Frequent filter clogging from well sediment after pump replacement causes repeated water pressure drops and requires constant filter changes.

No easy way to clean or reuse sediment filters; homeowner is unsure whether to clean or replace, wasting money and time on frequent filter changes.

Key Features
  • Automatic backwash cycle triggered by pressure differential or timer
  • Reusable filter element with easy cleaning (no replacement cartridges)
  • Real-time pressure monitoring & mobile alerts when rinse cycle needed
  • Simple DIY installation compatible with standard well systems
Target Users: Homeowners with sediment-prone wells who are tired of frequent filter changes and water pressure drops
Revenue Model: $199–$299 one-time purchase for the unit, plus $19/year for replacement seal kits
