How Does The North Star Whole Home Automatic Sediment Filter Work?

The EcoPure® Automatic Sediment Filter (ASF) is a revolutionary system that filters the water for your entire home and even cleans its own filter. With the ASF there are no filters to replace and it doesn’t interrupt or diminish your water pressure. By filtering sediment from all your water, other appliances like your water softener, water heater, washing machine and dishwasher will perform better and last longer.

The EcoPure Automatic Sediment Filter is designed to be plumbed into a home’s incoming water supply pipe, where it will capture particles of sediment from the water and periodically flush them down the drain. The unit has an electronic control that counts down the days until the next automatic flush of collected sediment particles. The number of days is programmable. The electronic controller runs on a 9 volt battery. The controller will indicate when the battery needs to be replaced. An optional AC power adaptor (7302835) may also be purchased to eliminate the need for batteries. Three sizes of filter mesh are available. A 60 micron filter is included with the ASF unit, and optional 100 (7298816) or 150 (7298824) micron filters can also be purchased.

NOTE: This product is designed to reduce sand, grit, debris, pipe scale and other loose matter. On water supplies that contain sticky sediment including mud, silt and clay, you may have to remove the sump and clean the screen frequently.
