      Silt Density Index FAQ

      SDI is used to determine if and what kind of prefiltration will be needed for an RO system.

      • SDI of <5: No prefiltration is necessary.
      • SDI of 5-10: A media (sand-type) filter is required.
      • SDI of >10: A 2-stage media filtration is necessary - possibly with the aid of coagulants or settling tanks.
