The operational effectiveness of a granular media filtration system hinges on maintaining its ability to remove particulate matter from the water supply. A crucial maintenance procedure reverses the flow of water through the filter bed to dislodge accumulated debris and flush it out. This process is essential for preserving optimal filtration performance.
Regular execution of this cleaning activity sustains water clarity and prevents the buildup of excessive pressure within the filtration system. Neglecting this aspect of maintenance can lead to reduced flow rates, compromised water quality, and potential damage to the filter components. Proper execution extends the lifespan of the filter media and minimizes the need for costly replacements.
