Catch the grit before it gets anywhere
Sediment is the plain, physical stuff in water: sand, silt, pipe scale and rust flakes. It clogs faucet aerators, scratches valve seats, settles in water heaters and wears out the expensive media in softeners and carbon tanks downstream. A sediment filter is usually the first stage on any system we install, and on its own it is a cheap, effective fix for homes that see grit after water main work or in older plumbing. Irvine Water Systems picks the micron rating and filter style for what you are seeing, so it catches what matters without choking your water pressure. If you have noticed grit after a main was flushed or after plumbing work, a sediment stage is often the whole answer.
What a sediment filter install covers
A simple stage that pays for itself by protecting everything after it.
Micron rating selection
We pick how fine the filter should be, balancing particle capture against pressure loss.
Spin-down or cartridge
Spin-down filters you can flush out yourself; cartridges trap finer particles. Some homes get both.
Clear housings where useful
A see-through bowl lets you check at a glance when the filter needs attention.
Flush valve
Spin-down units get a valve so you can purge collected grit in seconds.
Pressure gauges
Gauges on either side show when the cartridge is loading up and due for a change.
Placement ahead of other treatment
The filter goes first in line so it protects softeners, carbon tanks and UV chambers downstream.
Bypass and shut-offs
Valves are set so changes do not require shutting off the whole house.
Change and flush routine
You learn how often to flush or replace based on what your water carries.
How sediment filtration goes in
Figure out the particles
We ask what you are seeing and where, and check your water report, so the micron rating suits the problem.
Install at the right point
We fit the filter on the main line ahead of other treatment, or at a single fixture if that is all you need. It is a quick job.
Test and teach
We check pressure before and after, confirm no leaks and show you how to flush or change it.
Why choose us for sediment filtration
Pressure stays strong
Too fine a filter chokes flow. We match the rating to your water and plumbing.
Protects bigger systems
A good first stage extends the life of every piece of treatment after it.
Easy for you to maintain
We set it up so flushing or changing it is something you can do yourself.
