What a sediment filter?
In the presence of various kinds of sediments or suspended particles, a sediment filter serves as a protective barrier. Physical pollutants such as dust, dirt, sand, silt, clay, and other solid particles are sieved or held back by the filter.
A sediment filter is a type of water filter that is designed to remove solid particles, such as dirt, sand, and rust, from your water supply. These particles, also known as sediment, can be harmful to your plumbing system and can affect the taste and appearance of your water. These filters are typically installed in a water filtration system, such as a whole-house filter or a point-of-use filter. A sediment filter can help protect your plumbing by removing particles before they damage your pipes and appliances. You don't want sediment to reach your faucets and appliances. With one of these filters, you can be sure that your pipes are as protected as they can be from erosion due to sediment.
How often should you change a sediment filter?
every six to nine months.
You should replace your water filter every six to nine months, depending on the quality of the water in your region. To be sure, if you see that the water flow has slowed or that the color has darkened, make the necessary changes as soon as you can.
