Abstract: A system for isolating reusable filter media from worn media is provided, including a water tank having a first filter, the water tank providing water to a feed tank; the feed tank having a vibrating separator to separate reusable filter media in the feed tank from worn media in the feed tank and water; the vibrating separator including first and second screens sized to separate the reusable filter media and worn media, respectively; wherein the reusable filter media is retrievable from the feed tank; wherein the water provided to the feed tank is led from the feed tank back to the water tank; and a means for transporting filter media from a filtering vessel to the feed tank.
