Sediment filter
Sometimes, you can find the world’s greatest mysteries while trekking through the depths and darkness of your own basement. This person discovered a mysterious object hanging from the basement’s roof. It was hooked to the water line but was also leaking water. If you’ve worked with plumbing before, you can probably identify it immediately.
It’s a sediment filter, which admittedly looks pretty frightening. It basically removes particles from your home’s water as it flows from the tank to a faucet. This specific sediment filter looks to be a bit worn out and in dire need of replacing. If you don’t replace it in time, you never know what contaminants you’re putting in your body if you drink straight from the tap.
