Is There Sediment in Your Water?
Sediment is a natural occurrence, but it shouldn’t be in your water. In most cases, the look of your water is the first sign, the turbidity, or cloudiness, level indicates how much sediment is present. Sediment comes from soil runoff and can affect the taste and quality of your water, making it unpleasant to serve to your family, guests, or customers.
More importantly, it can lead to harmful health-related issues when consumed over time.
The solution is proper sediment filtration. A sediment water filter removes these particles before they reach your taps, improving the look and flavor of your water while reducing the health risks sediment can carry.
Metro Water Filter of the South makes this simple with a complimentary water diagnosis and professional installation, backed by more than 50 years of experience serving households, commercial buildings, and entire communities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have sediment in my water?
Cloudy or discolored water is the most common sign of sediment. You may also notice reduced water pressure, clogged pipes, or appliances wearing out faster than expected. A free water diagnosis from Metro Water Filter of the South can confirm sediment levels in your supply.
How often should a sediment filter be replaced?
Depending on your water quality, the sediment filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. We also recommend annual professional inspections to keep the system running at maximum efficiency.
What micron rating do I need for a sediment filter?
The right micron rating depends on the amount and type of sediment in your water supply, along with how sensitive your plumbing and appliances are. Our team determines the correct rating for your system during your free water diagnosis.
Can a sediment filter be used with well water?
Yes. Sediment filters are commonly used as part of a well water treatment system, since well water often carries higher sediment levels than municipal supplies. Our technicians can evaluate your well water and recommend the right filtration setup.
