Sediment Filters
Sediment filters remove sand, silt and grit. They are often a pre-filter that protects downstream equipment rather than a complete treatment solution.
What to look for
- Micron rating appropriate to your particle size
- Spin-down vs. cartridge design for your sediment load
- Flow capacity so pressure is maintained
Certifications to check
| Standard | What it covers |
|---|---|
| NSF/ANSI 42 | Particulate (mechanical) reduction class |
Certification is specific to a model and claim. Verify the exact contaminant on the unit’s data sheet or the certifier’s database.
Limitations
- Sediment filters do not remove dissolved contaminants, bacteria, or odors.
- Heavy or persistent sediment may indicate a well/pump problem to inspect.
