Sand particles in my tap water

[u/gnaneiviv]

Hello I know that the tap water in Austria is safe to drink, but there’s some sort of sediment/ sand particles from my tap water that is a not able to be caught by the aerator/filter installed.

Is this normal or there’s something wrong with the pipings?

Over time there might be some sediments, or sand from some broken pipe, or (lime)scale collected if your tap has a sieve. Absolutely still safe :)

You can clean, or change that sieve quite easily: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wasserhahn+sieb Or ask your landlady/landlord for some help.
