Whole house filtration is designed to protect your investment and aid in the performance of your water softener. It is installed before your unit to prevent sediment from entering your softener, saving you from costly repairs. Sediment that enters your softener can cause service issues by filling ports, impeding gear movement, scoring or marring internal components, and clogging media beds. Preventative maintenance on your pre-filter can save you time, money, and headaches if performed on a regular basis.
We recommend changing your pre-filter every 3 months.
There are different types of pre-filters based on age of your unit and/or application of equipment. To change any pre-filter you would follow the same basic steps.
