Sediment Filter - 5 micron
$7.00

What's it like to breathe with a stuffy nose?  Difficult.  Similarly, make sure the sediment filter can breathe and keep your system running properly. 

This is the first filter that traps sediment and sand before any of the other filters. Be sure to install this in the Stage 1 position of your RO system, which is the first housing to fill up from your water source.

Melev's tip: Change this filter when it becomes discolored. As it traps particulates and gets clogged up, water pressure thereafter will drop and may cause the membrane to be less efficient. This filter should never appear brown (something I see so often), so change it!
