The process includes important steps to ensure a proper housing seal and prevent any leaks.

Investing in a sediment-reducing filter is beneficial for several reasons. While sediment in drinking water is not particularly harmful to humans or pets, it can be an indication of lead or iron contamination, which can cause serious health issues. Sediment filters also help protect other appliances and possessions from the harmful effects of particles, which can cause staining, spots, and wear and deterioration on pipes and appliances. Additionally, sediment filters can increase the lifetime of other filtration media in your home by reducing the number of particles and contaminants that would otherwise wear on those filters.
