The Crystal Quest Turbidity Whole House Water Filter is a point-of-entry filtration system designed to reduce turbidity, sediment, and suspended matter from incoming household water. This system uses a natural mineral tank with ERA 6500 & 9500 media and is described as reducing suspended solids typically in the 5-20 micron range. It is available with 1.5 cubic feet or 2.0 cubic feet of filter media, with listed service flow rates of 9-11 GPM and 10-13 GPM depending on the selected size. Configuration options include standalone turbidity filtration, turbidity filtration with SMART Filter, turbidity filtration with softener, or turbidity filtration with both SMART Filter and softener. Tank structure options include stainless steel or fiberglass; fiberglass may be a safer choice in high-humidity, salt-exposed, or condensation-prone settings where stainless tank maintenance may be difficult.
This Crystal Quest system is built for homes where incoming water has visible turbidity, sediment, or suspended matter concerns. Installed at the main line, it helps treat water before it reaches fixtures throughout the home.
Water flows through a natural mineral tank with ERA 6500 & 9500 media designed to reduce suspended matter while allowing deeper sediment loading through the filter bed. Automatic backwash operation helps release trapped sediment and rinse the filter media during the backwash cycle.
The system includes a 20" sediment cartridge before the main tank to reduce sediment, silt, sand, and dirt. After the turbidity media tank, water flows through a 20" carbon block filter cartridge for additional post-filtration support.
Optional SMART Filter and water softener configurations allow the system to be tailored to tested water conditions and installation needs. These options should be selected based on water testing, household flow demand, and whether additional contaminant reduction or hardness treatment is needed.
This turbidity whole house water filter is designed for property owners who need a centralized system for sediment and suspended matter reduction. Choose the media volume, tank material, and configuration based on tested water conditions and household flow needs.
Optional add-ons such as SMART Filter support, a softener, UV sterilizer, leak detector valve, vacuum breaker, metered valve, and oxidation system help configure the setup around tested water conditions and installation needs.
