Nelsen 10x44 Filter Unit

The Nelsen 10" x 44" Backwash-Only Filter Unit is a complete, automatic filtration platform ready to be loaded with the media of your choice. Designed for whole-home applications, this backwash-only system periodically flushes and resettles its media bed to maintain consistent flow and filtration performance without the need for chemical regeneration. It's an excellent foundation for tailoring a filtration solution to your specific water issue.

Key Features

• Nelsen C-Series EE 1" 3-cycle backwash filter valve
• Bypass valve for easy service and maintenance
• Black polyglass mineral tank in a 10x44 size
• Basket distributor and gravel underbed included
• Automatic backwash-only operation

At the core of this unit is the dependable Nelsen C-Series control valve, which automatically initiates a 3-cycle backwash to clean the media bed on a set schedule. The included bypass valve lets you isolate the system for service without shutting off water to the house, while the basket distributor and gravel bed support even flow and proper media support inside the black polyglass mineral tank. This combination keeps filtration consistent and the media bed in good condition over time.

Because this is a backwash-only platform, it's highly versatile: simply add the filter media suited to your water issue, whether that's sediment, taste and odor, iron, or pH correction. Note that filter media and plumbing connections are ordered separately, giving you the flexibility to tailor the system precisely to your specific water conditions. Routine backwashing keeps the media bed clean and prevents channeling, extending media life and preserving flow rate. From Water Softener Plus on the trusted Nelsen platform, this 10x44 unit is a flexible, reliable foundation for custom whole-home filtration.

For a smooth installation and long service life, consider the following. Backwash filters are popular because they handle a wide range of water problems simply by changing the media inside, with no salt or chemicals required to operate. The control valve runs an automatic backwash on a schedule, lifting and rinsing the media bed to flush captured particles and keep flow strong. That makes the unit a low-maintenance, adaptable choice for treating sediment, taste and odor, iron, or pH at the point of entry.
