Pentek Sediment From the Well Pump System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve sediment from the well pump — sized and shipped free.
When sediment from your well pump invades your water supply, it’s more than just an eyesore in your glass. You’ll notice gritty particles clouding your water, faucets clogging, and appliances wearing down prematurely. This persistent sediment doesn’t just affect taste and appearance; it quietly chips away at your plumbing and home systems, leading to costly repairs and declining water quality that impacts your daily life.
The system that fixes it
Introducing the Pentek Sediment From the Well Pump System—engineered to tackle the exact challenge of sediment infiltrating your well water. At its heart lies the Pentek-series backwashing control valve, a precision-engineered head valve designed for reliable, hands-free operation. This valve orchestrates the cleaning process by automatically reversing water flow to flush trapped sediment away, ensuring the system maintains peak performance without manual intervention. Opting for a genuine Pentek control valve means you’re investing in a component that’s serviceable, durable, and specifically built for this application—unlike generic valves that can underperform or fail prematurely.
The system’s backbone is a robust backwashing multimedia tank, crafted to house the Turbidex graded filtration media. This media is specially formulated to capture sand, grit, and sediment particles before they reach and damage your valves, water softeners, and home appliances. The synergy of tank and media offers an enduring defense against sediment accumulation, keeping your water flow steady and your home safeguarded.

How the media works
Turbidex graded filtration media is not your ordinary filter material. It’s a carefully layered blend of filtration granules, each sized to trap and hold sand, grit, and sediment particles as water flows through. These graded layers ensure that larger particles are stopped at the top while finer particles settle deeper, effectively capturing a broad range of sediment sizes. During backwash cycles, the media bed is thoroughly rinsed, flushing away trapped sediment and resetting the media’s filtering power. This cyclical cleansing process keeps the media performing at peak efficiency—your water free from sediment, your system protected.
