NWS 13x54 Filter Unit w/Bypass

This parcel-ready version of the NWS 13x54 Filter Unit with Bypass, alternate part NWTS-AFB-13-UPS, is packaged specifically for parcel truck delivery, making a large filtration platform far easier to ship and receive than a comparable freight shipment. It provides the same high-capacity Nelsen Water Treatment Solutions backwashing assembly—a complete tank-and-valve base ready for the media and plumbing connections you select for your particular water—while sparing you the appointment scheduling and surcharges that freight delivery often involves.

Self-cleaning by design

Backwashing filters periodically reverse flow to fluidize and rinse the media bed, flushing accumulated sediment and contaminants to the drain and restoring filtration capacity without chemicals or salt. Nelsen's three-cycle valve manages the service, backwash, and rinse stages automatically, so the system holds its performance with little day-to-day attention from the homeowner once it has been properly programmed and commissioned. That automatic cleaning is what keeps a high-capacity media bed working effectively between media changes.

Because the unit ships without media, you tailor it to your water. Carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor, sediment media handles turbidity, and specialty media can target iron and pH problems, so the same hardware platform adapts to many different treatment goals. Match the media to the 13x54 tank volume, program the valve for your conditions and household usage, and ensure you have an adequate drain for the larger backwash discharge a high-capacity tank produces. Getting media, cycle timing, and drain sizing right is what delivers long, reliable service. At about 94 lbs, this parcel-friendly configuration brings high-capacity whole-house filtration within reach for larger homes while keeping the receiving and installation process manageable and straightforward. Easy to receive and ready to tailor to your water, this parcel-friendly 13x54 unit puts genuine high-capacity filtration within practical reach for larger households without a freight headache. Because it ships ready for parcel handling, you avoid freight surcharges and scheduling, and because it ships without media, you keep full control over exactly how the system is configured to suit your home's specific water-quality challenges.
