When sediment from your well pump starts infiltrating your home's water supply, you notice more than just cloudy water. Grit scratches your faucets, sand clogs your appliances, and that persistent roughness in your water reduces comfort for your entire family. Over time, untreated sediment accelerates costly repairs and replacements, silently driving up maintenance bills while jeopardizing your household’s health and plumbing integrity.

How the media works

The secret to superior sediment filtration lies in the Turbidex graded filtration media embedded within the tank. This carefully calibrated media consists of layered particles varying in size, crafted specifically to trap the sand, grit, and sediment your well pump draws in. As water flows through the media bed, sediment particles are caught and held firm, preventing them from passing into your plumbing or appliances. When the media reaches capacity, the Fleck 5600 SXT control valve initiates a backwash cycle, flushing trapped sediment to drain and restoring the media’s filtering power. This cycle repeats automatically, ensuring your system maintains peak effectiveness without you lifting a finger.
