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 Get all of your plumbing parts together before beginning installation Installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours However after installation the Sediment Backwash Filter must be allowed to run through a complete backwash and rinse cycle After the system is installed and running your water may be discolored or full of sediment or rust particularly if this is older or corroded piping Typically this clears up over a day or two Best Practices for Piping amp Drain Installation 1 See typical installation see Fig 2 The Sediment Filter is installed after the pressure tank Make sure to follow to connect the in pipe to the Fleck 2510 inlet and the outlet to the outlet see Fig 2 As you face the Fleck 2510 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 Make sure there is a working gate or ball valve before the Fleck 2510 Sediment Filter and also one after as shown in the diagram Fig 2 The pressure gauges are optional and perhaps not necessary but a hose bib which is a faucet that you can attach a garden hose to is strongly recommended after the Sediment Filter before the second ball v

CLEAN WATER SYSTEMS Clean Water Made Easy www cleanwaterstore com Fleck 2510 Sediment Filter Installation amp Start Up Guide Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System With proper installation and a little routine maintenance your system will be providing neutral pH water for many years Your new system comes with a printed Fleck Service manual which along with this Start up guide will help guide you in the installation and start up of your new system The Fleck service manual covers other types of systems as well such as water softeners and filters so there may be information in your Fleck service manual that does not pertain to your system Please review this start up guide entirely before beginning to install your system and follow the steps outlined for best results SEDIMENT MEDIA CONTAINS DUST USE PAPER MASK AND VENTILATE TO AVOID BREATHING DUST Questions Call us toll free 1 888 600 5426 or 1 831 462 8500 Email us support cleanwaterstore com See more information on our website www cleanwaterstore com resources Fleck 2510 Sediment Installation amp Startup Guide Table of Contents FACING a cgee sac teros sae setae E E hte aes E ee se eatenecec tat osanesseosecd uhssechuveee lt esabeneress 3 PPS CUM AG IO srceeca roman tare noaneicetinnastoceasecetisian sa tisuc nec acsectenns tian bree A A neue saaenepinnastecesaamastannesusoesetee 4 Best Practices for Piping amp Drain Installation cccccccss
