Add-On Protection

Stop Dirt, Sand & Rust
Before They Enter Your Home.

The first line of defense โ€” protecting your softener, RO system, and plumbing from sediment damage.

Salem Water Solutions pre-sediment filter housing units

What It Does

The pre-sediment filter is installed at the main water entry point โ€” before your softener and any other treatment equipment. It catches particulate matter so it never reaches your treatment system or plumbing.

This is especially important for homes on well water, older homes with corroded pipes, or homes in areas with known sediment issues. Think of it as the first line of defense for your entire water system.

What It Catches

Dirt and sand
Rust and iron particles
Pipe scale and debris
Silt and clay

Why It Matters

Extends softening resin life by 30โ€“50%

Sediment clogs and degrades resin beads over time. A pre-filter keeps them clean and effective.

Protects your RO membrane

Sediment is the #1 cause of premature RO membrane failure. A pre-filter prevents costly replacements.

Prevents water heater sediment

Sediment settling in your water heater reduces efficiency and shortens its lifespan.

Improves overall water clarity

Cleaner water throughout the home from every tap.
