Why do you need to change your 20-inch sediment water filter?

Sediment filters are designed to remove tiny particles, which can make a huge difference in the taste and clarity of your water. Replacing your sediment filter on a regular basis will help ensure that you always get the most out of your filter and will keep your water clean and clear.

What kind of contaminants are in my household water?

We recommend that you conduct a thorough household water quality test to find out what exactly is in your water. There are various types of contaminants that can be found in water including nitrates, chlorine, phosphates, lead, mercury, bacteria, and total dissolved solids (TDS).

Regardless of how your water is treated, these contaminants can be introduced from various sources including aging pipes, well water, and even runoff from nearby industries or agricultural operations. Levels of these contaminants may vary, but it is important to consider the impact that they can have on the health of those drinking or using the water in your home. To help protect your health and the quality of the water in your household, it is important to utilize a water filter and maintain proper water treatment methods.

How do I find the correct water filter(s) for my home?

Finding the correct water filters for your home can be challenging, but it does not have to be! First, you should figure out which type of water filter is best for your home. Sediment filters are designed with different materials to help ensure that you and your household are protected. The three main types of sediment filters are pleated, string wound, and melt-blown. Each type offers different benefits, so you will want to make sure that you select one that fits your unique needs.

You should also ensure that the filter is compatible with your home's plumbing. After making your choice, follow the installation instructions that come with the filter and then regularly replace the filter cartridges according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
