This ceramic media is the ceramic filter candle also known as the ceramic filter cartridge.
Ceramic fikter after sediment filter.
This ceramic cartridge contains millions of tiny holes a half micron in size which then traps all the impurities sediments and other bigger particles.
By expertly designing and machining sediment cartridges from sintered ceramic pentek has succeeded in creating a filter that not only traps dirt sediment and cysts down to 1μ in size but does so with significantly less wear than competing sediment filters.
Most popular systems provide only 40 700 gallons 150 2 660 liters before the filter must be replaced.
Sediment also prevents filtration systems like reverse osmosis and ultraviolet purification.

Sediment filters typically look like woven string figure 1 pleated paper figure 2 or spun polypropylene figure 3 and close up figure 4 are selected based on the particle size removed for example 2 microns to 100 microns.
However in most cases sediment filters do a good enough job to reduce the levels.
How this system filters water can be likened to the earth s purification process.
Sediment filters can be made of a variety of materials.
A small particle size 2 to 5 micron filter has smaller pores and thus requires more pressure to push the water through the filtering material.
The unique construction of these filter cartridges allows them to be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge significantly.
The most common general use sediment cartridges can be divided into two groups.

Wound string or cord polypropylene polyester cellulose ceramic glass fiber and cotton are among the most common.
Ceramic filters range from under sink installations for point of use consumption to portable filters you can take on camping trips to stay hydrated on your adventures.
Ceramic water filters are a versatile method of water filtration that use natural media to eliminate bacteria and sediment from drinking water.
Sediment filters are very common in many homes but they have a limited function.
Trace pathogen elements heavy metals and volatile organic compounds can still remain in your water.
These are thin pleated filters that trap contaminants on their surface.

Only sediment that will become trapped in the bed of natural media is removed.
Most commonly used filters are not re cleanable there is no feedback mechanism for filter replacement and most do not remove pathogenic bacteria.
A sediment filter traps and removes suspended solids from your water supply.
Sediment build up can wreak havoc on appliances clogging up valves and fixtures and ruining hot water heaters.
