Filter Production: What is the NET water production per day from each filter. Net water production = (Gross Water Production) – (Water consumed in cleaning + filter to waste). Assume: a) A filtration rate of 3 gpm/ft2 (7.3 m/hr) b) 11 min backwash at 24 gpm/ft2 c) 1 backwash/day d) 10 minutes of waste after each backwash. e) filters are 30-foot x 30 foot.
