Gross sediment

[Reef Pilot]

Yes, in Langley that can happen. There have been times when I had a plugged filter after just 1 month. Not sure what they do here, but have heard that it comes when they flush their pipes in certain areas. Lots of construction going on, too.

I now use a 5 micron sediment pre-filter, and change it (usually 3 months) before it plugs up my carbon filters.

I have seen that too, mostly in the spring, but as well, when construction occurs in the area.
As a side note, that grossness (word?) also occurs in your hot water tank. Flow of water slows down in there and sediments settle out. In the summer, I flush out my hot water tank.

There is a huge development going in a few blocks away from my home it must have something to do with that construction . The worst part of it all was it was all slimy GROSS good thing pre filters are cheap I will have to stock up

That's what happened to my pre-filters during the floods in June. I went through 2 or 3 pre-filters in a month if I remember correctly.

Yes, you drink that every day. Ew.

I know my tap water in abbotsford comes out at like 220 ppm. Im not sure but that also seems pretty high. I already notice my sediment filter browning and iv only had it for a week or two. After ro it is down to about 7+/-
