This should especially be taken into consideration if hydrostatic conditions
(e.g., tank height and pipe cross-sections) are influencing the backflow.
Ensure that these values are not exceeded.

The Following Must Be Noted:
Note crossflow conditions during filtering. When filtering under static conditions
(dead-end filtration), the filtration performance of the cassettes is greatly reduced
