Sediment Filtration
Sediment Filtration in Centennial
Grit and rust protection for wells around Foxfield and older homes near Littleton and Englewood.
Why sediment filtration comes first
Sediment filtration in Centennial protects everything downstream. On private wells, sand and silt arrive whenever the pump draws hard. In older houses near Littleton and Englewood, galvanized service lines shed rust flakes that clog aerators and toilet fill valves. After water main work, utility water can carry grit for a while too.
A sediment filter is the cheapest stage in any system and the one that saves the most money. It keeps carbon beds from clogging, softener valves from scoring and RO membranes from fouling. We choose between a flushable spin-down screen and pleated or spun cartridges based on what is in your water and how much of it there is.
Sediment problems also show up as symptoms people do not connect to the water. Dishwasher and washing machine inlet screens clog. Toilet fill valves run on. Shower pressure drops in one bathroom but not another. If any of that sounds familiar, a sediment filter ahead of everything else is a small fix worth checking before you replace an appliance or call a plumber about a valve.
On a new well or after pump work, expect more sediment for the first few weeks; we set the filter up so it is easy to flush often during that stretch.
What sediment protection includes
Right-sized filters in the right place, so they keep working.
-
Particle check
We look at what is collecting in aerators and toilet tanks and, on wells, run a turbidity reading.
-
Spin-down screen
A clear, flushable bowl that lets you see and dump sand in seconds.
-
Cartridge housing
Big-blue housings for whole-house flow, with pleated cartridges you can rinse or spun ones you replace.
-
Micron selection
Coarse first, finer second where needed, so one filter does not clog every week.
-
Pressure gauges
Before and after the filter, so you can see when it is loading.
-
Bypass
Swap a cartridge without shutting off the house.
-
Mounting bracket
Housings supported on the wall, not hanging on the pipe.
-
Change schedule
A written estimate of change intervals based on what we saw.
Usually done in one visit
-
Look at the problem
We check aerators, toilet tanks and the main line, and on wells take a turbidity reading.
-

How to flush the screen, how to read the gauges, and when to change the cartridge.
