Reversible Filtration System

A reversible fluid filtration system, comprising:

• a receiver unit having a first side and an opposite second side, and defining a fluid channel, the first side including a first sealing member configured for releasable engagement with a fluid delivery unit connected to a fluid source;
• a fluid filtration unit having a first end configured for removable attachment to the receiver unit via the second side and a second end with a filtration channel defined therebetween, the first end defining a filter inlet and the second end defining a filter outlet, and a unit of filter media positioned between the first and second ends, the filter outlet being in fluid communication with the fluid channel when the first end is attached to the receiver unit, wherein
• when the first sealing member is engaged with the fluid delivery unit and the fluid source is under pressure, the fluid from the fluid source is forced through the filter media in a first direction and from the filter outlet, and the second end of the fluid filtration unit is configured for removable attachment to the receiver unit via the second side, thereby allowing the fluid filtration unit to be reversed whereupon fluid from the fluid source under pressure is forced through the filter media in a second direction opposite of the first direction, thereby removing at least a portion of material present on the filtration media.
