Description
The Washing Machine Inlet Filter is a small inline filter that connects between the water tap and the inlet hose of a washing machine or dishwasher. It traps sand, rust flakes and scale particles before they reach the machine’s inlet valve, pump and drum. Many models also contain scale-inhibiting media such as polyphosphate crystals to reduce limescale build-up on heating elements.
Why protect your washing machine?
In many Omani homes, water passes through rooftop tanks and old pipes that shed sand and rust. These particles can block the inlet valve screen, cause slow filling, damage seals and leave marks on white clothes. Hard water also leaves scale on heating elements, increasing energy use and shortening machine life. A Washing Machine Inlet Filter is an inexpensive way to protect an appliance that costs far more to repair or replace.

Installation
Turn off the tap, unscrew the inlet hose, screw the Washing Machine Inlet Filter onto the tap and reconnect the hose to the filter outlet. Turn the water back on and check for leaks. The whole job takes a few minutes.
Whole-house alternative
If sediment and scale affect every tap and appliance in your home, a whole-house sediment filter and water softener protect everything at once. See small filters in our shower and tap filters range. For background on hard water, see Wikipedia.
Frequently asked questions
Does it soften water? No. Polyphosphate inhibits scale formation but does not remove hardness like a softener.
Can I use it on a dishwasher? Yes, if the inlet uses a standard 3/4 inch thread.
