SEDIMENT FILTRATION
WHAT IS SEDIMENT:
The sediment in our water systems is created by the silt, sand, rust, and clay that naturally occurs. These tiny particles can get washed into a system after heavy rainstorms which increases their volume with greater velocity and frequency than normal.
Sediment is made up of organic materials like silt, sand, or dirt that are usually found within the earth’s natural habitats but they also accumulate to an alarming degree when there has been a lot of rainfall due to washing them around at increased volumes from larger storms.
THE RISKS OF SEDIMENT:
Sediment in your water can ruin all of your appliances. The sediment that’s present in city or well water might end up clogging the systems, valves and fixtures throughout the entire house as well as any irrigation system you have installed on site due to its abundance. It could even destroy hot-water heaters for both private homes and businesses alike!
Sediment risks are about protecting the appliances in your home, for both overall function and efficiency. Without taking proactive steps against sediment in your water, you may incur costly repairs down the line to fix or replace fixtures and appliances that have become clogged or damaged. With sediments from soil particles being a major contributor of this issue, plumbing professionals recommend installing a sediment filtration system.
