Four Pentair Triton II Commercial TR140C-3 silica sand-filled filter tanks operate in parallel to capture particles in the water that passes through. As particles accumulate, flow is restricted. This is indicated by an increase in pressure. | Four Pentair Triton II Commercial TR140C-3 silica sand-filled filter tanks operate in parallel to capture particles in the water that passes through.

Periodic back-washing is required when filter tank pressure exceeds a threshold. PHTA recommends back-washing when a single gauge pressure reaches 8-10 PSI above the starting value (typically 10 PSI). The backwashing procedure is described [[Backwashing|here]] | Periodic back-washing is required when filter tank pressure exceeds a threshold.
