Sediment Filters

What it is Sediment Filters

Sediment is a generic term for all particulate matter in water that is not liquid. Sediment filters remove visible particulate matter, and any particles of dirt, sand, dust, and debris that can be caught by its micron-rated capacity. They are commonly used in water treatment systems to protect downstream equipment and improve water quality.

How it works

Filtration Mechanism

Water flows through the filter media, which can be made from various materials, such as polyester, polypropylene, or activated carbon. As the water passes through, larger particles are trapped in the filter while cleaner water continues to flow through.

Pore Size

Sediment filters typically come in different pore sizes, allowing them to capture particles of various sizes. Common pore sizes range from 1 to 100 microns, depending on the specific application.

Maintenance

Sediment filters need regular cleaning or replacement, depending on their design and the level of contaminants in the water. Some filters can be backwashed or cleaned, while others are disposable.
