Backwashing usually takes about two minutes and uses between 300 and 600 liters of water. Usually the waste water generated from the backwashing process is discharged into the sewerage SYSTEM in accordance with legislation. It is illegal to pump this water to the street or storm water SYSTEM and environmentally most unfriendly. It could potentially destroy our natural eco-systems because of the toxins in the water. This is why it is very important to dispose of BACKWASH water correctly. The EcoGator backwashing SYSTEM makes it easy to comply - it re-cycles the clean BACKWASH water into to your swimming pool.
