The use of a sand filter (separator) may save you money over time by possibly extending the life of your regular water filters and water heater. They may also prevent sand from depositing in your plumbing lines. Lakos is a leader in the sand filtration industry and PlumbingSupply.com is your source for Lakos products.

After the sand filters, we recommend installing a smaller particle filter.
Through 1" we recommend the #W10PR housing with
either the #W30PEHD or #W50PEHD
filter cartridges.
Through 1 1/2" the #W15PR housing with dual
#W30PEHD or #W50PEHD sediment cartridges are recommended.

The Sand master can not eliminate red colored clay/soil/mud - it will take out sand (which is heavier)
but the red color may indicate another water quality concern.
