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
Drain Line Flow Control: For systems with external backwashing flow requirement of 10 or 12 gpm (gallons per minute) an external drain line flow control will be included. Smaller systems have an internal drain line flow control button installed in the control valve based on your system size.
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. Open the box with the yellow sticker “OPEN FIRST”, This box contains your packing list for each of your systems.
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. After installation, the Initial Backwash (opening the inlet valve slowly) and 2-3 more backwashes must still be done.

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) 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. ****
4. If you will be using copper piping, do not sweat the copper pipe directly on to the 7500-REV4 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 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 AIR Iron
Filter Works
Water enters the top of the tank and flows down through the media and up the distributor tube.
During the regeneration cycle ozone gas is injected and flows down the center distributor tube and cleans and restores filter media.
Next, it enters a backwash cycle where the flow of water is reversed, and water flows down the distributor tube and up through the media, lifting and expanding, and rinsing out trapped iron and sediment to drain.
Finally, the system enters a rinse cycle which is downward rinse to drain to clean media before it goes back into service.

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 the distributor 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. Fill tank with water to a few inches above the media level. Add 1 cup of regular chlorine bleach and fill tank completely with water. Allow media to soak for 1 hour minimum but 24 hours works best.
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 to lock 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-Rev4 control valve carefully. Do not 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 Inlet 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-Rev4 control valve timer and backwash frequency.
15. External Drain Line Flow Control: If your system backwash requirement is 10 or 12 gallons per minute, you have been provided and need to install an external flow control in the clear tubing of your drain line. We recommend mounting the drain line flow control to a wall to support the weight.
    Do not hang the flow control from the control valve as the weight of it over time can damage the control valve. We recommend using 2 wraps of Teflon tape and applying thread sealant on all the pipe fittings.

Ozone Option Set Up

After the initial backwashes of the media are finished, you can turn on the optional ozone unit.
It is OK to install the Ozone unit but wait to plug the unit in to electrical outlet until you have completed your initial backwashes.
Install ozone Generator unit to the tank as shown. Place the plastic tie strap approximately 12” from the top of the tank and slide behind the clip. Snug the strap.

Install the BLFC housing assembly, the Ozone inlet Check valve, and the 3/8” x 5/16” adaptor into the control valve and secure with the black clip.
Insert one end of the 5/16” Silicone tubing into the fitting. Note the tubing should go in approximately 3/8”.

Start the First Backwash

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.

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 both bypass valves in the Bypass Position.
3. Press the back/regen button twice. Pressing once, the control valve is in the Ozone draw.
4. Slowly open the bypass valve until you see water coming out of the drainline.
5. Continue to slowly open the bypass valve until fully open. Opening the valve fully should take the entire first 10 minute backwash cycle.
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).0.5 CF| 635| 4.22 GPM
   ---|---|---
   0.75 CF| 844| 6.66 GPM
   1.0 CF| 948| 8.1 GPM
   1.5 CF| 1054| 10 GPM (Ext)
   2.0 CF| 1252| 12 GPM (Ext)
7. 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.
8. 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.
