DEW PURE Sediment filter candle 9 inch with Spanner Key Solid Filter Cartridge(5, Pack of 5)

Description

The sediment filter is the first line of defense against dirt and debris. It prohibits all this solid particulate matter from entering your water supply and impeding the performance of your water filtration systems. Sediment also prevents filtration systems like reverse osmosis and ultraviolet purification from operating efficiently. Sediment filters keep your water clear and are an integral component of the water filtration process. A sediment filter captures and removes particulate matter like dirt and debris from your water. Sediment filters also remove turbidity from water. Turbidity is the cloudiness caused in water by the heavy presence of suspended solids. This causes water to turn yellow, orange, or brown. Sediment filters do not remove chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, or dissolved particulate matter. They do not improve the taste or smell of water. They are primarily a defensive and preservative filtration method. Sediment filters are most effective when serving as prefilters for other filtration systems.
