An apparatus for enhanced cleaning of a filter unit, said apparatus being comprised of a closed reaction chamber body (25) adapted to receive and store in a reaction chamber (35) back-flush fluid, preferably filtrate, further adapted with access porting to chemically treat (30) and monitor (34) and to thermally (32) treat and monitor (33) said stored fluid and further adapted to receive (28) and vent (29) compressed gas into the gravitationally oriented upper section of the reaction chamber (35). Said reaction chamber (35) being further provided therein with conveyance tubing (8) so configured to facilitate hydraulic communication between the gravitationally oriented lower section of the reaction chamber (35) and a back-flush fluid inlet port of the filter unit being served. The conveyance tubes (8) and the reaction chamber (35) being co-oriented in a substantially vertical direction. The conveyance tubes (8) being so configured that the lower ends (26) are open to the reaction chamber while the upper sections pass through the sealing plate (17) at the top of the reaction chamber (35) and direct toward the back-flush inlet port of the filter unit. Said conveyance tubes (8) being further provided with orifice perforations (27) in the area proximate to the upper section of the reaction chamber (35). Said orifice perforations (27) therein provided to facilitate back flush enhancement of the chemically and thermally treated back flush fluid by means of atomization and entrainment of the high pressure gas bled from the reaction chamber (35) into the conveyance tubes (8) antecedent to discharge from the apparatus to the serviced filter unit. Wherein to facilitate back flush cleaning of the serviced filter unit, high pressure gas is admitted into the gas inlet port (28) to pressurize, displace and force the back flush fluid downward in the reaction chamber (35), into the open lower ends (26) of the conveyance tubes (8), upward in the conveyance tubes (8), past the orifice perforations (27),wherein high pressure gas is atomized and entrained and passed onwards from the apparatus to the back flush inlet port of the filter unit.
