A sediment filter is essential for protecting your water filtration system and improving water quality, especially when using rainwater or tank water. It acts as the first line of defense by capturing and removing visible particles like dirt, sand, silt, and rust before they reach your main filter. This helps prevent clogging, extends the life of your primary filter (like the UltraStream), and ensures better overall performance. Sediment filters are particularly useful in areas where water contains higher levels of debris—such as from roof catchments, old pipework, or rural water sources—ensuring cleaner, clearer water for your home.
It can also be helpful in regions like South Australia, Western Australia, or even parts of Queensland, where municipal water can sometimes carry higher levels of sediment and impurities.
We recommend replacing the sediment pre-filter every 12 months, but this will depend on the condition of your drinking water. The sediment pre-filter can be cleaned to extend its life every 3-6 months. Use an old toothbrush to clean the pleats. Rinse and replace into the housing.
