Sediment in water

Signs of a water problem

  • Blockages in water systems and household appliances

Sediment (sand, clay, silt and other particles) can make water cloudy and affect its taste and smell. Such water may not be fit to drink, because sediment can contain contaminants, organic particles and microorganisms.

The sediment mentioned above can cause various health problems: gastrointestinal disorders and bacterial infections. There is also a risk that such sediment will clog water systems (pipes, taps, mixers) and damage household appliances.

To ensure clean, safe and good-tasting drinking water and the health of consumers, it is important to prevent sediment and the problems associated with it. This requires effective water treatment measures: removing sediment and using suitable water treatment equipment.

For private customers, Miridon offers AC and FA series units for removing iron, as well as various sediment filters.

Note: to ensure efficient operation of water treatment equipment and optimal water quality, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, use and maintenance.

Water analysis

Open/close more info

Water analysis is the foundation of a reliable water treatment solution.

The journey to clean water starts with taking a water sample. Miridon's accredited water laboratory analyzes the composition of the water based on chemical and microbiological parameters to identify the sources of problems – whether excess iron, the causes of hardness or microorganisms.

We also offer a certified water sampler service.

Possible solutions

Based on the water analysis results, our sales team will help you choose the right equipment.

AC series

The chemical-free activated carbon unit is designed to improve the smell and taste properties of the water. The activated carbon filter completely removes the smell and taste of chlorine and, to a small extent, organic substances dissolved in the water.

Particles of substances in the water are adsorbed onto the surface of the activated carbon filter media. During backwashing of the filter media, the activated carbon is loosened and the filtered sediment is flushed into the drain. No chemicals are needed to backwash the unit’s filter media. The unit works fully automatically, backwashing on a time basis. Under the standard program, backwashing takes place every three days. The installation site needs an electrical outlet and a drain connection.

FA series

The chemical-free filter unit is designed to remove precipitated iron (Fe3+), drift sand and mechanical particles.

The essence of the process of removing iron and other mechanical particles is filtering the precipitate into the filter media. The precipitate is captured and, during the backwashing of the filter media, is flushed into the drain. No chemicals are needed to backwash the unit’s filter media. The unit works fully automatically, backwashing on a time basis. Under the standard program, backwashing takes place every three days. The installation site needs an electrical outlet and a drain connection.

Filtration 

Filtration is a water treatment method that uses various filters to remove microorganisms. To improve the clarity and purity of the water, the water passes during the process through special filter media that can stop microbes and sediment particles. The effectiveness of filtration depends on the chosen filter media and the filtration process. Some filters may need replacing or periodic cleaning to maintain their effectiveness.

  • Sediment filter consists of a dense material that prevents microorganisms and larger sediment from passing through. Such filters are, for example, sand filters or fabric filters.
  • Activated carbon filter. Activated carbon is a porous material that can adsorb organic substances, odors and microorganisms from the water. Such filters help reduce the microbe content in the water and improve taste and smell.
  • Microfilter membranes are made of a fine porous material that can stop the passage of microorganisms, bacteria and larger particles.

Miridon’s product range includes various filters such as: Irri, Pulifill, Odis, Permaster (screen filters), cartridge filters and bag filters.
