Apparatus and method are illustrated for removing solids from filter media supported by a backup roll wherein an elongated brush exerts a flicking action on the solids collected by the media during a filtering operation and deposits the solids upon a splash plate where the solids are collected for reclamation. Spray means are provided for directing a backwash of water across the filter media on a side thereof remote from the brush for cleansing the filter media.
