Sand Trap

The Sand Trap offers a clever, low-maintenance way to remove sand, shale, and oxidized organics from problem water supplies before they reach the rest of your treatment system. Water enters an internal swirl chamber and passes across a diverting plate, a design that uses centrifugal action and gravity to drop heavier particles to the bottom of the tank, where they collect for periodic blow down. It is a simple but effective approach to a stubborn and abrasive problem.

What makes the Sand Trap especially appealing is its simplicity. There are no moving parts to wear out, no filter cartridges to clean or replace, and no backwashing required, so it operates without electricity and with minimal ongoing attention. With a high flow rate of 65 GPM and 1-1/2" inlet and outlet connections, it handles substantial volume while protecting downstream pumps, valves, softeners, and filters from abrasive sediment that would otherwise erode and clog them.

• No moving parts and no cartridges to maintain
• No backwashing or electricity needed
• High flow rate of 65 GPM
• 1-1/2" inlet and outlet connections
• Internal swirl chamber and diverting plate separation
• 5-year warranty on tank and head assembly

Because sand and grit can quickly erode pump seals, foul valves, score fixtures, and clog distributor screens, removing them at the front of the system pays off across every component downstream and extends the life of your entire treatment train. The swirl-and-settle design keeps separation working continuously without any media to exhaust or replace, which is ideal for wells and surface supplies that carry persistent sediment. For worry-free operation, add the optional Auto Flush Valve to perform an automatic daily blow-down of accumulated sediment, eliminating the need to remember manual purging. Weighing about 96 lbs and backed by a 5-year warranty on the tank and head assembly, the Sand Trap from Water Softener Plus is a durable, hassle-free solution for sediment-heavy water.

Position the Sand Trap at the inlet of your treatment train, ahead of pumps, softeners, and filters, so it intercepts sediment before it can do any harm. With its maintenance-free operation and long warranty, it pays for itself quickly by sparing downstream equipment from the relentless wear that abrasive sand and grit would otherwise inflict.
