Pre‐Installation
1. Reviewyourpackinglistandmakesureyouhavereceivedallthepartsbeforebeginning
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
accidentially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.Installationtypicallytakes
3to5hours.HoweverafterinstallationtheGreensandFiltermustbeallowedtorunthrougha
completebackwashandrinsecycle(alsocalled‘regeneration’).Youdon’thavetobepresent
forthisfirstbackwashnecessarily,butitdoestake90minutes.
5. Afterthesystemisinstalledandrunning,yourwatermaybediscolored,orfullofsedimentor
rust,particularlyifthisisolderpipingthathasbeenexposedtoironormanganeseforsome
time.Typicallythisclearsupoveradayortwo,butcanpersistforweeksifthepipeisold
galvanizedironpipethatiscorroded.

BestPracticesforPiping&DrainInstallation
1. Seetypicalinstallation(seeFig1).Thegreensandfilterisinstalledafterthepressuretank.
2. MakesuretoconnecttheinletpipetotheFleck7000inletandtheoutlettotheoutlet(seeFig
2).AsyoufacetheFleck7000controlfromthefront,thewaterentersontherightandexitson
theleft.Fromtheback(seeFig2)thewaterentersontheleft.Theinletandoutletare
attachedtothebypassvalvewhichismarkedwitharrowsaswell.
3. MakesurethereisaworkinggateorballvalvebeforetheFleck7000Greensandfilterandalso
oneafterasshowninthediagram.Thepressuregaugesareoptionalandnotnecessarybuta
hosebib(whichisafaucetthatyoucanattachagardenhoseto)isstronglyrecommendedafter
theGreensandFilterbeforethesecondballvalve.Thismakesiteasytorinseyournewiron
filteronstart‐upandgivesyouaplacetotestthewaterbeforeitentersyourhousehold
plumbing.
4. Ifyouwillbeusingcopperpiping,donotsweatthecopperpipedirectlyontotheFleck7000
controlvalve.AvoidheatinguptheFleck7000controlvalveplasticwiththetorch.



5. YoudonotneedunionstoinstallyourFleck7000control.Ifyouneedtoremoveit,theFleck
7000hasquick‐releasecouplingsthatmakeiteasytoputtheGreensandFilteronby‐passand
removethefiltersystemfromthepiping.
6. Thedrainlinetubing(notsupplied)isconnectedtoadrainfromthedrainoutletusingflexible
½”IDtubing.NotethatthedraincanrunupabovetheFleck7000controlandintoadrain,it
doesnothavetodraindown,asthefilterbackwashesunderlinepressurefromyourwellpump.
Mostplumbingcodesrequireanair‐gapconnection,sothatifyoursewerorseptictankbacks
up,itcannotcrossconnectwiththedraintubing.


Page6Greensand7000Start‐UpGuideCleanWaterSystems2009
4. Removecaportapefromtopofdistributortube.Becarefulnottopullupdistributortube
whenremovingcaportape.
5. Ifpossibleatthispoint,filltankcompletelywithwater.Thiswillallowthegreensandmediato
settleandeliminatetheneedof“purging”theairoutofthetanklater.
6. AddasmallamountofvegetablecookingoiltothetankthreadsandscrewonFleck7000
controlvalvecarefully.Alternativelyyoucanusesiliconegrease,butdonotusepipe‐joint
compound,Teflontape,orVaselineorotherpetroleumgreasestolubricatetankthreads.
7. SeehowtheFleckby‐passisconnected.NotethatItems2inFig5belowarethepipe
connectorsandtheotherendiswhatgetsattachedtothecontrolvalve.Items3arethered
clipsthatholdthepipeconnectorstotheby‐passvalve.YourFleck7000isusuallyshippedin

