 A filter is a filter, right?
Nope, there are various types of water filters, sizes, and micron ratings for each filter. The quality of water and your water system will determine which filter is best for you and your family. Sediment filters remove dirt, debris, and even microscopic particles from your water. The pore size of filter cartridge is measured in microns, i.e. 5, 10, 20, etc. The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed. Sizing of micron filters depends upon the smallest particle that needs filtering from your water. Smaller micron may not always be the better option because the smaller rating may immensely impact the water flow (pressure), need to be changed more often, and cost more in the long run. Along with micron rating is the special importance of the type of filters. Some of the most common ones are: melt blown, string, and carbon. Melt blown filters contain a fixed pore structure - the polypropylene fibers do not separate and ensure trapped contaminant particles do not come into your house water. String filters capture large particles and can separate which allows smaller particles to come into your house water. Carbon cartridge filters are effective toward keeping out chemicals and odors from coming into your house water but cost more, often times aren't necessary, or there is a better long-run alternative.

 Sand or sediment in your water can cause serious issues of deteriorating your fixtures and appliances and will also decrease your water pressure.
The sand and sediment may cause pipes and aerators to clog up and could result in pressure loss in your home. The fixtures in your home, including sink faucets and shower heads, as well as your washing machine, etc. will wear out ahead of time and could cost you thousands of dollars. The sandtrap is a unique way to separate and trap heavier sand and particles to prevent them from getting into your home. Contact us today or call (804) 693-7294 if you'd like to set up an appointment for a free estimate and/or get more information on a sandtrap. |
