Lakos Twist II Clean Self-Cleaning Filter - 1in - Patented Reverse-Flush Backwash Technology

No-Disassembly Backwash Filtration for Irrigation & Water Treatment

The Lakos Twist II Clean Filter brings self-cleaning convenience to irrigation and water treatment systems with its reverse-flush backwash design. A simple quarter-turn of the handle initiates a powerful inside-out backwash action that clears debris from the entire filter element in seconds -- then flushes it out through the bottom port. No disassembly, no cartridge removal, no downtime. Just twist, flush, and continue -- keeping your system protected with minimal maintenance burden.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reverse-Flush Backwash: A 1/4-turn of the handle triggers an inside-out flushing action that clears debris from the filter element without disassembly or tools.
• Flush in Seconds: The entire backwash cycle takes just a few seconds -- debris is cleared off the filter element and expelled through the bottom flush port.
• No Filter Cartridge to Replace: The self-cleaning design eliminates recurring filter cartridge costs and replacement labor.
• 1-Inch Connections: Standard 1-inch threaded connections for compatibility with common irrigation and water treatment system plumbing.
• Reduces System Maintenance Downtime: The ability to clean in-line without shutting down the system keeps operations running with minimal interruption.

Who Should Use This

Ideal for greenhouse and irrigation operators who want reliable inline filtration at high-maintenance points where frequent filter cleaning is required, particularly where drip emitters, misters, or sprinklers need protection.

Compatibility

1-inch threaded connections. For use in irrigation and water treatment applications. The bottom flush port requires an open drain connection to discharge backwash water during cleaning cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How exactly does the reverse-flush backwash work?

During normal filtration, water flows from outside-in through the filter element, depositing debris on the outer surface. When you turn the handle a quarter-turn, the flow direction reverses through the element inside-out, clearing accumulated debris off the screen and flushing it out through the bottom drain port.

Does backwashing stop water flow to the system?

The backwash cycle is designed to be performed quickly, typically just a few seconds. The system remains operational during and immediately after the backwash cycle, with no need to shut the line down first.

Is there a filter cartridge that needs periodic replacement?

No -- the Twist II Clean uses a durable, self-cleaning filter element rather than single-use cartridges. Cleaning is accomplished through the twist-and-flush mechanism rather than cartridge swaps.

Where does the flushed debris go, and when should I flush it?

Backwashed debris is expelled through the bottom flush port and should be routed to an open drain or waste water collection point. Flush whenever you notice reduced flow or on a regular maintenance schedule to keep the element clear.
