What is a common effect of using a sediment filter in water systems?

Using a sediment filter in water systems primarily serves to remove particles and debris from the water supply. These filters are designed to capture larger sediment particles, such as dirt, sand, rust, and other suspended solids. By filtering out these contaminants, sediment filters help improve the overall clarity and quality of the water.

While removing particles and debris can indirectly lead to improved water taste, the primary function is focused on the physical removal of those solid contaminants rather than enhancing flavor profile specifically. Additionally, sediment filters are not effective at reducing pathogens or increasing water hardness. The effectiveness in preventing larger debris from entering the water system ultimately helps to protect other filtration systems downstream and maintain system efficiency.
