Nelsen's three-cycle valve sequences the service, backwash, and rinse stages so the system stays effective with minimal hands-on attention, which keeps day-to-day maintenance light for the homeowner once the unit is configured and running. Because the cleaning is automatic, the filter largely takes care of itself between media changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it ships without media, you decide what the filter does. Carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor, sediment media addresses turbidity, and specialty media can target iron and pH issues, so the same hardware can be configured for a wide range of water problems. Match the media to the 12x48 tank, program the valve for your water conditions and usage, and provide a suitable drain for the backwash discharge. Getting the cycle timing and drain sizing right is what ensures long, reliable performance. At roughly 54 lbs, this parcel-friendly unit is an easy-to-receive base for a tailored whole-house filtration system that fits both your water and your installation, well suited to average and larger homes that need solid filtration capacity. Convenient to receive and ready to customize, this parcel-friendly 12x48 unit makes whole-house filtration approachable for average and larger homes alike. The parcel packaging keeps receiving simple even for a substantial whole-house unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nelsen Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668839686197,"sku":"NWS-AFB-12-UPS","price":1151.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/nws-10bf-00_03af3b3d-baa2-403c-a8e2-e534c6a5804e.jpg?v=1782679270","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/th-as\/products\/nws-12x48-filter-unit-w-bypass-1","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
