The universal recommendations for backwashing Filox (aka Catalox) are like doing oil changes: based on time as well as usage. I never understood why I'd have to change the oil in my car every 3 months whether I drove it or not, and similarly I'd like to understand why Filox needs to backwashed every couple of days regardless of how much usage it's getting. Anyone know?
It's a bit disconcerting to think that I might only draw a couple hundred gallons of use, and then have to spend 120 gallons to backwash the filter.
