Under the Stainless Steel Covers of the High Performance
Twin and Triple Whole House Systems
Those on mains water usually don’t get that much visible sediment (as compared to those on tank water, for example), however, ultra-fine particles (i.e. particles that are smaller than 100 micron, the width of a human hair) can clog up your carbon filters much quicker than anticipated and reduce your water pressure. The issue of elevated sediment is especially prevalent if you live in an area with known water quality issues, or if there is an influx of sediment, for example, due to public works, flooding and drought, which are all common causes of elevated Total Suspended Solids levels in mains water. So, whilst Carbon filters do block sediment and it is possible to run a Dual Carbon system, please consider whether a Triple Filter System with a Sediment Pre-Filter and Dual Carbon set-up is more suitable for your water conditions.
