Description

The Invisible Problem



Sand, silt, and rust particles flow through municipal pipes and well lines, settling inside plumbing, valves, and appliance components long before visible damage appears. Even city water treated at the plant carries corrosion debris released from aging infrastructure. Well water introduces sediment through natural erosion and groundwater disturbance. What begins as slight cloudiness at the tap becomes abrasive wear throughout the system.



Sediment acts like fine grit inside water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers, scratching seals, clogging screens, and shortening equipment life. Water heaters accumulate layers at the tank bottom, insulating heating elements and reducing efficiency. Without first-stage sediment filtration, these particles also foul downstream treatment systems, causing premature media failure and increased maintenance costs. For comprehensive protection against multiple well water challenges, explore well water filtration system bundles designed to work in sequence with sediment removal.



The Certified Solution



The AQUAREX™ 20" Whole House Sediment Filter Kit uses graded density polypropylene media rated at 50 microns to capture visible particles before they reach your plumbing system. This first-stage protection extends the lifespan of water softeners, carbon filters, and UV systems by preventing sediment from clogging resin beds and reducing system flow. Built with NSF-certified components and designed for high flow applications up to 20 gallons per minute, this system delivers consistent whole-house protection without pressure loss.



The 20-inch cartridge format provides extended dirt-holding capacity, reducing replacement frequency while maintaining water clarity throughout the home. Made in the USA and engineered for residential, estate, and light-commercial applications, AQUAREX™ sediment filtration supports reliable long-term performance. For homes needing additional chlorine and organic contaminant reduction after sediment removal, consider whole house water conditioners designed to work downstream of sediment filtration.



Pure Water Living



Clean water begins with clarity. When sediment is captured at the point of entry, every fixture benefits. Showers run clear, appliances operate efficiently, and downstream treatment equipment performs as designed. Water heaters maintain heating efficiency without sediment insulation. Plumbing systems stay open and unrestricted. Laundry comes out cleaner without particle staining.



Protecting your investment in water treatment equipment starts with protecting it from sediment. AQUAREX™ delivers that protection consistently, reliably, and affordably. Pure Water. Pure Trust.



Completing Your Water Strategy



While the AQUAREX™ 20" Sediment Filter protects your plumbing from abrasive particles, it does not address dissolved contaminants, chlorine, hardness, or microbial concerns. For comprehensive whole-house water quality, consider adding targeted treatment stages designed to work downstream of sediment filtration. Explore whole house water softeners to address mineral buildup and scale, or review complete city water treatment systems for coordinated filtration, softening, and purification designed to deliver consistent water quality from every tap.
