Discuss Sediment Filter on main supply Block of Flats in the Commercial and Industrial Plumbing Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi all,

I'm on the committee on a community of owners for an apartment complex in Spain. It consists of 130 apartments. We have continual problems of sediment in the incoming water supply, blocking aerator in the taps, filters in shower mixers and even flexible pipes.

It's a common problem throughout our area. The incoming supply is approximately 80mm, the Spanish culture is not to worry about it and fix it when it breaks.

I'm trying to research the feasibility of installing a cleanable ot replaceable filter on the main supply so I can point out maintenance guy in this direction if possible.

I would be grateful for any suggestions and/or links to any suitable filters, or indeed if it's feasible.

Many thanks in anticipation.
