These high quality filters are being used at one of my client's Vermont summer house. It has a shallow well...very shallow..and a LOT of sediment is brought into the water system of the house. These filters allow them to enjoy clear drinking/bathing/cooking water for their vacation home, while protecting their plumbing and connected appliances from  clogging, and damage due to the content and  abrasiveness of the sediment.
