Water filter cylinders backwash pipe plumbing.

Featured Replies

Good Afternoon, Firstly, I cannot find DIY forum so please move if needed.

I have just had the water system installation completed. Two frp tanks, one with Anthracite, one with carbon. They are fed from the moo bahn system into a 2,000 litre tank. Even though I soaked the media for 48 hours, and did a backwash the water is still cloudy. My questions are, is it ok to have both backwash plumbed together as in the pic, and should I have ball valves fitted to isolate each tank. Finally, the backwash pipe runs to a road drain 30 metres away, should I maybe cut the pipes near the cylinders and fit funnels in order to better monitor the water coming out.

Many thanks for any knowledge that you can share.

Where / in what area are you living ?

Near Surin, but that does not have any relevance really to my enquiry. The water from the moo bahn is not great, but there is a spin down filter before the two cylinders, so they should manage the filtration ok. I just need to know if I am making a mistake with the backwash as the system stands.
