What is the purpose of the Sediment Filters in water treatment?

The purpose of sediment filters in water treatment is to remove larger particles from the incoming water. These larger particles can include sand, silt, rust, and other debris that may be present in the water source. By effectively capturing these particles, sediment filters help prevent clogging and damage to downstream equipment, such as pumps and reverse osmosis systems, and improve the overall clarity and quality of the water.

This filtration process is crucial for protecting more sensitive components of the water treatment system and ensuring that the water is visually clear and free of particulates before it undergoes further treatment. Removing these larger particles also helps in maintaining the efficiency of subsequent filtration and treatment processes, as they are less likely to interfere with the mechanisms designed to target smaller contaminants.
