Can the NO-DES system be used to backwash on-site GAC filters?

(A) Yes. GAC backwashing is an additional function the NO-DES unit can perform. To do so one end of the transfer hose is connected to the backwash drain outlet of the GAC filter and the other to the inlet of the NO-DES unit. A second transfer hose is connected from the discharge of the NO-DES unit to a hydrant located in the distribution system. The backwash cycle can be controlled by the NO-DES unit without interruption, and the cartridges/bags can be disposed when backwashing is complete.
