Why it works

At the heart of the system lies Turbidex graded filtration media paired with a garnet underbed. The Turbidex media is specially formulated to trap fine sediment particles down to approximately 5 microns, far smaller than what many conventional filters capture. During the automatic backwash cycle, the system reverses water flow to flush out the trapped sediment, cleansing itself without manual intervention. The garnet underbed adds stability and enhances the filtration process by supporting the Turbidex layer. This combination ensures highly efficient removal of sand and silt, maintaining consistent water clarity and protecting your home’s plumbing.

Available in every brand we carry. Whichever valve you prefer, the media doing the work is the same — browse Fleck, Autotrol, C-Series, Pentek or Pentair.
