A flow indicator on the filters tells you when the filter needs cleaning. They do not have to be taken to pieces to clean. There is a second outlet on the top of the filter for back flushing. This is normally laid in the garden so that when the filter is back flushed you feed your plants with high nitrates as well. Using the control valve on top, you set it to back flush. The water is then pumped backwards through the filter sponges to clean them out. Also there is a handle on the top that lifts up to squeeze the dirt out of the sponges.
