20″ Standard Pleated Sediment Filter
R202.86
Sediment filters, as the name suggests, are used to remove excess sediment from water that passes through them. Sediment filters do not remove any chemicals or heavy metals dissolved in the water. They also do not affect the taste or smell of the water, so make sure you have a sediment problem before choosing to use one of these filters.
