Maintenance for multimedia filtration systems is relatively low, making them a preferred choice for both commercial and residential users. The primary maintenance task is backwashing, which involves reversing the flow of water to flush out the trapped contaminants from the filter media.
Depending on your water source and volume of usage, backwashing may be required every few days to once a week. Some systems are equipped with automatic backwash controls, reducing the need for manual intervention and ensuring optimal performance at all times.
The filter media itself is long-lasting. Typically, the different layers—gravel, sand, and anthracite—can last anywhere from 3 to 5 years before needing replacement. During routine inspections, the media depth and condition are evaluated to ensure continued efficiency.
