The 20" x 2.5" Sediment Filter is often the first filter installed in the Whole House Water Filter circuit. It is often the first point of contact between your water supply and your home and is used as a pre-filtration unit before the water continues to reverse osmosis and activated carbon filters. It catches unwanted particles, including sand, dirt, silt, rust, and other fine particles as they attempt to enter your house's water system. These particles and pollutants come from water sources, old and dirty pipes, as well as contaminants that are used to treat the water.

These filters are made of fine-melted polypropylene that are blown and spun into cylinder-like form. Removal of these particles allows filters, such as Carbon Block or GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) filters, as well as household water appliances like boilers, ice-makers, and many more, to perform better for longer periods of time.

A Sediment Water Filter removes the physical debris and impurities from your water. The sediment filter has tiny holes which water is able to pass, however the unwanted particles are not. As these particles come in different sizes, so do the filters. The filter sizes are measured in microns, the smaller the micron measurement, the smaller the holes in the filter, allowing to hold back the smallest of particles. Generally, for water that is more visibly polluted, containing larger particles, a sediment filter of a larger size is recommended in the first stage of installation to prevent the clogging of the next stage of filters.

The main difference between a regular Sediment 10"x 2.5" Filter and a 20"x 2.5" Sediment Filter is the size, a 20"x 2.5" Sediment Filter is usually used for filtering the water on the entrance into the house, appropriately called whole house filter. It is able to filter a larger volume of water than a regular filter with its larger surface area, size, and radius.

These Sediment Water Filters Intercept all Following Impurities Extraordinary Dirt-Holding Capacity. Superior contaminant holding capacity and superior flow rate compared to similar size sediment water filter cartridges. These cartridges will reduce sediment particles as small as 10 microns without adding taste, odor, or color to your water. Such filter cartridges are ideal for all residential, rural, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
