- Initiate Backwash: Turn the knob at the top of the filter to the "CLEAN" setting. This reverses the water flow and agitates the biological media, dislodging trapped debris.
- Discharge Waste: Dirty water will be expelled through the backwash discharge hose. Continue until the water runs clear.
- Irrisettja l-Filtru: Turn the knob back to the "FILTER" setting. Press the 'Reset Clean' button on the control panel to reset the indicator.
This process typically takes less than 5 minutes and should be performed as indicated by the 'Clean' light or when water flow significantly decreases.
