What to Do if Your Tank is Not Level Out of the Box:
Your black lter tank base is not glued to the bottom of your tank. Occasionally tank bases will
become crooked during shipment. If you nd that that your tank does not sit level on the oor,
you can easily adjust it by holding the empty tank and knocking it on a concrete or solid oor
once or twice to level it.

Pre-Installation
1. View your packing list and make sure you have received all the parts before installation.
2. If you are going to be turning o the water to the house and you have an electric water
heater, shut o the power to the water heater before beginning installation in case water
heater is accidentally drained.
3. Pick a suitable location for your lter 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 the installation is nished a regeneration cycle must be
started, which takes an additional 90 minutes.
5. After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored particularly if you
have 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 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 the Water Softener and before the
second ball valve. This makes it easy to rinse your new Water Softener
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 ttings if needed.
7. Make sure bypass valve is closed (system is in bypass) when you rst start installing and keep
on bypass until you are ready to start it up with the rst 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 lter 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 Water
Softener Works
In the Water Softener, water enters the top of the
tank and ows down through the media and up the
distributor tube. Hardness minerals are attracted to
the resin beads.
During backwash, the water ow is reversed and
water ows down the distributor tube and up
through the media, expanding the Softener resin,
and removing sediment.
After the backwash stage, salt brine is automatically
drawn in from the brine tank which then slowly
rinses through the Softening Resin for 1 hour,
allowing hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium)
to be swapped out with sodium ions in a process
known as ion-exchange.
This entire automatic process, called ‘regeneration’ takes about 90 minutes.
The 7500-REV2.5 Control Valve tracks the amount of water that is used and will backwash based
on gallons OR every 7 days, whichever comes rst.

Softener Tank Assembly and Installation Instructions
1. Wrap the top of distributor tube with masking tape so that no
gravel or Softener resin will go down the distributor tube when
adding the media.
2. If you have a 48K 1.5 cubic size or larger, add the lter gravel
that came with your order. You want the gravel to cover the
bottom distributor screen before adding the Softener resin. For
other sizes no lter gravel is used or recommended.
3. Next add Softener resin. The tank should be about 2/3rds full of
media, do not ll more than 2/3rds, even if there is some media
left over.
4. Remove tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull
up distributor tube when removing cap or tape.
5. Fill tank completely with water.
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-REV2.5 control valve carefully. Do not use
pipe-joint compound, vegetable oil, Teon 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.Insert meter cable into meter cable port on bypass.
11.Install inlet and outlet piping and hook up drain line
tubing to drain.
12.Connect the black 3/8” brine tubing to the brine tank.

13.If you are in earthquake zone, strap your softener tank to wall with metal strapping.
14.Add 5 gallons of water and at least one bag (40 or 50 lbs) softener salt (crystals or pellets) to
brine tank. Brine tank can be lled with salt to within 6” of top but at least put in one bag.
15.Proceed to programming your 7500-REV2.5 control valve timer and backwash frequency.
