The present disclosure relates generally to a fluid flow system having a debris filter media therein to remove debris from a fluid flowing therein. A valve is provided to periodically change the flow direction of fluid within the system so that debris trapped on the debris filter media is scrubbed off by the flow of fluid across a face of the debris filter media.
