hose) is strongly recommended after your filter system and before the second ball valve. This makes it easy to rinse your filter system on start-up and gives you a place to test the water.
-
If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 7500-REV2.5 control valve.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 turn the bypass SLOWLY to let water in and 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
-
Wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape so that no gravel or Pro-OX media will go down the distributor tube.
-
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.
-
Next add Pro-OX media, then add the Turbidex media. Tank should be about 2/3rds full of media.
-
Remove tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube.
-
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.
-
Add a small amount of silicone grease to the inner O-ring, where the distribution tube goes.
-
Next, install the top screen by inserting upwards and rotating to lock in place. (This is a funnel-shaped plastic screen that locks into the bottom side of control valve.
-
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 greases to lubricate tank threads.
-
Connect bypass assembly with 1” pipe connectors to control valve install black clips and make sure valve is in bypass.
-
Insert meter cable into meter cable port on bypass.
-
Install inlet and outlet piping (see flow arrows on valve).
-
Hook up drain line tubing to drain. If needed heat up the tubing with warm water or a hair dryer to make it easier to slip over the barbed fitting on the drain port.
-
If you are in earthquake zone, strap your backwash filter tank to wall with metal strapping
-
Proceed to programming your 7500-REV2.5 control valve timerand 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.

Set Capacity
This refers to the number of gallons your 7500-REV2.5 is set to backwash.
Default is 1200 Gallons. This means that your filter will backwash every 1200
gallons of water used, OR every 4 days, whichever comes first, since your
Maximum Days for Regen is set to every 4 days as well.
Set Rinse Frequency Must be set to F:00
Set Regen Time This is the time your system will backwash. Default is 2:00 AM
Set Backwash Time Length Set for 10 minutes. This is the first cycle.
Set B. S. R. Time Not used. Keep or change to 0 minutes.
Set Fast Rinse Time Set for 8 minutes.
Set B. R. Time Not used. Keep or change to 0 minutes.
Maximum Days for Regen. This refers to the days between each backwash, also
known as “Regeneration”. Set to every 4 days. This means that your filter will
automatically backwash and rinse every 4 days or every 1200 gallons whichever
comes first. This can be adjusted up to once every 7 days but backwash every 3
or 4 days is best for most home application. Usage Logs: The following are

Start the First Backwash
- After programming, the system must be run through 3 or 4 backwash/rinse regeneration cycles to clean the new filter media.
- Start with both bypass valves in the Bypass Position.
- Press the BACK/REGEN button once to enter the backwashing cycle.
- 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.
- After several minutes open bypass valve completely.
- 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.
0.5 CF| 4 GPM
---|---
0.75 CF| 5 GPM
1.0 CF| 8 GPM
1.5 CF| 10 GPM
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 the filtered water is clear. NOTE: the backwash water will still appear black even after several backwashes. Once filtered water is running clear after the first 3 or 4 backwashes the iron filter is ready to use. If you see and black fines in the home, repeat regeneration for a few more times until clear.
