Backwash Filters vs Traditional Filtration: The Ultimate Cost-Saving Solution

Most plants still using bag or cartridge filters lose thousands annually. Our backwash filters eliminate these expenses with intelligent self-cleaning technology.

The Hidden Costs of Conventional Filtration

Most plants still using bag or cartridge filters lose thousands annually on:

Labor costs: 2-4 hours weekly for changeouts

Disposable media: 3,000−3,000−15,000/year in replacements

Production losses: 15-30 minutes downtime per filter change

Our backwash filters eliminate these expenses with intelligent self-cleaning technology.

3. Is the control system upgradable for future needs?

4. What certifications does it carry? (NSF/ISO/CE)

5. How is warranty support handled locally?

6. Are spare parts standardized or proprietary?

7. Can you provide client references in my industry?
