Such design aloud better dirt holding capacity and extended life than standard melt-blown sediment cartridge. The main function of a sediment filter is to remove large and fine particles from a drinking water, such as sand, dirt, silt, and rust particles. Removal of such particles allows for a better performance of all the following filters, such as Carbon Block or GAC filters.
These particles and pollutants come from water sources, old and dirty pipes, as well as contaminants that are used to treat the water.
