Whole House Sediment Filter

Home / Whole House Sediment Filter

Description

When the results from a comprehensive water quality test show that your well water has sediment or high turbidity, a Sediment Filter System for the whole house may be recommended to reduce/eliminate the dirt, sediment, sand or other large particles from your drinking water. One of the challenges in treating turbid water is that all of the different particles have different sizes, so filters are made with various micron ratings to indicate the size of particles that it will trap.

Sediment filters are physical filters, meaning that they don’t do anything to the particles in the water; they cannot remove chemicals, dissolved metals, pesticides or other contaminants – they simply prevent them from passing through the filter. Sediment filters are rated in microns, another word for micrometers, and the smaller the micron rating, the smaller the size of particles the filter can trap. For comparison purposes, a human hair is about 100 microns wide. Whole house sediment filters are available in a range of sizes, from 50 microns down to 1 micron or less.

This service includes both the whole house Sediment Filter System and the installation.

Why Remove Sediment from Your Well Water? 

While mostly an inconvenience, sediment in your water can eventually wear out your equipment leading to pump failure and the need for replacement. However, contaminants like viruses and pathogenic bacteria can attach themselves to suspended solids, increasing the risk of illness. Sediment filters are designed to remove suspended solids, which are also known as sediment, turbidity, or particulates. A sediment filter essentially functions like a net that catches unwanted particles as your water flows through the system.

Sediment filters are common in many homes, but they have limited function. Only sediment that is in suspension will become trapped. Trace pathogen elements, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds can still remain in your water.

What Others Are Saying

review rating 5  My husband Steve and I decided to give SafeWell a call after looking to buy a home that has a well. They were highly recommended by Warren Home Inspections and we now totally understand why. Everyone we dealt with was extremely friendly, professional and most importantly extremely knowledgeable. We were a little skeptical about buying a house with a well since we knew absolutely nothing about well water, but after meeting with SafeWell and all their positive feedback and testing we can honestly say we are super excited to have well water! With 2 small children and another on the way, SafeWell gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind knowing we will have some of the best water we could literally ever have. Thank you SafeWell!

review rating 5  Jason, Ryan and Dan helped us solve a nearly year long issue with smelly water- solving what 3 plumbers couldn’t. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with their service. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for well/water assistance.

review rating 5  Everyone at Safewell that I have worked with has been great. They are prompt, professional and follow through on every matter whether big or small. They take the time to explain things fully and I feel they have my best interests in mind. While I haven't always liked hearing what they found in their testing, they always have helped to resolve and mitigate in the best way possible.

review rating 5  Reached out to SafeWell to understand how to proceed after having a potable water well installed. They performed a water analysis and provided pragmatic recommendations that took into account current and future situations. Their network of providers they work with takes the guesswork out of who should be contacted for what and I found them highly professional right from the first interaction. I will be taking advantage of their expertise in the future and give them a 'highly valued' recommendation.
