Hello everyone,
This is my first post, but I've been reading here for a long time now. Thanks for all the great info.
I'm about to undertake either a rejuvenation or replacement of my currently out of service well filtration system. I'm waiting for my KAR test kit, so I'm sure I'll be back with more specific questions once those results are in.
In the meantime, I have a general question. It seems that metered control valves are very popular for softener regeneration but not for filter backwash. Why is that? It seems to me that flow would be a really important factor in optimizing filter backwash interval. Is it about cost and simplicity or is there some reason that a timed interval is just better with filtration media? Does anyone do it?
Thanks!
Nick
