How is this at filtering sediment, especially in regards to dry-hopping?

It doesn't filter, other then the small cap on the bottom of the siphon that keeps the tube off the bottom of the carboy. Any suspended sediment will go through the tube. I start high in carboy and slowly lower the suction tube as the level drops. Works very well.

The siphon bottom opening sits about 1 inch off the bottom of your carboy or bucket. I've found this adequate even with dry hopping. Just be very careful not to disturb your beer when or if moving it prior to the transfer. As noted by the other answer, it does not filter.

purifier. works best if you let sediments settle out overnight if the water is very silty.

I have only installed this filter a few weeks ago, looking at the glass it removes a lot of sediment,I have a well. So far so good, I am happy with this filter,I would recommend it to a friend.

I'm having no issues with the filtering speed. It may slow down with time but a fresh one filters a cup's-worth of water in no time.

Like the customer Stan answered, I use a washable filter that filters the coarse particles. The three-sock inner filter catches the fine stuff. I put that over a garbage barrel about once a year and tap the waste into the barrel.

I use the regular auto drip setting. I fine bit of sediment gets through but that doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you might try a coarser grind.

They are awesome in pre-filtering floating surface silt... worth every penny as it saves the dirt getting to the main filter system. Buy them and use them. I find putting a small rock in the basket helps to hold the basket down in the hole.

Mine cleared in just about a day, a lot of the foamy sludge ended up in the filter which I cleaned twice in that time period.other than that the sand had been great,can't wait to fill my 90 gallon.

It uses a gravel tray as the intake, so any kind of filter media should work fine (I used a green dish scrubber)

The area where the debris gets collected and stored is not very large and I have found that large leaves tend to get stuck in the intake slot. My pool doesn't get a lot of leaves, mainly smaller junk like redwood needles, so it's not a huge issue for me. They do sell special "clean up" filters that work a bit better when you have more leaves, but those are only for occasional use.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

i use it in my splash superpool (look it up if interested) with same style cleaner and really recommend it - it keeps the crap out of your filter. might want to monitor it to "burp" the air out of the system every once in awhile. there's a good video for it on youtube.

if you have an above ground/ standard depth, yes - should be fine; it's a great filter - worth every penny.

Since we use the local water supply we do not have sediment in our water, so I can't answer that part of the question. Our water is chlorinated and the filter takes out all odor of that or any other chemicals. We are very pleased with this product.

it can be used dry, however, it's a good idea to rinse it heavily to get the residue off of the media. If not there will be a film on your pond water that your filter will have to eliminate.

I have a sand filter and have not experienced any problem. Filter pressure has not been an issue and I backwash no more frequently than before using this product.

I like it, it does a good job. I never pour to the last drop so if there is sediment in the bottom, it stays there. The thinner the grind, the more chance you have for sediments.
