CAS PREMIUM SEDIMENT FILTER

Sediment filters are designed to remove suspended solids, which are also known as sediment, turbidity, or particulate.  A sediment filter essentially functions like a net that catches unwanted dirt particles as your water flows through the system. A sediment filter is attached at the point where water comes into your home.  The filter has a bed of natural media (sand, anthracite, etc.).  As the water passes through this bed, unwanted dirt particles become trapped.  The water moves into the filter and leaves the sediment behind, then out of the filter so you get water coming into your home that is free from particulate. Sediment filters are very common in many homes, but they have a limited function. Only sediment that will become trapped in the bed of natural media is removed.  Trace pathogen elements, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds can still remain in your water.  However, in most cases, sediment filters do a good enough job to reduce the levels of unwanted particles to trace amounts which are deemed safe other filtering process in water purifier.
