Individual Replacement Filter
Standard particulate pre-filter: reduces sand, silt, and sediment.
Optional add-ons
Faster filter changes—without tools or broken fingernails.
Automatically shuts off the water supply when its detection pad gets wet.
What it does
Layered polypropylene media captures suspended particles down to 5 microns.
Helps reduce rust, sand, silt, soil, dust, and pipe residue.
Helps protect downstream carbon and membrane filters from premature loading.
Sediment configuration
The Sediment Filter is the first stage. It comes before any carbon, UF, or RO membrane filter.
This filter
The Raintree™ Sediment Filter is the first line of defense in a multi-stage water filtration system. Its layered polypropylene media captures particles as small as 5 microns, including rust, soil, sand, silt, dust, and pipe residue. Reducing suspended material at the beginning of the filtration sequence helps protect downstream carbon and membrane filters from premature loading and supports more consistent performance throughout the system.

Replace at the rated volume, when flow or water quality declines, or at least annually if the rated volume is not reached. Sediment and carbon pre-filters may require more frequent replacement depending on water usage, incoming water quality, sediment load, chlorine level, and other contaminant loading.
Install as the first filter in the system, before any carbon, UF, or RO membrane filter.
