We live in NYC so we added the Sediment Filter with Epic, but this reduces the water flow/pressure quite a bit. Seems to be an unavoidable trade-off.

The new ACV complements the Ames package of products designed for fire protection systems, which includes the Colt™ and Maxim™ Series backflow preventers, gear-operated slow-close ball valves, in-building risers, and UL/FM strainers.

Ames4000SS Manual

Ames Fire & Waterworks announced a new grooved-end automatic control valve (ACV) for reducing water pressure in fire protection systems.

The grooved-end 910GF ACV is UL-listed and available in 2- to 8-inch sizes. It is typically installed in commercial or industrial fire sprinkler systems to automatically reduce a higher inlet pressure to an adjustable lower outlet pressure.  The diaphragm-actuated, pilot-operated valve is sensitive to downstream flow and pressure fluctuations.

* Important: Sediment filters only reduce sediment >5 microns. They do not remove chemicals, heavy metals or make the water taste or smell better. This product should not be used as your only filter. Most water contaminants are smaller than 5 microns and will not be filtered out. This product is designed to be used in front of the Epic Smart Shield filter, so water passes through the sediment filter first collecting dirt, rust and debris greater than 5 microns, then the water goes through the Smart Shield which has submicron filtration with a solid carbon block. This will extend the life of your smart shield filter.

Introducing the Epic Smart Shield 5 Micron Sediment Filter, the ultimate solution for homes in areas with heavy sediment or older homes with questionable water pipes! Say goodbye to the damaging effects of sediment, dirt, rust and debris greater than 5 microns with this complete installation kit that comes with everything you need. The Epic Smart Shield Sediment Filter is the perfect addition to the Epic Smart Shield Direct Connect Filter System (here), which is designed to remove chemicals, heavy metals, industrial pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, human sex hormones, and microbial cysts from your drinking water. Don't let sediment in city or well water clog up your solid carbon block filters or change the taste of your drinking water. With the Smart Shield Sediment Filter, you can rest assured that particles as small as 5 microns will be removed before they reach your main filter, leaving your Epic Smart Shield Direct Connect Filter free to remove the bad stuff! Get the Epic Smart Shield 5 Micron Sediment Filter today and enjoy cleaner, safer drinking water for you and your family.
