Remove Sediment & Grit From Your Well Water
Catch the sand and silt a well pulls up, before it wears out your pump, fixtures, and other systems.
Why this matters
Wells draw water straight from the ground, so they pull up sand, silt, and grit, especially as the well ages or the water table drops. That grit wears out pump components and fixtures, clogs aerators and valves, and fouls softeners, filters, and RO systems downstream. A sediment filter is the first line of defense.
Signs you might have this problem
- Sandy or gritty particles in the tub, sink, or kettle
- Cloudy or murky water, worse after heavy use
- Clogged aerators, weak shower heads, and sticking valves
- Faster wear on the pump and appliances
Recommended 360 systems
360 Dual-Stage Whole Home Filter
A two-stage housing for finer particulate plus a carbon stage.
Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
Self-cleaning for heavy well sediment. It rinses itself, so there are no constant cartridge swaps.
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line as the first stage, ahead of any softener, iron filter, or RO system, so it protects them from grit. Cartridge models need a new cartridge every few months depending on how much sediment the well carries. The backwashing model rinses itself and needs no cartridges, which pays off on sandy wells. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the sediment filter go on a well system?
First, right after the pressure tank, before the softener, iron filter, and RO. It shields everything downstream from grit.
My well carries a lot of sand, cartridge or self-cleaning?
Choose the self-cleaning backwashing filter. Heavy sand clogs cartridges fast, so a system that rinses itself saves constant changes.
Will a sediment filter fix cloudy water?
It removes the grit and particulate that cause most cloudiness. Cloudiness from iron, tannin, or air needs the matching treatment.
