We have a whole house water softener and filter, and when I fill the hot tub, these are bypassed, and I have never seen ant sediment in the ~500 gallons of the hot tub.
Thanks for your reply. Referring to the picture, water is coming in from the left; the brown filter, which starts out white, is the sediment filter, the black, which starts out black, is the charcoal filter.
