does this filter iron &amp; sediment?

It will filter sediment but iron may need a water softener and then only they are limited as to how much is filtered.

No, I do not think that this filter will remove any significant amount of minerals dissolved in the water; nor does it "purify" water.

Yes, but not the pebbles below. You use less filterglass (by weight) than sand - as I recall 20% less.

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.

Alex,I installed the pre-filter. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem and even with the pre-filter the main filters clogged up in about three weeks. I live in NYC and our water is consistently rated very highly. I've never heard that it is high in sediments. I was happy with the old filters for a few years and was on the Water for Life program. After my recent experiences I cancelled WFL and am searching for a non-Aquasana replacement system.

Yes, that is recommended if you have high iron and this will take care of any residual left in your water. Install this unit inline after your iron filter. Let me know if you have any other questions. AFW Filters 785-735-9769

If you have really high iron, higher than 5-6 ppm, then you should use a separate iron filter in line first. The air injection platinum iron filter or filox iron filter, followed by a water softener. Visit afwfilters for more info on those. Mark 785-735-9769

Yes a sediment filter, but of the same size 5 micron. The idea is that the sediment filter's job is to get the "junk" out it's a physical barrier, the carbon filters are there to deal with chemically removing stuff from water not physically blocking. If you go with a large sized filter before you're going to let through things that are less than 20 microns and those will end up clogging these carbon filters since they will then become your physical barrier for stuff larger than 5micron.

It does not. You can choose two types of filters to purchase - one that just filters sediment and one for chlorine. We purchase our charcoal chlorine filter for this housing on Amazon for a reasonable price.

No, it will not filter water but it is a very good particulate filter.I use this filter just upstream of my water separating filter.

This is a paper sediment filter. It does not "condition" the water like a reverse osmosis filter does.

No, this EVOO is not filtered mechanically. It is "racked" which means that sediments are separated naturally, using gravity, by storing the EVOO in stainless steel tanks for about 2 months after pressing...

well that's two different filter types. iron needs a charcoal filter and sediment needs a regular paper or cotton filter, the charcoal filter will do both but will plug up fairly quick, depending on how much sediment is present. now if this is for a rv I would also recomend flushing out the water tank if that is where the sediment is coming from.

Bill,Yes, this system does remove arsenic and many other inorganic matter. The 5 micron sediment filter is pretty much a standard RO filter and works great. To absolutely prove that its removed..idk, but I bought a TDS water quality tester to measure the water quality difference from my normal faucet...it was 240 and went down to 4 after the 7 stage filtration. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it will! I believe it is a taste and sediment filter only! As far as I know the filtration of microbes or bacteria is beyond this filters capability!

You can but this system also filters the iron content. You don't need anything else with this system.

It does, But I would Recommend two of these One just for sediment and One for taste and odor,that way the filter lasts longer. Im going to do that Now on mine because the city has so much sediment in the water it clogged up my new filter in four months. I have to buy another unit with the Basic filter on it.
