 This

 

Normal pressure at the                            pressure indicates  that it is 

        beginning of a filtering                            necessary to 

“BACKWASH”

 

 cycle.

 

 

 

BACKWASH 

 
Each  load  of  sand  forms  thousands  of  channels  which 
pick  up  all  the  material  contained  and  caught  up  in  the 
filtering process, the number of free channels allowing the 
water  to  pass  is  continually  decreasing.  This  is  why  the 
pressure  rises  progressively  until  it  reaches  1.3  kg/cm

2

.   

At this pressure the filtering sand is unable to collect any 
more impurities and must be cleaned as follows: 
Turn the selector valve to the “BACKWASH” position 
and  with  the  main  drain  and  return  valves  open, 
switch  on  the  pump  and  run  it  for  2  minutes. When 
this operation is completed, the dirt blocking the filter 
will have been removed.
