How the "Scanaway" Assembly Works
The Scanaway assembly consists of a suction-scanner and a hollow pipe with suction nozzles that face the inner side of the screen. Outside the filter, a handle is connected to the suction-scanner, allowing turning of the scanner in a spiral movement so it rotates inside the screen surface without touching the screen mesh. Opening the exhaust valve at the filter lid creates low pressure conditions in the suction-scanner, which causes the scanner nozzles to suck in the dirt particles from the screen surface and expel the dislodged particles out through the exhaust valve.
Scanning is done during the filtration process without interrupting the flow of process water through the filter.
How the "Brushaway" Assembly Works
The Brushaway assembly consists of nylon brushes fitted on a frame and insert d into the filter screen. 
Outside the filter, a handle is connected to the brush unit, allowing the flow of process water through the filter.
