How Sediment and Activated Carbon filters work

---

 Sediment filters act like a sieve or strainer that catches large particles in water, such as dirt, sand, and rust. Imagine pouring a mixture of water and sand through a kitchen strainer. The water passes through, but the sand gets caught in the strainer. Sediment filters work the same way, trapping these larger particles and letting the clean water flow through. 

 Activated carbon filters use a process called adsorption to remove contaminants. Adsorption is like a sponge soaking up water, but instead of soaking up liquids, the activated carbon attracts and holds onto impurities like chlorine, pesticides, and bad odors. The carbon has a huge surface area with lots of tiny pores that trap these contaminants as water flows through.
