How fast should the water flow from the biosand filter?

The flow rate of the filter should be no more than 0.6 litres per minute when it is completely full. If the flow rate is greater than 0.6 litres per minute, then the sand should be washed less. A flow rate that is less than 0.6 litres per minute is only a problem if it is too inconvenient for the user. If the flow rate is too slow, then the sand can be washed more.
