backwash is the English name for reverse rinsing: water flows in the opposite direction to the service direction, lifts the bed and flushes the accumulated sediment into the drain.

What does backwash mean in practice?

In automatic filters, backwash is a specific phase of the cycle in which the bed rises and releases retained particles into the sewage system.

When does it matter?

It is not a chemical regeneration or simple flushing of the installation; its effectiveness depends primarily on reverse flow.

Which solutions are related to it?

Set the time according to the sludge load and provide a pump and drain capable of handling the required flow.
