What is installed to help remove suspended particles from a water well?

  1. Filter cartridge

  2. Sediment trap

  3. Sand interceptor

  4. Centrifuge unit

The correct answer is: Sand interceptor

A sand interceptor is installed in water wells to remove suspended particles from the water. This is different from the other options because - Filter cartridges are typically used in smaller filtration systems, such as for drinking water, and may not be suitable for larger wells - Sediment traps are used for solid particles and debris, but not specifically for sand in water wells - Centrifuge units are more commonly used in industrial settings and may not be suitable or cost-effective for residential or small-scale wells.
