WELL WATER SEDIMENT FILTERS

Well Water sediment filters are used to remove dirt, sand, grit and turbidity from your water source. Water from an underground source, stream or collection system can have many types of sediment that should be filtered from the water before entering your home or irrigation system.  Sediment filters are of three general styles: Wound (string) filters; Polypropylene filters and Pleated Filters. Well water sediment filters are generally heavy duty filters either 4.5" x 10" or 4.5 x 20"

Polyester pleated sediment filters are the most popular, in either 5 microns, 30 microns or 50 microns.  Pleated polyester filters have the highest holding capacity and can be rinsed and used a second time before needing to be replaced.  They are best in situations with higher amounts of dirt and sand.

Polypropylene Duel Gradient filters have a higher micron rating in the outer layers and a lower micron rating at the core.  These filters do an excellent job removing grit, turbidity and discoloration from your water supply.

Stringwound filters do a good job of removing all sediment from the water source and have a high holding capacity but generally don't last as long as pleated polyester in instances of higher concentration of sand and dirt. They are the same micron rating throughout, so they can be less versitile than the duel gradient filters.
