Wound String Sediment filters are made of fine melted of 100% polypropylene rope, which is then twisted around plastic core in a cylinder. Such design aloud better dirt holding capacity, high filtration accuracy and extended life than standard melt-blown sediment cartridge it have 30% longer service life than common sediment filters. 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. String-wound filter cartridges provide a very efficient and cost effective solution. Some of the benefits are: New melt-spinning and yarn forming process—no chemicals to leach out, Continuous filaments—no short fibers means no media migration, High structural stability—no shifting of media, excellent knife-edge sealing, Random yarn structure—gives improved filtration efficiency, Higher void-to-solid ratio—more bulky yarn gives increased dirt holding capacity, Lower pressure drop—liquid flows through the entire yarn structure, Firmer structure—gives improved resistance to particle unloading, Better performance—from more consistent micron rating Computer-controlled winding—gives clear density grading inside to outside as strands are wound. These Sediment Water Filters Intercept all Following Impurities Rust & Corrosion- Rust is a type of corrosion. Corrosion is the process by which certain materials, metals and non-metals, deteriorate as a result of oxidation. Rusting is oxidation of iron in the presence of air and moisture. … Corrosion requires surface exposure to air or chemicals Coarse Sand is our concrete sand that is washed and screened to a larger grit than our Fine Washed Sand (masonry sand). Coarse Sand is used with aggregate, water, and cement in the production of ready-mix concrete. Hard Scale causes a variety of problems in the home. Stains are probably the most noticeable result of hard water scale. Stains appear in toilets, sinks, and showers. Some hardwater scale are less noticeable, such as scale build up in pipes and in appliances which can cause costly repairs or the need to replace appliances. Fine Sand is very fine, screened sand that is typically tan in color. This type of sand is commonly used as base sand for above ground swimming pools, paving stones, sidewalk blocks and retaining walls. It is alternately used in stucco and cement applications. Particles is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties, such as volume, density, or mass. They vary greatly in size or quantity, from subatomic particles like the electron, to microscopic particles like atoms and molecules, to macroscopic particles like powders and other granular materials. Particles can also be used to create scientific models of even larger objects depending on their density, such as humans moving in a crowd or celestial bodies in motion. Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles. For example, sand and silt can be carried in suspension in river water and on reaching the sea bed deposited by sedimentation; if buried, they may eventually become sandstone and siltstone (sedimentary rocks) through lithification. Sediments are most often transported by water (fluvial processes), but also wind (aeolian processes) and glaciers. Beach sands and river channel deposits are examples of fluvial transport and deposition, though sediment also often settles out of slow-moving or standing water in lakes and oceans. Desert sand dunes and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition. Glacial moraine deposits and till are ice-transported sediments. Dirt is unclean matter, especially when in contact with a person’s clothes, skin or possessions. Common types of dirt include: Dust: a general powder of organic or mineral matter; Filth: foul matter such as excrement; Grime: a black, ingrained dust such as soot; Soil: the mix of clay, sand, and humus which lies on top of bedrock. Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz & feldspar. Silt may occur as a soil or as sediment mixed in suspension with water and soil in a body of water such as a river. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body, like mudflows from landslides. Silt has a moderate specific area with a typically non-sticky, plastic feel. Silt usually has a floury feel when dry, and a slippery feel when wet. Silt can be visually observed with a hand lens, exhibiting a sparkly appearance. It also can be felt by the tongue as granular when placed on the front teeth (even when mixed with clay particles). These universal filters are 2.5 x 10-inch.

Sediment water filter cartridge usually used as a pre-filter in the Counter-top Water Filter System to optimize performers and life span of the carbon or GAC filters. Extraordinary Dirt-Holding Capacity Superior contaminant holding capacity and superior flow rate compared to similar size sediment water filter cartridges. These cartridges will reduce sediment particles as small as 5 microns without adding taste, odor, or color to your water. Such filter cartridges are ideal for all residential, rural, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
