ABSTRACT:
New methods are disclosed for improving the cleansing the plurality of seriate filter beds in automatic backwash filtering systems, equipped with a traveling backwash shoe, in which the beds are backwashed one at a time with backwash liquid from an effluent channel common to seriate effluent ports of the plurality of filter beds by pumping the backwash liquid seriatim through separate effluent ports of individual filter beds and then flowing filtered effluent from each bed through its effluent port into the effluent channel, repeating such steps of backwashing and flowing filtered effluent on individual filter beds until all the filter beds in the system have been backwashed, wherein, simultaneously with the backwashing of such active bed, the bed forward in the direction of travel of the backwash shoe is subjected to a prewash with chemical treatment liquid by pumping such liquid upwardly in such forward bed through its effluent port. Apparatus for carrying out the improved methods is also disclosed.
