Remove Sediment From Your City Water
Catch the sand, rust, and grit before it reaches your fixtures, appliances, and other filters.
Why this matters
Sediment is the sand, silt, and rust flakes that ride in from aging city mains, especially after repairs or hydrant flushing. It clogs aerators and valves, wears out appliance seals, and shortens the life of softeners and carbon filters downstream. A sediment filter protects everything after it.
Signs you might have this problem
- Gritty particles in the tub, sink, or kettle
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Clogged aerators and weak shower heads
- A drop in water pressure over time
- Rust flecks after work on the city main

Your recommendation
Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
City mains shed sand, silt, and rust that clog fixtures and wear out the systems downstream. A self-cleaning backwashing sediment filter captures that grit at the main line and rinses itself, so nothing else in the home has to fight it.
Our recommendation
Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
Based on your city water and the sediment you are dealing with, this is the system we recommend for your home.
Why we recommend it
- Captures sand, silt, and rust right where water enters the home
- Protects the softener, carbon filter, and every fixture downstream
- Self-cleaning, so there are no cartridges to buy or change
- App-monitored backwashing on an automatic schedule
- Sized to match your household flow and demand
Complete your water system
This handles a different job than sediment removal. If you also want a housing that adds a carbon stage for taste and odor alongside particulate filtration, the Dual-Stage Whole Home Filter combines both in one unit.
360 Dual-Stage Whole Home Filter
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line as the first stage of treatment, ahead of any softener or carbon filter. Cartridge models need a new cartridge every few months depending on load. The backwashing model rinses itself and needs no cartridges. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the sediment filter go?
First, at the point of entry, before the softener and carbon filter, so it protects them from grit.
Cartridge or self-cleaning?
Cartridges are the lowest cost up front. The self-cleaning backwashing model costs more but eliminates cartridge changes, which is worth it if your water carries a lot of sediment.
Will it help my water pressure?
It protects pressure by keeping grit out of fixtures and valves. A clogged cartridge left too long can reduce pressure, which is why the smart and self-cleaning options help.
