BACKWASHING CARBON FILTERS
Chlorine, Colour & Organics
Backwashing carbon filters are the go-to solution for high flow rate carbon filtration, where a traditional filter cartridge will not achieve the required flow rate. This makes them especially popular for use with private water supplies (such as boreholes, springs and wells) to remove several contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals and VOCs. The ability to backwash the carbon bed provides a significantly longer lifespan than their cartridge equivalents, giving a service life of 3-5 years depending on water quality.
Each system is supplied partially assembled with some of the valve programming already complete, meaning that some assembly will be required on site. Systems come as standard with a Clack WS1 control valve, featuring a 1” BSP inlet and outlet.
How Often Do I Need To Replace The Carbon In These Backwashing Carbon Filters?
It is recommended to replace the carbon media on average every 3-5 years, depending on water quality. If you start to notice chlorine breakthrough or the carbon media feels slimy, it should be replaced sooner.
