Description
The WECO Backwashing filter with KDF®-55 is a comprehensive whole house Point-Of-Entry (POE) chlorine removal solution tailored for municipal water supplies and chlorinated well water supplies. Utilizing KDF®-55, which comprises high purity copper-zinc granules, this system employs redox reactions to efficiently reduce chlorine and heavy metals in potable water, all without the need for chemical additives. Chlorine, notorious for causing taste and odor issues in drinking water and showers, also acts as a potent oxidizing irritant, leading to discomfort in users of all ages, including pets. Additionally, it adversely affects the sensory experience of beverages and prepared foods.
During operation, water enters the tank through the control valve and passes downward through the KDF-55 filter media, effectively removing impurities. Periodic self-cleaning cycles ensure the continuous efficiency of the filter by rinsing away accumulated contaminants. When the filter medium reaches its saturation point, triggering the backwash process, water is rapidly and forcefully directed backward through the media, dislodging particulate matter and resetting the media bed. The treated water then flows upward through the riser tube and exits the filter through the control valve.
Controller features include:
Offering versatility, the WECO backwashing filter can be utilized independently or in conjunction with other filtration processes. Its adaptability is further enhanced by its availability in various sizes, accommodating different backwash flow rates inherent in plumbing infrastructure. For expert guidance on sizing and configuring filtration systems, customers are encouraged to reach out to WECO Technical Support.
