Excellent product

"I use the Viqua 1 mic filter and UV sterilizer on a well water system. I went from 5 mic to the 1 mic without noticing any diminution of flow/pressure at the taps although I would expect some. Motivated by reports of microplastics as well as by potential infectives. Upstream from this system is a 5 mic sediment filter and a carbon/taste filter. Used this same setup on previous residence to insure safe water since my son was leukemic/immunosuppressed and we couldn't tolerate any waterborne disease."

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

What does the VIQUA CMB-120-HF reduce?

A:

It reduces sand, silt, rust, dirt, and other suspended particles down to a nominal 1-micron level. It does not replace a carbon filter or RO membrane.

Q:

Which housings or systems accept the VIQUA CMB-120-HF?

A:

The catalog lists these compatible parts or systems: CMB-120-HF, IHS22-D4, IHS22-E4, VH410-F20. Confirm the exact model number on your equipment before ordering VIQUA CMB-120-HF. Its nominal size is 4.5 by 20 inches.

Q:

Why use a graded-density sediment filter?

A:

The depth-loading media captures larger particles near the outside and progressively finer particles deeper in the cartridge, improving dirt-holding capacity while helping maintain flow.

Q:

How often should this sediment filter be replaced?

A:

A typical interval is 3 to 12 months. Replace it sooner if flow or pressure drops, or if the cartridge becomes heavily loaded.

Q:

Can it be installed before an RO or UV system?

A:

Yes, when the size and micron rating match the equipment. Sediment pre-filtration helps limit particle loading on downstream filters, membranes, and UV chambers.

Q:

Is a finer micron rating always better?

A:

Not necessarily. Finer media captures smaller particles but can load sooner and create more pressure drop. Use the rating specified for the equipment and source-water conditions.
