Water Treatment Stage Order: Sediment, Carbon, Softening, RO, and UV

Water treatment is often discussed as a set of separate products, but a real home setup behaves like a sequence. The first device changes what the second device receives. A clogged sediment cartridge can starve a carbon filter. A softener can protect some downstream equipment while changing taste. A carbon stage can protect certain membranes or improve aesthetic quality while doing nothing for a contaminant it was never certified to reduce. UV can help with a specific disinfection role only when the water reaching the lamp is clear enough and the unit is maintained. Order is not decoration. It is part of performance.