8. Lubricatetheby‐passvalveo‐ringswithsomevegetableoilorsiliconegreaseandconnectthe
bypassassemblytotheFleck7000controlbyslidingthebypassvalvefirmlyintothebodyofthe
Fleck7000.Oncebypassisinfarenough,youwillbeabletoinserttheredconnectorclips.
9. Nextlubricatetheend‐connectorswithsomesiliconegreaseorvegetablecookingoilandinsert
themintothebypassvalveandtheninserttheredclips.
10. NotethattheFleck7000isusuallyshippedinthebypassposition.Thereisabypassvalveknob
onboththeinletandtheoutlet.Youcaneasilytellifitisinbypassbecausethetwoholeson
thebypassknobwillbeintheverticalposition.IfthevalveisintheServiceposition(bywhichis
thefilteringpositionor‘inservice’position)theholeswillbeinthehorizontalposition.Make
surebothsidesareintheby‐passposition.
11. Inthefuture,doNOTremovetheredclipsinordertoputthebypassvalveineitherbypassor
service,itisnotnecessarynordesiredtoremovetheredclipsonthebypassvalvehandknobs
(seeFig5item1,whicharetheknobsyouwillturntomovethebypassvalves).
12. NowinstallyourwaterpipestotheFleck7000bypassendconnectors.Makesureinletis
installedtothe'In"pipeconnectoronthebypassvalveandoutletisonthe“Out”connector.
13. ConnectsomeflexibletubingfromthedrainconnectionontheFleck7000controlvalvetoa
suitabledrainsuchasaseptictankordraintoasewer.ItisOKtorunthedrainlineupandover
theFleck7000greensandfilterupto4feetabovethetopofthetank.Ifthedrainlinewillbe
morethan20feet,uselargerdiametertubingsuchas¾”or1”.Notethatitisdesirabletobe
abletorunthedrainlineintoabucketinordertotestthebackwashflowrateinthefuture.
Thisiswhyhardpipingthedrainlineisdiscouraged,however,ifyoudousehardPVCpipingfor
thedrainline,andyouareabletoremovethehardPVCdrainpipingandattachflexibletubing
shouldyoueverdesirefortestingpurposes,itisOKtouserigidPVCpipeforthedrain.Make
surethedraintubingisfirmlyclampedtothebarbedfittingwithahoseclamptopreventleaks.
14. Forthe2.5cubicfootsystemsonly:theselargertanksystemshaveanexternalstainlesssteel
flowcontrolthatcomeswiththesystem.Thismustbeinstalled.Ifyouhavea1.0or1.5cubic
footsystem,theflowcontrolisinternalandthereisnoexternaldrainflowcontrol.
15. Takeoutthefloatassemblyandremovetherubberbandinstalledforshippingthetank,if
presentonthefloatassembly.Re‐installthefloatassembly.SeeFig6.
16. Nextattachthepotassiumpermanganatesolutiontanktubing(3/8"blackpolytubing)fromthe
permanganatesolutiontanktotheFleck7000controlvalve.SeeFig7and8.Locatethe4’

17. Addenoughcleanwatertothepotpermsolutiontanktobringwaterlevelabout1”abovethe
feltpad.Addone5‐lbjugofpotassiumpermanganategranulestothepotassiumpermtankby
pouringitdirectlyontopofthewhitefeltpad.Donotpourpermanganatedownthewhite
plasticbrinewellwheretheblacklineisattached.
18. Seetheover‐flowbarbedfittingonthesideofthepermtank.Youdonothavetoconnectto
thistoadrain.Ifthesafetyfloatweretomalfunction,thereisasmallchancethatpotperm
solutionwilldripoutofthisfitting.Ifthiswouldcauseabigmesswhereyouhaveinstalledthe
greensandfilter,hooksometubingtothisandruntoabucket,floorpanorfloordrain.Normally
nopotpermsolutionwillleakoutofthisfitting.
19. Nowyouarereadytoturnonthewatertothesystem.Turnonthewaterandleaveonbypass
andcheckforleaks.Leavetheballvalveafterthegreensandfilterclosed,sowaterisstilloffto
thehouse,butconnectagardenhoseandopenupthehosebibafterthegreensandfilterand
allowthewatertorun.Thiswillhelptoclearoutanyforeignmaterialthatmaybeinthepipes
fromthepipinginstallation.Ifyoudonothaveavalveinstalledafterthegreensandfilterand
youdonothaveahosebib,youwillneedtoturnthewateroninsidethehousetoletthewater
run.Useabathtuborlaundrysinkorotherfixturethatdoesnothaveanaeratorscreen.
20. Leavethewaterrunningoutofthegardenhoseataslowrate.Nowyoucanturnthebypass
valvetotheserviceposition.YoudoNOTremovetheredclipsonthebypassknobsinorderto
turnthebypassvalvesfromthebypasstotheserviceposition.FirstopentheInletSideofthe
bypassvalve.SecondslowlyopentheOutletSideofthebypassuntilitisinthefullservice
position.TheFleck7000bypassvalveknobsarealittlestiff,soyoucanuseascrewdriver
placedintheholestoturntheknobs.Makesureyouareturningthebypassvalveknobsinthe
correctdirectionwhichisclockwiseasyoufacethebypassvalveknobs.
21. Nowturnonthegardenhosetofullforceandletthewateruntilitturnsrelativelyclear.The
watermaybedarkorblackatfirst.
22. YourGreensand7000controlvalveisalreadypre‐programmed.Allyouneedtodoistosetthe
timeofday,andthensetthenumberofdaysthegreensandfilterwillrunbeforeitbackwashes
andregeneratesautomatically.Thedefaultnumberofdaysbetweenbackwashisseven.
23. Startbysettingthetimeofdaybypressingtheupordownarrowsuntilitisthecurrenttimeof
day.
24. Holddowntheuparrowanddownarrowatthesametimefor5seconds.Setthetimeofthe
nightthatyouwantthegreensandfiltertobackwash.Thedefaulttimeis2:00am.Pressthe
ExtraCyclebuttononce.Nowsetthenumberofdaysbetweenbackwashes,thedefaultis7
days.Ifyouhavealargefamilyandahighlevelofiron,youmaywanttosetthebackwash
frequencytoevery3to4days.NowpresstheExtraCyclebuttononcemore.Youaredone

