How it works
How does a sediment filter work?
Sediment filter traps and removes suspended matter such as sand, silt, loose scale, clay, debris, or organic material from the water, that can be caught by its micron-rated capacity.
- Hard water enters your home from a main water pipe or well and flows through the sediment filter.
- A sediment filter works through a process called mechanical filtration. Mechanical filtration blocks unwanted sediments from infiltrating your water supply. Sediment filters have a porosity that allows water to flow through them while capturing sand and dirt that the water is carrying.
- These filters also eliminate turbidity from water. Turbidity is the murkiness in water that causes it to turn orange, yellow or brown in color. A large number of suspended solids in the water can cause the color to change.
- Next, water flows to another water treatment system before flowing through the plumbing of your home.
DID YOU KNOW…
A sediment filter is the best of both worlds. On one end, it protects your appliances from corrosion, and on the other, it boosts the efficiency of other filters as a pre-filter. A sediment filter protects the lifespan of other water treatment systems like carbon filter, iron and odor filter, and a water softener. All these benefits you reap while keeping your costs at a minimum.
Features
- Sediment filters remove particles, dirt, and debris from your water, making it more pure and clean to drink.
- This type of filter helps to remove visible particles from your water, such as dirt, sand, dust, and turbidity, which is what makes water seem cloudy.
- Protects the lifespan of other water treatment systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size filter do I need?
Answer: Generally speaking, for household use the most appropriate filter is the 3/4” or 1” Screen or Sand Separator filter. Irrigation and other higher flow rate applications (>25 GPM) are best served by our 1.5” or 2” Screen or Sand Separator models.
Please remember that, as concerns filters, ‘bigger is not necessarily better’. You should select the smallest filter that corresponds to the flow rate, or GPM, of your system to guarantee more efficient filtration performance.
What mesh size should I select?
Answer: A good rule of thumb is to always select the coarsest mesh that will remove the type of sediment you are dealing with. Lower mesh numbers correspond to coarser mesh, and conversely, higher mesh numbers correspond to finer meshes. Please see this sediment chart to determine the recommended mesh size for your application.
I need to run more than 100 GPM. Can I do this?
Answer: Yes. Multiple Vu-Flow filters can be installed in parallel to allow for even greater flow rates.
What temperature ranges can Vu-Flow filters withstand?
Answer: Our cold water filters are rated to perform optimally up to 75° F and our hot water filters withstand up to 200° F.
