Clogged Water Filter

upnorth · 07-06-2005, 06:53 PM

We've been having some problems with our house-wide water filter clogging with sand that is being picked up from the pump in our artesian well. While the filter is doing its job preventing the sand and silt from going through the plumbing, we are finding that we need to replace the filter cartridge too often (the result is low water volume and so we notice the clogged filter that way).

We had our plumber out to take a look and he is recommending a sand separator.

Any one have any comments on this device and its use/effectiveness?
