Clogged filters are the nemesis of water purification—reducing flow, breeding bacteria, and driving up costs. But for stainless steel filters, backwash technology is a revolutionary solution that tackles clogging at its root. Here’s how this innovation transforms maintenance from a chore into a seamless process.
Why Stainless Steel Filters Clog
Even durable stainless steel meshes succumb to:
✔ Micro-particle cementation: Silt and minerals fuse under pressure
✔ Biofilm formation: Bacteria create adhesive colonies in pores
✔ Oxidation buildup: Iron/manganese particles oxidize and stick
Result: 60% flow reduction within 6 months for non-backwash systems
The Backwash Breakthrough
Reverse Hydraulic Scouring
Water reverses at 2-3x normal pressure (25-40 PSI)
Blasts debris from both inside and outside of pleats
Removes 92% of trapped sediment in 90 seconds
Mechanical Shear Effect
Sudden flow reversal shears biofilm matrices
Prevents bacterial recolonization for 50% longer
Self-Diagnostic Cleaning
Smart sensors trigger cleaning when flow drops 15%
Adjusts cycle frequency based on water turbidity
Proven Performance Data
• Restores 95% flow rate after each cycle (NSF/ANSI 42 verified)
• Extends service life: Backwash-enabled filters last 3-5 years vs. 1-2 years
• Water efficiency: Modern systems use ≤5% of filtered water for flushing
Maintenance Made Obsolete
Zero disassembly: No screws, housings, or tools
Fully automated: Program weekly/monthly cycles via phone app
Waste management: Flushed debris directed to drain, not your plumbing
Who Benefits Most?
→ Well water users (high sand/silt)
→ Urban areas with frequent pipe maintenance
→ Commercial kitchens requiring uninterrupted flow
The End of Clogging Anxiety
Backwash isn’t an feature—it’s a fundamental redesign of filter sustainability.
