if your main/only issue is with sediment, just use a cotton string type of filter or similar type which should have a much better flow rate than the "sterilizing" ones. my first filter setup was a roughing filter first then a sanitizing one and had such a slow flow rate that I switched to two filters in parallel and got decent flow.

Yep, since you'll not be drinking from your tank just use a string filter inline with your fill or city water hose. There's no way to be sure that the water will be free from sediment especially when you're getting well water in rural areas. We've had our filter plug up after one tank fill. Get a filter with a clear housing so that you can see the condition of the filter and replace it as it gets dirty.
