POLYSPUN SEDIMENT

What is Sediment and Why Does It Matter?

Sediment refers to any particulate matter that can be transported by fluid flow and eventually settles as a layer of solid particles at the bottom of a body of liquid. In a water treatment context, sedimentation is the process where suspended materials settle out of the water due to gravity.

In a water plant, sediment may include rust flakes from pipes, sand grains, organic debris, clay particles, or any other small particles present in the water supply. Water with high sediment levels can negatively impact the taste, clarity, and overall aesthetic quality of the final product. Moreover, excessive sediment can harm equipment by causing blockages in strainers, flow controls, and solenoid valves.

The Role of Sediment Filters

A sediment filter functions like a sieve, physically removing these particles from the water. It’s important to note that sediment filters are specifically designed to reduce physical particles—they do not remove chemicals, heavy metals, or improve the taste or smell of water.
