does the aerator also filter sediment and does it come apart for cleaning?

It does not have a metal filter that goes on top like some aerator's have. It does however have small holes in the second stage that can filter out the larger sediments "cork for example." Most modern wines do not really have much sediment in them anyway, and if they do, you can pour them through a cheese cloth or into a decanter. If I am going to drink an older wine that I know will have sediment, I will pour it into a decanter, then pour it from the decanter, through this aerator and into my glass. Cheers!Edit: Also, no it does not come apart, that I am aware of. All you need to do is run water through it to clean it however.

No don't believe so. I have not seen where it comes apart but running water through it cleans it just fine

It does not have a way to filter sediment. To clean it is very easy - you don't need to take it apart. just run it under warm water for a few seconds as let air dry.

The filter screen that comes with the unit has functioned well to capture bits of cork etc as well as initiate the aeration process. If kept clean by flushing after each use with warm water I can't imagine that it won't last for a very long time.

No. U just spin the handle at the top of the filter a few times and it turns flappers inside the filter that clean it out. It's a great dust collector. Btw buy the jet remote switch for it also. It makes it so much more convenient.

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.

After using the aerator for a while and multiple times through the wash I would recommend replacing it. This is just to insure you are getting the most out of your aerator.

Yes, it screws off but the threads are on the outside. Some aerators thread on the inside. See if your filter can screw on that way. I don't have a filter on mine.

no filter but it does require cleaning often and the instructions suggest to let sit w/ vinegar for an hr to kill bacteria. it's a pain but my 17 month old LOVES LOVES LOVES this thing so it's worth it!

use this with a sediment filter first. it can be damaged by large particles

It comes with only one filter, but I have to say it does a super job of picking up fine particles like sand and fine dirt. The filter fabric is like heavy cotton that you will need to clean with a hose to get all the dirt out of it.....

If the sediment is composed of particles large enough to be stopped by the filter paper yes. If not then you might look into other filter mediums like activated carbon.

It comes with an excellent owners manual. You will need to purchase the cleaner and filters. After a few cylcles pull the plug and drain the sediment; it's easy.

there is no sediment. I'm not sure why it should be there if it is filtered.

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.

Yes. The unit separates into 3 parts for cleaning. Often, a good rinse is all that's necessary. Disassembling and reassembling is very easy.

It does not. It attaches to a standard faucet when you remove the aerator. We use it in our garage set tub.

This filter wouldn't work totally submerged--the water would flow out the top without passing through the filter media--but it doesn't function as an aerator. It only makes bubbles when the water level in the tank is low.
