Fleck 7000 SXT

Installation Guide

Before you assemble your new system, be sure that the following conditions

have been met for placement of your softener:

Level, firm surface, such as concrete, on which to place the softener

tank and salt tank AKA Brine Tank.

Nearby floor drain or standpipe to connect to the softener for use

during each regeneration.

Standard US plug, 120v 60hz (the softener system includes a 5ft.

power cord and plug). Be sure the outlet you use is not connected to

a light switch.

Make a list

Make a list of all of the plumbing fittings needed to install; a typical list looks like this:

Eight 90° elbows, two –female adapters if installing in plastic.

Proper amount of pipe you need

½” drain line

Getting Started

Page 2 of 17

Fleck 7000 SXT

Position your new softener unit where you want it placed for use.

Inside the Softener tank you’ll find a 1.05" gray or white Pvc tube

(called a distributor tube.) If the tube does not already have a cap on

the top use a pvc slip cap or some duct tape to temporarily plug this

tube (this is to keep the resin from going down the tube.) If your

system came with gravel, add the gravel first, then the resin. Use the

included special funnel when adding the resin. This will take about 10

minutes.

After adding the resin, remove the temporary cap, clean the valve

threads with water, and screw the valve on. When screwing the valve

on the tank the tube will slip into the bottom of the valve hole. Note:

No silicone or tape is needed; the valve is o-ring fit and only needs to

be tightened by hand. Do not over tighten.

Assemble all tools

needed for

installation.

If you are using copper you will need a copper cutter, propane tank, soldering torch, flux, wire paper, and

lead free solder.

Now that you have collected the materials and added the resin you are ready to install.

Adding Resin

Please follow the instructions below step by step in order to correctly

complete the installation of your new water softener from Quality Water

Treatment.

Attaching the Bypass

valve

1. Turn off the main water shut off valve.

2. Open all plumbing fixtures in the house including the outside faucets in order to drain the lines.

Unscrewing the aerator screen from your bathroom and kitchen faucets will help drain the lines faster.

3. Cut and remove a 4” section of the water line where the unit is to be installed.

4. Remove the plastic clips that are connected between the plastic bypass and the plastic meter assembly.

Remove the bypass valve from the meter assembly by pulling it away from the meter assembly. Notes: Be

sure to leave the meter assembly in place. If soldering we do not recommend applying heat from a

soldering torch to solder copper pipe to new valve/meter assembly.

5. Solder adapters of your choice to copper tales we provided or glue adapters to pvc tales if you ordered

your system with that option.

6. Once the pieces of 1” or 1 1/4” Adapters of your choice are soldered or glued into the adapters wait until

they are cool enough to touch.

7. Re-attach the plastic bypass valve back onto the valve/meter assembly and secure it with red clips

Final water line

Installation

1. First, Measure and cut the lengths of pipe you need to plumb the hard water line into your softener unit.

Then do the same for the soft water line that will exit from the softening unit back into the home.

2. The unit will be marked either on the back of the valve body itself with the word “In” and “out” or the top

of the body of the bypass valve assembly will have arrows showing the direction of water flow. “OUT” is

the water entering your house after it passes through the water softener. Shown in Figure 1. PLEASE be

careful to follow these correctly, making sure you plumb the system in the right direction otherwise you

will lose the resin out of your tank into your house lines!

3. Once you have made all the connections put the system in Bypass (holes in the two bypass handles should

be Up and Down)

4. Put the threaded drain line adapter in place (figure 2) using Teflon tape (only) to make sure it’s snug.

5. Now that you have the adapter in place you can attach your drain line. (Do NOT attach your drain line to

the elbow on the brine tank; it will overflow the brine tank). Running the drain line to a house drain such

as where your washing machine drain line goes is an excellent choice, if this is not possible then you can

drain into another area of your choice; Note: Do not run drain line to plants, shrubs, trees or a lawn unless

using potassium chloride instead of rock salt, make sure you have an air gap if going into a pipe. (Air Gap:

Open area where there is no standing water). Your drain line can be elevated up to 5 feet over/above

where it comes out of the valve and up to 100 feet away. Remember to always follow your local codes.

6. Slide a 1/2” hose clamp over the drain line then slide the drain line over drain hose barb. Slide hose clamp

over the drain and barb, tighten the clamp.

7. Plug your power cord into a nearby outlet that is not connected to a switch.

Make sure you have all of the pieces to the brine assembly. The nuts and

ferrules are now combined into one and are usually already attached to the

brine assembly; please check this to make sure.

Brine tank

installation

instructions

1. The float assembly is a safety float; it only functions if there is a failure in the control valve. This will insure

that the brine tank won’t over flow with water. The safety float DOES NOT dictate the water level in your

brine tank.

2. Measure 10” from the top of the air check valve (shown as #1 in figure 3 below) to the bottom of the float

(shown as #2 in figure 3 below). You may have to gently push the float rod through the rubber gametes to

achieve this, cut any existing rod off.

3. Slide the float assembly into the brine well (shown in figure04 below) and stick the stud into the side hole

on the brine well ( shown in figure 5). Be sure to secure it with the nut we supplied you.

4. Take the clear brine tubing that we supplied and slide it through the hole in the brine tank and into the

brine well.

5. Slip the plastic nut (the ferrules are attached) over brine tubing then push brass insert into brine tubing.

6. Insert tube into top fitting on float shown in figure 6 below, hand tighten it then snug up with a small

wrench. Note: Tape is not required, this is a compression fitting.

7. Take the other end of the tube, slide the nut/ferrule combination over it and insert sleeve into tube. Push

the tube into the side of the control valve shown in figure 7 above. Tighten by hand then snug up with a

small wrench.

Congratulations! You have completed the installation of your Fleck 7000 SXT

It is now time to being programming. Please follow the step by step

instructions listed below to correctly program your water softener.

Figuring your water

Hardness

It will be important to know what your water Hardness and Iron content is before doing this programming

procedure. If you do not know your water hardness or iron content you should either look up your city

water quality report by going to Google and typing in: water quality report (enter your water supply

company or the city that you are in) , or take a 8 oz sample to a pool supply store to have it tested.

Your Hardness test results may indicate GPG, PPM, or Mg/L. It is important to note that PPM and Mg/L are

the same measure and both figures can be treated interchangeably. If you get a hardness figure in PPM or

Mg/L, please divide this number by 17.1 to get Grains Per Gallon “ GPG”.

Iron results should also be measured in either PPM or Mg/L. Add your level of iron multiplied by 3. Add this

number to your hardness level. This figure will be your Total hardness content that you will program into

your softener system.

Example:

if water hardness is 10 GPG and the iron is 1 PPM or Mg/L take the iron content of 1 and x 3 = 3 GPG

hardness plus 10 GPG = total compensated hardness 13 GPG

Enter and being

programming

First plug in your 7000 SXT Valve to a nearby outlet. The system will illuminate 4 digits and show the time

of day and the amount of gallons remaining. This display will switch between these values about every 5

seconds.

PLEASE NOTE: The valve below is a 2510 sxt valve but the display should look the same as the 7000 sxt.
