WATER CONSERVATION NOTE:
Once system has gone through this proper start up, the setting can be adjusted for a water conservation setting which can
reduce the total water usage from 20 minutes (for a proper start-up) down to 11 minutes. The setting is dependant on local
water conditions and usage.
See the step by step instructions to adjust the system self-cleaning settings to conserve water while maintinaing the lter
capabiltieis and the lter longevity
Water Conservation – Water Restrictions – Drought Conditions
With growing issues with water shortages, it becomes more important to lter all your water. However to properly do so
requires a point of entry system that properly self-cleans or backwashes the lter media. This is a requirement in order to get
longevity out of the ltration media. Most importantly, backwashing the lter media is a requirement in order to properly lter
contaminents.
The Valve:
Self-cleaning or backwashing is necessary to provide better ow rates (see non-backwashing pass through tanks with ow
rates @ 7gpm compared to EWS up to 37gpm, 50gpm for 1.5” valves and 100gpm for 2” valves). The valve also provides an
opportunity to either backwash the system properly either automatically or manually.
Water Does Not Need to be Wasted:
Backwash water is used to lift ltration media and prevent packing or channeling and allows for greater surface areas in
order to lter effectively and over a long period of time. This is only ltered water and not a brine and can be used for all pur-
poses and is safe for waste water treatment or to be used. Water can go back to pool to maintain water levels or be used to
water desert landscape creating a zero waste. Make sure to see proper drain applications using a spring check and air gap
requirements for any installation.
The Need to Backwash: (please see back pages)
We have attached a chart excerpted from a large study comparing backwashing and non-backwashing carbon ltration
media which dispels the deceptive marketing of non- backwashing whole home ltration systems. The results show that non-
backwashing systems which render the ltration ineffective. Period.
Great Marketing by Competitors but Unfortunately is Poor or Deceptive Information:
Running the water up through the ltration media or upow is not a proper backwash and makes for poor surface contact
and is ineffective as a ltration device.
In Simpler Terms (if you do not backwash):
The carbon and ltration will not work…! You get ripped off…! It does not do what they say it will…!
