When to Backwash
• Cloudiness (turbidity) of the water coming out
of the filter is one of the best ways to
determine when to backwash.
• Good rule of thumb is 0.1 nephelometric
turbidity units (NTU).
• Head loss on the filter is another indicator.
When the filter gets clogged, more negative
pressure is created. –2.5 to –4 psi or about
10 feet of head loss is a common point to
start the backwash.
