How do I choose the right filter backwash pump?

Consider factors such as flow rate, pressure, and filter type. Consulting North Ridge Pumps ensures you receive expert advice tailored to your specific backwashing needs, ensuring optimal pump selection.

Filter Backwash Pumps for Clean and Efficient Filtration

Filter backwash pumps are used to flush filters that become clogged with sand, seaweed, and other debris. When water or fluid passes through a mesh filter, debris can accumulate, requiring a backwash process to clear the mesh and maintain system efficiency. The pumps work by forcing fluid through the filter in reverse, clearing trapped particles and preventing clogging.

Filters that are clogged can be identified through differential pressure gauges or visible particles downstream. Regular backwashing or using self-cleaning filters prevents this issue and ensures that the system continues to operate efficiently.
