Invisible invaders like microplastics are crashing your home’s water supply—tiny synthetic fragments that escape conventional filtration, silently compromising every faucet and appliance. You might notice oddly gritty residue on fixtures, persistent cloudy water, or a faint chemical aftertaste that disrupts your family's comfort. Beyond nuisance, microplastics expose plumbing systems to clogging and corrosion while raising health concerns as these particles infiltrate drinking water, impacting well-being over time.

The system that fixes it

Introducing the Autotrol Microplastics System, engineered to eliminate microplastic contamination at the source. At the heart of this solution lies the Autotrol 263 backwashing control valve, an industry-renowned head valve that orchestrates fully automated cleaning cycles to keep your filtration media consistently effective without manual intervention. Its robust design ensures long-term reliability, meaning your system maintains peak performance without frequent costly repairs or downtime. The filtration tank itself is built for whole-house coverage, housing sub-micron catalytic carbon media specifically chosen for its dual-action capabilities—screening out microplastic particles while simultaneously adsorbing harmful organic compounds that often accompany plastic pollution. This combination delivers crystal-clear, safer water that safeguards your home’s plumbing and enhances your family’s quality of life.

• Autotrol 263 valve provides precise backwashing control to extend media life and sustain filtration efficiency.
• Whole-house tank design ensures all water entering your home is treated, protecting every outlet and appliance.

By targeting microplastics specifically, this system transforms your home’s water into a clean, dependable resource—restoring peace of mind with every drop.

How the media works

The secret weapon inside this system is the sub-micron catalytic carbon media, designed to capture particles smaller than a micron in diameter—far beyond what typical filters catch. This media acts like a finely woven net, physically screening microplastic fragments as water flows through the tank. At the same time, its catalytic properties attract and bind organic molecules that often travel alongside plastics, neutralizing unpleasant tastes and odors. The result is a dual-function media that not only traps the plastic invaders but also purifies water at a molecular level, delivering fresh, contaminant-free water straight to your taps.

Common questions

Q? How does this system manage to remove such tiny microplastics when normal filters fail?
A The sub-micron catalytic carbon media works at a scale small enough to entrap particles under one micron, which conventional filtration misses, combined with the Autotrol 263 valve's backwashing to maintain constant media efficiency.

Q? Will the presence of microplastics in my water damage my plumbing or appliances?
A Yes, microplastic particles can accumulate inside pipes and appliances causing abrasion, clogging, and reduced lifespan. This system helps prevent those damages by filtering them out before they enter your home’s water lines.

Q? How often do I need to maintain the Autotrol Microplastics System?
A Thanks to the automated Autotrol 263 backwashing valve, the system self-cleans regularly, minimizing manual upkeep and maintaining filtration performance over time.
