How it applies to the water system

Automatic cleaning instead uses a configured backwash sequence. Available pressure, discharge restrictions and the controller settings determine whether that sequence works effectively.

Selection and operating considerations

Do not use an aggressive cleaning chemical without checking material compatibility. After service, verify correct assembly, sealing and pressure recovery under the same operating conditions.

Planning the requirement in Sabah

For irrigation intakes, hotel landscape systems or industrial pretreatment in Sabah, the source and downstream equipment define the filtration duty. Include normal and peak flow, the existing pump arrangement and access to a cleaning-water supply in the project brief.

Information to prepare

What should I send SWFI for this requirement in Sabah?

Send the site location, source-water information, operating flow and pressure, and the equipment model or photographs where available. SWFI is based in Kota Kinabalu and can review the requested supply or service scope against the site duty.
