Invisible to the naked eye, microplastics infiltrate your home's water supply, leaving behind more than just a gritty residue. These tiny fragments can accumulate in faucets, reduce water clarity, and even impart odd tastes and odors that disrupt daily life. Over time, microplastics erode plumbing efficiency, threaten your health, and undermine your confidence in every sip, shower, and appliance cycle.

The system that fixes it

The Pentair Microplastics System is engineered to confront microplastic contamination head-on, delivering clean, safe water throughout your entire home. At its core, a genuine Pentair-series backwashing control valve ensures reliable, automated filtration management—this valve controls multi-stage cleaning cycles that flush trapped microplastics and refresh the media, maintaining peak performance without you lifting a finger. Built around a robust whole-house filtration tank, the system incorporates sub-micron catalytic carbon media designed specifically to trap microscopic plastic particles while simultaneously adsorbing organic contaminants. This precise pairing of hardware and advanced media means your water is not only free from visible debris but also purified of hidden microplastic threats.

• Backwashing control valve automates cleaning cycles, extending media life and filtration efficiency
• Whole-house tank construction withstands pressure and delivers consistent flow to all faucets
• Sub-micron catalytic carbon media captures microplastics smaller than typical filters can detect
• Adsorbs organic compounds that often cling to microplastics, improving taste and odor
• Servicing friendly design with genuine Pentair valve means reliable repairs and parts availability

What it does for your home

• Eliminates microplastic particles that cloud water and settle in fixtures
• Prevents accumulation of plastic debris that can degrade plumbing components
• Enhances water clarity for clearer drinking, cooking, and bathing water
• Improves taste and odor by removing organics commonly found alongside microplastics
• Supports healthier skin and hair by reducing exposure to plastic contaminants
• Protects appliances from microplastic-related damage, extending their lifespan

By targeting microplastics specifically, this system preserves the integrity of your entire home's water, bringing peace of mind with every drop.

How the media works

The heart of the Pentair Microplastics System’s filtration lies in its sub-micron catalytic carbon media. Unlike standard filters that catch only large debris, this advanced media filters particles smaller than a micron—far below what you can see. The catalytic carbon not only traps these microplastic fragments effectively but also adsorbs organic substances that often adhere to plastic particles. This dual-action process means the water you use is cleaner, fresher, and free from the hidden contaminants that conventional filters miss.

Common questions

Q? How does this system know when to backwash and clean itself?
A The Pentair-series backwashing control valve is programmed to monitor filtration performance and water usage automatically, initiating a backwash cycle to flush out trapped microplastics and refresh the media when needed, ensuring continuous protection without manual intervention.

Q? Will this system affect water pressure in my home?
A No. The whole-house tank and advanced control valve are designed to maintain steady water flow and pressure, even while filtering out microscopic plastic particles, so you enjoy clean water without sacrificing performance.

Q? Can this system remove all sizes of microplastics?
A The sub-micron catalytic carbon media targets microplastics down to sub-micron sizes, effectively capturing the vast majority of these particles along with organic compounds, far beyond what conventional filters can handle.
