Is there any problem with going under or over the design flow rate on sand filters? If it is ok to go under or over this flow rate, how high over or how far under can one go?
Going over the designed flow can channel the sand and cause debris to bypass the sand. Staying under it is great the more slowly the flow through the sand bed is the more debris gets caught.
