Sediment Filter CLASSIC

Q1: What does the sediment filter remove?
It effectively eliminates foreign particles that enter through water pipelines — such as bits of rust, sand, and dirt — and protects the RO membrane. It's used as the 1st stage of filtration.

Q2: How often should you change the sediment filter?
It needs to be changed every 3 to 6 months, depending on your daily water usage and water quality.

Q3: What micron rating does this filter use, and what does that mean?
This is a 5-micron filter, meaning it captures particles as small as 5 microns — fine enough to remove visible sediment like sand, rust, and dirt while letting water pass through efficiently.

Q4: What's the difference between the Classic and Ultra sediment filters?
The Classic is the standard entry-level sediment pre-filter suited for typical municipal or borewell water with moderate sediment. If your water source has heavier sediment load or you want a higher-grade cartridge, the Ultra variant is the upgraded option — check the Ultra product page for its specific micron rating and service life to compare against this one.

Q5: Will this filter fit my existing RO housing?
Yes, this is a standard 10-inch x 2.5-inch diameter cartridge, compatible with most universal sediment filter housings used across RO and UV water purifier brands in India.

Q6: Does this filter improve water taste, or just remove visible particles?
It's primarily designed to remove visible sediment, dirt, and rust particles rather than affect taste directly — but by protecting your RO membrane and carbon filters downstream from clogging, it helps those stages perform better, which indirectly supports better-tasting output.

Q7: Can I install this myself, or do I need a technician?
Yes, it's designed for easy self-installation — no technician visit required. Simply unscrew the housing, replace the old cartridge, and reseal.

Q8: What is the total service life of this cartridge?
It's rated for approximately 6000 litres of total service life, which typically translates to a 3-6 month usage window depending on your household's water quality and consumption.
