Sediment + Double Coconut Carbon | Customisable Triple 20" x 4.5" Big Blue Whole House Water Filter Cartridge Replacement Pack

Sediment Filters

• Choose from pleated (washable) or polyspun (disposable) sediment filters. 
• 5 Micron is well suited for mains/town treated water and high-quality tank/bore** water.
• 20 Micron will help prevent the majority of sediment from passing through without compromising water pressure.

Tank and bore** water are often contaminated with sticks, leaves, and rock sediment. However, you'd be surprised just how much sediment - such as sand, dirt, clay, silt, and even rust particles - can make its way through municipal water supplies and into your home! In some cases, finely dissolved matter can even cause visible discolouration, build up and staining, along with a foul taste and odour - and even a gritty texture in some rare cases! Installing a sediment filter also filter helps protect your pipes and pump from getting clogged, and can also help to protect your carbon filters from getting blocked up with ultra-fine silt. When it comes to which size micron rating to choose, the rule of thumb is: smaller the micron rating, the finer the level of filtration.
