Este proceso inicial es necesario para comenzar el proceso de purificación con el fin de eliminar estas partículas grandes que podrían ensuciar o obstruir los equipos utilizados en las etapas posteriores que trae el agua al momento de pasar por las camas de arena. Estos filtros se limpian periódicamente. Dándoles un retrolavado a presión, para ir desalojando las impurezas retenidas que quedan dentro al momento de filtrar.

backwashing under pressure
Explicación:
Backwashing (water treatment)
In terms of water treatment, including water purification and sewage treatment, backwashing refers to pumping water backwards through the filters media, sometimes including intermittent use of compressed air during the process. Backwashing is a form of preventive maintenance so that the filter media can be reused. In water treatment plants, backwashing can be an automated process that is run by local programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The backwash cycle is triggered after a set time interval, when the filter effluent turbidity is greater than a treatment guideline or when the differential pressure (head loss) across the filter exceeds a set value.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backwashing_(water_treatment)

The lter media can be cleaned by washing it down, or by backwashing under pressure, with a supply of clean water.

Note: I really should downgrade that CR to a 3 as I found some references, but not very many. There might be a more commonly-used term for this in English.

  -> Thanks, Neil, sounds good :-)

Coincido  philgoddard: //Yes! Retro is back, lavado is wash, presión is pressure.

  -> Thanks, Phil, although do you really believe this could be "answered by any bilingual person without the aid of a dictionary"?//I'm surprised you'd make such an argument. Care to try it with "hidrolavado" or "retroimpacto"?

Coincido  Neil Ashby: I understand Phil's point, no thinking outside the box is required, just a literal translation and in a few seconds you get the answer....some askers just seem to rely on Kudoz rather than their grey cells.
