 sediment in water pipes
Author: Cookie (WA)

I live in a mobile home park and there is sediment coming through everyone's water pipes. The faucet filters have to be cleaned often as does the dishwasher filter. Does anyone know of a filter I could attach to the water hose going into the dishwasher? Like under the sink? We have a new Whirlpool dishwasher and I don't know if there is a filter or where it could even be. I wish we could afford a whole house filter but I'm afraid not. Help please?

if sediment is getting to the dishwasher, you have serious problems.
look around for s professional to install a whole house filter.

The are inline filters you can install in the dishwasher line, but as a practical matter, any "debris" should settle out in the water heater so you should NOT have problems with any hot water line.

Thanks very much for your advice! I never though of that. I will have a plumber check out the hot water heater.

IF you have a "self cleaning" water heater, that could be the problem, because they WILL stir up the debris on the bottom of the tank and flush it into the water pipe, assuming there is adequate velocity/flow to "activate" the feature.
