When sediment from your well pump clouds your water, you don’t just see grit and sand—you face clogged fixtures, damaged appliances, and rapidly wearing down valves. That rusty, rough water isn’t just an eyesore; it’s cutting your plumbing’s lifespan and forcing costly repairs. Hard-working pumps struggle, and your family’s water comfort takes a hit without clear, sediment-free flow.

The system that fixes it

The Autotrol Sediment From the Well Pump System is engineered specifically to tackle sediment issues at the source, providing your home with consistently clean and clear water. At its core lies the Autotrol 263 backwashing control valve—a mechanical marvel that automates sediment removal by reversing water flow to flush out trapped sand and grit. This genuine, serviceable brand valve is crucial, ensuring reliable performance and easy maintenance over time, unlike generic or non-branded valves that can clog or break down. The control valve works seamlessly with a robust backwashing multimedia tank, expertly designed to hold Turbidex graded filtration media. This media traps and holds sediment particles before they reach your home’s softeners, appliances, or plumbing fixtures, preventing damage and expensive breakdowns. The combination of high-quality components built to last means your entire water system is protected from sediment’s harsh effects.

How the media works

The secret to this system’s sediment-stopping power is the Turbidex graded filtration media inside the tank. This specially engineered media is layered to capture a wide range of sediment sizes—from fine sand particles to heavier grit. As water flows through the media bed, sediment particles are trapped and held firmly, preventing their passage further into your home's water system. During backwashing, the Autotrol 263 valve reverses the water flow to gently flush the trapped sediment out of the tank, restoring the media’s effectiveness without manual intervention. This continuous cycle of capture and backwash keeps your water sediment-free and your system protected over time.
