Description

Micron filters remove dirt, debris, and even microscopic particles from water. The pore size of a filter cartridge is measured in microns. The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed. Which size micron filter you need depends on the size of the smallest particle that needs filtering from your water. A 5-micron filter, for example, removes particles as small as 5 microns. Anything smaller passes through the pores. Sediment filters are the most common type of micron filter. Sediment filters are similar to screen doors that allow air in and keep bugs out, except the debris blocked by the filter is microscopic.

Advantage of Sediment Filter

A sediment filter acts as a barrier against the different types of sediment (hence the name) and purifies them out of your water before it enters your home. It can capture dirt, sand, and other larger particles in its net, and, ultimately, adds to a clean and clearer-tasting water supply.