25. Yourgreensandmediamustberegeneratedbeforeyoucanusethewater.Startamanual
backwashandrinse(alsocalled‘regeneration’)bypressingorholdingtheExtraCyclebuttonfor
5seconds.
26. Atthispointthegreensandfilterwillbeinabackwashmode,whichisthefirstoffivecyclesit
goesthroughduringregeneration.Thebackwashtakes10minutes.After10minutes,theFleck
7000willbegintosuckupthepermanganatesolutionfromthepermanganatetank.
27. Afteranother10to15minutesthepotpermtankwillbesuckeddryoftheliquidpotassium
permanganate.Checktomakesurethatthepotpermtankisemptyafterthiscycle.
28. After60minutesofbeinginthisCycle2,referredtoasthebriningcycle,itwillmovetothenext
cycle,Cycle3,whichisa5minutesecondbackwashcycle.Thenextcycle,Cycle4isa10minute
rapidrinse.FinallyCycle5refillsthepotpermtank.
29. Checktomakesureattheendofthecyclesthatthepotpermtankisfilledwithenoughwaterto
coverthefeltpadbyapproximately½to1inchfora1.0–1.5cubicfootsizefilterand2inchesif
youhavea2.5cuftsizesystem.Youcanchangethelevelofpermanganateliquidbyadjusting
thelevelofthefloatassembly.Formostusersthoughitisnotnecessarytoadjustthefloat,it
comessettothecorrectlevel.
30. Aftertheregenerationprocessiscomplete,turnonthewatertothehouseandrunthewaterin
thehouseforafewminutes.
31. RefertoyourFleck7000servicemanualformoreinformationabouthowyourcontrolvalveis
programmedifdesired.

MaintainingYourGreensand7000FilterSystem
AddingPotassiumPermanganate:
Addone5‐lbjugofpotassiumpermanganateevery3‐4months.Checkthepotassiumpermanganate
solutiontankandwhenyouseethemoundofpotassiumpermanganatedisappearafterafewmonths,
justaddanother5‐lbjug.Insomecases,youwon’tseethemound,youmightjustseesolutionaftera
coupleofweeks.ThisisOK,youstillonlyneedtoaddthepotassiumpermanganateevery3monthsin
mostcases.Ifyouhaveitsettoregenerate(backwashcycles)every1–3days,youmightneedtoaddit
morefrequently,perhapsevery2months.
CleantheInjector
Onceayear,cleanthepermanganatesolutiontankandthebrineinjector.
1. Shutoffthewatertothefilterorputthefilteronbypass.



MoreTroubleshootingTips
PotassiumPermanganateNotBeingSuckedInDuringRegeneration
MostproblemsoccurwhentheFleck7000isnotdrawinginthepotassiumpermanganate.Makesure
theinjectorisdrawinginthepotassiumpermanganate:
1. RemovethepermanganatesolutiontanktubingwhereitenterstheFleck7000controlvalve.
2. PresstheExtraCyclebuttonandholdforseveralsecondsuntilabackwashisstarted.Afterthe
displaystopsblinkinganditsinabackwashcycle,presstheExtraCyclebuttonagain,arnditwill
advancetothenextcycle,whichistheBrineCycle,whereitissupposedtosuckinthe
permanganatesolution.
3. Ifissuckingstrongly,checkthepotassiumpermanganatesolutiontankfloatinsidethebrinewell
andmakesurethereisnorubberbandsaroundit,andthatisfreeofobstructions.Insome
casesitmayneedtobereplacedorcleaned,ifthereissuctionatthecontrolvalve,butno
permanganateisbeingdrawnin.
4. IfthereisNOsuctionatthecontrolvalveportwhereyouremovedthepermanganatetubing,
thentheinjectorshouldbecleaned.Thisiseasytodo,seePage14ofthisguideonthestepsto
cleaningtheinjector.
5. Iftheinjectorhasbeencleanedandthereisstillnosuctionchecktomakesurethereisobstruction
inthebackwashline;thatthebackwashlinedoesnotgoupandoverthegreensandfiltermore
thanseveralfeet(whichcausespressurelossandtheinjectornottoworkcorrectly);finallycheck
tomakesurethereisenoughpressure.Ifpossibleincreaseyourwaterpressuretotheironfilter
fromyourwellpumpandseeifaslightlyincreasedpressuremakestheinjectorwork.We
recommendaminimum30PSIbutitdoesworkbetterifthereis40to50minimumPSI.

SystemNotBackwashingAdequately
Theothersecondmainproblemthatmayoccurisifyoudonothaveenoughbackwashflowrateto
properlycleanthegreensandfilter.Youcanverifythebackwashflowratebyrunningthedrainlineinto
abucketandtimingitwhentheFleck7000isinCycle1orbackwash.A1.0or1.5cubicfootsystem


Potassiumpermanganateisapowderthatispouredontopofthe“gridpad”in
thepotpermtank.Duringthebrinefillcycle,waterisaddedtothepotperm
tanktomakeupthepotpermsolutionrequiredforthenextregeneration.
Ifyourpotpermdoesnothave½”to1”ofsolutionabovethegridpad,thefirstto
checkistomakesureitisfillingthetank:
1. Disconnectthe3/8”blackpolylineatthepotpermtankoratthecontrol
