If not removed,
the entrapped contaminants will
clog up the filter, rendering
it to be less effective in its
filtration process, resulting
in deteriorating water quality.

Most
importantly, if left in the water filtration
system, the entrapped contaminants (which
consists of rust, sand, mud, organic
matter, etc), will decay over time.
As more raw water runs through the filter,
the free chlorine will react with these
decaying matter – forming a chemical
compound called Trihalomethanes –
a highly carcinogenic compound.
Without proper backwashing, you and
your family will be in danger of drinking
a cocktail of THM in your water. |

 |
| The backwashing process
must have enough velocity (power) to
flush out entrapped contaminants. |
HydroGuard has been engineered to provide
the most effective backwash velocity.
Its size – width, height; weight of
the media and in-coming water pressure
needs to be considered to ensure the
media can be lifted up, washed, and
contaminants flushed out. |
|
|
| It is advisable that
the backwashing procedure is conducted
daily. With HydroGuard Primär’s automatic
backwash feature, a timer can be set
to ensure this is done daily, after
midnight, when the water pressure is
highest. |
