We are putting in a whole house filter system since we need to draw from the lake directly. The first stage of the filter system is a point of entry filter that does a great job of filtering sediment. We have not bought it yet, but have been getting some good recommendations on it. See link here below for a description of the Judo Sediment Filters. The only problem I can see is the price (>$1,000 for self cleaning, 1/3 that for manual cleaning), but it definitely does the job.
