My neighbor who isn't so handy is complaining of her sediment filter clogging up every few days to once a week, which then reduces her water pressure. She then purges it to without restriction, the pressure goes back up. She also has an acid neutralizer, but it is after the sediment filter. When I asked her if the *rate* of sediment build up has been increasing, she said "no, it's always been this way [since they moved in to the neighborhood about 18mos ago]."
In my house I have no sediment filter, but when I clean out and refill my acid neutralizer once a year, I wind up releasing lots of dirt / sediment. I then let the neutralizer tank refill and cycle the timer to send the ugly water out during the backwash. I do that twice before adding more calcite.
So I'm wondering, could she use the acid neutralizer as a sediment filter?
FWIW, she has no water softener -- prefers the hard water.
Thanks all.
