The purpose of sediment filter is to remove suspended solids. They are also called turbidity, sediment, and mud. A sediment filter is a net that captures unwanted dirt particles while your water flows through it.
The point at which water enters your house is where a sediment filter will be attached. The filter’s bed is composed of natural media like anthracite, sand, and so forth. The filter traps unwanted dirt particles as water passes through it. Water moves through the filter and leaves behind the sediment. Once the water has passed through the filter, it flows out of the filter. It ensures that water comes into your home without mud.
The sediment filter removes physical impurities and other contaminants from your water. The sediment filter is made with tiny holes that allow water to pass through, but the unwanted particles cannot. These particles are of different sizes so that filters can be adjusted accordingly. Filter sizes are measured in microns. The smaller the measurement in microns, then the smaller holes in the filter. This allows for the filter to retain the smallest particles. Therefore, a sediment filter with a larger size, such as 5 micron, is recommended for water that has more visible particles and is less likely to clog the next stage.

FAQ
Q. What is a Sediment filter ?
Sediment filters remove suspended particles such as dirt particles, sand and rust from water as it flows through the system.
Sediment filter cartridges can be made from polypropylene and polyester and cellulose, ceramics, glass fibers, cotton, and wound strings. These are the two main types:
Pleated Sdiment Filter
Pleated sediment filters which capture particles on the surface. It covers a larger area than the surface and should be replaced as soon as it is filled.
You can wash and reuse a high-quality pleated sediment cartridge filter cartridge. A pleated sediment filter 5 microns in size can capture 85% of particles 5 micron and larger.
Wound string Sdiment Filter
They can capture larger particles at the surface and smaller particles below the surface that are carried to the core. A 5 micron spun filter traps 99.9% of particles larger than 5 microns.
Q. Do I need a sediment filter?
The water softeners are made up of fine moving parts which can be scratched by sediment. A sediment filter is designed to trap dirt, silt, and other particulates from your water. A sediment prefilter installed inline should be placed near the point where water service lines enter the house.
Protection for Reverse Osmosis System. Membranes on a reverse-osmosis system can easily be clogged by sediment. This is why it’s important to have inexpensive sediment filters. They protect the RO membranes against fouling and prolong the life of the entire reverse osmosis system. The sediment filter is one stage in a multi-stage system of reverse osmosis
Q. How often should my sediment filter be replaced?
The type and quality of your water will dictate how often sediment filters are replaced. However, generally speaking, sediment filters should be replaced every three months.
