Once a day, a technician should take the reading on the backwash counter and filter inlet/outlet pressure, and enter the information into a logbook. We have included a suggested log sheet at the end of this section.
Once a week, a manual backwash should be initiated. During the backwash cycle, the opening and closing of the valves should be verified.
