Inch Worm Technology

Our patented Inch Worm™ technology is an enhancement to all of the Evolve series air-charged filtration products. This feature gently releases air, inch-by-inch, when the valve advances into backwash.

With traditional filtration units, this transition can cause noisy and violent thrashing of the drain line. Much like releasing a balloon filled with air, a large rush of air and water exits uncontrollably sending the drain line flying if not properly secured. An Evolve air-charged filter has advanced electronics to regulate the amount of air exiting the unit to do so peacefully.

Filtration using a column of air is a revolutionary concept of oxidizing sulfur, iron, and manganese to form precipitates (or solids) that can easily be filtered and removed by a chemical-free solution. They are some of the most effective point-of-entry filters on the market, but the high-pressure release of air can be troublesome.

A filter capable of utilizing Inch Worm technology is the perfect solution to effectively reduce sulfur, iron, or manganese, with worry-free regenerations. Contact us today online or at 1-920-734-7665 to learn more and schedule your free estimate in Appleton, Oconomowoc, Green Bay, and nearby WI!

How it works

The first cycle that an air-charged filter enters when regenerating is called the “Backwash Air Position.” In this position, the electronics control the valve as it goes through a series of very small movements (“inching along”).

As the water level creeps to the top of the tank, air is released slowly and, more importantly, harmlessly down the drain. This Inch Worm allows for the filter to expel the pressurized excess air without the violence associated with other air systems.
