Remove Sediment From Your City Water
Catch the sand, rust, and grit before it reaches your fixtures, appliances, and other filters.
Why this matters
Sediment is the sand, silt, and rust flakes that ride in from aging city mains, especially after repairs or hydrant flushing. It clogs aerators and valves, wears out appliance seals, and shortens the life of softeners and carbon filters downstream. A sediment filter protects everything after it.
Signs you might have this problem
- Gritty particles in the tub, sink, or kettle
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Clogged aerators and weak shower heads
- A drop in water pressure over time
- Rust flecks after work on the city main

Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
Self-cleaning. It rinses itself on a schedule, so there are no cartridges to change.
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line as the first stage of treatment, ahead of any softener or carbon filter. Cartridge models need a new cartridge every few months depending on load. The backwashing model rinses itself and needs no cartridges. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the sediment filter go?
First, at the point of entry, before the softener and carbon filter, so it protects them from grit.
Cartridge or self-cleaning?
Cartridges are the lowest cost up front. The self-cleaning backwashing model costs more but eliminates cartridge changes, which is worth it if your water carries a lot of sediment.
Will it help my water pressure?
It protects pressure by keeping grit out of fixtures and valves. A clogged cartridge left too long can reduce pressure, which is why the smart and self-cleaning options help.
Not sure which system is right?
Test your water and get a straight recommendation from 360 Water Systems, no pressure.
