shall be designed to remove solids equal to or larger

shall provide sufficient filtering capacity so that
backwash time does not exceed 10% of the system
operation time. Within this 10% time period, the
pressure loss across the filter shall remain within the
manufacturer's specification and not cause
unacceptable EU.
Filter/strainer systems designed for continuous

1.0% of the system flow rate or exceeding the
manufacturer's specified operational head loss across
the filter.
