11. Where does the solid matter go, that is filtered out?
Answer: The filters leave the solids in the water you are pumping from. Put another way the filters extract a filtered supply from the dirty water.
We do have solutions if you wish to retain the solids that are filtered out ring us to discuss.

12. Will the filters extract water from sludge?
Answer: No they won't. As a rule of thumb they work in water with some solids, not in solids with some water. The water to be filtered still has roughly the same viscosity as water. Once it becomes more viscous than water they are not suitable.
