The Model SGM-250P backwashes based upon pressure differential across the filter media. Additionally, an adjustable timer allows back washing for up to five minutes. The factory setting is four minutes. The pressure differential switch is adjustable for pressure drop and dead band. Backwash will start when the pressure differential reaches set point plus the dead band. For example, if the pressure differential is set for 6 psi, the dead band for 4 psi, and the backwash timer for 4 minu
