WHAT IS A SEDIMENT FILTER?
A sediment filter`s main purpose is to remove particulates from water. It is rated by a micron number which refers to the size of the particles that the filter will trap. These are often required as a pre-treatment for other types of treatment such as reverse osmosis, ultraviolet disinfection and carbon filtration. Keep in mind that sediment filters only reduce particulates. They do not remove chemicals or make the water taste/smell better.
