Produced water filtration

A control system for an apparatus coupled to a source of water to be cleaned and that executes a cleaning cycle of the apparatus, the control system comprising:

• a processor configured to implement computer executable instructions;
• at least one sensor configured to detect a parameter and to transmit a signal reflective of the parameter to the processor;
• a computer memory in communication with the processor and storing computer executable instructions, that when implemented by the processor cause the processor to perform functions comprising:
• receive a signal reflective of the parameter from the at least one sensor;
• generate a cleaning signal as a function of the parameter;
• transmit the cleaning signal to at least one valve to close the valve to the source of water to be cleaned;
• and,
• operate a cleaning cycle in which a cleaning water is flushed through at least one filter pot in a second direction opposite to a first direction in which the water to be cleaned flows.
