Sand
and Grit
Sediment
Filters with Replaceable Cartridges
Flushable
filter strainers
Often what appears to be sand, is actually particulate of various materials.
Its important to properly identify the source or cause of the "sand"
in order to choose the right filter or system, or to decide if a filter
system is needed, since often the source of the particulate can be corrected.
Sometimes its necessary to
get an accurate
water analysis. You can also fill out an online
technical request form and one of our water technicians will assist
you in trying to identify the cause of the problem and recommend a solution.
Some of the more common causes
of sand or grit in water are:
- Sand, grit or
particles from improperly flushed pipelines after repairs by workmen.
- Decaying piping
and distribution systems
- Decaying water
heater liners and dip tubes
- Decaying storage
tank liners, pressure tanks, or pumping systems
- Iron or manganese
oxides (rust)
- Black ferric
sulfide after hydrogen sulfide odors
- Actual particles
from ground water such as silt or sand from improperly run or constructed
treatment plants, or non-treated water.
- Particles, sand,
grit or sediment from malfunctioning treatment plants
- Water softening
resin or other filter media from failed home treatment systems
