Water filter Afriso AWF120 3/4" for drinking water with backwash, model 4212000

The Afriso AWF120 3/4" for drinking water with backwash, model 4212000, is an inline particulate filter designed for potable water systems. It removes suspended solids and debris from the water supply to protect faucets, valves and appliances. The filter housing and internal elements are configured for installation in domestic and light-commercial lines where routine backwashing is used to clear accumulated particles without frequent replacement of the filter media.

Advantages

The AWF120 features a built-in backwash function that allows retained particles to be flushed out quickly, reducing downtime and maintenance effort. Its 3/4" connections fit standard residential piping and the compact inline design minimises space requirements. Materials are selected for compatibility with drinking water applications and the construction supports repeated backwashing cycles, extending operational life while maintaining filtration performance.

Suitable for

• Protection of household plumbing fixtures and appliances
• Pre-filtration ahead of water heaters, softeners or microfiltration units
• Small commercial installations with moderate particulate loads
• Applications where periodic backwashing simplifies maintenance

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4" inline
• Function: particulate filtration with backwash (reverse flush)
• Intended fluid: potable drinking water
• Installation type: horizontal or vertical inline piping (follow local plumbing codes)
• Maintenance: periodic manual or valve-actuated backwash to clear trapped solids

How to use

Install the AWF120 in the cold-water supply line using appropriate fittings and observe the correct flow direction stamped on the housing. After installation, open the supply and check for leaks. Monitor the unit for pressure drop or visible debris buildup. When flow rate decreases or a pressure differential is noted, perform a backwash cycle according to the manufacturer’s instructions to flush out accumulated particles. Follow local regulations for potable water installations and use compatible sealants and tools.

Usage recommendations

Schedule regular inspections and backwash cycles based on water quality and usage. Replace any worn seals or gaskets after extended service. If turbidity or sediment levels are high, consider installing a preceding coarse pre-filter or adjusting maintenance intervals to maintain consistent performance.
