Drinking Water Filter Operations & Maintenance (On-Site)
The Drinking Water Filter Operations & Maintenance course is an on-site, facility-hosted training designed to help operators better understand how their filtration systems work, how to evaluate performance, and how maintenance decisions impact finished water quality. This course focuses on practical operation and maintenance concepts that directly affect turbidity, filter run times, and overall system reliability.
By delivering the course on-site, WtrWrx tailors instruction to the host facility’s filter type, configuration, and operating conditions. Operators gain hands-on understanding of their filtration process, while facilities benefit from improved filter performance, extended media life, and more informed operational decision-making.
Course Highlights
Fundamentals of drinking water filtration and treatment objectives
Types of filtration systems, including gravity, pressure, and membrane filters
Filter mechanics, construction, and underdrain systems
Understanding filter media types, sizing, and condition
Monitoring filter performance, including turbidity, head loss, and flow rates
Backwash processes, calculations, and operational considerations
Identifying common filter issues and early warning signs
Preventive maintenance practices to protect filter integrity and performance
This course emphasizes real-world application and operator discussion, helping staff connect daily observations to system performance. Operators earn CEU hours while facilities gain clearer insight into filter behavior, stronger maintenance practices, and training that supports consistent compliance and water quality protection.
Delivery: On-site, facility-hosted
Ideal for: Drinking water treatment operators, maintenance staff, lead operators, and supervisors
