Whole-House Sediment & Turbidity System - Clear the Cloudy Water

The problem
Cloudy water caused by sand, silt, rust flakes, and clay is more than an eyesore—it clogs your faucets, reduces water pressure, and accelerates wear and tear on every faucet, appliance, and downstream filter.
Over time, this sediment buildup leads to costly repairs and replacements, poor water flow, and ineffective filtration or softening. Protecting your home from sediment starts with treating the problem before it reaches your pipes and appliances.
How it works — the filter-ag media that fixes it
This system uses a two-stage filtration mechanism. First, a spin-down separator with a reusable flush valve screen traps coarse grit and sediment upfront, preventing large particles from progressing further.
Next, water passes through a backwashing Filter-Ag tank containing a special media bed supported by a gravel underbed and distributor tube. This bed removes fine turbidity down to approximately 20 microns. The backwash cycle keeps the media clean automatically, ensuring low pressure drop and eliminating cartridge replacements.
What it handles
Built for Sediment / cloudy
If your water is cloudy or filled with sediment particles like sand, silt, and rust flakes, this complete two-stage sediment system is designed specifically to clear that turbidity before it ever reaches your home.
Unlike systems focused on chemical contaminants or softening, this sediment filter protects every water-using appliance and fixture by eliminating abrasive particles upfront. Its self-cleaning Filter-Ag media and spin-down separator ensure continuous clarity and flow, perfect for homes with 1 to 6 bathrooms that want a low-maintenance yet robust sediment solution.
The part that decides how long it lasts: the valve
This system runs on a genuine name-brand control valve — the industry-standard brain of the system. Its parts are stocked by water dealers nationwide and stay available for decades, so a worn seal or piston is a quick, low-cost rebuild — never a throwaway. For a Sediment / cloudy where downtime is expensive, that serviceability is the whole point. We never build on unbranded clone heads that strand you when they fail.
Genuine, serviceable, warrantied — a system you keep for 15 years instead of replacing in four.
Product features
What it saves you
By pre-filtering sand, silt, rust flakes, and clay, you shield your softeners, reverse osmosis membranes, water heaters, and appliances from sediment damage and clogging.
This reduces maintenance needs, extends appliance lifespan, and prevents frequent costly downtime or repairs. With no cartridges to buy and a self-cleaning filter bed, ongoing costs and hassle are minimized.
