Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does a sediment filter do in hard water?
A Sediment Filter removes physical impurities like mud, sand, and rust — protecting your taps, filters, and appliances.
-
Will a sediment filter improve pressure in hard water?
If your pressure was low due to clogged pipes or a choked shower head, yes — removing dirt significantly improves flow. But it won’t boost pressure beyond the supply limit.
-
Does a sediment filter help protect geysers and washing machines?
Yes. Hard water brings rust and grit, which damage heating coils, inlet pipes, and internal valves. A sediment filter helps appliances last longer.
-
How often should I replace the sediment cartridge?
Heavy dirt areas: every 2–3 months. Moderate areas: every 4–6 months. A quick look at the cartridge colour gives a good indication.
