Sediment Filter Cartridges

What Are Sediment Filter Cartridges?

Sediment filter cartridges are specialized filtration components designed to remove physical particles from your water supply. These particles can include:

• Sand and silt
• Rust particles
• Dirt and debris
• Sediment from older pipes
• Turbidity-causing particles

Unlike chemical filters that address taste, odour, or specific contaminants, sediment filters work mechanically to trap physical matter through various filtration media. They play a crucial role as a pre-filter in most comprehensive water filtration systems, extending the life of your entire system.

How Sediment Filter Cartridges Work?

These sediment filters use a mechanical process to remove contaminants from the water supply, trapping particles within their inner core. They work by trapping particles as they move through the filter media, preventing them from getting into your home’s plumbing system.

The most common type is a pleated sediment filter, which has multiple layers of pleated material to capture particles as they pass through. These filters have a variety of cartridge micron ratings that determine their ability to remove different types and sizes of particles. Sediment cartridges can also be used in combination with other types of filters to improve the effectiveness of water quality and filtration.
