The Under Drain and Back Flush

The Water Tool Underdrain has both a balanced output and largest surface area coverage of any Media Filter.

Underdrain of the 24″ Tank

  • All Back Flush water is directed vertically to lift and clean the entire media bed. Channeling of water is virtually eliminated.
    (No wasted back flush water directed downward or horizontally)
  • With a more efficient designed Underdrain; less runtime of a back flush is required.
  • It Saves Water!

Back Flush Valve
(WTA-120)

  • Dedicated custom Back Flush Valve provides positive opening and closing at wide range of pressure (18 to 80 PSI) and flow (45 to 120 GPM).
  • The Back Flush Valve is easy to service or replace with a union connection.

Automatic Back Flush Systems

The Back Flush Controller utilizes “Two Wire” technology for control of all valves. It is specifically designed for back flushing multiple Sand Media Filters in a simple Dial and Button format.

Back Flush Controller
(WTA-150)

Pressure Differential Switch
(PD-S)

Features

  • The Back Flush Controller can control up to 96 separate Back Flush valves.
  • Adjustable Back Flush duration from 15 to 180 seconds in 15 second increments or from 180 to 300 seconds in 30 second increments.
  • A dwell time between each filter Back Flush can be set from 15 to 180 seconds.
  • Flushing frequency can be set from 1 to 16 hours in 1 hour increments or 16 to 24 hours in 2 hour increments.
  • You may initiate a manual flush cycle anytime with a push of a button.
  • The controller can initiate a Back Flush cycle using the Water Tool pressure differential switch;
    part # PD-S
  • Controller will display the number of actual Back Flush cycles during a re-settable time period.
  • Utilizing “Logic Two Wire Technology” makes for a cost effective and efficient installation or system expansion.
