13. 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.
14. 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 Birm 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.
15. For the 2.5 cubic foot and larger systems only: use external drain backwash flow control. If
you have a 1.0 or 1.5 cubic foot or 2.0 cubic foot size, the flow control is internal and there is no
external flow control. Wrap some Teflon tape on the black drain fitting, and screw on the flow
control.

16. Plug in your Fleck 7000 control valve to an outlet. Your Birm Filter 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 Birm Filter will run before it backwashes and regenerates automatically. The default
number of days between back wash is seven.
17. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the service
icon and the parameter display reads TD. Set the time of day by pressing the up or down arrows
until it is the current time of day. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to
resume normal operation, or wait 5 seconds and the unit will return to normal operation if no
button is pressed.
18. Hold down the up arrow and down arrow at the same time for 5 seconds. Set the number of
days between backwashes, typically for 7 days. If your water is very clean (no sediment or iron)
you can set the backwash frequency to as little as every 14 days but its best to leave it to
backwash every 7 days.
