Visible sediment isn’t something you want traveling through your plumbing or other water treatment equipment.
Sediment filtration can help protect faucets, fixtures, plumbing, appliances, and other water treatment equipment from unnecessary buildup and wear.
Depending on your water conditions, a sediment filter can be installed as a stand-alone solution or as part of a complete water treatment system.
1. What is a sediment water filter?
A sediment water filter is designed to remove physical particles from water before they travel through your home’s plumbing. Depending on the filter and water conditions, sediment filtration can help reduce sand, dirt, rust particles, suspended particles, and other visible sediment.
2. What does a sediment filter remove from water?
Sediment filters can help remove or reduce physical particles such as sand, dirt, rust particles, suspended solids, and visible sediment. The type and size of filter needed depends on the amount and type of sediment present in your water.
3. Why do I need a sediment filter for my well water?
Private well water can contain sand, dirt, rust particles, and other suspended sediment that can enter your home’s plumbing. A sediment filter can help keep these particles out of faucets, fixtures, appliances, and other water treatment equipment.
4. Can a sediment filter protect my water treatment equipment?
Yes. Removing sediment before it reaches other water treatment equipment can help reduce unnecessary buildup and wear. Sediment filtration is often used as a pre-treatment step to help protect systems such as water softeners, carbon filters, and other filtration equipment.
5. Do I need a whole-house sediment filter or an under-sink filter?
The right type of sediment filtration depends on where the sediment is coming from and how much needs to be removed. A whole-house sediment filter can treat water entering the home, while point-of-use filtration can target water at a specific faucet. Pristine Water can evaluate your water conditions and recommend the appropriate setup.
