Whole House Sediment Filtration: The First Line of Defense.
Sediment in your water supply — including dirt, rust, sand, and other particles — can clog your pipes, damage your appliances, and reduce the lifespan of your water softener and other filtration systems. A whole house sediment filter is the essential first stage of any comprehensive water treatment system.
What Sediment Filters Remove
Sediment filters are designed to capture physical particles before they reach your plumbing and appliances:
- • Dirt and clay particles
- • Rust from aging pipes
- • Sand and silt
- • Scale flakes
- • Other suspended solids
Why Sediment Filtration Matters
Even if your primary concern is water hardness, a sediment pre-filter protects your water softener's resin bed from being fouled by particles. This extends the life of your softener and ensures it operates at peak efficiency. For homes on well water, sediment filtration is especially critical.
Filter Types and Maintenance
We install both spin-down and cartridge-style sediment filters. Cartridge filters are available in various micron ratings to target specific particle sizes. Most sediment filters need to be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on your water quality.
