Unscrew the little screen on your faucet. See the grit packed in there? Pull your showerhead and look at the clogged nozzles. The toilet that runs for no reason. The washing machine taking longer to fill than it used to. That's sediment — sand, silt, and pipe scale riding in with your water, acting like sandpaper on fixture screens, valves, and seals a little more every day.
Where it hits.
- Faucets & showerheads — clogged aerators and nozzles, weak pressure, uneven spray.
- Toilets — grit wears out fill valves and flappers, causing phantom running and wasted water.
- Washing machine & dishwasher — inlet screens clog, pumps strain, and sediment bakes onto heating elements.
- Water heater — sediment settles in the tank, forcing the burner to heat through a layer of sludge. Higher bills, shorter life.
- Sinks, tubs & tile — combined with hard water, sediment plus soap scum builds a film that gets harder to remove every month.
New homeowners: protect the investment.
Sediment and hard-water scale are two of the fastest agers of a home's plumbing, and builder-grade faucets and water heaters feel it first. A whole-home filtration system starts with a sediment pre-filter that catches the grit before it enters your house — so every pipe, fixture, and appliance downstream deals with cleaner water, along with the carbon and softening stages that handle chlorine and hardness.
